It would seem that for me, news isn't news any more without the addition of a well informed and slightly unhinged collection of football loving oddballs. We're the AFTV of global events. I actually get my news from VT these days and then follow it up with an actual news source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that SO many of 73m Republican voters agree with what happened is utterly shocking to me. You can have political views and want your party to do well and win, but any right minded person should be shocked and saddened by what happened. This goes way beyond political party lines. American has very deep problems. They are armed to the teeth and are willing to commit atrocities. Hopefully this situation forces lawmakers to clamp down on guns and the militia groups/proud boy types. There needs to be an all out assault on the armed wing of MAGA.

Popular Post maqroll Posted January 7, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) As tragic and sickening as yesterday's event was, Democracy (or what's left of it) rallied to affirm Biden, hours after Osoff's victory in Georgia was called, handing Dems full power. Trump will be removed from office no later than the 20th of this month and the Dems will try to put the pieces back together after 4 years of anarchy. I'm more hopeful today than I have been in 5 years. Edited January 7, 2021 by maqroll 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Mike Pence will now spend the rest of his life looking behind his back, fearful of the psychotic mob he helped nurture through his fealty to Trump. I'm sure there's a Bible verse or two he can turn to for comfort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 If a nation that spends gazillions on it's military complex can't defend one of it's own buildings then you have to question how effective Space Force will be against the sneaky bastards hiding out on Venus. One can only assume Space Force could be destroyed by playing The Beastie Boyzs at full volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they can't explain or justify their beliefs and conspiracies, they end the conversation with this line as if it holds any weight at all. Are you a Q-Anon follower? You would think the time to reveal it would be when you are making applications to judges to get your case into court. You know, then. Or failing that run out all the evidence in court instead of letting a drunk woman have a rant. Rolling out the evidence there and then with all those TV cameras around the world trained on the courtroom. I mean I'm no lawyer but that's when I would have triumphantly rolled out all the great evidence then. And if it was somehow still suppressed, you would surely go to Fox News who I am sure would be absolutely gagging at the bit, completely desperate to run a 2 hour special forensically going through all the photos, all the phone taps and intercepted e-mails. All the great unquestionable evidence which must exist. It absolutely must because Trump has constantly said he's got it and his supporters keep telling us it's about to come out. PLEASE GOD LET'S HAVE IT OUT THEN SO I CAN NOW START TO BELIEVE ITS ALL A CONSPIRACY. Edited January 7, 2021 by sidcow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted January 7, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 A long, but heartfelt and to-the-point Facebook post by an American friend of my own generation. Anyone who has the slightest sympathy for Trump and his moronic followers should read it and hang their heads in shame: Quote My father served three years in World War 2 as a tank commander in Northern Africa and Europe. An uncle, James, whom I never was to know, was killed in World Two. My Uncle Jack served in the Army Air Corps as a navigator and was present on an unbelievable 37 missions over Nazi Germany. These men were decorated for their valor. They all volunteered for service. They all were First Generation sons of two Irish Immigrants who deeply loved America. They were also , what would be described so derisively today, all Liberals. If you had met my grandmother, you would readily see how this wise, former school teacher matriarch gently imbued them with a love of reading. A love of literacy and a respect for the intellect, and an appreciation of other cultures, Different People, Different Languages. They were Literate, intelligent Patriots. They read books. Today, of course, too often Patrotism does Not mean service to others or loving a country that inpires differing thought to thrive. Today "Patriotism" means the ability to be a plastic human bag that contains about 12 refrigerator-magnets. Magnets that say "Radical Liberal" and the like, and boast swastikas and confederate flags. And some boast the Biggest Lie: Silent Majority. The Truth is: I am of the Silent Majority, and we are millions and millions and millions of literate, patrotic, and intelligent people who are constantly browbeat by an execrable, wretched tiny minority. The cowardly lie that is perpetrated through politicians and media is that ANY legitimate legal action that is taken against trump will be "painful for the nation", and will lead to a civil war. From my personal perspective, I will think of My Uncle Jack and I visiting The Capitol together when I was 12. I loved History so much as a child, and I can easily summon an image of my Uncle Jack enjoying a certain wonder and awe that was in my eyes as we