re: #154 Targetpractice
If anything is going to lead to a civil war in this country, it’s going to be the massive cognitive dissonance that will erupt on Inauguration Day, when Donny is removed from power and the Cult of Q realize that he’s not gonna be destroying his opposition and installing himself as God-Emperor.
I would say the Qcumbers are probably the most likely suspects willing to engage in outright domestic terrorism if Trump loses this November and Biden is sworn in come next January. Not all of them, mind you, but I could easily see the most unhinged among them trying to pull off an Oklahoma City-type incident.

re: #157 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
I got roasted here when Trump won the election and I noted people would need to cut conservative family members and friends out of their life for their own safety.
Since then, between the murderous gun nuts, Nazis, Proud Boys, Q, plague rats, &c I think my statement was vindicated.
I still remember all the lizards who (rightly) predicted in 2017 that Donny would do everything he could to stomp on civil liberties and individual rights being told to calm down and stop being “hysterical.” That if the Repubs in Congress didn’t stop him, then surely the courts would step in and put a stop to it. After all, his Muslim ban had been stopped in the courts, that would surely dissuade him from pushing further.

They’re all going to be convinced that the only way he could lose reelection is that the “Deep State” successfully pulled off its “coup” and Biden’s administration is thus “illegitimate.” I foresee another Branch Dildonian “stand-off” in coming years, if not outright terrorism on federal buildings and employees.

Because the GOP are gaining on the Democrats?
I’m not shocked.
Right wing propaganda is extremely effective. Scaring white folk in suburbs about roaming gangs of dark skinned folk destroying the ‘burbs is going to play big.
Americans will die holding onto their ethno-nationalism-fundamentalism.
The GOP is winning in rural areas because the GOP is playing the victim card about how unfair it is for big states to have so much power.
It’s a direct play to deny one-person one-vote.
The US was doomed by the creation of the Senate.
Then again, the 18th century wasn’t so progressive, outside of the French thinkers who were trying to brush off Christian theocracy.
Sure, a few “founding fathers” were influenced by such, but in the end the reality that emerged is that the fledgling US was going to be compromised from the beginning.
Thread on eviction court in Omaha from July 1. A person sat in the court (which is a tiny room where the asshole judge makes every person sit with no social distancing and no masks because he’s a Republican).
Court opens at 0900, he bars the door at 0910. Doesn’t matter what time of the day your case is.
He requires tenants to show they don’t owe what the landlord claims, which is the opposite of how the law works.
You would not be surprised that every tenant loses.
a man being evicted is asked by the judge if he has evidentiary issues with the argument that he owes rent. tenant says he doesn’t know what that means but his wife died and he hasn’t gotten his covid payments. judge asks again if he has evidentiary concerns, grants the eviction.

Liberals are losing their minds over the Lincoln Project, a political action committee made up of a coalition of Republican strategists and admen who raised $16.8 million this past quarter to continue their mission of making commercials and posts aimed at upsetting Donald Trump.The group has been regularly praised for its “fearlessness” and the “powerful” content of its ads, liberals say, deeming the anti-Trump commercials “MUST WATCH” because “they are driving him crazy.” A recent example used the coronavirus pandemic to make the case that Trump is an existential threat to the country. “If we have another four years of this, will there even be (big dramatic pause) an America?” asks a passably Ronald Reagan-imitating voice actor as somber music plays in the background in the punny “Mourning in America”-titled ad that came out this week. It was celebrated by Politico’s Joanna Weiss as a “masterful nugget of compact filmmaking.”
Yes, Trump is bad. Historically awful. But liberals, I’m begging you, do not turn to these snakes for salvation.
Bill Humphrey @BillHumphreyMA
some of those Lincoln Project guys within the last 10 years were publicly saying things about non-white people that were basically indistinguishable from the Klan’s positions, so it seems very reasonable to draw a line against some kind of tactical coalition with them.Unsurprisingly for a group of former aides to Republican campaigns and party attachés who have run in the same circles for decades, the Lincoln Project is made up of exactly the kind of people who liberals profess to loathe: a collection of right-wing ghouls dominated by angry white men with bigoted, racist views that they’ve seldom been shy about sharing.

