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

also what article is that alleged screenshot taken from

Veg otm

enjoying the idea that Stephen Miller is stuck in the elevator but since he's supposed to be hiding he won't call for help

he is drinking his own pee to stay alive

It's yet another reminder that there's no such thing as a lowest point. Green light, baby!

Green pee too.

everybody who has passed through that office been helping dig a massive underground tunnel to safety

trump dosn't even know about it, it's behind a sofa

AOC on instagram live saying she was literally almost murdered during the attack

— Joseph Fink, 👻🎃healthcare is a human right🎃👻 (@PlanetofFinks) January 13, 2021

So the other new Q endorsed rep, MTG, is trying her damnedest to catch back up with Boebert in the batshit stakes. Don’t want to share her tweet to amplify it, but she’s tweeting that the Dems have to answer for the violence.

It's the old "look what you made me do!" gambit.

JFC @ AOC. I somehow doubt we're gonna enjoy the privilege of having her as an elected official for much longer. She already seemed on the fence about sticking around, and I wouldn't blame her at all for beating feet.

increasingly feels like there's a likelihood of fbi finding direct proof of complicity and perhaps complicity with plans of explicit violence between congresspeople, trump staff and coup organizers and there's a trainwreck looming where a slew of people are gonna be charged with conspiracy to incite a riot

You have far more trust in and respect for the FBI than I do. Seems more likely they'll shoot a BLM activist than make a RICO case involving sitting Republicans.

AOC could have a fruitful career as a national organizer and leader outside Congress. MLK, Jr. never held political office.

Has Pence even seen Trump today?
― shivers me timber (sic)

It wasn't anything that took place today, it was Trump's words to Pence--according to Chris Cuomo, according the NYT--just before Pence left for the electoral-college certification.

oh my fucking god

that's almost the worst part about this, between this and the Jayapal interview you get the sense that some people had to hide from both the attackers and their coworkers

Just watch this whole thing from @AOC. pic.twitter.com/mqRRH5d5C8

oh he's definitely going down in history as a pussy

well he's definitely never gone down on a pussy

preach it, AOC! otm x 1000000000000000000000

xps to "You have far more trust in and respect for the FBI than I do."
i have neither! but i also think they want trump out of office permanently and they want to make it clear that no future sitting president gets to fuck with the bureau. i would also imagine that any extant evidence of conspiracy is gonna be blatant and obvious because these morons clearly dgaf and think they are bulletproof and gonna be pardoned so why bother.

NB: i may well be projecting.

OMG.

“In a live webcast Tuesday evening, @RepSherrill made a startling claim that other members of Congress led groups of people through the Capitol Building on a ‘reconnaissance’ mission one day before the riot that laid a deadly siege”https://t.co/Vc6oHZ8YfP

holy fuck if concrete evidence of this is uncovered

AOC OTMFM of course

xp well, as i was just saying...

Can you hear the drums Geraldo?

A loyal friend, hounded without mercy by Democrats intent on destroying him from Day 1. Then he lost the election. It made him crazy or revealed a dysfunction I had refused to see.
He then unleashed a mob to make war on their own government. 5 to their doom. @LizCheney is right

NYT quote about pence's role at the moment

“We’re very lucky that the vice president isn’t a maniac,” said Joe Grogan, Mr. Trump’s domestic policy adviser until last year.

what does that even mean

The 'down' button remains illuminated.

"Whooooa crazy. Damn! So it never came huh. Wow. He took the stairs? Daaaaamn. Is it stuck? Is someone gonna fix it? I'm shaking rn"

(ta - was misreading as this afternoon's procedural vote)

Lol, sorry, wasn’t trying to pass off that Miller thing as anything other than a evocative short story that seemed entirely fitting for a demon spawn like him. No idea what the original source was.

A very talented friend of mine, who interned w/ @GOPLeader, and at 20 was one of the highest ranked staffers in the Trump campaign, was just fired from his new job when client found out he worked for Trump. He now can’t afford rent. Still think cancel culture isn’t that serious?

womp womp

honestly, "you can go down in history as a pussy" is amazing

Wow, this thread got wild while I was making a deadline

xxxpost It's...intersting that your very talented friend chose not to disclose that particular part of his CV to his new employers.

"at 20 was one of the highest ranked staffers in the Trump campaign"
yyyyyyeah, that's probably not a great sign for the Trump campaign

at 20 years old he was already one of the biggest douchebags in american history

"you can go down in history as a pussy" is amazing

Someone made the point earlier today about YouTube flying under the radar through all this. No surprise, but Trump's YouTube account has been suspended now.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/12/tech/youtube-trump-suspension/index.html

According to Ayanna Pressley’s chief of staff Sarah Groh, the panic buttons in the Congresswoman’s office were all “torn out—the whole unit.”

They don’t know why or who did it. https://t.co/MLhxhi7nUp pic.twitter.com/l7wgoHOJKN

the very talented friend speaks

1) A couple of hours ago, I tweeted out that this tweet referred to me. Shortly after, I deleted that tweet. After much introspection, and talking with friends and family, I feel obligated to reveal why I deleted it. https://t.co/fQ4FRgY7qM

lovely stuff, if true.

Will be really great if Mitch gets rid of t's fantasies and gets lynched for his trouble.
Can the GOP eat itself in a fully ouroboric manner?

can we not use the word 'lynched' in any context now?

sorry. Thought it was fitting, a ringleader getting his own just desserts from a mob he'd helped rev up.
BUt will try to avoid in future.

Stevo is in Ireland tbf, we did invent it iirc

true!

My aul fella cannot pass the bank building on shop st in galway without pointing to the supposed relevant window, this is the only formal education i ever had iirc

8) Instead of standing up for me, instead of explaining to the NHL that I, as a person, am not solely defined by my previous work on the Trump campaign...

Imma stop you right there, son.

At-will employment sure is a bitch, you little fascist shit.
