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

BULLCRAP!

Whoa, someone in BLM looted a Tesla this summer?!!

that's boebert. she is bonkers. i predict bachmann/palin-style career path for her

she's the same one who carries a gun, refuses to have her bag searched, won't go through the metal detector, and is probably carrying right now

she's a piece of shit and her husband exposed himself to children

wow, a republican (from WA, didn't catch his name) that supports impeachment

Newhouse, I think.

Their arguments are shit because they have no real defense of Trump or themselves. Some of them are dumb as shit so believe they are making good points but others know they don't hold water but the whataboutism and pleas for unity are all they've got. Throw it against the wall and see if it sticks.

gonna be Outhouse when Rs are done w/ him

The coward-est cowards are the ones who are not going to speak at all and just vote against it.

cori bush just gave them hell, called trump the "white supremacist president" and more. republicans booed her as she walked off.

cori bush is awesome.

He was handing out percodins like redhots to anyone who asked

what did boebert do/say on the floor

Interesting comment on that tweet:

Better late than never.

I want to recognize that WA's top two primary system helps protect our R's from being "primaried" in deep red districts.

So expect the WA delegation to have more range of freedom to do the right thing while protecting their jobs.

she yelled until her time was up

Twitter has apparently locked Congresswoman Gun-Toting Psycho's account.

Cori Bush is fantastic.

washington might be the only bi-partisan delegation that is unanimously pro impeachment

Twitter has apparently locked Congresswoman Gun-Toting Psycho's account.

Good. Hope MTG's is next. I've been reporting tweets from both of them over the last few days.

Another insurgent killed himself last Saturday. Just reinforces their inability to handle their actions' consequences, and that standing up to them isn't as fearsome as some politicians claim.

That link is dead already, fwiw.

true story: Boebert, who vowed to bring her glock to congress and is now setting off metal detectors and walking on into the chamber, is the proprietor of Shooters Grill in Rifle, CO. Lazy writers this season etc etc

i did know that but she seems like a person who would run a "home-based business opportunity" aka MLM scam

Interesting comment on that tweet:

And one of the other Rs voting for impeachment is Jaime Herrera Beutler, who's also from Washington.

That link is dead already, fwiw.

maybe due to overcorrecting in fear of sic.

here's the article:
https://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-man-arrested-following-capitol-insurrection-has-died-by-suicide/TYSJF7II6JG63G7K6JGON522JQ/

Weird - I cut off too much of the URL. And HA, that actually was in my thoughts when trimming the URL.

I suppose following the right-wing media model there should be a bunch of conspiracy theories about these suicides, but I hope that doesn't happen.

I’m for it if it turns them against each other.

A Georgia man name Christopher Georgia

Not to speculate too much here, but seems an extreme reaction to a trespassing and curfew violation charge. Hard not to imagine they feared worse charges to come.

Enjoying the debate. When is it this guy's turn?

xpost Feels to me like the Capitol breach was likely an attempt at suicide-by-cop by some/many. Something they didn't assume they'd walk away from. So, yeah, suicides after the fact don't particularly surprise me.

Imagine dying for Donald Trump.

Listening to the debate while working, every time I hear someone particularly loud and obnoxious I check and see who they are and where they're from. Man, Florida has a lot of fuckwits.

the ultimate con?
JUst seems so pointless really
LIke would think there was some gain for someone somewhere in any action worth doing

gotta serve somebody

xp Florida man gets around.
loved that bit in Atlanta where the guy thought it was one man

Pro tip: The Facebook/Twitter tracking junk in URLs usually comes after a "?" Delete the stuff after the question mark, keep the stuff before it.

I thought the gathered evidence was all over the place after teh last 4 years. Crimes done in plain sight might just be seen like.

These photos of young National Guard guys in the Capitol are oddly touching:

doesn't seem like 30 seconds is enough for anyone unfortunately. can't they be given longer?

Republicans like the last guy who say they'll vote against but slip in that Trump "exercised poor judgement," I wonder if he'll turn on them, too. 100% subservience or nothing.

If you're wondering whether Donald Trump will eventually turn on you, the answer is yes.

I mean, look at what he did to his skin and his hair

Those 30 second slots while the nation is actually paying attention are highly coveted. All the real debate takes place outside the chamber, in caucus, in the cloakroom, in hallways, on phone calls. These tiny speeches are rewards carefully doled out; they put a public face on the debate, but they change nothing in terms of voting. And the Republican ones are carefully rolled balls of dung.

dung's right.
JUst thought it wasn't great that everybody speaking was being told taht their time was over before tehy finished .
BUt if that's a tradition or something I guess they probably know what they're doing.

dude is dicknosing right now
