The president did mention walking to the Capitol in a peaceful manner.
***his mention of marching peacefully exonerates him from blame***
And when the crowd entered the Capitol building later on, he tweeted "I know your pain. I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us....but you have to go home now. You have to go home now."
Do you not think she's just running for vice prez though? None of the prospective runners and riders have said a word against Trump so far. All of these prospective candidates are currently spending money polling and focus grouping GOP primary voters so they can craft a message to run on and none of them will state a single policy that they disagree with Trump about when they're asked.Quote:

There are another couple of these I'm sure but can't find them with a quick search.
Here's Michigan where the guy voted to impeach Trump but now can't even say he wouldn't vote for him in 2024 because he still has political ambitions and presumably thinks saying he wouldn't vote for Trump would kill them.

The thing with the GOP is once you get away from any kind of ideological/intellectual mooring and just go flat out rabble rousing there's no way back. Once political parties go that route there's no way back for them. Whatever the establishment GOP are thinking is just whistling past the graveyard. After Trump goes their voters are going to want another Trump, a Trumpier Trump in fact. And there's no way to try and calm the voters down and make them think more moderately because they have Fox News and competitors poisoning their brains on a daily basis.

What would a third party even look like? Anybody who voted for Trump's impeachment or stood up against him in the House either got primaried out of office by a Trumper or retired before they could be primaried. In the Senate there's Mitt Romney who has some freedom to speak his mind because of the Mormon mafia running the GOP in Utah. If America does get a third party it'll be the MAGA party I think.

This is good on Fox News:
And if you ever believed that Tucker Carlson has retained any shred of interest in something called the truth — even after his pilgrimage to Hungary — check out his response to a moment when a Fox reporter accurately tweeted that there was no evidence of any shenanigans in the voting systems: “Please get her fired.” (The reporter’s tweet was deleted the next morning.) Even as he knew and believed that the Powell/Giuliani narrative was literal madness, he cared much more about ratings than the legitimacy of the democracy that makes his career possible. “Do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we’ve lost with our audience?” he texted his producer at another point, because some of them had actually told the truth.

- Lied about how Brian Sicknick died
- Lied about Barry Loudermilk taking rioters on a reconnaissance mission
- Lied about Josh Hawley running away
- Lied about Ray Epps being a credible witness
Besides misleading the public, they withheld evidence for partisan political reasons that sent people to prison for far more serious crimes than they committed.
That is deeply wrong, legally and morally.
A whole new, and completely opposite, picture has now been indelibly painted.
The Mockingbird media says you must still believe Jan 6th was an “Insurrection” despite newly released video footage, which was hidden from the public for two years, showing the opposite 😵*💫
The establishment’s unified damage control shows how freaked out they are at the prospect of the American people being allowed to see a fraction of the footage withheld by the Jan. 6 sham committee.
Serious question.
Does ANYTHING of what you've posted above change what we've all seen with OUR OWN TWO EYES from the January 6th Capitol riots??
Does it MATTER that we've never seen (cough)... the "entire footage"??
Will it change one IOTA of the violence that was caught on video for the world to see on January 6th??
Were the videos we actually saw PHOTOSHOPPED... STAGED... OR OTHERWISE FAKED by the (cough)... "Deep State" in an effort to throw more dirt on Trump??
Does the personal testimony of those people that were assaulted and injured during the riots mean ANYTHING AT ALL??
I guess that was more than one question.
Here's the bottom line:
It has become a SAD DAY IN AMERICA when not even events caught on video from EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE are sufficient to sway the legions of Minions into recognizing what is plainly right and wrong... and what is plainly CRIMINAL.
Two takeaways from this:
1. The brainwashing was thorough and complete.
2. Trump should never utter the phrase "third-world country" ever again. He and his minions have seen to that.
What's even worse is having an elected official and 3rd in line to the office making backroom deals for votes and directly streamlining committee footage to a primetime Putin apologists and major network propagandists. But yeh, Hawley ran. They all ran. That's kinda the point. No footage changes violently storming the Capital in mass because the free election process in this Republic didn't happen to go your way.Quote:

I know who will love the January 6th Tucker Carlson bullshit -- the lawyers in the Dominion case against Fox.
There are new texts and emails just released about what various Fox people were saying to each other just after the election. Some highlights:

