having second thoughts about that link, sorry

“I was being portrayed on Yelp as a terrorist,” she said. “I wanted to clear my name. Everyone in Beverly Hills knows I’m not—I am a Christian.”

fucking lol

never apologize for that link, it is very lol

it is true

Bisignano said she called the FBI on the morning of Jan. 12, but was placed on hold and had to go to work before she spoke with anyone.

where is Ned to say "pobrecito"

Is there any scope to get right of presidential pardons altogether

It just seems like something an actual working country shouldnt have,

/rid xp

sorry xpost

I mean sorry to her, I did not know she was a Christian, we're good now.

it's not THE bullhorn lady, it's *another* bullhorn lady.

thank you! good to clarify.

these people really fucked up trump's life, lol

it is so fucking sweet to watch them smash headfirst into the wall of consensus reality

I really wish they'd get *the* bullhorn lady because I expect it'll be hilarious

St Peter was a christian who denied his saviour too, story checks out

Loads of great quotes in that, but my favorite is “And I’m like, I didn’t know we were storming the Capitol. I should have dressed different.”

jesus how many bullhorn ladies were there

A: all of them

It’s pobrecita for a woman.

only 20, but everybody who heard them formed an angry mob

irl lols, thank u all

(suzy, noted! I shoulda caught that)

lmao

“We the people are not going to take it anymore. You are not going to take away our Trumpy-bear, you are not going to take away our votes and our freedom that I thank God for. This is 1776 and we the people will never give up. We will never let our country go to the globalists. George Soros, you can go to hell,” she adds.

fucking lol: the quickening

“I was caught up, I was scared, I was excited,” Bisignano told the Courier. “A guy said to say that over the megaphone. I don’t even remember saying it.” She also said that there was fighting going on in the crowd, which she attributed to “antifa and BLM.” “We were being beat up by other people,” she said.

Just one giant run-on of deflection greatest hits. Depressing. The Family Circus "not me" meme is too close to home for these folk.

has ghislaine maxwell been pardoned yet?

An angry mob could break down my door and drag me out into the street for execution right now and my last words would be "'Trumpy-bear' tho"

lol DJP

All these folks who watched Trump get away with shitting his britches every day for four years and thought it would be a great idea to violently snap off their own social regulation safety catch...should we just consider them feral at this point? Like I don't see them ever tempering their mania sufficiently to ever again contribute to society in any meaningful way. We should just create like a game preserve for them or something, let them scream 'SOOOOOOROOOOOS!' through a bullhorn at cars as they drive through.

where is Ned to say "pobrecito"

It was implied.

Fucker Carlson: “Unmistakably,” he said, “the Democratic party is using those troops to send the rest of us a message about power: ‘We’re in charge now. We run this nation, from Honolulu to our colony in the Caribbean and everywhere in between, very much including where you and your family live. Do not question us men with guns. We control the Pentagon.’ And indeed, they do.”

Indeed they do!

Unmistakeably.

“I was caught up, I was scared, I was excited”

This is like the poster tag to some erotic thriller exploitation flick. Like "Angel V: Capitol Offense."

seems like the kind of message you'd probably want to send after someone attempted a mass slaughter of your legislative bodies and VP

BREAKING --> Fox News political editor Chris Stirewalt was laid off today alongside just under 20 Fox News staffers. Stirewalt sat on the Fox News decision desk, which has come under fire for its early call on Arizona election night. Story forthcoming...

I'd read somewhere that the Fox decision desk is somewhat independent and actually sort of respected for their calls... oh well, time to purge.

their polling operation's supposed to be excellent too

"Respect? ResPECT!? We can't have a whiff of that stench about the place, begone with them all Jenkins and make it snappy!"

Some last spasms. I do wonder how they'll recalibrate.

I assume the decision desk thing is meant to be distancing Fox from what is seen by their viewers as their most liberal arm.

But it may just be part of the broader decision since the election to essentially stop news coverage and go full opinion. (There’s now no news shows after 7pm IIUC)

Why bother having a decision desk if the Republicans can no longer lose an election?

Pundits are cheap as chips, that's the way to go

Is there any scope to get (rid) of presidential pardons altogether

Because the pardon power is granted in the original US constitution, it can only be changed via amendment, which requires massive consensus among Congress and state legislatures. So, no.
