The Morning Report — 10/4/22

Good morning kids. Tuesday and, SURPRISE! It's October surprise time! With five weeks to go until the midterms, and Herschel Walker by all indications in prime position to beat the wife-beating Warlock Warnock by, at a minimum, enough of a clear margin to beat the cheat if not deliver an ass-kicking, someone comes out of the woodwork to slime him, claiming that Walker, who is ostensibly pro-life, paid for some random dame to have an abortion way back when.

Let me state four things categorically and for the record:

ONE, this is no doubt a ham-fisted, pathetic, bullshit claim that reeks to high Heaven of desperation. If it were true, it would have come out ages ago, probably in the immediate wake of the Dobbs decision that effectively overturned Roe v. Wade. The fact that it didn't, and the fact that every Democrat that is facing disaster or has what was considered a safe seat actually in play for our side, is now running on this issue shows how absolutely bereft they are of a real record, let alone sane policies, to run on. The ruination of our economy and society does not make for a winning platform, especially in the wake of the ruination.

TWO, abortion is now clearly not a winning issue for Democrats with a majority of the American electorate. The latter, to greater or lesser extents is unambiguously in favor of at a minimum some restrictions on pre-natal infanticide, not to mention post-natal infanticide.

THREE: Mehmet Oz, despite his baggage of being a dual citizen as well as an Oprah taint is minimally within striking distance of "Lumpy" Fetterman and quite possibly positioned to pull off a win, so it's kind of shocking that Lumpy's subcutaneous satellite that's marginally smaller than the Death Star has yet to step forward and announce having its exhaust port penetrated by Oz's Turkish delight against its will a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

As for Ron Johnson, I don't think Mandela Barnes (a warmed over Huey Newton retread without the leather jacket and beret), even in a state whose capital was and remains an epicenter of the "progressive" cancer that has laid us low, has a shot. Of course, considering what happened in 2020 especially in PA, GA and WI, I'm not going to say a freaking thing more until every last vote from every last '76 Buick LeSabre trunk is counted — a process that takes months — and our team remains on top.

It is hateful to me beyond my capacity to express it to even have to acknowledge that the caveat of having enough votes to beat the cheat is something that just comes with the territory and business as usual in the United States of America. Then again, this is no longer the United States of America and so many other things are so equally hateful that it's a miracle my head has yet to explode. Or that I haven't been arrested for acting upon some of the thoughts that go through my head every friggin' evening and morning as I ponder the headlines.

Finally, number FOUR: Assuming for just a nano-second that there is even a scintilla of truth to the accusation against Walker — hell, even assuming it's 100% true . . .

I. DO. NOT. GIVE. A. FLYING. FUCK.

Even if it were proven that Walker or any candidate, especially one that is not just a GOPe phony "con"-federate, did something even worse than that, all of us as American-Americans now face an existential threat to our personal liberty and safety so dangerous and so direct that any skeleton from said candidate's past would be an irrelevancy.

Psaki-psircling back to the pondering of headlines and other dystopian American scenarios, here are a couple that should make the blood get up to a slow simmer. First, Veep Throat Kamala Harris, whose sole political talent lies in having ingested a supertanker-sized quantity of semen faster than a KC-135 can pump it into the mains of a B-52, might be preternaturally a glittering jewel of vapidity, but she's not stupid. She's an ugly, in your face racist:

“I know we are all thinking about the families in Florida and Puerto Rico with [Hurricane] Fiona and what we need to do to help them in terms of an immediate response and aid,” Vice President Harris said at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum on September 30th. “We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity. Understanding not everyone starts out at the same place, and if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities.”
Sadanand Dhume, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, delivered this derisive retort: “If a hurricane hits a state, we should expect the government to help all those affected: black, brown white, purple, green. And there’s no such thing as ‘communities of color.’ Real people don’t talk like this.”
The Biden [junta] talks just like this. Indeed, [alleged] Vice President Harris’ referral to “equity” as the guiding policy directing hurricane relief assistance follows President Biden’s Executive Order 13985 that he issued on his first day in office, entitled “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.”
In keeping with this executive order, the first stated goal of the Biden [junta's] Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is supposed to dispense federal aid equally to anyone in need because of a natural disaster, is all about instilling equity as its foundation. This requires, according to FEMA’s website, concentrating on “underserved communities” and “specific identity groups.”
In short, the Biden [junta's] concept of “equity” means giving priority to people collectively based on group identity over individuals who are in desperate need of assistance but have the wrong skin color or are considered too rich.

