Well with Sen. Grassely musing that “peaceful protests” can turn on a dime into violent protests I wonder when the wonder boys are going to declare that all protests are now illegal?

Fictional enemies are the only ones they have a prayer of defeating. Look for the we won meme in a couple of days.

What fucking strategy? All he did was move his unspeakably horrible mouth and make noises.

Wow, quotes from the GOP Confederacy of Dunces.
Scotty Walker? Seriously? He got “dominated” right out of office.

Well, not surprising…Republicans long ago declared war on Americans that didn’t support them, this is just a more open declaration than ever before.

And coverage of Biden’s address this morning is a sidebar here at TPM. But let’s make sure we give these fuckers a megaphone.

Sounds a whole lot like militant fascism to me. The rebirth of global Nazism? All of these cretins should be ashamed and buried in a hole.

Crackpots like Trump and his followers often make up fictional enemies. We can use that. We need to start suggesting that “the Antifa” has infiltrated the White House, the Secret Service, the military, the DoJ, and the local police, and that they are in regular contact with #BlackLivesMatter, Hillary Clinton, and anyone else. And I for one want to have a crack at sci-fi and invite subversive, left wing aliens. (Scratch that. Subversive, left wing, perverted aliens who can pass as teenage alt.right women.) Really, it’s time for some disinformation. These people don’t handle it well.

“If they were peaceful protesters, there would be no need to use teargas,” the conservative columnist [Marc Thiessen …said on Fox News. “It means they resisted.”
Marc, your Panglossian display of illogic Is deplorable. You are supposed to support your conclusion with evidence. You Turned it around, assuming your conclusion, and justifying it by inserting your assertion in place of evidence.

They want to lock up Antifa, meaning “anti-fascists?”

Just look at Thiessen’s comment. The feds used teargas; therefore the demonstrators had to have been violent. I’d say that’s 100% ass-backwards, but par for the course for the torture fanboy.

Good thing the folks in Boston never resisted anything with a tea party…
Resistance is the essence of our nation. There is nothing that makes cops kings, and when they make illegitimate things like ridiculously early curfews not to curb looting, but to allow them to attack peaceful protesters, there’s almost an obligation to resist those orders.

Wingnuts under President Obama: we have the god-given right to bear the same arms the military has, because god forbid if the government turns their guns on us, we’re gonna need parity! Remember Waco! Ruby Ridge! Jade Helm!
Wingnuts under Trump: Thank God we FINALLY have a president willing to stand up to these goddamn radical protesters. No quarter!
