Enough With The Cutesy Titles, People Are Dead: US Politics January 2021 pt 2

yoooo

maybe jumping the gun here but

Their accents are very different

background on Boebert - wow, what a real winner:

Banana fana Boebert

Soon, he said, a security official “came up and said, ‘Hey, just wanna give you guys all a reminder: Everything’s under control, but if anything bad should happen, there’s bulletproof backing on all these chairs.’ And at that point, the Democratic side lost their minds. They just started yelling, ‘This is because of you!’ ”

The one yelling that was Minnesota's own Dean Phillips.

My mom’s congressman - and in some miracle, she voted for him.

I might’ve just gone to the front steps.” And there, facing the rioters, he said, “I think we could’ve stopped them.”

...and a little child shall lead them.

Cawthorn — now armed with a handgun, he said — took shelter in the office of a colleague. “It was a great bonding experience,” he said. “But it literally felt like a scene from The Lord of the Rings

Guessing this is the contemporary usage of 'literally'.

there ARE a lot of pointy-eared Congressmen

"Their accents are very different" Boebert and her mother or the woman in the pink hat and the mother? Because someone posted a video of her mother speaking in that thread and it sounds exactly like the woman in the megaphone. I suspect Boebert is about to have some serious problems.

I have to assume someone is literally getting off on this

Will Catholic Biden commute all federal death sentences day 1?

couldn't get t to sit in the wrong chair with a sponge on his head at all could they

Because someone posted a video of her mother speaking in that thread and it sounds exactly like the woman in the megaphone.

I think they sound nothing alike. Boebert mom has thick twangy cuhntree accent, megaphone lady has standard American accent, possibly eastern seaboard.

this is just a summary of stuff that's widely known by but reading articles like this are a real pick me up

I just got the reissued/updated version of Dark Towers, the book on Deutsche Bank that got a good amount of attention/press, but am kinda figuring there'll have to be yet another updated edition here soon enough.

no expert on business or finance, but if he somehow survives all this then we'll finally know that no consequences exist for the man

One executive in conservative media who’s still bullish on Trump’s prospects for creating a subscription-based video service conceded that recent events may limit possible platforms, advertisers and partners. Still, the executive said that even controversial porn purveyors can find homes online.

Thank you for that, Bloomberg reporter.

looking forward to getting account at peetape.ai this summer

fake inaugural credentials, a loaded handgun & over 500 rounds of ammunition

Self-radicalized ISIS-identifying terrorists are smart enough to choose softer targets. This bozo might just as well have thrown himself directly into a wood-chipper.

Looks like Rep. Boebert’s mom may have been giving directions through a megaphone at the rally (and definitely was in town and was given a tour):

The @FBI and @DCPoliceDept are trying identify the lady directing every move with megaphone 📢!

so are there going to be like 150 pardons announced on Wednesday morning

that was posted above and there seems to be ilx disagreement

(xpost)

oh I didn't even mean rioters...I just mean every one of his criminal associates

Glad to see the #bluewave #resist brains trust is ok the case.

Those videos of cops above are copaganda at its finest.

sometimes there are bad guys

It's excellent that the internet is dissecting every scrap of video minutely and passing on their tips. I wouldn't take that 'Boebert's mom' tweet as anywhere near conclusive. If it could be fitted to a larger pattern of evidence it would have some value; as a standalone it is pretty shaky.

I really don’t think Trump is going to pardon these people, not out of any conscience at all but because it would not be great for his case at either the Senate or any civil cases that may be brought against him post-presidency.

Boebert's director of communications has resigned, two weeks into her term. I look forward to her telling Tucker (and his new co-host, Glenn) what she really thinks about the libtards and the cucks and the mud people, without her staff holding her back.

I wonder if pushing stuff like this through is going to be easier because the distraction of an impeachment trial is going to make it harder to organise the kind of opposition that makes democrats too nervous to implement their incredibly popular policies.

thats great

In the replies, found the one person who read Matt Yglesias’s book

These people gotta understand China has 1.3 Billion people while the US has 330 million people, if we want to compete with China going forward we are going to need more people. Immigration and expanding the rights to the illegal immigrants is the first step.