Aside from the racialism aspect, which is horrendous enough, remember that Florida and its governor are the political nemeses of the Junta. And since the citizenry of that state voted against them by voting DeSantis and Republicans in, they are, in the Junta's eyes worthy of pain, suffering and death. The calculus is also to try and make Florida's non-white citizens equate the suffering in the wake of a hurricane as that of intentional racist policies direct from DeSantis' desk in Tallahassee. Fortunately, I have seen anecdotal stories of black and Latino Floridians rejecting that narrative.

No surprise that mop-top Malveaux-munching mouthpiece Karine Jean-Pierre had to walk Harris' statement back:

“That is not what the vice president said,” Jean-Pierre said. “The vice president was clearly talking about long-term investment, not FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Aid] for hurricane response efforts. The vice president and the president have been clear that the federal government has been and will continue to be there for all Americans recovering from these devastating storms as we’re seeing the president and first lady do today and will see them do clearly in Florida on Wednesday.”
“We are committed to quickly getting resources to all communities impacted, period,” she continued. “Full stop. But we also note that some people, particularly of lower income, have a hard time accessing that help. That’s why this administration has also made it a priority to remove barriers and ensure that everyone, regardless of their zip code, and that’s what she was talking about.”

Aside from the laughable attempt to insist Harris didn't say what she said, notice what Jean-Pierre did say emphasis mine, which translates directly from Jive as "America is an irredeemably racist, white supremacist nation, and Florida is the epicenter of it." Some "walk-back." I speak Jive, and I will make my certification from Ibram X. Krement available later.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Robert Spencer reports a tale of woe about a true "freedom fighter":

Urooj Rahman is an attorney, not a bartender, but she knows her cocktails. She tossed a Molotov cocktail at an NYPD cruiser during the 2020 George Floyd riots in New York City. But now, in asking for a light sentence, she is serving up a different cocktail: vodka with a dash of Islamophobia. And really, it’s the Islamophobia that gives it its flavor.
According to court filings, Rahman is asking for a light sentence because, she says, she was very drunk on vodka on the night that she firebombed the police car, and making matters even worse, she is dealing with all kinds of “unprocessed trauma.” A good deal of it, her attorneys claim, stems from being taunted as a Muslim after 9/11. Vodka-and-Islamophobia is not as popular as vodka-and-tonic, but you never know, it might catch on.
Rahman’s lawyers say she was “numb, disassociated, and inebriated” back in May 2020 when she was spotted in the front passenger seat of her friend and getaway driver Colinford Mattis’ SUV, holding a Palestinian scarf over her face with one hand and a Molotov cocktail in the other. Soon after that, she threw the firebomb into a New York City police car, but don’t you see, it was all about racism: “Tossing the Molotov cocktail was a way of expressing anger at those police officers around the country for whom Black lives did not matter,” her attorneys claim. “It was an act of protest intended to avoid exposing others to harm.”
How someone can throw a bottle filled with gasoline and topped with a burning rag into someone else’s car and then claim it was done in order to “avoid exposing others to harm” is beyond me, but then again, I haven’t suffered the way Urooj Rahman has. The court filing claims that “at 11, when the World Trade Center was attacked, Urooj experienced the harassment that was all too common for Muslims living in the city. She was called names (‘ugly Indian,’ ‘hairy monkey") and begged her mother not to wear her hijab on the street.” A clinical psychologist and “leading expert on trauma,” Dr. Leslie Lebowitz, claims that this “compendium of adversity” left the young adult Urooj Rahman “without the ability to adequately manage and regulate her feelings” as well as “subject to incapacitating depression, panic and uncontrollable obsessional thinking. . .”
. . . But don’t you see? Rahman was teased as a child. Probably every eleven-year-old on the planet can say much the same thing, and few have thrown Molotov cocktails into police cars. But since Rahman’s was taunted in an “Islamophobic” manner, and had some rough relationships on top of that (another thing that can be said about millions, if not billions, of people), we are supposed to believe that her suffering was so acute, so unique, that she deserves to suffer no penalty for her crime.
And above all, “Rahman’s attorneys also say their client’s ‘commitment to social justice’ should earn her a more lenient sentence.” Ah, yes, of course! She’s a good Leftist! Let her go! She was working on the side of the angels, and is a victim of “Islamophobia”! It’s an absurd defense, but it’s a canny one: In today’s overheated political climate, if she gets the right (that is, the Left) judge, Urooj Rahman’s new cocktail will work just fine, and she will be out on the streets and back working for “social justice” in no time.

