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

Im not sure id take a narrow, specific view of the goals of the people openly planning to murder their political enemies

i'd be so glad to be free of Scott.

I miss those red "Rick Scott is an Asshole" bumper stickers

xpost just reiterating what the HOuse themselves said to the press today

obv it doesn't matter what their goal in when it involves murdering politicians in cold blood, Turner Diaries style

as many as 15,000 National Guard to be present at the Capitol during Inauguration. jfc

That rules committee meeting going on right now is pretty intense.

What about state Capitols?

xp

Pom, I’ve been thinking about that too. Hope they’re getting ready.

that'll be more up to individual Governors, so I haven't seen news on that yet.

i imagine there'll be some fortification there

some theorized that Trump sympathizing Governors might deliberately handicap the response but idk, they aren't fans of getting shot and right now these militia nuts are turning on their own Republicans who "didn't do enough" as well.

It may - *may* - be a positive that we haven’t heard much news, for the obvious reasons.

I assume Georgia will be ready since there was already a bit of action on that front last Wednesday. Hopefully all others intend to follow suit.

Now if only Obama had actually whisked everyone's guns away back when he was still POTUS…

Gym Jordan is the fucking worst

Lindsey Graham is with Trump on AF1 right now

I thought enough was enough

yeah i suspect most governors despite what they may have said up til now dont actually want a bunch of armed lunatics showing up at their place of work

gonna see a lot of calling in the national guard

Has any pintalking head mentioned Chekhov's gun yet? No doubt this is the third mention on this thread

ilx's gun

what did jordan say? i'm watching now, and it's someone else who seems freaked out by jordan, but who also said that he was glad that jordan finally admitted that biden won the election and he should keep saying that

“Congress needs to stop this, this effort to remove the president from office just one week before he is set to leave,” Jordan said. “These actions will only again continue to divide the nation.”

And:

“I said that Joe Biden won the election but that there were problems with how it was done,” Jordan said.

Structural consistency would be the Presidential emergency alerts on our phones going off, having been tested a few years ago.

it was a silly lawyerly committee meeting with nothing statements on both sides tbh

oh, so he's just being jim jordan.

that guy will always be like that, he's like a roger stone, just a reaaaaaaaaaal piece of shit

i missed that sheldon adelson died! great job sheldon! you did a great fucking job with all your money!!!!!

I also didn't hear much that I didn't expect from that meeting.

xps to Neanderthal- I think Scott is getting calls to resign from heading the NRSC, not from the Senate. Although I’d love it if he resigned from the Senate of course!

yeah, the NRSC.

you guys watching the workings of congress, real sickos

rep. Lesko is my mom

"please, let's just move on" from "what happened last week", "you won, ok?"

"what is the point?", she asked (of forcing trump out of office)

i don't know...accountability? any SHRED of accountability?

lol redd, i too always think of that song whenever i hear the phrase "call the national guard"

Also... what exactly are they thinking they are stopping Democrats from doing? It's already been certified, it's not like they are going to be voting on anything for the inauguration. Just so dumb.

This is like wondering what Republicans in the minority from 2008-2010 were going to do. The answer is anything it takes: filibuster, gerrymandering, voter suppression, bombings, shootings, etc.

Jim Jordan refused to acknowledge that the election was fair, every time he came close to admitting it, he would backpedal and throw in some bullshit caveat.

Reminder that nearly all GOP senators voted to convict Clinton for lying about a blow job

I was specifically talking about the militias that are planning to surround the Capitol at the inauguration and stop Dems from getting in.

Republican Senators, on the other hand

"I said that Joe Biden won the election"