5 million people have lost their health insurance as a result of job losses due to CV-19. The fact that Leningrad Lindsey thinks he can score political points by scaring people with the idea that “illegals” will get “free healthcare” says a lot about how deeply invested these assholes are in running as racist an election as they possibly can.

As I said the other day, if you want to support the products of Lincoln Project by liking them and sending them to others, then feel free to do so. They are certainly hitting Trump where it hurts (his ego) and doing a great deal of damage to the party as a whole. But do not give them a single penny of support, or any other “Never Trump” group out there claiming to be against the GOP as a whole, because that money will only end up being used to attack Biden the moment Trump is gone. Every dollar you give these groups is gonna be used to reelect every Repub who survives a purge in November and elect new “true conservatives” who will all swear they were never supportive of Trump’s worst ideas.

Every day that the polls show Biden with 270+ is a day less that Donny has to make a major change that can save his campaign. Right now, he’s got less than 3 months before early voting begins, less than 2 before his party’s convention, and less than one before schools are supposed to “reopen.” And in between is a rising avalanche of bad shit that has come about because of his refusal to lead at a critical time.

They’re going to get bolder as this goes on longer without any real effort to stop it. Right now, it’s just protestors off the street who are grabbed for “graffiti.” But eventually they’re going to decide that’s not enough, that they’re not “doing enough” and so they’re going to branch out. Next is going to be no-knock home raids in order to grab up BLM “leaders,” then warrantless searches of politicians seen as BLM “supporters” or “enablers.” And each step of the way, they’ll portray it as “law enforcement” meant to bring an end to “terrorism.”

re: #13 🌹UOJB!
Ah, convicted pedophile Rolf Harris. Don’t see him around much these days.
Way it’s looking right now, the GOP is gonna end up splitting into two factions in the event that Trump loses in November.
The first are going to be the “True Conservatives,” mostly the Old Guard and some of the new crop from purple/blue districts/states who are going to insist that they never really liked Trump and thought all his ideas were wrong…but only in execution, they still think he was right about things like closing the border or cutting corporate taxes. Their message will be pure old-school Republicanism: “Vote for us and we’ll make all your dreams come true, don’t worry about who will pay for it!”
The second will be the “True Believers,” which will consist mostly of MAGAts and the party’s assorted detritus hailing from red districts/states where the party could run a dead dog and be guaranteed 50.1% of the final vote. These will be assholes like Gym Jordan, GOHMERT!!!, Raul Cruz, and all the other assholes who think Donny can walk on water. They’re gonna take to the air the moment the election is called for Biden screaming that the country’s been betrayed, the election was rife with “fraud,” and the next administration “illegitimate.” They’ll promise to obstruct and oppose everything they can, make as much noise as possible, and dedicate themselves to keeping every “accomplishment” of Trump’s intact for years to come.

Nah, they’ll say he went “too far” by which they’ll mean that he tried to accomplish too much too fast. Such as the ACA, where they’ll say he was on the right track in trying to get “cheap insurance” back on the markets and going after its funding, but he went “too far” in trying to dismantle it all at once. That he should have let the courts do the dirty work for him, instead of using up valuable time and political capital with a repeal effort that was unpopular from the start.

Unfortunately, there’s not much Governor Kate Brown can do aside from bringing attention to it. Let’s say she called out the Oregon National Guard to protect the protesters: Trump would immediately counter by federalizing those soldiers. If they refused to obey his orders, presumably, he could bring in federalized National Guard soldiers* from another area using the Insurrection Act.
* I’m a little fuzzy on that, I confess. Trump’s powers under the Insurrection Act are fairly broad, though not entirely unlimited.

