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

Timbo's on the nose, i like the way it's going down

Somehow I missed the detail about the panic buttons being torn out before last Wednesday. What the fuck. I feel like we are never going to learn the full truth about what happened and who all was involved.

xxp Talk Talk

Maybe I’m paranoid and maybe this isn’t even how it can work, but I do wonder if some of this stuff, including elected officials probable involvement, will get deep-sixed as part of a deal w Republicans to take this Seriously and make this appear ‘bi-partisan’, even if it doesn’t result in removal

Definitely have these thoughts form time to time and I do think parts of it will get deep-sixed. Not that I'm confident it happens but say if Hawley and/or Cruz does get expelled, I'm guessing part of it will have come about as a result of, "we GOPers will vote for it, as long as you promise the details of their involvement never gets out."

what kind of cut-rate broadcast sedative doesn't book Dave Grohl?

The attack on the Capitol was coordinated and planned.

Here are the insurrectionists talking about the plan, including detailed schematics of the Capitol building.

@ DJP - lol, true

xp ah that may be, but definitely not what that video shows

Sometimes I wish people would just take a breath before evaluating something.

"We need a plan" does not indicate to me that they had a plan, it sounds like they were making shit up on the fly and gathering on-the-spot intelligence to do so. Which is bad! Send them to jail for it!

The bad faith arguments of the GOP would be funny if they were not galling. "We don't want impeachment proceedings to hamper the new administration," shut the fuck up, you are the party of hampering.

"My fellow Americans, while I believe that I have won this election I believe that satisfying the concerns of every single American who thinks I did not are far more important than my own petty pride. Therefore, I am announcing that I will not be inaugurated until such a point -- and only at such a point -- that our current president, Donald J. Trump, is fully and completely satisfied that my campaign did not cheat or otherwise illegally act to usurp the election's results. I am willing to wait as long as it takes -- 1 month, 6 months, a year, 4 years -- for this to happen because in the end all that matters is the stability of this country."

On Tuesday, Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) got in a tart back and forth on a text chain with all freshmen GOP members, according to sources who've read the text messages.

The conversation started when Greene — a fierce defender of President Trump and former QAnon backer — sent a National Pulse article to the chain claiming the president’s approval numbers had increased in December.
Mace, who came out early against Republicans who planned to reject the election results, fired back: “I’m disgusted by what you and other Q-conspiracy theorists did last week in the chamber after all of the violence.”
Greene said she condemned it and told Mace “don’t believe the fake news." She also brought up how some Black Lives Matter protests turned violent.
Mace answered: “Literal QAnon lady trying to deny she’s a QAnon lady.”

Personally, I'm hoping that fucking Trump sign gets taken off his Chicago River building. It's a nice looking building, otherwise.

Besides the whataboutism wrt to the protests last summer being complete and utter bullshit, how long are we going to have to listen to that as a one-size-fits-all excuse for the GOP to pull awful things?

Cannot wait for the day those letters come down. I used to work in a building in the 800 block of South Wabash and could see the damn sign clearly every time I turned north out of my office. Funny thing was, after the building was completed and before that sign came up, I was thinking, "that's actually a very good building for the Trump portfolio", until he pissed his name all over the side.

I mean, it's fine but it's not THAT great.

Compared to other Trump buildings it's pretty good though. I expected far worse.

rode down the west side highway for the first time in a few years and was super happy to see his name off all those buildings around 70th

It's in maybe the 40th percentile among Chicago high rises.

can't wait for all of the extra security measures that become a part of everyday life thanks to this bullshit

You talking about his diapers again?

Luttwak's Coup D'etat is classic and key.

xpost AGAIN? My subreddit got took down dude

I really want to make a "poo d'etat" joke

I'll allow it.

I still hear about Benghazi and Uranium One.

Right now, republicans are not defending the president. They’re saying impeachment would be divisive. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the “this would be divisive” from a defense lawyer during a public corruption trial.

As we are accelerating to 400k American deaths from COVID, take a look into the mind of this idiot:

The Left:

-Won’t let you go to church.
-Won’t let you go to work.
-Won’t let you go to school.

And now? They don’t want you to be able to speak.

— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) January 12, 2021

Starting to think the civil war might end up being GOP/MAGA/Anti-Vaxxers vs the virus.

Ugh

Jordan can't even speak the five words "Biden won the election fairly."

Won’t let you go to school.

He's particularly upset about this one

House vote on impeachment is currently split neatly by party line. Such bravery among the GOP, who clearly want to go repeat last week's horrorshow if at all possible.

Feels like Impeachment Day comes earlier every year.

wait till Biden's president.

Stuck in a training session at the moment, are they still voting on the rules? Or is this the actual impeachment vote?

GOP ‘22 platform is going be basically IMPEACH SLEEPY JOE and LOCK UP KAMALA. (becz “lock her up” is so exciting to the base)

Even if MAGA freaks wind up actually killing GOP congresspeople, the GOP will learn nothing from this.

There's a difference between not leaning and not giving a fuck.

Rep. Bob Gibbs walks right around the metal detector and enters the House floor.

We’re back to this.

They should try this at the airport too.

So 4 of the remaining 8 outstanding GOP votes were allegedly "yes" votes, right? Or was it 5?

Oh wait, still not clear if this is the rules vote.

Apparently still a procedural vote, not for impeachment yet.
