Donald Trump recently shared a post to social media that he tried to activate the Insurrection Act as the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was unfolding — a move that may signal a new direction for his legal strategy, Newsweek reported.
The post says Trump was prevented from announcing his use of the act — which is only activated in extreme situations — on X because the platform, then known as Twitter, was removing his posts.
“If Trump’s reposting is an endorsement of this theory, it is a big departure from his current defense in his election interference case. The former president’s claim until now has been that he didn’t know how serious the situation was at the Capitol building,” Newsweek’s Sean O’Driscoll writes.
Among the four criminal cases facing Trump is his alleged attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the riot.
As Newsweek points out, the Insurrection Act allows the president to call in the military to put down a rebellion or extreme violence. It is very rarely used, with the last time being during the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992.
The law has been invoked a small number of times in the past century, most recently by then President George H.W. Bush to put down the Los Angeles riots in 1992 after the police beating of Rodney King.
Politico’s Kyle Cheney wrote on X that Trump’s “promoting the nonsense idea that he wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act amid the violence on Jan. 6. If it were true (which it clearly is not), it would blow up his legal defenses and also would likely have triggered waves of violence.”

The Addison, TX airport is closing its aviation museum so that it can build more private hangars, because that will “enhance the value of the airport.”

Trump is, of course, lying.
Trump didn’t need Twitter to invoke the Insurrection Act or to announce its invocation. He could have activated EAS and gone on the air at any time during the riot to announce it.
Also, he had no intention of doing so because the insurrectionists were storming the Capitol in accordance with his wishes and on his behalf.

I can only imagine how hard it was to tell when he only had multiple live TV feeds to look at with reports streaming in from the DC cops, capitol police, and secret service, not to mention from congressional leaders.

I favor Cholula over the more vinegary sauces. I’ve been known to squeeze in some catsup. That red sprinkle is Aleppo pepper. That was a before picture, there will not be an after photo, seeing that the bowl was emptied ere I remembered the camera
In this new year, I resolve to do everything I can to help President Biden get re-elected.

My folks would always have ham and navy beans. I don’t know if his service in the navy during WWII had any bearing on this menu choice.

re: #25 jeffreyw
That is the one sauce that does not agree with me. Why, I do not know. Melindas is my choice, but something is happening with them. They changed ownership I think, and moved to Panama. Also, I cannot find it here and it was easy to get.
Not vinegary, carrot base.
Now I see this crap. Big jump from $3.75 a bottle, hoo boy….
Later lizards, Happy Happy, Joy Joy.

Mom would boil up the Butter Beans, drain them, put them in a dish and then add a couple teaspoons of Good Seasons Italian Dressing, mix the beans and then sprinkle some oregano or dill on them.
That’s the way we liked Butter Beans.
Mow with Lima beans Mom would do the same but add a little fresh grated Romano cheese just before serving.
And then when we got fresh Kentucky Wonder beans from mom’s church pal those were sautéed in butter and dusted with just a bit of dill. Fresh Kentucky Wonder beans…mmmmmmmmm

I enjoyed the whole thing. I could see it sweeping the Oscars for best picture, director, screenplay, best actor and best supporting actor. It definitely is a film that should be seen in the IMAX format to get the best impact from the photography.
Oppenheimer is one of those rare movies that become an experience when seen in IMAX.

I went to the pantry and looked at the beans I had put back and I had the choice of navy beans, pintos or those lima beans and I went with the lima beans; cooked ‘em down with a pig foot for the gelatin, diced ham, a medium white onion, and a couple of chopped scallions.
Fox News panelist slammed for saying Trump could be ‘president from jail’
“He can be president from jail if he has to,” said Dr. Janette Nesheiwat on the Fox News show “Outnumbered.”
“Republicans are still rallying around Donald Trump.”
Whether Trump can indeed take office again if convicted remains to be seen considering he’s setting a historic precedent in this nation’s campaign history.
Nesheiwat’s response was made more baffling by the question that prompted it: “What happens if he’s indicted at some point?”
As X users were quick to point out, Trump has already been indicted multiple times.
“Um…he’s already been indicted,” wrote Fan of Walt. “Four times. For a grand total of 91 counts. So far!”
Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan shared the video with the message, “It. Is. A. Cult.”
X user Jeff Hudson skipped the legal complications and questioned the message.
“President from jail?” he wrote, “What kind of adult thinks a president can lead a country from within a jail cell?”
Answer—Republicans who watch FAUX!

