So Trump called Tubberville DURING the fucking riot when they were sheltering in place to tell him to delay the vote and add more states. Except the moron called the wrong senator who had to pass his phone to Tommy.

I brought up Mississippi Burning this morning so it seems fitting to close with it this evening: Senator Tommy=Lester

I'm assuming Tuberville's phone isn't secure in any way.  So, Vlad and Sergie in the unmarked van on 14th street got a chuckle out of it.

The second call to Lee came in at 7 p.m. ET from Giuliani. Lee did not answer the call so it went to voicemail. Lee's office confirmed to CNN that the voicemail was intended for Tuberville and the message left from Giuliani was very similar to one that another unnamed GOP senator received. The transcript of that call was published by the conservative outlet The Dispatch as well as the news blog emptywheel.

"Sen. Tuberville? Or I should say Coach Tuberville. This is Rudy Giuliani, the President's lawyer," he said according to to the transcript. 

"I'm calling you because I want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down so we can get these legislatures to get more information to you," Giuliani said, referring to unfounded claims of voter fraud in the presidential election. 

"I know they're reconvening at 8 tonight, but it ... the only strategy we can follow is to object to numerous states and raise issues so that we get ourselves into tomorrow -- ideally until the end of tomorrow." 

Tuberville was unaware that Giuliani had tried to reach him until it was publicly reported, according to the source. 

Tuberville was likely seen by Trump and Giuliani as someone who could help further their cause on Wednesday, as he was among a group of six GOP senators who voted to sustain an objection raised against Arizona's electoral votes, which failed 93-6. 

CNN reported on Wednesday that even after Congress was reconvening that night following the riot, Trump was still urging senators to push ahead with the protest on the certification of Biden as President, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

 

Right I’m supposed to believe they could hear Rudy through all the farting at the other end

The WSJ opinion page going in raw: https://www.wsj.com/articles/bring-the-insurrectionists-to-justice-11610065179?mod=hp_opin_pos_3&fbclid=IwAR3HDWmZtWgVTQxdF7daAgtRKzReAwwV3jp8Ro1pONNILi5W3nwP132pjcA

Quote

How do we deal with all that has happened?

We remember who we are. We are a great nation and a strong one; we have, since our beginning, been a miracle in the political history of man. We have brought much good. We are also in trouble, no point not admitting it.

We regain our confidence. We’ve got through trouble before. We love this place and will keep it. We have a Constitution that’s gotten us this far and will get us further.

We lower the boom. No civilized country can accept or allow what we saw Wednesday with the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol. This was an attack on democracy itself. That is not just a phrase. Rule by the people relies on adherence to law and process. The assault and siege was an attempt to stop the work of democracy by halting the peaceful transfer of presidential power, our crowning glory for more than two centuries.

This was a sin against history.

When something like this happens it tends to be repeated. It is our job to make sure it is not.

And so we should come down like a hammer on all those responsible, moving with brute dispatch against members of the mob and their instigators.

On the rioters: Find them, drag them out of their basements, and bring them to justice. Use all resources, whatever it takes, with focus and speed. We have pictures of half of them; they like to pose. They larked about taking selfies and smiling unashamed smiles as one strolled out with a House podium. They were so arrogant they were quoted by name in news reports. It is our good luck they are idiots. Capitalize on that luck.

Throw the book at them. Make it a book of commentaries on the Constitution. Throw it hard.

......

Now to the devil and his apprentices.

As for the chief instigator, the president of the United States, he should be removed from office by the 25th Amendment or impeachment, whichever is faster. This, with only a week and a half to go, would be a most extraordinary action, but this has been an extraordinary time. Mike Pence is a normal American political figure; he will not have to mount a new government; he appears to be sane; he will in this brief, strange interlude do fine.

The president should be removed for reasons of justice—he urged a crowd to march on Congress, and, when it turned violent, had to be dragged into telling them, equivocally, to go home—and prudence. Mitt Romney had it exactly right: “What happened here . . . was an insurrection, incited by the president of the United States.” As for prudence, Mr. Trump is a sick, bad man and therefore, as president, a dangerous one. He has grown casually bloody-minded, nattering on about force and denouncing even his own vice president as a coward for not supporting unconstitutional measures. No one seems to be certain how Mr. Trump spends his days. He doesn’t bother to do his job. The White House is in meltdown. The only thing that captures his interest is the fact that he lost, which fills him with thoughts of vengeance.

.....

To the devil’s apprentices, Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz. They are clever men, highly educated, well-credentialed, endlessly articulate. They see themselves as leading conservative lights, but in this drama they have proved themselves punks practicing punk politics. They are like people who know the value of nothing, who see no frailty around them, who inherited a great deal—an estate built by the work and wealth of others—and feel no responsibility for maintaining the foundation because pop gave them a strong house, right? They are careless inheritors of a nation, an institution, a party that previous generations built at some cost.

They backed a lie and held out the chimera of some possible Trump victory that couldn’t happen, and hid behind the pretense that they were just trying to be fair to all parties and investigate any suspicions of vote fraud, when what they were really doing was playing—coolly, with lawyerly sophistication—not to the base but to the sickness within the base. They should have stood up and told the truth, that democracy moves forward, that the election was imperfect as all elections are, and more so because of the pandemic rules, which need to be changed, but the fact is the voters of America chose Biden-Harris, not Trump-Pence.