It had been more than a week since the news networks projected that Joseph R. Biden Jr. would become the next president. And Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham were at a loss about what to say on the air.
“What are we all going to do tmrw night?” Ms. Ingraham, the host of the 10 p.m. show on Fox News, asked her colleagues in a text message chain on Nov. 16, 2020.
Mr. Carlson responded that he planned to devote a significant chunk of his program to a little-known voting technology company that had become a target of Trump supporters who suspected the election had been rigged: Dominion Voting Systems.
“Haven’t said a word about it so far,” Mr. Carlson said, acknowledging that the conspiracy theories about Dominion’s purported role in a fictitious plot to siphon away votes from President Donald J. Trump were making him uneasy.
“The whole thing seems insane to me,” he wrote. “And Sidney Powell won’t release the evidence. Which I hate.” Ms. Powell, a legal adviser to the Trump campaign, was “making everyone paranoid and crazy, including me,” Mr. Carlson added.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/07/b...tics&smtyp=cur
A producer for Tucker Carlson noted “One funny thing” during a Nov. 20, 2020, exchange with an unidentified person.
“Dominion was used in Ohio and Florida,” Alex Pfeiffer wrote. “Trump won them. Did they forget to rig those or all part of the plan?”
Two months after the election and just days before Jan. 6, Fox host Tucker Carlson texted with an unknown Fox employee about how badly he wanted to stop covering Trump.
“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights,” Carlson texted Jan. 4, 2021. “I truly can’t wait.”
“I hate him passionately,” Carlson added.

In the weeks after the November 2020 election, Rupert Murdoch, the powerful chairman of Fox Corp., fretted that Donald Trump, the president he had supported, was going “increasingly mad.”
He vented about the pollsters who worked for him at Fox News. “I hate our Decision Desk people!” he wrote in one email as the network — driven by analysis from the unit — prepared to declare that Joe Biden had won the election.
He worried some ideas proposed by Trump’s allies to convince state legislatures to reject Biden victories in key swing states “sound ridiculous” and could lead to “riots like never before.”

Donald Trump used his primetime stage at the CPAC conference this Saturday to taunt the Bush Republicans, globalists and neocons.
A dozen miles away, at a lower-profile gathering in downtown D.C. the remnants of that bygone GOP era gathered in a hotel ballroom, attempting once more to plot their way out of the obscurity into which the former president relegated them.
The two-day confab at the luxury Conrad Hotel, billed as the Principles First Summit, was implicitly constructed as a counterweight to the MAGA-fied Conservative Political Action Conference. But the programming also served to underscore the often-bleak, occasionally hopeless, existence that comes with being a modern day anti-Trump Republican.
The former Bush speechwriter turned columnist David Frum compared their effort to reform the party to blazing a landing strip in the middle of the jungle and simply waiting for planes to land. Former congressional candidate Clint Smith, who switched his party affiliation from Republican to Independent to challenge Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), described his state’s GOP as a forest of trees killed by an invasive species of beetle that crawls under bark to poison from the inside. Panels for the event included “Looking to 2024: Hope and Despair — but Mostly Despair” and “Can the GOP survive?”
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/0...ly-dc-00085758
Fuck. I had to come back and post this bit:
Someone tells him, “One [sic] the bright side — Trump has a pretty low rate at success in his business ventures.”Carlson responded: “All of them fail. What he’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong. It’s so obvious.”
At other points, both Murdoch and Carlson seemed to long for when Trump would be gone.
Two days before Jan. 6, Carlson texted someone, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.”
He added, “I hate him passionately,” and then, of Trump’s four years in office: “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There really isn’t an upside to Trump.”
After Jan. 6, Murdoch also mused about Trump’s fading away, asking former House speaker and Fox Corp. board member Paul Ryan, “Could he still resign and get Pence to pardon, then just disappear?”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...uit-documents/
Trump is a sham human being. You must know this, but still you seem to have backed yourself into bring Devis Advocate for the sake of it. He, like Musk etc is also the literal definition of establishment and mainstream. He has never been anything but that. Look at his being backed by Murdoch the most powerful msm mogul on earth. Look at Trumps aping and ingratiating himself with the House of Saad and c*nts like Putin and Kim. His defrauding charities and treating laws like optional choices. He is a spoilt brat that is every bit as idiotic as some entitled Royal spouting vacuous shite.Quote:

Jenna Ellis, the Colorado attorney who was former President Donald Trump’s senior legal advisor as he tried to overturn his 2020 election loss, has been censured by a Colorado judge for misconduct.
As part of an agreement in the case, Ellis admits that multiple statements she made in late 2020 about the presidential election being stolen were “misrepresentations.”
Yates’ complaint cited 10 misrepresentations by Ellis. On Nov. 20, 2020, for example, Ellis made stolen-election claims on Maria Bartiromo’s show on Fox Business and Sean Spicer’s “Spicer & Co.” show.
“We have affidavits from witnesses, we have voter intimidation, we have the ballots that were manipulated, we have all kinds of statistics that show that this was a coordinated effort in all of these states to transfer votes either from Trump to Biden, to manipulate the ballots, to count them in secret,” Ellis falsely said on Bartiromo’s show.
Referring to contested states Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia, she falsely said on Spicer’s show, “With all those states … combined we know that the election was stolen from President Trump and we can prove that.”

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) signed into law this week legislation that rolls back significant portions of the state’s child labor protections.
The law eliminates requirements for the state to verify the age of children younger than 16 before they can take a job.
Sanders believes the provision was “burdensome and obsolete,” spokeswoman Alexa Henning said in an emailed statement. Remaining state and federal regulations are still in effect, she said. Sanders signed the Republican-backed bill on Tuesday.