Yeah - it led to the reimposition of restrictive measures throughout the entire Moravian Silesia region. All because the central government dithered on taking measures in Karvína that would’ve halted the spread of the virus.
The Darkov mine is owned by the Czech government and they fannied about on making a decision as to whether to close it or not for several weeks - while COVID-19 was spreading unchecked not only among the miners but their families, and ultimately the entire community.

Nazi Ingraham doesn’t get that Toronto isn’t even the US. No doubt her idiot followers will ignore that salient fact and proceed to believe the baffling bulkshit she spews about religious freedom, all while Trumpists impose their religious beliefs/dogma on everyone else (and ignoring actual religious tenets of like caring for the poor and unfortunate, etc.).
I hate the goddamned Nazis and the GOP. With the intensity of 1 billion supernovas. The lasting damage they’re inflicting on the nation will not be forgotten anytime soon, which is why the GOP is so intent on trying to pervert the rule of law and protect their power as much as possible ahead of November (like they’re doing in WI, and with the SCT ruling on Florida felons losing their right to vote because of the poll tax to clear their records when Florida can’t even be bothered to tell these people what they actually owe - not that it should matter because it’s a fucking poll tax).
re: #112 Yeah Sure WhatEVs
Trump has walked away from things before; we’ve seen this in the past. He’d do it to avoid humiliation.
On the other hand, Trump probably understands there’s a very real possibility he could end up in the slammer, at least in New York, and he knows damn well the only thing standing between him and a cell in Sing-Sing is the office of the presidency.
re: #112 Yeah Sure WhatEVs
Not a chance. He’d sooner go scorched earth than know that he’s going to be prosecuted the moment he leaves office. That outcome means he will do anything he can to stay in power for as long as possible.
And it means that we have to make sure that November is such a complete and utter disaster for the GOP that they do not recover.

They’re going to get bolder as this goes on longer without any real effort to stop it. Right now, it’s just protestors off the street who are grabbed for “graffiti.” But eventually they’re going to decide that’s not enough, that they’re not “doing enough” and so they’re going to branch out. Next is going to be no-knock home raids in order to grab up BLM “leaders,” then warrantless searches of politicians seen as BLM “supporters” or “enablers.” And each step of the way, they’ll portray it as “law enforcement” meant to bring an end to “terrorism.”

The only people with a valid medical reason to not wear a mask is if you’ve got burns on your face.
But since burns are an extra susceptibility to all manner of infections, anybody with that as their reason would be utterly delighted to hand over their shopping list and let store employees do it for them instead of going inside themselves.

On June 29, she did an anti-Black Lives Matter monologue which included a line that many viewed as a racist dog whistle and threat: “We will remember those who desert their colors.”
A complaint to corporate executives prompted an HR investigation into how Ingraham’s segment was conceived and made it to air, which ultimately cleared Ingraham and her team of racist intent in deploying the loaded phrase. Marsheila J. Hayes, the Black HR official who also led the June 9 call, was detailed to explain that the phrase was not racist at all. It was simply a historical military reference, said Hayes. (The phrase appears to have been more often used during the nineteenth century, frequently in reference to Civil War turncoats.)

His complete and utter failure not only has killed 140,000+ to date, but he absolutely wrecked the economy. It shrank by 37% in the 2d Quarter.
That’s not just a record for a quarter, but it’s more intense than any time since the Great Depression. It took 4 years for the economy to shrink during the Great Depression. Trump’s nearly there in 3 months. It wont recover anytime soon because of his know nothing approach and those of fellow Trumpists like DeSantis, Kemp, Stitt, or Ducey.

