Its just a continuation of the last 4 years. If you stand for nothing you can stand for anything. Create the smallest sliver of space/doubt and then use it to claim your principles are on the side of righteousness.

facialimpediment posted:https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1347363088341864448 I hope someone sets up a website that collects where all these top level rear end holes end up so that there can in fact be wide spread protests and boycotts of where-ever they end up until they do some sort of act of contrition. Something like public flogging, or giving up the vast majority of their wealth and possessions to the public good. I know it won't happen, but drat it I need the people that helped enable all this poo poo to be pariahs. A shame that such a website would probably be opened up to harassment claims or something.

oh, fun tidbit from the end of that pipe bomb article:quote:Another reason for the security failure was the delayed deployment of the DC National Guard, which President Trump reportedly resisted. Another cause of the delay not previously reported is that the DC National Guard lacked riot gear, because much of it was in the possession of active-duty military personnel. It had been lent to them this summer as part of Trump’s controversial plans to deploy active-duty military to subdue protests, according to a current law enforcement official familiar with the matter Army gonna army.

I've said it before, but the fact that police unions elect the very worst to represent them tells you everything you need to know about cops. In this case, Chicago PD doesn't think that assaulting the Capitol should be illegal: https://twitter.com/ChipMitchell1/status/1347207462097715200

Thanks for the links. I really doubt there is anyone selling union flags that's also not selling treason rags. Best I can hope for is that they really are in it for the history and not massively racist.

In this case, Chicago PD doesn't think that assaulting the Capitol should be illegal: I was gonna post this earlier, I feel like this dude sums up the general feeling of law enforcement (hierarchy in particular); they don't see it as an issue because they are/agree with the chuds. It's not anti-police or minorities protesting, so it's just good ol boys will be boys, whatareyagonnado. Not that this is news to anyone here but this dude is basically outright saying it.

What about confront elected officials? I'm reluctant to broadly condemn the actions as I think there's room there. Specific stuff like a confederate flag, looking for hostages, or otherwise trying to hurt people is easy.

I really want to understand the psychology of these people. The only thing I can think of that overlaps both with "the cruelty is the point" and people like this cow-eyed yokel justifying their thrillseeking as patriotism ... is boredom. And boredom itself is complicated. Instead of prison sentences, put 'em on WPA crews or something. quote:MIDLAND, Texas (KOSA) - Midlander Jenny Cudd says she’s gotten seven death threats at her business since she participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. https://twitter.com/Cleavon_MD/status/1347334743323394048

Arrests are starting to happen, lots of people being processed, a bunch of apology videos posted by chuds on twitter, multiple cabinet resignations, and literally zero people backing Donnie, leading to the halfassed concession video. Momentum building for another impeachment, demands from Pelosi/Schumer for Pence to exercise the 25th (which won't happen), and Donnie's being abandoned en masse by basically everyone in Washington.

These idiots make me feel smart in comparison, maybe that's why I love it so much. The Animaniacs thing in the cool zone thread was just wonderful, made my goddamn week. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely situation, but it's just so goddamn delightful to see the twitter posts like, why is the fbi calling me? Just delicious, sweeter than any dessert I could possibly make.

Also the president’s concession still just said they had an amazing first term, won the election, would continue the maga fight, and “an orderly transition” would take place. So room for interpretation still.

All Biden has to do is say "You know what, I don't need this ~grand spectacle~ of an inauguration in front of the Capitol. Not after what just happened. We'll hold a small televised ceremony *somewhere*, and once it's done, I'll get to work for the American people." But NO. IT'S JOEY'S TURN!