Lastly, the thug terrorist who mowed down predominantly white people at a Waukesha Christmas parade is "represent'n" himself in court.

Despite having a fool for a client, how much you want to bet that he gets off with at most a wrist-slap? Ditto for the Molotov cocktail throwers.

Like I said, this is America 2022 and junta enforcers getting away with political terrorism is just like overcoming the steal: business as usual.

13 As for Ron Johnson, I don't think Mandela Barnes (a warmed over Huey Newton retread without the leather jacket and beret), even in a state whose capital was and remains an epicenter of the "progressive" cancer that has laid us low, has a shot.

Barnes has some good ads out there, though.

19 Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long for the fake accusations against Walker to come out.

And no, I don't give a fuck either. To hell with democrats and GOPe (But I repeat myself) demanding that every single candidate on our side be so pure that even God can't find a flaw. Ted Kennedy murdered a woman, Robert Byrd was a Klan member, FDR put people in concentration camps. And they are still heroes for the left.

It is not even so pure that there is no flaw- they have to toe the line as articulated by the NTers and GOPe elite (BIRM) or they will be disowned. If they toe the line, they will be defended and get money, if they do not, then they will be calls to question them on the shit the left digs up or creates whole cloth.

I do disagree with the chick that says we should expect the government to help everyone. The "regardless of color" stuff is correct, but the ship sailed 'round here when we started expecting the government to help. I'm of a mind with Coolidge on this. The government is not your nanny or your guardian angel. It's a necessary evil and we would do well to try, however quixotic that mission may be, to get back to self-sufficiency.

It's annoying that only the left-leaning outlets are jumping on it; but I've been watching something for the last month or so. As Russia's on the ground military operations get worse and worse (and they have been falling apart for at least that long now, which is why Putin announced his mobilization) sites that we normally look to have simply stopped talking about it - no news at all. Even Russian State TV is howling about the battlefield losses. I find that, shockingly, Al Jazeera seems to have the least biased reporting towards either side currently.

Vote for someone else. It doesn't matter, the whole thing is rigged, and if both major candidates are hot garbage, you're not losing anything.

My reckoning is that Fetterman is so uniquely awful that the slim to zero chance that Oz only sucks 99% of the time makes it worth the vote. The only thing holding me back is not wanting to reward what they did to Barnette.

132 . . . someone comes out of the woodwork to slime him, claiming that Walker, who is ostensibly pro-life, paid for some random dame to have an abortion way back when.

Classic case of Democrats/Left using Alinsky Rules for Radicals Rule #4:

"Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."

The Left has used this tactic for decades. Find an "imperfection" (real or made up) in a conservative/Republican candidate and state that that "imperfection" makes him/her a hypocrite and not fit for office.

And sadly, the Republican base and many conservatives have been falling for this for decades. I agree with Clay Travis when he stated yesterday on Twitter that it does not matter if a politician is an imperfect person, it matters that they serve the people well. There is no better example than Donald Trump. He is a flawed person personally in many ways, but he governed and pushed policies that conservatives have wanted for decades. That is what should matter.

First, lower-income people, especially people of color, often have difficulty meeting the paperwork requirements that are mandatory for assistance demands. Whether it's ID (also an issue in voting), proof of residency, finding a copy of the residential lease agreement, utility bills, etc., these are people that often struggle with paperwork and paperwork retention, limiting their access to critical aid services.

Then there is the issue of transportation. Getting from home to a place they can get help is challenging in good conditions and often impossible in the wake of disaster. Buses aren't running consistently, taxicabs and ride share services engage in price gouging, fewer neighbors who might have a car are nearby. All the issues that they contend with on a sunny day are compounded on a cloudy day.

The list goes on.

Same with Joe Biden back in 2020. It was obvious he should have retired from not just politics, but from the public. He should have been at home with special care for his obvious mental and health decline.

I said back then and still believe now that the fact that the Left has drugged him up all this time and used a mentally deficient and health-deficient person in order to gain and keep power shows just how evil they are. And how they will do anything for power. And if they think so little of and use their family members like that, it's easy to realize they think even less of anyone else.