True, but the Ontario guidelines - at least IMO - do come uncomfortably close to “state control of religion” - although reading through that link in Ingraham’s tweet (and ewww - Big League Politics simply reeks of RW “religionism”) we can see it is, in fact fairly ecumenical in its proscriptions:
The Ontario Ministry of Health has issued COVID-19 guidelines advising to “suspend activities that increase risk of disease transmission, including” the “sharing or distributing materials or objects, which may include but is not limited to: books, communion, microphones, prayer mats, prayer shawls, water, etc.”
So, I guess, not quite the “war on Christianity” the assholes are trying to make it out to be: presumably if Jews and Muslims can find something to complain about, they can’t be accused of playing favorites…

I would say the Qcumbers are probably the most likely suspects willing to engage in outright domestic terrorism if Trump loses this November and Biden is sworn in come next January. Not all of them, mind you, but I could easily see the most unhinged among them trying to pull off an Oklahoma City-type incident.
Seeing the armed thugs on the street, rounding up people who “fit the profile,” what do you think is going to happen in the weeks before the election? Maybe some excuse will be given … maybe not even that.
Trump’s internal enemies will be rounded up, the voting places in black neighborhoods will be ringed with soldiers & tanks, and the results will be counted by Bill Barr’s corrupt toadies.
FOUR MORE YEARS!
Perhaps to the surprise of no one who lives in Southern California:
In the first months of the pandemic, Orange County leaders looked at the frightening coronavirus outbreaks and rising death toll to the north in Los Angeles County and felt their communities were doing pretty well in comparison.
But less than two months later, the conditions have changed dramatically. Over the last week, Orange County as well as two other suburban counties to the east of L.A. — Riverside and San Bernardino — are reporting worse coronavirus case rates per capita than L.A. County, according to a Times analysis.
The shift is all the more dramatic because Los Angeles County — long the epicenter of the coronavirus in California — continues to see huge spikes in cases. On Thursday, it reported more than 4,000 new cases, shattering a one-day record. But the new surge in COVID-19 has been particularly painful for suburban counties that were eager to reopen their economies after months of stay-at-home orders and where political battles raged about whether the government should require residents to wear masks in public settings.
The three counties opened many businesses a week before Los Angeles County. And along with the decisions by all three counties to rescind local mask-wearing orders, some experts said that sent an unintended message to some residents that they could go back to old routines.

NPR had a report about this, including one protestor who was picked up, read his Miranda rights, handcuffed, taken to city hall (?) and released without being charged with anything. Seems they can’t even do “jack-booted thugs” very well (not complaining).
The videos of the jackboots are going to make for excellent campaign ads for the Left.
re: #184 Belafon
When you hope to intimidate someone, they can’t know their constitutional rights.
Not sure what you’re saying here — the report says they were read their Miranda rights. (In my younger, demonstrating days, we had workshops on what to do if we were detained or arrested. I don’t know if they’re doing it now,)

With our current positivity rate of 7%, that is 490 positive people with COVID19 who don’t know it yet. Many of them will not self-isolate until they get that positive result back.

I didn’t quite say it properly. They tried to intimidate the person who they arrested/kidnapped.

A whole lot of people would have attempted to talk their way out of it, which would have gotten them in trouble, because it’s not that hard to confess to a crime.

re: #258 William Lewis
If, and I say if, you were right then attempting to resist when you are “arrested” will go exactly as well as it went for Allende. If you really believe that is what is happening you need to be setting up an organised underground resistance now.
But you don’t really believe that, you’re just posturing.
re: #114 Dr Lizardo
Trump has walked away from things before; we’ve seen this in the past. He’d do it to avoid humiliation.
On the other hand, Trump probably understands there’s a very real possibility he could end up in the slammer, at least in New York, and he knows damn well the only thing standing between him and a cell in Sing-Sing is the office of the presidency.
i dont see him bowing out unless he can really sell it as a legitimate health issue.
quitting for any other reason is just quitting. there’s no good spin.
not this late. and because everyone will know why:
“it was obvious you were gonna lose and it was too much work to try and turn it around…”
so he’s got to stay in and ‘sow the seeds of doubt’ as from electoral-vote.com this am says:
he hates losing (and the damage to his self-image) a lot, probably more than he enjoys being president. He doesn’t care one bit about the electoral hopes of anyone else in his party, and as to his own result, we would guess that the gap between “I win re-election” and “I lose re-election, but in a way I can spend the rest of my life claiming the result was fraudulent” is pretty small for him. On the other hand, the gap between the latter and “I lose reelection in a manner that is beyond all doubt” is massive. So, he’s likely to do whatever it takes to sow the seeds of doubt, regardless of the consequences. And the more likely a loss becomes, and the more he thinks about preserving his post-presidency brand, the stronger that tendency is likely to get.
re: #266 Ace Rothstein
If RBG were to not make it a week before Inauguration Day, you damn well better believe that that reptile McConnell would jam through and have a nominee sworn in before noon January 20.
I think the new Senate would be sworn in by January 3rd?
But that’s not that much more time, really, and only valid if the Democrats win the Senate.