toured the citadels of our nation's founding. He basked in it all with fresh eyes. My Uncle Jack was after his WW2 service an Air Force Colonel Special Asst to Curtis LeMay when Strategic Air Command was setting up nuclear bases in West Germany and England. Curtis E. LeMay was The Archetype of virulent right-winger. My Uncle reached a life decision that he could not work with LeMay. My Uncle later in life became a dedicated anti-war worker and dedicated vegan. He began a friendship with Dick Gregory by simply writing an admiring letter to him. And the two corresponded by mail for a decade. Patriots. None of them wave Nazi or confederate flags. And trump's army of patriots? There is none. The cowardly jackals trump dispatched to soil themselves in all their cheap, moronic desecration yesterday, and for the past 4 years, are a tiny minority. We don't even need to discuss but...but...but...the 70 Million voted for him. It is a meangingless statistic. 70 Million Americans once owned razor skates. So? trump has been on TV 24 hours a day for 5 years. Americans love TV and what is on it. Americans love TV much more than Jesus and George Washington combined. Something is popular on TV And then the next day: poof, it is forgotten. 70 Million Americans used to Smoke who Do Not Smoke Today. Not even on TV, where so many stars on dramas and gameshows could be Seen smoking. Smoking is a physical addiction-- where neural receptors cry for nicotine. But Once Smoking was banned from TV, it began to fade fade fade from American Life. trump has no power at all. Only what TV had ceded to him. His cowardly army will disperse quickly now. The best example is plastic opportunist and true bag-of-refrigerator magnets Kelly Loeffler. Even she does not want her career tied to an impotent albatross. She shook the bitch off. And now that one of trump's followers was shot to death, you will not see them in public again. We are not speaking of brave people. No Pettis Bridge people here. Now that physical harm might come to these bums, even when DC Police and National Guard played patty-cake yesterday and offered no resistance to the mob, a trump rioter still somehow managed to eke death out of the experience. No. No martyr's death. Darwin Award. She took an overdose of the trump drug. Tarrio of the Proud Boys won't be able to name a brigade after her, because that dumbass really bad person is so efficient at revolution, he got himself arrested The First Day of the Revolution. Which brings us to Tarrio's co-conspirator. donald j trump for months deliberately and relentlessly incited thugs to cross state lines to riot. Yesterday, we heard and saw the drumming: Four Dead In 'Ol DC. donald j trump is responsible for the deaths and for the physical destruction and damage incurred on our, The People's, national property. He's responsible for all of the injuries to humans and damages to the inanimate. He is responsible for all the overtime moneys spent on D.C. police and city services and for National Guard pay. There should have been, legally, no way that he be allowed to deliberately create violence in the nation's streets. He needs to be investigated for how much money he and his campaign gave to these Anti-American Anarchy groups that made it to DC.How much shadow disbursement. The demented rabble meth-heads that crowded footage most assuredly do not look to have the gas money to make the drive from florida to dc. No indeed. This was a funded operation. All of those groups funding apparatus need to be invesigated. Death and property damage. And he knowingly, deliberately perpetrated this. If this is a Nation of Law, and Not of personality and cultism, donald j trump will be arrested, jailed and prosecuted. And spare me the Biden-esque horseshit that we, as a nation, could not somehow survive..sob sob....poor donald being on trial. That it would be painful ..sob sob... Almost 400,000 Americans are gone forever because of trump's criminal negligence on the Pandemic. Let the Class Action suits begin on that. That will Unify us. Smoking Cigarettes was once more Popular than trump will ever be. Millions of Americans swore ( crave...crave...) that could Not do without it. Poof. One day. Just gone. I walk vast distances in Los Angeles and try to keenly observe and record my surroundings. I see a cigarette smoker every three months. In Santa Monica, 20 years ago, on my walks, I would see a cigarette smoker every 5 minutes. No horseshit is needed now. This country will much more easily endure trump's trial and incarceration than it did even cutting sown on cigarettes. The Trial will Unify like nothing else. All Personality Cults are Self-Destructive at their root. HIs Martyrdom is always a theme in trump's rallies--the Biggest Theme-- inside his strangled, grasping, gasping Bellicosity-- is the incessant Bleating of lil donni and how they're all against him. It is a self-destructive mentation. His " followers" will love him jailed, because they themselves can revel in being crucified with him, and being Re-Born themselves when they shake him off. So no, trump's trial-- trump in jail will not be painful for anyone. Yesterday. Watching The Capitol attacked. That was a million times more painful for this nation. And for my Dad. And for my Uncle Jack. As Dylan Thomas wrote, as London was being bombed by the Nazis: " After the first death, there is no other". 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
