And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

Pt. 1 of the Quest for the Golden Toilet.

btw does anybody else, whenever an old band/musician thread gets bumped, instantly wonder if it's because they outed one of the musicians as a QAnon or something?

Nope, I'm the same, including when said musician is six feet under.

*yep

what throwing in the towel looks like

I just assume they're dead.

Hope for it, in Morrissey’s case

Chilling but excellent interview with Pramila Jayapal: https://www.thecut.com/2021/01/pramila-jayapal-surviving-capitol-riots.html

the look on the guy on the right when they cut from Hannity's Olive Garden monologue is priceless

The thing I hate most about myself is that I don’t have the ambition or industry to try to grift these rubes.

first they came for the fascists and, well, I was immediately concerned pic.twitter.com/XVJJThvyhT

iirc twitter is where her husband first said she was fat and disgusting or something

her husband's a white supremacist asshole

That Jayapal interview... wow

MeggyMcCain really bud just the most American American who’s ever Americaned. Top to bottom, just the consummate specimen

really is*

Apologies to the UYD homies

I found this fascinating, and I agree that Puerto Rican statehood would not guarantee the sending of two PR Democrats to the Senate:

The assumption that PR would consistently send two Democrats to the Senate amuses me, given that two of the last three resident commissioners (non-voting members of congress), elected island-wide, have been hardcore Republicans.

But it’s about principle! Uh er well let’s think on this one

"caused a lot of ruckus"

FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU

list of hundreds of Q tweeters i looked at sometimes now has zero, got to be the most comprehensive ban wave twitter has ever done

these people picked NOW to complain that corporations have too much power over speech, fucking now, the one time that they might actually be using that power toward a good end

I really hope that this doesn't have a chance of passing:

They genuinely believe that a healthy democracy is one where neonazis gain ground by spewing their hateful bile unchecked.

Good morning everyone!

President-elect Biden has chosen former South Carolina US Senate candidate Jaime Harrison as chair of the Democratic National Committee, replacing Tom Perez.

this is very good IMO

Manchin on Hawley/Cruz:

"There’s no way they cannot be complicit in this. That they think they can walk away and say 'I just exercised my right as a senator'... I don’t know how you can live with yourself right now knowing that people lost their lives.” https://t.co/sTUW6JiTj4 pic.twitter.com/xMc6IaoEyK

wonder what all the trump isnt technically a fascist because of x y and z people are thinking now that he attempted a coup

btw underrated aspect of the whole thing he kinda tried to assassinate pence in the process

everyone seems to be talking about the new video footage this morning

Meantime, when your grift options dwindle.

Don Jr goes live on Insta to tell people to give him their emails in case he’s kicked off all the platforms - and that he won’t try to sell them anything but, well, you can buy his books on his site too! pic.twitter.com/8R5WHH4xqK

they're like the dude who covered his face in lemon juice and robbed the bank, thinking it'd make his face invisible

the podium guy was not willing to cut his hair tho

what footage?

this, I guess: https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/chris-99178053752

Maybe the one of the cop being crushed and screaming in pain that was on Chris Hayes last night? Somebody linked to it upthread but of course thread is so long might be easier to find somewhere else.
xp

xp yes that video

"Must-see new video shows Capitol riot was way worse than we thought"

5 ppl die haha what a lark new video oh no theyre smushing a guy

that’s not quite it

more video = more doxxing, which is good

Yeah it’s so weird that seeing footage might be more impactful for some people than just reading abt something, rly makes u think.

Watching them smush the guy makes one feel some of what it would be on the inside of the chamber wondering if these fuxx0rs were going to get in.

It’s like I knew for four years plus this orange monster was a fascist but yet somehow it didn’t really sink in still something visceral about seeing his minions in action, so sue me.

Jayapal for president

Yeah it’s so weird that seeing footage might be more impactful for some people than just reading abt something, rly makes u think.