Yep. He denies it, but even if the story is true, so what? He can't force anybody to have an abortion, so she must have been the one who wanted it. The fact that he agreed to pay for it just shows that he was being responsible and respecting the woman's choice, and isn't that what the left wants men to do?

The roots of conservatism only bear good fruit if they're growing in the unique soil of enlightenment liberalism. Apply the framework of conservatism to the post-liberal shitshow that the west has become, and you're left with lantern jawed dipshits praising the Hammeneggers and hawking snake oil to the masses.

224 We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity.

You cannot have both! Equality gives everyone a fighting chance. Equity outlaws chance and picks winners and losers.

They have altered the word "equality" to mean that everyone ends up with equal stuff. Except Party members end up more equal than others.

So they use the mechanism of "Equity" to achieve a hypothetical feeling of equality. Sort of like how they use Communism to achieve the feeling of socialism.

239 Yep. He denies it, but even if the story is true, so what? He can't force anybody to have an abortion, so she must have been the one who wanted it. The fact that he agreed to pay for it just shows that he was being responsible and respecting the woman's choice, and isn't that what the left wants men to do?

Or even if the story is true, and it was his idea, and he wanted it, and he paid for it, that doesn't mean that sometime afterward he said to himself, "oh, shit. What have I done? This is evil. This was the wrong thing to do. Never again. Never."

I personally know people for whom that was the exact progression.

Of course it's binary, if Fetterman wins then it's more likely than not that the Donks maintain control of the Senate and that means a lot of horrible shcize will be vomited forth by the Donks.

As I've noted, I've lived in NYC most of my life and have had to vote for a lot of bad GOP candidates, Oz is not a bad candidate by most standards so the reticence at voting for him by those ostensibly on the right is bewildering.

Fetterman can do a hell of a lot of damage to all of us if he's in the Senate. That's the motivation. McConnell's old, he'll die eventually. We all know that's the only "plan" and we've often talked here as to why. So deal with it, that has nothing to do with how terrible for all of us Fettermen would be.

well, I don't know that DeSantis had Alinsky in mind (I doubt it), but yes, it is a good tactic. And nope, I'm not big on leftists who are Atheists Communists talking about Christianity. One of the main points of Christianity-as far as I read the NT-is that Christians are not "wholly Holy". They are striving after holiness-which is only achievable through the indwelling Holy Spirit. So that they don't live up to their values sometime is hardly a surprise. Even the Saints as defined by the RCC were often talking about their sinfulness.

Democrats are losing, so they will do anything, tell any story, repeat any rumor, arrest anyone, to suppress GOP turnout.

Oz may be a lousy candidate. He carries foreign citizenship. He's married to an extremely wealthy wife.

But do not let any of this stop Republicans from getting out to vote for Oz, and Mastriano (who is being outspent something like 20 to 1). Vote.

=========

The argument is that the fight to supplant the GOPe as the power center of the party with someone at least more MAGA friendly is a long, slow one. He's been in power for a decade, and he's consolidated power in that time, but he's not going to live forever. When he does go away (death, retirement, alien abduction), you want the Senate to be as prepared to move on in the right direction as possible.

That's not really a passive thing, though. The fight between Trump and Mitch is public and ongoing. Mitch is steadily losing power and influence within the Senate caucus as Trump gains power. Mitch doesn't seem like he's trying to build out his power but retrench given his lessened position. Will the 2023 Congress be disappointing? Not if you know what you're getting, but it's not going to be proactive on agenda items we want. That doesn't mean that the election of 2022 won't have an effect on the Congress of 2025.

Oz is more likely to be a Trump loyalist than a Mitch one since Trump got him over the line of the primary while Mitch fought him.

Until last week, I'd never seen a photo of Fetterman. I just assumed it was the usual Horde tactic (which I enthusiastically practice) of just savaging a guy's looks because he's an all-around motherfucker, and deserves it.

No. Wrong. The guy is grotesque. Like, hard to look at. Not in the Lightfoot sense. He's discernibly human. But a very, very ugly human. And one whose doltishness is a physical manifestation. He actually looks stupid, which is pretty rare. Then, of course, there's that second Fetterman growing out of his neck.

I mean, the guy is a circus freak. He makes Quasimodo look handsome. How does he have a political career? Freakin' PA, man.