Burdensome.
Sheldon Whitehouse puts it perfectly:
House Republicans are reportedly groping for programs to cut to make
good on their vows to slash spending, a more difficult task since President Joe Biden strong-armed Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) into taking cuts to Social Security and Medicare off the table.
They’re being advised by former Trump budget director Russel Vought, whose budget outline includes nearly halving funding to housing programs — and phasing out Section 8 vouchers — and nixing Medicaid Affordable Care Act expansions.
“I think they have a predicament which is that they are so beholden to extremism and to a little crew of creepy billionaires,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) told TPM, adding: “So they’re torn between their big donors and the public, and they’re trying to paper that over by getting something negotiated in secret and by holding a hand grenade to the economy.”

The Tennessee House Just Passed a Bill Completely Gutting Marriage Equality
The bill could allow county clerks to deny marriage licenses to same-sex, interfaith, or interracial couples in Tennessee.
Marriage equality is technically the law of the land thanks to the Respect for Marriage Act, which President Joe Biden signed in December. But Tennessee’s bill exploits a major loophole in that law. Critics had long warned that the Respect for Marriage Act did not go far enough. The bill had been amended during the debate process to say that religious organizations do not have to marry same-sex couples, and the law also does not require states to actually issue same-sex marriage licenses.
This latest bill was passed alongside another measure that would require drag artists to obtain a permit from the government in order to perform. Both come just days after Governor Bill Lee signed two new laws, one banning drag performances in public and another banning gender-affirming care for minors.

Members of the South Carolina State House are considering a bill that would make a woman who has an abortion in the state eligible for the death penalty.
The “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act of 2023” would amend the state’s code of laws, redefining “person” to include a fertilized egg at the point of conception, affording that zygote “equal protection under the homicide laws of the state” — up to and including the ultimate punishment: death.
The bill was authored by Rep. Rob Harris, a registered nurse and member of the Freedom Caucus; it has attracted 21 co-sponsors to date.

Is Ron DeSantis Flaming Out Already?
The Florida governor has a plan to win the Fox News primary—and lose everything else.
eSantis is a machine engineered to win the Republican presidential nomination. The hardware is a lightly updated version of donor-pleasing mechanics from the Paul Ryan era. The software is newer. DeSantis operates on the latest culture-war code: against vaccinations, against the diversity industry, against gay-themed books in school libraries. The packaging is even more up-to-the-minute. Older models—Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush—made some effort to appeal to moderates and independents. None of that from DeSantis. He refuses to even speak to media platforms not owned by Rupert Murdoch. His message to the rest of America is more of the finger-pointing disdain he showed last year for high-school students who wore masks when he visited a college.
The problem that Republicans confront with this newly engineered machine is this: Have they built themselves a one-stage rocket—one that achieves liftoff but never reaches escape velocity?

It's a bit of a pointless indictment. Charging a former prez with a felony should be a fairly high bar, it should be something substantial and campaign finance stuff from years ago doesn't cut the mustard. Having said that the lawyer Trump used to make the payments was tried and convicted for his part in the crime and went to prison. And he was prosecuted by Trump's DOJ. I haven't read anything on how long this thing will take, trial date, appeal if needed and so on but I'll take a guess it'll last until after the 2024 election.
The real worry for Trump is the Georgia case especially if they go for RICO charges. That's not going to play well in public.
Read the very last paragraph:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/20/polit...lis/index.html
And then there's the special counsel investigations of January sixth and the classified documents thing. More indictments probably.
In other Trump news. Trump's "trade deal" with China wasn't an actual deal or treaty or so on, it was just an undertaking by China to buy more American stuff. Look how it worked out:
https://twitter.com/ChadBown/status/1636352292927447041
So they're buying less stuff after the undertaking than they were before it. Trump's other big trade move, scrapping NAFTA and making a new agreement was actually just a minor revision of NAFTA. Trump tried to get unilateral concessions from north and south of the border and was told to fuck off. His people explained to him what would happen if he tried tostart a trade war and other NAFTA countries retaliated (economic disruption, shortages and inflation that make the stuff the pandemic caused look like nothing) and he gave in and agreed to reciprocal concessions. America gained some car manufacturing jobs but gave up jobs in oother sectors. The change from NAFTA only affected less than ten percent of total economic trade under the agreement so the new agreement was ninety plus percent the same as the old one and the changes netted out to no overall change.
So the totality of Trump's trade policies resulted in a net American loss of trade. The world's greatest negotiator.
He wanted so farkin bad for that to happen today ;D. Victim squeal in 6,5,4,3...ah well. Maybe Friday. Anyone see large groups of whiny libs chanting "lock him up" yet?
Pretty sure it was reported on Monday that the grand jury wouldn't be meeting until Wednesday, none of them were there today to indict anyone.
