The Trumpthuglicans have no issues they won’t throw under the bus at the drop of a hat if they think it will lead them to gain more power. They believe in nothing – other than power.

Yes. A key part of the 1/6 story.

Who cares? Clyde is as Fanone describes him. Clyde is nothing but a low-life coward.

Andrew Clyde is a gun dealer, born on November 22, 1963. Wut ?

Rep. Clyde is more than a coward. He is a sleazy little piece of human garbage.

Since Dear Leader’s daughter didn’t even let her secret service detail use one of their 6 bathrooms, this behavior is not much of a surprise.
They are there to be shot at because your hide is more precious.

“Like” a coward?

I never get tired of that question. Have you written ABC, CBS and NBC and told them they need to keep their coverage factual and not just parrot Republican messaging? They need to know viewers care.

Many snubs aren’t newsworthy. This one is for the reason you indicate. It’s a kind of high-water mark of hypocrisy and denial about the meaning of the incident from a party that fetishizes authority in all its forms.

As far as I can tell young people instinctively mistrust him. I remember my own youth when, as a vulnerable person, you saw a threat for what it was. Cats are the same way. I don’t think any halfway alert cat would be in a room with Trump. It would absent itself until that braying voice had been gone for a goodly length of time.

I would yell at him in the airport. Maybe throw something.

I mean really network reporters how much breaking new can you rely on getting from these 01/06/21 deniers?
They don’t ask the embarrassing questions because they want access.

Officer Fanone: It’s called calculated or studied rudeness and it’s a potent expression of hate or contempt. If he spit on you he could have not shown more dislike.

“…Fanone — who was beaten unconscious and suffered a concussion as well as a mild heart attack after voluntarily responding to the breaching of the Capitol on Jan. 6 — expressed his dismay…”

Wow. Who does Fanone think he is, Susan Collins? So much dismay!

The vast majority of Capitol Police were and are Trump-voting ball washers. They are being treated like bitches by those they continue to support, who will likely continue to ignore them and all be reelected next year, while they play victims on the news and whine about “those politicians”.

If they wanted to these cops could seize the narrative and shut the place down tomorrow till further notice, but they won’t because many failed at their jobs, fail to demand anything of their leadership, or the Republicans they vote for, and in my opinion deserve the treatment they’re getting.
