A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]

[Brisketexan 104,800]

Thankfully there's a Republican civil war going on right now.  Well, it's turning into a Republican vs Trumpkins civil war, and it's going to be a messy divorce.

It won’t be. The old Republicans have already lost. This is just their Battle of the Bulge, a last dying gasp of a side that has long-since been defeated.

[RomaVicta 29,847]

When I was watching the video of the policeman being crushed in the door as the invaders were doing a rhythmic heave-ho to break it down, I kept thinking he should pull his weapon and shoot the guy pulling on his mask. As his suffering continued, I thought that the other police should do the same: pull their weapons, fire warning shots, and then fire into the attackers. Maybe shoot low if it's an option.

They would have been justified. Then what? Would it have been better to clear the mob in a hail of gunfire rather than have it play out the way it did. I'm truly wondering.

As it happened, it has taken days to discern how much more dangerous that crowd was than it first appeared when all we saw was a wandering mob of idiots taking selfies. Even so, there is no question of who the malefactors were and the death toll is as low as one could expect.

If there had been gunfire killing and wounding the mob, what happens then? We are a stupid country. Would we focus on police over-reaction and, in that argument, lose sight of how far-reaching and intentional this invasion was? We might actually be sidetracked on a detail rather than the whole picture. I'll use the example of school shootings which exclusively slide into arguments about gun laws while ignoring other important aspects like mental health and our murderous culture (we're always number one among democracies! Bigly!)

Consider the optics of a fusilade in the Capitol with screaming victims. The sound. The shots heard 'round the world as a gun fight breaks out at the seat of American government. We would be defined, likely forever, as gun-crazed, violent, and crazy. And constantly self-congratulatory about it.

These times are unique to history. Immediate communication of any and all information streaming through myriad media with no filter for truth. Middle-age adherence to cult beliefs melded to wide sharing of same. Q Anon, what took you so long? Pizzagate is the modern equivalent of plague era Europeans accusing the Jews of poisoning the wells (which, by the way, the Jews also drank from) to bring on the disease.

Id-ee-ittt world.

You are both right and wrong. How’s that for a both sides? 

You are right that we are dealing with terrorists. The definition fits. However the right wing white trash domestic terrorist brigade that calls its MAGA has gone too far this time and is not strong enough nor sophisticated enough to accomplish what it wants. The reason they were able to storm the capitol is because trump let them and wanted it to happen. Trumps terror reign will end in a few days and with it will end the ability of the white trash terrorists to do jack shit.

You are wrong that we are in big trouble. Once trump is gone the full weight of the federal government will shift and be unleashed on these people and even though traitors like Cruz and Rawley won’t support it, the assault on the white trash maga terrorists will be supported by the full weight of corporate America, the defense industry and the American military, and oh yeah, 60 percent of the country.

The terrorists are right about one thing. A storm is coming. Just not the one they expect.

In America today and once Trump is gone and the pandemic has hopefully subsided, you can either take up arms against the country in defense of the orange god, or you can go to Six Flags and Applebee’s on the way home while bitching on Twitter on your iPhone. 99.9 percent of MAGA will choose the latter when given a choice. The rest will be dealt with.

The MAGA types, not the mentally ill Qanon types mind you, but the everyday MAGA types, they are simply not hungry enough to take their little revolution to any kind of conclusion.  They are going to suddenly remember they have other things they need to do.  They have their homes, their jobs, as you say they want to hit up Applebees, want to get in their twitter of Facebook posts, want to take in the grandkids soccer game or there's some shows they want to watch on Netflix or whatever.

The MAGA types are just not hungry enough to risk it all for Trump.

Hell, we saw this just under a year ago, when these people talked about being prepared for the apocalypse, but covid hit, and they couldn't go a few weeks without Chili's or SuperCuts.  People who claimed to be prepped for the end times couldn't handle waiting in a 15-minute line at Walmart, or wearing a piece of fabric, or being asked to wash their hands.  And apparently those motherfuckers were ready for the end times, but hadn't bothered stocking up on toilet paper.

And for all of the body armor they were wearing on Wednesday, they weren't actually prepare to mix things up with police - that was one of the glaring differences between the MAGA/Qanon crowd, and the antifa/BLM crowd.  The Antifa/BLM crowd come prepared to deal with tear gas and pepper spray, they come with medics.  The Antifa/BLM crowd assume they are going to get tear gassed and pepper sprayed and hit with batons.

If y’all don’t think that we are already in the midst of a protracted civil war - which will turn hot more times than we should be comfortable with - you haven’t been paying attention.

This is an insane, religiously fanatical terrorist movement. They believe in things more fantastical - and much more dangerous - than any religion does. There are tens of millions of them. And they are fanatically dedicated to their orange god.

We are in deep, deep trouble. It is going to get worse. Much worse.

Blunt has a decision to make and he made it.  Does he want to get re-elected to the Senate.  His constituents in Missouri won't elect him if goes against Trump.  He chose his job over his country.  Many others are doing the same.  Do I blame him/them for being weak assed bitches?  Yes.  Do I find more blame on the actual people in his state of Missouri that will vote him out or primary him that are the reason he is acting like a coward?  Yes again.  The country can't be fixed until all of these people are fixed and sadly I don't see that as viable at this point.

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

Holy hell, do any of these idiots have children? That was the lesson we taught ours: action have consequences. Nothing worse than watching a parent try and negotiate with a toddler. Little miniature terrorists they are. You love em with all your heart, but when they act out in age appropriate ways, it's imperative that you, the parent, set the course for resolution and you don't blink. Would you allow your two year old to play with matches a second time after they burned the living room carpet?

And the millions of other MAGA types are watching the DC MAGAs being arrested, being doxxed, losing their jobs, having their businesses impacted, etc.

I look at all of the MAGA types I personally know, and for all of their bluster on Facebook, if you told them "you have a choice, show your support and go storm some Capitol building, go attack some legislators, and risk being arrested and going to jail and losing your jobs, with a felony or two on your record, or stay home and bitch on Facebook", they will choose Facebook every time.

Stripe quit processing donations on Trump's websites

Quote

Stripe Inc. will no longer process payments for President Trump’s campaign website following last week’s riot at the Capitol, according to people familiar with the matter.

The financial-technology company handles card payments for millions of online businesses and e-commerce platforms, including Mr. Trump’s campaign website and online fundraising apparatus. Stripe is cutting off the president’s campaign account for violating its policies against encouraging violence, the people said.

I just did a little rooting around. This is the creator's blog apparently? Goldwater saw this coming, but *sigh* the *WASC FASHY people seem very much at home there. I forgot that Gab got deplatformed due to the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter, but I recall not knowing what Gab was then either. Just assumed it was a chatroom. This seems a lot more like twitter than I realized.

From the blog:

This is a sample of their tweets. Like a lot of businesses, they scream about twitter, but they use it.

Is the reason they have a frog because of the Pepe frog?

And this seems to be the patriarchal evangelistic nationalistic part. Click on the second tweet to see the full manifesto. They can (and probably will if given the opportunity) pry the 19th Amendment from my cold dead hands.