That’s why Democrats need to take control of the Senate, because then they are in control on January 3rd.
re: #272 Belafon
My mistake. I thought it was all on the same day.
Edit: If RBG were to not make it a week before Inauguration Day New Year’s Day, you damn well better believe that that reptile McConnell would jam through and have a nominee sworn in before noon January 3.

Point is that the “Biden rule”, as I believe they termed it with Garland, would mean fuck all.

January 3 is the date the new Senate is sworn in. If good prevails, McConnell will no longer be Senate Majority Leader and so RBG would then only need to make it through the end of the year.

G*d willing, not: but nope in that case anyway: the Senate that convenes on Jan. 4, 2021 will be the one reflecting the election results from November, in which - it is devoutly to be hoped - Mitch McConnell will either be absent from, or, at best, Minority Leader and in no position to jam anything (well, nominations, anyway!).
re: #263 John Hughes
Illegal? How do you know before you’ve seen a lawyer. Pretty hard to do when you’re dead.
Are you high? People in camo with no, ZERO designations as to who they are kidnapping people of the street by pulling them into cats and talking off? Who knows they’re not 3%ers? Or some of Trump’s very fine people? Just who the fuck are they? If you’re not wearing a badge (minimally) you’re fucking nobody.
And me? I’m a woman who’d rather not be kidnapped and potentially raped by a group of unknown men. So yeah, dead might not be so bad (and do not argue this with me, having been raped I’d literally rather die than deal with that again. Got it?)
re: #252 Dr Lizardo
If it ever gets to that, the GOP is gonna tear itself apart. But like you, I won’t breathe a sigh of relief until January 20th, 2021.
I had always hoped back in 2016, that Trump would break off from the “establishment” GOP and form him own “Trump Party” and basically split the vote.
Maybe it will happen, only 4 years later. As vindictive as Trump is, if the McConnellites split and denounce him, he’d spin up a competitor to Fox and put “Deplorable” candidates up in every state, in every race.

And layer in the story of the boogaloo douches that were impersonating properly designated National Guardsmen, and shit can get pear shaped in a hurry with jackasses running around without ID.

Pray for a Democratic Senate taking power on 1/3/21 that will block Trump if that happens!
1) The problem is that the phoney cops in Portland want us to get violent to justify their existence.
2) They will always go after the weakest (unarmed) individuals. they are cowards.

If you show no ID, have an unmarked rental van and just try to toss someone in…what would a logical person assume?
A) That it was just a totally legit law enforcement op.
B) That it was law enforcement, but sketchy.
C) SOMEBODY JUST GOT KIDNAPPED! SOMEONE CALL 911! DID ANYONE GET THE PLATE?!

That might be the best way to handle, report it to 911 as a kidnapping.
speaking of kidnapping I have to practice for my set tonight.
This isn’t any result of being aggressive with testing.
It’s because the sheer number of people with covid19 is overwhelming the health delivery system in South Florida.

I deliberately avoided it, for one thing because it presents the mental leap as far bigger than it really is.

That was one of the lessons at the self-defense course I took.
“Do not get in the car, no matter what. Even if he has a gun to your head, DO NOT GET IN THE CAR. Because what he has planned for you if he gets you somewhere isolated is probably worse than a quick death.”