Guessing very different versions. This one is made with cassareep, cassava juice that has been boiled and reduced to a syrup. And I missplet, it’s one word, pepperpot.

Twitter is the fourth branch of government. Ask Elon.

It did kind of drag out after the Trinity Test, no argument from me there.
re: #34 Joe Bacon ✅

Incredible experience! The way the film was meant to be viewed. The Trinity Test was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had in a cinema. You could hear a pin drop.
re: #28 Ace Rothstein
I believe she can reach women better than most normal media messages considering where advertising dollars get spent. Plus she’s a trusted voice who they identify with with shared experiences. The way that the GOP reacted to her new advocacy reinforces even her simplest message, get registered and vote.
BREAKING: Donald Trump was listed on Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs. Not surprising, but something every voter should know heading into 2024.

When HW invoked the Insurrection Act, it wasn’t in the first 3 hours. It wasn’t until the third day, dozens were dead, whole city blocks were on fire, the LAPD had all but given up, and Chief Gates resisted calling in the National Guard because he hated Mayor Bradley so much he didn’t want people to see he needed help.
re: #4 A Three Hour Tour
Trump’s lies are so ridiculous that you wonder who they are aimed at. The average American isn’t that stupid. Why would a President need Twitter to enact policy? Smh

This is really a gut-wrenching situation:
Do we vote for the old guy who wants to improve the lives of Americans or the just-about-as-old guy who only wants to improve his own life (by staying out of prison) and doesn’t give two shits about anyone else.

TBH, I like the Kraft boxed spaghetti dinner a lot more than making spaghetti from most other store-bought dry spaghetti and sauces; add a small can of tomato paste (with a can of hot water), a pound of cooked hamburger, and Robert’s your mother’s brother.

Almost all movie and TV representations of nuclear tests and explosions (and most other conventional explosions too, in war movies and the like) have the sound matched up to the flash and that’s that’s what people have come to expect. Sound travels at three seconds a kilometre and they did this right in the movie, for once.
What we didn’t see was the ground-shock, the P-wave which propagates a lot faster, ca. 5km/sec. Enrico Fermi famously used the P-wave to estimate the yield of the Trinity bomb by dropping pieces of paper into a puddle and measuring how much they moved although the movie makers didn’t show that part.

It’s nice to be in the year when we will finally put an end to Trump’s bullshit.
If Trump really wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act on January 6th, it was probably because he expected the military to help him take over the government.

The Oathkeepers thought Trump was going to call upon the “militia”, the Oathkeepers, when he invoked the Insurrection Act. They had their weapons cached in Alexandria, Virginia, which they were going to retrieve when Trump made the call.

Fox and related conservative media are willing to inaccurately report, lie, and editorialize to cover for him. They need the horse race and to convince their viewers that Trump is a legitimate candidate that the liberal media and Democrats are unfairly picking on.

The ‘peachy fine’ people will quickly discover that the authoritarians regard them as enemies as well.
Of course then it will be too late.
It’s an intentional shitpost making fun of AI bros so this isn’t a dunk on the poster, the interesting thing to me is that we can see the AI tool used to create it has no fucking idea what it’s doing. How, beyond a very surface level “what comes next” plausible fill of the existing pattern it completely misses the importance of stylistic elements within the pattern and why they’re there. What it clearly doesn’t perceive, and incapable of understanding, is that the anthropomorphic themes within the original work are intentional, important, and characteristic elements within Haring’s oeuvre.

