@mcnado EXACTLY and out of state shipping of the undesirables via bus or train will become supercharged.

@jkottke I will always call it a putsch because it seems much like an attempted overthrow of the government that was cooked up in a beer hall.

Lots of careful people getting covid right now too. Looks like the only way to escape it during this latest huge surge is to hermit up

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.

841,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and want Trump to be president.

There's a very high toll in human death paid for mixing politics and public health.

Remember, Republican billionaire donors want you to die to save their economy.

Hahaha. If anyone really truly believed the hogwash that is the “they were just tourists” line about the Jan 6 attacks, then why did these knuckleheads feel the need to become fugitives for three years. Oh that’s right, logic is t a thing for the far right propaganda machine.

On this date, the United States remembers.

The Republican policy on public education is that it shouldn't exist.

In 2022, Betsy DeVos admitted: "I frankly don't think the Department of Education should exist."

She is the former Republican Education Secretary. She wants to have all public schools eliminated in favor of private Christian schools. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/27/betsy-devos-trump-republicans-education-secretary

Happy MAGAt Tasing Himself In The Nuts Until He Died Day to those who celebrate

My version of a Ken Burns doc on #January6th and the Capitol-

Please watch; it's brief.

Don’t let anyone lie about January 6th. It was an armed terrorist attack. Pipe bombs, guns, Molotov cocktails, stun guns, machetes, a crossbow, hockey sticks, baseball bats, flagpoles, pepper spray, bear spray, brass knuckles, scissors, needles, screwdrivers, and an axe. Over 1,200 arrested. 117 for bringing deadly weapons or assaulting police officers. Around 140 officers injured. Jan 6 was an armed terrorist attack.

@Threadbane @DEPHER_1 It's a sign of a poorly educated populace that they can't differentiate between socialism and communism.

Historian begs Americans not to downplay Trump's threats to use the military against them

If Donald Trump becomes the 47th president, Presidential historian Michael Beschloss said he believes there is going to be a severe danger of instituting the Insurrection Act and putting soldiers on missions to police American soil.

During a rally in Iowa, the 2024 Republican frontrunner described the metropolises of New York City and Chicago as “crime dens” and vowed to move fast to bring in the country's military might.

“The next time, I’m not waiting," he said. "One of the things I did was let them run it and we’re going to show how bad a job they do,” he said. “Well, we did that. We don’t have to wait any longer.”

Beschloss says we should be taking Trump at his word.