Here’s to you, boys. Did you see the broken glass, the crowd roaming the halls like vandals in late Rome, the staff cowering in locked closets and barricading offices? Look on your mighty works and despair.

The price they will pay is up to their states. But the reputational cost should be harsh and high.

.....

Again, on the president: There have been leaders before who, facing imminent downfall, decide to tear everything down with them. They want to go out surrounded by flames. Hitler, at the end, wanted to blow up Germany, its buildings and bridges. His people had let him down. Now he hated them. They must suffer.

I have resisted Nazi comparisons for five years, for the most part easily. But that is like what is happening here, the same kind of spirit, as the president departs, as he angrily channel-surfs in his bunker.

He is a bad man and not a stable one and he is dangerous. America is not safe in his hands.

It is not too late. Removal of the president would be the prudent move, not the wild one. Get rid of him. Now.

My only problem with that editorial?  It's too soft-handed.

No need for that. Trump records all his calls for Putin anyway. Putin will have to ramp back up his surveillance capacity next month.

“Written by a woman who should be at home not bloviating about men’s stuff” will be the response of a lot of people sadly....

Alternatively, he may engulf us in a civil war before we have the chance to die from the pandemic. That's just good leadership.

We talked before about the Democratic Party needing to be much much more aggressive and speedy about framing the issue. They keep dragging their feet. The Atlantic talks about what the Republicans and Trump supporters put in that vacuum:

 

this is psych 101 - they are the biggest losers in the modern world (not a comment on right/wrong, just it) and therefore the only way to survive is continue to massage up a world around them where they are actually the victims. just basic human stupidity 101. 

I have a semi-acquaintance that I know through some various circles that has been trying to BUY A FUCKING 20 YEAR OLD RUSSIA WOMAN for the last 3 or 4 years and this motherfucker is up in arms because of 'media censorship'. first citation of this great atrocity on him and his people "twitter censoring Trump". as in what just fucking happened.

1 second memory with a fucking 10 cent head. permanent victimhood.

I was going to read all the pages i missed today but this has enraged me too much not to post. 
 

Do these fucking seditious assholes know the words they are singing?  Two days ago they pulled the United States flag down from the Capitol flagpole and ran a Trump flag up it. They draped trump flags all over the place, they wore trump flags on their person. 
and now they congratulate each other for accomplishing nothing and sing that our flag is still there?

id have called them all fucking traitors that should be swinging for what they did, but I have the power of white privilege. That nice black lady probably did the safe thing by keeping quiet.

This is fucking nuts-on accurate.  The only addition being that he be tried and found guilty of sedition or treason, sentenced to death, and spends the rest of his days in a formerly grandiose but long since neglected Uruguayan compound if we don’t stop him and execute his ass first.

Jake Angeli, QAnon Shaman, Regrets Nothing

“No, I’m not worried at all,” said Angeli about being arrested in an interview with VICE News.

A bare-chested man adorned with face paint, a fur coat, and a viking-horned headdress was lording over one of the highest chambers of American political power. The images made clear that Wednesday afternoon’s coup attempt was more than an inept try at a government takeover—it was, self-consciously, a spectacle.

The man dubbed the “QAnon Shaman” is 32-year old Arizona native Jake Angeli, a now-infamous American icon and the face of the would-be QAnon coup who is wanted by law enforcement.

“No, I’m not worried at all,” said Angeli in an interview with VICE News about the prospect of being arrested. He said he had personally reached out to the FBI. “I contacted the FBI,” he said. “The investigator just wanted to know what the scoop was.”

Angeli, who is on his way back home to Arizona, said he has a meeting with agents in the works.

On Wednesday, when a mob of thousands stormed Capitol Hill—among them neo-Nazis, conspiracists and all manner of far-right extremists—Angeli was right in the thick of the invaders who illegally and violently entered Congress, sending senators and congresspeople into hiding. The day's violence would claim the lives of at least five people, including a woman who was shot by police entering Congress and a police officer who was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.

But despite the bloodshed and widespread national shame over this week’s violence in Washington D.C., Angeli regrets nothing.

“I’m quite proud of my participation,” he said. “I’d like to think I was an observer of history being made right in front of me.”

On Thursday night President Trump, who directed his followers’ attempt to prevent Congress from validating the election win of President-elect Joe Biden, finally conceded.

“A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20," said the president in a televised address.

As for Angeli he plans on being in the nation’s capital for President-elect Biden’s inauguration on January 20, which has already been earmarked by far-right extremists as a date of protest.

“I would certainly like to be there,” he said. “I’m making plans to go but everything is in the making.”

According to Rachel Maddow, Mitch McConnell said the Senate wouldn’t consider impeachment of Trump until Jan. 19. 
 

Also, Lisa Murkowski wants Trump to resign and said she might have to reconsider her membership in the Republican Party. Yeah, right, Lisa. You mean you grew a spine since you voted in favor of Trump during his sham impeachment trial a year ago?

To be fair, I think there are two categories of "Trump supporters":

1.  TRUMPWASSENTBYGOD people

2.  QAnon people

It would not surprise me if group 2 was the more aggressive bunch in the riot.  I think that's causing some of the confusion.  

Ummm those are all the same people

I don't think Murkowski is kidding.  Switching parties would give her a lot of influence and she is nothing if not shrewd.  It would give Schumer options when it comes to Manchin's vote on party line votes.
