We WILL survive Joe and the Ho.


This is so much more than surviving the next four years. They stole the election. They have cheated before (2016). But this was more brazen in your face - nobody's going to stop us - nothing to see here.

There will never again be a fair election, the ballot box is done.

The socialist machine will not be stopped unless enough band together and use force. And it would seam that to many are happy the way the country is headed.


Yeah the next four years will be far worse than those prior administrations - why? Simple... the times are far different - doxing, de-platforming, cancel culture, toxic masculinity, identity culture, microaggressions, transgressions (yeah I know just sounded timely and funny to add) and a system where there is less moral support to do the right thing. Combined with an all or nothing from the left, let alone reasoning with others there is no way but their way.

Going to be interesting times if you don't run with the herd and this administration has a clear path to do what they want fully supported with little friction if any. With the assistance of the MSM they can grease the friction away through optics, control the narrative and the herd will abide

And before anyone says that's a defeatist attitude. Hell no - its simply an assessment of what will be a likely reality and lay of the land in a country where the underpinnings are now fully aligned to their benefit.

Defeat would be to take it in the ass - I aim to misbehave (as long as I can still pick up my take out and come home and watch netflix...) In all seriousness I do not know what anyone's misbehavior will be - but its certainly time to start noodling it if there ever was a time

ETA - and I am fully aware O's terms had many of the social issues during his term including doxing etc but no where near the level of the last few years - its full on now - before it was kindergarten level, its now graduated top of the class

The Capitol Police pulled the barrier aside, why?


Right after you see that guy waving them on (from behind the cops), the camera pans right and it looks an awful lot like the barricades were already opened on their right. I'm guessing these cops realized they were the only ones still holding that particular perimeter. The others were already opened or breached.

This particular footage seems very much like a nothing burger to me. The only question is were the fences ordered open or were they breached?

There is plenty of video out there of the initial breaching of the fences and skirmish with the police before they realized they are over matched and retreat.


Just one example:

ETA, this is he initial breach of the outer perimeter:

Is that a Press Pass?

At least there was good coverage as the mob “chased” the Capitol Policeman up to Congress.



There just seems to be a lot of questionable activity.

Here in Alabama, reporters are interviewing Alabamians who where near the action at the capitol and the two interviews I've read, both folks stated the barricades were over-run or breached.

quote:
"Pete Riehm was one of around 30 supporters of President Donald Trump from Coastal Alabama who approached the Capitol steps where they were supposed to meet U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl before departing Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

They never got to have that meeting with their congressman.

“We were going to the east side of the building and hoping he’d get off the (House) floor and say ‘hi’ and then go back in,” said Riehm, a tea party activist and conservative radio show host in Mobile. “We got around there and they kicked over the barricades and ran up the steps as we got there. Our rendezvous (with Carl) was canceled. The congressman could not come out and see us.” ... https://www.al.com/politics/20...y-the-beginning.html

... and ...
quote:
Ann Eubank was “standing 5 feet from the crazy people” at the Capitol on Wednesday when she saw the barricades tumbled and rush of Trump supporters up the Capitol steps.

“It was like a flip switched,” said Eubank of Hoover and chairwoman of the Alabama Legislative Watchdogs. “It was almost instantaneous. It was like a ‘Whomp!’ and up the stairs they went.”

Eubank, of Hoover, stood back and observed the chaos unfold.

“I did not storm the Capitol,” she said. “I just stood there and was like, ‘Oh my God, what just happened.’ No way on Earth would any self-respecting conservative person do what those people did. They broke doors. They broke windows. The police were not ready for that. They were not prepared for it. I just stood there in shock and was like, ‘what the heck happened?’”

Eubank was in Washington, D.C., to speak during a Women for Trump rally that occurred on Tuesday. She said that rally occurred without any problems. ... https://www.al.com/politics/20...t-kind-of-stuff.html

I hope to not wade too deep here, and I don't desire to argue on it, so I hope to be neutral in the point.

As for the folks that entered the Capitol building.

We are all people. We do people things.

When we are in crowds, we tend to do the crowd thing.

It is our nature. In such situations, we start running on the lizard brain, and the higher, critical thinking brain function starts playing candy crush or thinking about lunch.

I have no trouble with believing that all of what we saw yesterday of the crowd, was anything but 100% members of "the cause".

While it might be plausible and even likely that few or many were of the opposite "cause", what happened would have happened just the same.

Because, people.

(And my admonition several times of "choose today..." not in the heat of the moment, not driven by emotion, not influenced by a word spoken, but know where you stand, when the time to stand comes in.

