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

had a dream last night that FOX was advertising an airing of "Home Alone 2: Uncut" as "the version the fake news doesn't WANT you to see"

sic why the hell are you posting old Trump tweets, which both drive referring traffic to Twitter AND amplifies Trump’s online presence?

People are missing Trump already, it seems

I did not post anything that could drive referring traffic to twitter

Thank you for those tweets. Love them. Great stuff.

On a different Twitter note, this thread, by one of the best journalists who has been studying Q regularly for years now, had this thread an hour back. Worth keeping in mind in terms of what's next after the 20th:

Over the last few years, I kept in touch with some QAnon supporters through DMs, checking in on them to see if they'd ever come out of it when their next doomsday came and went.

They'd typically first message me calling me a Satanic pedophile. I'd ignore it and ask questions.

"they think they're the good guys" otm

some of my mother's friends went full-on Q. she is utterly baffled by how crazy it sounds, but she hasn't spent much time on social media

Lmao these people. Katie Porter is fine and seems like she might be an improvement if it weren’t got the fact she she could easily lose her seat the next time the republicans have a good midterm election.

It's not as wide as the GOP, but there's also a gap between grassroots Ds & their leadership. The left, of course, has little use for either cong leader.

But it's also resistance folk.

How many who RT'd this even know who Hakeem Jeffries is?https://t.co/yAjxFtBygs

Whomp whomp

Twitter has suspended the account of Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, for 12 hours, for repeatedly tweeting election misinformation, the company tells @donie. (She tweets a lot of wildly inaccurate stuff about the election and other subjects.)

sounds to me like someone openly trolling the QAnon folks

Amazing weight loss on lardarses part and is Biden wearing a fat suit
. Must be. Surely.

I'm actually pretty okay with this development if it means they mercilessly hound 'Biden with Trump's face' as he's trying to eke out life as a private citizen.

yes otm

we should have had a pardon pool...what's the over/under? 20 pardons? 50?

For the pardon pool

W-1 further advised that HATLEY was sharing his geolocation with W-2 via the application “Life360” during HATLEY’s entire time in Washington, D.C. and had told W-2 he was going to attend the protests against the certification of the election. Life360 is a cellular phone application that allows individuals to track the location of a cellular telephone if the individual has installed the company’s technology on their phone. Individuals can create an account with Life360 that allows the user to share information, such as the location of the user’s cellular telephone, with another user that has downloaded the application. W-1 identified HATLEY’s cellular telephone number for the FBI.

Real brain genius hours

63,985th reference to "Confederacy of Dunces" but

This defendant, an avowed white supremacist, wore his court-ordered ankle bracelet to Trump’s speech on the Ellipse and then to the Capitol on January 6th.

He told his probation officer he would be distributing bibles with the Gideons that day. https://t.co/4Gcxh4812W pic.twitter.com/nKrpmvsVeM

Florida data scientist in battle with state over Covid dashboard plans to turn herself in
Rebekah Jones, who helped develop Florida’s dashboard, alleged a warrant was made out for her arrest on a charge unrelated to a December raid on her home.

The Florida data scientist, who alleged state officials fired her for refusing to change coronavirus numbers, said she plans on surrendering herself to law enforcement a month after authorities raided her home.

Rebekah Jones, who helped develop Florida’s Covid-19 dashboard, has been in a monthslong public battle with the state since she alleged officials ousted her from her position for her refusal to “manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen.” She announced on social media Saturday that she planned on surrendering to authorities.

“To protect my family from continued police violence, and to show that I'm ready to fight whatever they throw at me, I'm turning myself into police in Florida Sunday night,” Jones said.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-data-scientist-battle-state-over-covid-dashboard-plans-turn-n1254544

It turns out THIS was Biden's radical new agenda:

Pic is of course much more impressive full-size: column ov selfy-taking onslaughters

Man, they *fill* that passageway, wall-to-wall assholes---not so funny.

he walks the streets
no more today
the wicked one
who yelled that day

lol bet he doesn't realize he just ended his career

Other guy in that article is just straight up named chad huh

I've been listening to metal for over 35 years and I don't think I've ever heard a whole Iced Earth song.

i saw Iced Earth in like, 1998 & thought they ruled
i also thought Phil Anselmo was great when i was in high school

so i’m batting a thousand on these clowns

I loved these dudes since teendom and met them only a few years ago. there's a photo of me standing with Schaffer and company somewhere on this borad.

dead 2 me now

kill yr idols why because they are white supremacists

fucking hate this garbage world

brb walking into the ocean

dying to see his mug shot to see if he shaved

lmao

he told a German news station last November that a shadowy criminal enterprise is attempting to run a world government under a Communist agenda

The durability of this storyline is something. I guess it just has an elegant simplicity, endlessly malleable. I wish I had a copyright on it.

Rudy Giuliani now says he won’t on the Trump impeachment defense team. “Because I gave an earlier speech [at the January 6 Trump rally], I am a witness and therefore unable to participate in court or Senate chamber,” he tells me.

Oh so now Rudy knows the law? Doubt it

His final act of largesse.

large- what?

Over/under on a posthumous pardon for Timothy McVeigh?

If every pardon receiving capitol insurgent immediately goes out to further their agenda that means they're liable again dunnit.

I mean every crime committed after a pardon is a fresh unpardoned crime, and whatever protocol there might have been beforehand about trying to give people any form of leeway, which probably wouldn't have been a thing anybody would have adhered to goes out the window dunnit. like, defenestration and fun things like that.

Another specimen
