Pelosi Supports National Guard Remaining At Capitol ‘As Long As They’re Needed’

[murgatroid]

My eye doctor was tut-tutting during the exam about the fences and barbed wire and security presence around the US Capitol. “This is not what freedom looks like,” he declared. I asked him whose fault that might be. He declined to answer…

As someone raised evangelical, I’d just like to say it’s been nice knowing everyone, and I hope we all survive the Rapture.

This is like finding out rust has teamed up with metal fatigue and cancer.

The problem is that “either” means “in perpetuity” unless the miscreants (including the head miscreatizer) are rounded up.

Moreover, Clarke said there has been a “crossover” between the QAnon systems and evangelical Christianity that is going to imbue right-wing extremism with the sort of violent fanaticism more associated with al-Qaeda or Isis.

So the jokesters calling evangelical Christians the American Taliban were actually not that far off. We’d better soft pedal this; otherwise, the Taliban are likely to be offended.

There is no “I” in Q.

Another money quote, because it applies to the GOP in general:

“You can’t negotiate with these people, and you especially can’t negotiate with QAnon, because how do you assuage grievances that don’t exist?”

Which is why the filibuster must end. The GOP grievance machine can’t be bargained with, because it’s mostly lies.

My favorite cancel culture moment is when 81 million Americans canceled seasons 5-8 of the trump presidency.

What time is the inauguration today? I can’t seem to find it on the television. /s

…“the threat of all the [former] President’s men out there,”

Words matter, particularily in this context.

Don’t touch that dial …

I was going to go with a much more crude, “da fuq, Nancy?”.

Well that’s just dandy.

If they enlist the legions of car warranty telemarketers, we’re doomed

Hawley has called for removal of the Nat’l Guard.

Duh. Having all those NG and fences around just totally fucked up the reinauguration plans for today.

Of course he has. He is trying to stay relevant by hanging on to the crazy, clothed in faux reasonableness, in hopes it will bring him support.

Where are the crowds of people gathering at the Capitol for Donald’s inauguration!?!? In fact, where is Donald? Isn’t he in DC for his coronation as preznit?

He doesn’t need to be in DC to collect the checks for the hotel rates he jacked up around today.