Sort of like the command to "fall in". You know your place, you go straight way to it without thinking.

And "today" was yesterday.

I'm going to plead the "Gump", on anything more to say 'bout this.

(willing to discuss this one on one in emails with anyone. Just too complex a topic to try and discuss in a thread, and it would become a hot mess, and that defeats any good discussion)

I am fully aware that SCOTUS has appeared, at the very least, to step aside for the benefit of the swamp. And at worst, they are bought and paid for. But it is my hope that yesterdays actions in the capitol will be taken by those Nine as a clear message. That a truly significant portion of the population is not going along with this years shenanigans. A portion of the population that normally do not 'march'. A segment of people best described as breadwinners, and (ordinarily) law abiding taxpayers. People who have worked hard and typically have everything to lose. The wretched refuse and spoiled rich kids who made up this summers' race rioters are a wholly dissimilar group and largely, a group with nothing to lose.

Whatever abominations this congress puts forth in the coming months and years will certainly face legal challenges. The track record of the left of pushing unconstitutional laws will only intensify. So when SCOTUS has a chance to, they will become our only checker and balancer. I am predicting that most of them were surprised and perhaps even a little shaken by yesterdays happenings, and that they will seek to be the only stabilizer left in our government. It may only seek to be that regarding the most heinous legislation this new unholy alliance will seek to produce, but I believe they will issue some surprising judgements. Hopefully they will deliver some crushing blows to the lefts efforts to deprive us of our most sacred rights.

This is my hope and my prayer.

This is not lost on the dems. They are already calling for "court packing" and various avenues are being explored to do so ... SCOTUS term limits, additional justices etc etc.

Over the past 4yrs, many in America have bought into MSM (they still watch CNN every day and don't search out other views. Their lives are filled with personal issues and for a few minutes each day they only want the headline news) and big tech influence (they spend more time attached to electronic devices and social media, going with the flow, than doing any kind of political research). They are sheeple and they vote. Some of us are beginning to feel outnumbered by them and sense an American future much different than we would like to see. Our foot has been slammed in the door. We damn sure had a chance and if we ever get our foot back in the door (President and both floors of the house), we need representatives just as ruthless as the dems. I'd hoped these last four years that with a conservative President and majority in the senate, we'd see that kind of action. I was disappointed. When William Barr, a conservative, was appointed AG, I'd hoped we'd see that kind of action. I was disappointed. And the sheeple rejoice.

I think we will look back on January 6, 2021 as a tragic day; a day that, for many reasons, will "live in infamy".

I also think we will look back on President Trump as in many ways a tragic hero like those of the Greek tragedies.

Well, I was informed by a customer today (who has never steered me wrong) to just wait, good things are in the making. Gossip, I know, but he has told me many truths that the news stations have never put out there.

We do have one advantage, that the more power the Dems have the more they will sabotage themselves by poor governance. They will piss more and more people off by stomping on the Bill of Rights. As the economy slows, many persons will realize how good they had it under Trump.

Undoubtably the Dems will try to steal all future elections, but they will make many enemies along the way.

Utah Man With a History of Organizing Violent Antifa, BLM Protests, Was Inside the Capitol

A young man named John Sullivan was there. He's from Utah and the founder of "Insurgence USA," which is a group dedicated to "racial justice and police reform." According to numerous news reports, he has a history of organizing leftist protests and identifies with Black Lives Matter.

Over the summer, Sullivan was arrested after organizing a violent riot in Utah that ended with a shooting. One of the host groups was the Salt Lake Antifascist [Antifa] Coalition.

At the U.S. Capitol, Sullivan was standing next to Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt when she was shot and killed by a police officer. In fact, he filmed it.

KUTV has confirmed a Utah man involved in violent protests in Utah this Spring was in D.C & stormed the Capitol amid violent protests.
@JimSpiewak
spoke to him. The story on 2 News at 10. His most often used hashtags: #blm #antifa #burn #fuckthesystem #abolishthepolice #fucktrump

On two of his Twitter feeds, you'll find retweets of footage from Black Lives Matter riots. His profile photo advertises a planned anti-Trump rally on January 6. His Instagram page, where additional footage of previous riots and protests was posted, is no longer available. He also retweeted an Antifa page.

Term limits for SCOTUS Justices would require an Amendment to the Constitution and I doubt that 38 state legislatures would go for it. Adding Justices is in the hands of Congress--they can increase its size if they want to (and they DO want to). That was why keeping the Republican majority in the Senate was so crucial (and failed)--the way is open for that to happen. However, I think there are some Democrats who would balk at the action.

Unfortunately, making enemies will not keep them from doing stupid things.
