The usual Cruz hypocrisy, the pot calling the kettle violent. Because the final term of Ted Cruz will feature more nonsense serving corporate energy interests among other contradictions. He’s flailing about today with the latest nominees for DoJ, among other fake outrage. It’s an old tactic, because Cruz loves stirring...

So much thick-headed media activity this past week. OTOH Chuck Todd panders to the center again, or perhaps it's the college drop-out demographic. x A @MeetThePress fail today: talking about anti-Asian violence and racism – without any Asians on the panel. I can’t imagine MTP having a discussion about anti-Black...
For much of the world’s history, we have been ruled by violence and its descendants. Kings won their thrones by having better fighters than their opponents. Transfers of power meant inheriting that throne or by violently seizing it. On those rare occasions where power changed hands non-violently from one living...
Where did Democrats ever get the idea that Donald Trump was looking to incite violence on January 6? It’s absurd! I mean, just ask Ted Cruz. Really, you should ask him. x This you @tedcruz ? pic.twitter.com/hj3bQ9TsL3— Rex Chapman🏇🏼 (@RexChapman) February 12, 2021 < p class=”is-empty-p”> GLENN BECK: “They’re already...
This was amazing. On Gab, Telegram, 8kun, and other racist, alternative media, QAnon groups were salivating over Inauguration Day. They used popcorn emojis and had watch parties to witness the “storm” happening in real-time. This would be when Trump would unleash the military to come in and arrest all the...

Trump puts out a gaslight video that leaves him blameless – who knew? True Scotsmen everywhere. Trump tries to lead your attention away from the homicidal intent of the insurrectionists. .@SpeakerPelosi announces the House Impeachment Vote.

Rep. Louie Gohmert, whose brain is a ‘70s-era Easy-Bake Oven with a burned-out bulb and a decades-old rump roast moldering inside, is wailing about his recent failed court challenge, which argued that Mike Pence gets to unilaterally declare himself vice president for life because they’re all out of off-the-charts insane ideas...
The haze of preemptive violence “to save” rather than take lives is a common rationalization for police dynamic entry or sneak attacks in war. The mediated versions of explanatory narratives tell a more complex interpretive story as the killing of Breonna Taylor has shown. Even after the out-of-court financial settlement and the...
Any Trumpist demonstrations will be easier to monitor and control even if the Proud Boys aren’t wearing their tacky uniforms / kilts. @schwartzbCNBC: Joe Biden's inaugural committee released their fundraising packages to donors. Corporations can give $1 million and for that, they get the “Chair” level. Access includes a private...
The Trump family is to irony as Lennie from Of Mice and Men is to puppies. They’ve killed it more often than Donald Trump’s masturbating-hyena voice has killed my will to live. And this morning, Ivanka Trump — the “smart” one — drove yet another stake into the heart of...
Discovery and disinformation are ahead as RWNJs are looking for reasons to overturn the election, but are perhaps more about grifting. The reality remains that Trump tried to manipulate processing of ballots by installing a crony in USPS, among other things yet to be determined. Attempts to manipulate the system...
Desperate Trumpists might be a bit late to obstruct the polls, assuming that law enforcement actually does their constitutional duty. “…the most effective modern disinformation is defined by what scholars call “censorship through noise”—drowning out the truth with a barrage of lies, distortions, and conspiracy theories designed to confuse and...
Trump is barely even trying to disguise his calls for violence against his political opponents: “It’s just crazy. I saw Shifty Schiff get up yesterday and say this is Russia,” Trump said Tuesday. “He’s a sick man. He is so sick. We went through two and a half years of...
Assuming that there will be some violent provocations, we should encourage all deescalation efforts for election week, regardless of the vote outcomes. We’ve now seen the potential for serious planned electoral violence with the attempts on the governor of Michigan and the mayor of Wichita. We’ve also seen long-term confrontations in...
Trump’s now doing shtick at his virus-fests, focusing on grievance and culture-war nonsense, nearly promising Michiganders that he’ll not visit Minnesota if he loses the election. “Remember that time Trump got Herman Cain killed?” x Trump says “lock them all up” as his fans direct “lock her up!” chants toward...
Several stories are up about what’s going on in Portland OR right now. I’m writing this to highlight what Gov. Kate Brown is saying about it: this is purely and totally a political ploy to terrorize her citizens and turn peaceful protests into an excuse for “political theater” for no...
Made to order for whenever the national guard(s) and whatever federal riot squads are ready in DC to trash BLM demonstrators. Heck, the RWNJs could recruit anti-freemasonists to take this sculpture down, once the NPS puts it back up. Even the RCP has led a street demo against this sculpture....
Why is Faux Fake news not being brought to heel with chanting and pushing the truth of BLM? Fox indeed does carry the water for Trump. They carry the water for racists. Fox promotes division and hate. Protestors missed the mark with CNN and should have protested Fox. They should...
Trump's tear gas photo-op was 'frightening' to authoritarianism experts, who warn that his behavior will only get worse without 'fierce opposition’. One example of the problem for an opposition is that Los Angeles protesters who get arrested will be given a citation with a fine of $1000. x Armed soldiers against...
It’s not Twitter, but it’s something. (As much as I’d like to see Trump’s Twitter account deleted, if he spent his tweetering time attempting to president, we may all regret it. He might actually draw up his long-promised “tremendous” health care plan, which would almost certainly include liberal references to...

That’s fighting words: x Donald trump is scum for fueling racist hate and violence in our country.â Ed Markey (@EdMarkey) June 1, 2020 Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) lashed out at President Trump on Monday, calling him “scum” and accusing him of “fueling” racism and hatred in America amid protests over the death of George Floyd....
“In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized and driven by anarchic and left extremist groups — far left extremist groups — using Antifa-like tactics.” Nope, there are many opportunists taking the weekend to do some violence, for its own sake, because street violence creates other possibilities, to...
Received this e-mail today from Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: Gun violence prevention has always been one of Joe Biden’s top priorities and, according to our supporter surveys, it’s one of Team Joe’s top priorities, too. So today we want to share with you Joe’s Plan for ending our gun violence...
Received this e-mail from U.S. Senator Tina Smith’s (D. MN) re-election campaign: Friend — While the coronavirus relief bill was a good first step in the fight against this outbreak, make no mistake: There is much more work to do. As more Americans stay home, lose their jobs, fall ill,...
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has formally classified the activities of anti-fascist groups (antifa) as “domestic terrorist violence” since early 2016, according to confidential law enforcement documents obtained by Politico and interviews. Federal authorities have reportedly warned state and local officials the antifa has become “increasingly confrontational” in efforts to thwart...
When presidential candidate Julian Castro said “Police violence is also gun violence”, I nearly jumped out my seat. Castro also said” I’m not going to give these police officers another reason to go door-to-door in certain communities because police violence is also gun violence While Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar fought...

Not only did President Donald Trump shut down the federal government by refusing to back down for his ridiculous demand for a border wall border steel slat barrier boondoggle at the expense of American taxpayers, Congress failed to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA): The Violence Against Women Act...
A Presidential candidate who makes flippant jokes about women. Complete with an especially horrific rape joke. Campaigns on explicitly extra-legal solutions to crime problems. Is repudiated by just about everyone else, but the voters keep casting their votes all the same. Is this a diary about how Donald Trump has...