As well as most of his devout supporters. Hawley, Johnson, Jordan, etc will continue to foster revolution and treason as long as they have any say in government. Though none of the other tools have really caught on with the base — including Ivana’s kids and their spouses.

I have looked for a decent “soviet” set, but I’m always a little nervous about ordering stuff from Ukraine on Ebay. I know it’s unfair, but I always picture the scene from Road Warrior where Mel Gibson passes the geiger counter over the canister of highly-radioactive water.

re: #88 KingKenrod
I have no allegiance to either Michigan or Washington in college football, but I do have a weird random memory of watching the 1978 Rose Bowl when I was 9, and since then I’ve always wanted both teams to do well. I think it’s because I liked the uniforms. Hoping for a rematch!
[Embedded content]
I don’t care about the game but am automatically biased against Red State teams. So obviously supported Michigan against Alabama, especially a state with such a terrible senator.
re: #89 Hecuba’s daughter
If we had to make a coach our senator, we would have been a whole lot better off with Saban. In my dreams he runs for Governor as a Dem.
re: #1 Joe Bacon ✅
Donald Trump recently shared a post to social media that he tried to activate the Insurrection Act as the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was unfolding — a move that may signal a new direction for his legal strategy, Newsweek reported.
The post says Trump was prevented from announcing his use of the act — which is only activated in extreme situations — on X because the platform, then known as Twitter, was removing his posts.
“If Trump’s reposting is an endorsement of this theory, it is a big departure from his current defense in his election interference case. The former president’s claim until now has been that he didn’t know how serious the situation was at the Capitol building,” Newsweek’s Sean O’Driscoll writes.
Among the four criminal cases facing Trump is his alleged attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the riot.
As Newsweek points out, the Insurrection Act allows the president to call in the military to put down a rebellion or extreme violence. It is very rarely used, with the last time being during the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992.
The law has been invoked a small number of times in the past century, most recently by then President George H.W. Bush to put down the Los Angeles riots in 1992 after the police beating of Rodney King.
Politico’s Kyle Cheney wrote on X that Trump’s “promoting the nonsense idea that he wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act amid the violence on Jan. 6. If it were true (which it clearly is not), it would blow up his legal defenses and also would likely have triggered waves of violence.”
Trump didn’t need to announce it on Twitter. He could have called a snap press conference and invoked the Insurrection Act. He did not. Also, I strongly suspect that all the evidence Jack Smith has indicates that even if the Insurrection Act was discussed, it wasn’t discussed for long, because Trump didn’t WANT to invoke the Insurrection Act. He wanted his foot soldiers to screw everything up royally.
I’m also thinking that a civil war may have broken out had Trump tried to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Trump is bloviating again. Jeffrey Clark is the one who suggested use of the Insurrection Act - and that was in response to the idea that there would be riots in the streets if the coup plotters succeeded. He’s only bringing it up now because he’s aware that his legal defenses are crumbling under the weight of evidence the special counsel is bringing to bear, and he is desperate to get away with it all so he can try again.

re: #54 Charles Johnson
If Trump really wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act on January 6th, it was probably because he expected the military to help him take over the government.
I remember my terror at seeing live coverage of Zip Tie Guy and his Mommy maneuvering at will inside We the People’s Senate Chamber.
No doubt all Threepers expected that their fantasy was coming true as well, so I assume that there must have been at least some handfull of mutinous Active Duty military personnel.
Perhaps President Dunning-Krueger was monitoring for a critical mass of mutineers before invoking the Act.
re: #48 Patricia Kayden
Trump’s lies are so ridiculous that you wonder who they are aimed at. The average American isn’t that stupid. Why would a President need Twitter to enact policy? Smh
The stupidity is a feature, think Nigerian Prince scams. For our infamous Conman in Chief, he also gets the joy of playing his favorite role as he’s picking the marks’ pockets!