328 'Inflation is caused by government spending'...and other myths. A relative insisted that inflation was caused - not by greedy corprat price-gouging, but rather by government spending.

Yea well THAT just does not compute at all. CorpRATS are greedy, conniving, profit-at-any-cost sociopathic institutions. They are the Devil himself incorporated. They are not innocent bystanders in this.

Oil down to 78.50 today, but local gas at over $4.00. Not because of government spending, or supply and demand, or from rising price of commodities. Because the oil and gas industry are racking up their profits.

Relatives complained about that too! "that damn Biden cut off drilling for oil and now our gas prices are high!" He halted one pipeline, any oil from it would have taken years to come to market so -- NO. Same with any other drilling projects or leases.

Government spending doesn't cause inflation. But government printing of money most certainly does. Trump issued ALOT of money. Probably the biggest money dump in history. He almost double the money supply in 2020 and 2021.

And yet another example of conservatives getting screwed out of a valid choice on the ballot thanks to the Dems and GOPe making sure anyone of quality doesn't make it past the primaries. They must love seeing the infighting here and elsewhere, where we are forced to get behind a fake conservative, fake Pennsylvanian like OZ because the alternative is much, much MUCH worse.

That's why asset backed currencies became unmanageable once the game was figured out. A country would need to have enough physical assets to cover both outstanding hard currency and debts(and governments go into a lot of debt).

394 With regards to McConnell... he's not up for reelection until 2026 IIRC. There's speculation he won't run again, especially if Trump is in the White House at that time. If not, he may give it another go. Whether he dies in office is debatable, but he knows no other life other than grifting in the Senate.

It's one of the reasons you see so many really old farts like him, Pelosi, etc. who seem to hang around way past their expiration date.

399 2) Oh! Look! Some sanity! Yes, the fed printed lots of cash under Trump. They've been printing lots of cash forever. They didn't stop until well into Biden's presidency, though. Also the government spending based on debt creates new money to throw into the system at the same time. So, yes, debt fueled govt spending does increase the money supply.

I wouldn't vote for Crenshaw in the House, for example, because we don't need him and he is actually demonstrably worse than Oz. What does always come back is that almost nobody does anything in the primary but complain and then complain more when the choices we get aren't great.

Corporations are always, always greedy (except when they divert funds from profit making centers to create DEI organizations within their structure).

Why is it that corporations were unable to take these massive profits under Trump? Did they fear his tyrannical hand if they made him look bad?

I guess the only answer is this: If you want corporations to make less money, then you must vote for Trump. Biden is too weak to make them fear.

People have it to honor their immigrant parents or grandparents, or they have it for work reasons. Good Americans, all of them.

429 The Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament, has ratified unification treaties with Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics and Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions. The treaties were signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the four former Ukrainian regions on Friday last week. They were certified as lawful by the Constitutional Court over the weekend and ratified by the State Duma, the lower house of the Parliament, on Monday. The latest step in the process of accepting the four regions as new parts of Russia was approved in an unanimous vote. The Russian constitution will need to be amended for the accession to be finalized.

De Facto and De Jure are a thing in international law. Modern international law distinguishes between the two and what matters is De Facto gives you control; De Jure means other nations actually recognize your claim. Look at disputed borders in Israel, Cyprus, China, etc. Even more so on economic zones allowed under the Law of the Sea.

Russia can declare all it wants but what matters is whether other nations accept it. In the case of Ukraine, I doubt that Russian declarations matter much. So then comes the question as to whether Russia can retain de facto control (and I seriously doubt tactical nukes will be used--the Russian army is simply not trained enough to work in that atmosphere and it will get massive condemnation from even erstwhile allies like China, India, etc.

Read up on what voter integrity groups are finding out about voter registration records. Basically, nationwide, voting rolls have been consistently padded with non-existent, illegal (felons/non citizens/mentally ill), dead, date of birth rivaling Methuselah, illegal characters, moved out of jurisdiction, voting in two states, and so on.

Analysts used to figure about a 5 percent fraud rate or so. My guess is that is may be well over 10 to as much as 20 in some of the mail ballot states. Floaters (as in floating voters) came about as during the 1830's to 1900's, these liquored up voters would be transported across polling places to vote again and again--hence the vote early and often. What is notable is that Republicans in control of states simply refuse to clean up voting rolls too which makes it likely that they are involved as well, particularly in primaries.

Doesn't have much to do with WEF or the West. Borders have the potential to be explosive in most parts of the World as everybody and their dog has a grudge and a claim on land that some other country has. Look at how long and how violent the border disputes are around Israel. UN peacekeepers have been in places like Cyprus for decades with no sign of leaving. India has clashes with China at the border. Once you depart from the Treaty of Westphalia, you have troubles as no border is recognized anymore.

Same as the US, if you blow up the rule of law as a dispute mechanism, then you have to use direct coercion almost forever.

447 A stolen election is stolen from everyone.

Yes it is. One of the biggest causes of internal dissension and civil wars (cold and hot) is from stolen elections. Leftists believe like Erdogan apparently said--elections are like a bus stop--when you win, you get off the bus. Doesn't work that way and if you stop up fair redress of grievances--they will come out in other ways.

448 Speaking of borders, Ohio and Michigan once had a border dispute. Michigan ended up with the U.P. while Ohio ended up with basically Toledo. Future Wisconsin got screwed.

449 Speaking of the Left's thugs attack on us. What ever happened to the "Security" for the Reporter in Colorado that drew a 9MM vs Bear Spray and killed the Trump supporter? Did he go to trial, convicted, or cut loose.

450 I haven't been following the PA races closely and based upon this thread I am glad I haven't. We are in deadly serious times and half the electorate seems to be committed to voting for profoundly unserious people.

Fun fact, Arizona and California nearly came to blows over the Colorado river water rights in the early 1934.

Cut lose as the DA argued that the auntiefa was engaged in self defense against the unperson.

453 JJ, thanks for your usual excellent presentation of information necessary for survival. I have to ask, tho', if we're not becoming inured to the incessant daily drumbeat of Bad Shit Coming (and/or happening) to the point of not being as attentive as we need to be. The Communists know that repetition over time of the same information and tactics produces mental numbness, which is why they use it. It's our job to be aware of what they're doing so that we don't become complacent - and, therefore, careless. That. Loses. Elections.

454 Having recently visited GA, I was surprised how ugly the lead up to the up & coming GA midterm election was. Damn, I thought other states were 'street fighters' when it comes to politics, but Warnock/Abrams must have a boatload of $ behind them and are blessed with absolute gall not to let go or give in ever.

Another thing is the Illinois' abortion law which also provides that if you're under 18, a clinic is not required by law to contact a parent or legal guardian if you are seeking abortion care services. Who you tell about your abortion is entirely up to you. (I think that's law as of sometime in June this year.)

That is horrible policy, and I also suspect there could be more behind it such as concealing the number and nature of abortions being provided to (or intended for) non-citizen females flowing over the unchecked borders and also through the wide open 'immigration system' and into this nation. Cheap labor in particular wanted but not needy offspring.

456 One, freaking word has done more of the devil's work to paint legitimate protest as Insurrection (TM) than any other. That word is "overturn."

This focus-grouped-in-hell piece of lying language has been incessantly and falsely repeated in every story, as in: "...gathered on January 6th seeking to overturn the election."

I would venture that not ONE person in the crowd or Capitol on January 6th thought they were there to "overturn" an election.

Rather, the entire point was that the election, if invalid for any number of reasons, should not be certified. And they were there to protest the fact that this was not happening and to urge lawmakers to do everything in their power to invoke the Electoral College act, or refuse to certify, unless and until the actual, lawful results were sorted out.

Yet every and I mean every freaking story about January 6th trials, etc etc is about x person or y group who sought to "overturn the election."

457 Firebomber NYC lawyer girl: If you were as inebriated as you said you were, how were you able to:
1) Light the Molotov cocktail?
2) Get it into the window of the police car?

All bullshit. She needs to be sentenced long and hard, but in liberal NY, it won't happen.

459 This administration, indeed the whole Lefties & Dems hangers-oners, continue to speak with such utter contempt of non-whites that I cannot fathom how/why they continue to receive such high non-white votes? According to these people, the non-white community in America have to be the stupidest, most incompetent of people across the entire world.

Throughout the rest of the world non-whites are fully capable of governance, of obtaining IDs, of managing affairs and systems all without the help of whitey. It is only in America that these very same folks are so massively clueless as to not be able to do squat without a white caretaker.

The CRT gang call this a sad legacy of the historic racism which founded America. Yet when I was born I knew exactly as much as did/does any POC.
