This is what they're defending and supporting:
Insurrectionist mobs beating and killing a D.C. cop
This guy carrying a traitorous flag through the halls of the Capitol building (he and his son have been arrested.)
This guy: Richard Barnett, 60, of Gravette, Arkansas had a stun gun, so is now charged with entering a restricted building without lawful authority while carrying a dangerous weapon. That charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
This guy:
The more we learn, the less this looks like a coup bound to fail, and the more it looks like plain luck that all of our legislators and our vice-president were not murdered.
The white supremacist terrorist and Trump supporter, Peter Stager of Arkansas, who beat a cop with the American flag, is arrested:
The affidavit says confidential informants had recognized Stager in riot video and photographs and alerted authorities, who have charged Stager with interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Little Rock, Arkansas, confirmed Stager was in custody Thursday. No attorney was listed for Stager in court records. " --Lee Arnold, via AP News
This guy:
As the officer turned to move away from the scene, a voice can be heard shouting “You’re scared now, motherfucker.”

and 192 republican (I perfer repukelican actually) voted nay on impeachment.
Fools All. And, IMO, they are not deserving of the offices they hold.
When the history is written in books will it say our Congress did nothing to Trump? He got impeached, big deal, the Senate won't convict. He should be in jail. Maybe New York will put him in jail.
Is that blood on the floor around his head in the first photo?
Hideous. Mob violence is a horror.
Let this sink in.
Conservatives, the right, Republicans, supporters of President Trump have made it clear... violence is how they believe they should maintain power in America. Senator Lindsey Graham, in explaining his rationale for voting against impeachment cited a fear of violence. From rightwing protestors supporting Donald Trump.
What we have now is a Republican Party afraid of the mob of insurrectionists they themselves created. A violent, deadly mob. A mob that beat a Federal agent with the American flag. A mob that came to Washington DC prepared to kill people. A Conservative, rightwing, Republican insurrectionist mob.
When Republicans are facing death threats for voting for impeachment, those threats are not coming from deranged libtards, rather, those threats are coming from loyal, dedicated, energized and enthusiastic reliable Republican voters.
All in service to a series of lies that elected GOP leaders continue to spout to their base, again, out of fear for their jobs and their lives.
And us lefties are called the morons.
All this stuff on your blog , only goes to show that it was Antiva who was responsible for the raid and NOT the Trump supporters.
Those right wing bloggers and news sites complaining about Trump's second impeachment?
They say we should not impeach Trump, not because he isn't guilty, but because the rightwing mob will react, bring violence, and maybe kill people.
How's that for circular reasoning?
We can't do this because our supporters will be violent.

Oh Hans, stop showing off your illogical twaddle.
Dave,
“We’ve got to get rid of the weak congresspeople, the ones that aren’t any good, the Liz Cheneys of the world, we got to get rid of them,” said President Trump. He urged his minions to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the place where Congress was meeting to certify the election he lost: “Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.”

"When a mob incited by the president ransacked the Capitol, killing one policeman and pummeling others, it also tore down a veil. Suddenly, all but the most fanatical partisans admitted that Trump was exactly who his fiercest critics have always said he was." --Michelle Goldberg, NYTimes
I've checked out the usual far right blogs, and as I expected, they're not at all appalled at what happened at the Capitol last week. I've read nothing that condemns it. Nothing about a policeman being beaten to death; nothing about another being beaten with an American flag; nothing about the mobs leaving urine and feces behind amid all the destruction and theft of property. Nothing about a POTUS inciting insurrection against his own government.
Nothing.
And that tells me everything.
I don't know how to live in a country with people like that, with people that fanatical. They've been so marinated in Trumpism that they either refuse or are unable to see the evil that has taken over the Republican/Trumpublican Party through the abetment of Donald Trump. His dishonesty, venality, sleaze, and constant lying has infected everything and everyone in that party. As I've said elsewhere, the stink will stay with them and it for years.
The GOP has been weakened, but no one knows how badly at this time. IMO, it should cease to exist, and the principled conservatives should re-organize under a different name and exclude the people like the turncoats currently still loyal to Trump.
Tell that Hans troll that no one bludgeoned a cop after the email lady lost!

This is from VOX:
"After last week’s assault on the US Capitol by pro-Trump rioters, there have been lots of calls from Republicans for “unity” and “reconciliation.”
The pleas for unity, however well-intentioned, obscure a crucial fact: This is not a bipartisan crisis. The Republican Party welcomed Trump into their ranks and indulged and excused him for four years. They nurtured the movement that led to the attack on the Capitol.
Even after the Capitol was violently sacked, even after at least five people were killed, a poll showed that 45 percent of Republicans support the invasion. That means millions upon millions of Americans see no problem in disrupting the peaceful transfer of power, a bedrock of constitutional democracy. And mere hours after the crisis at the Capitol, nearly 150 Republican lawmakers formally objected to the results of the 2020 election anyway.
So that’s where we are."
45%! And you can bet that includes the folks at Geeez and AOW.
OMG!
"Andy Borowitz
A majority of Republicans want Trump to be the nominee in 2024. I wonder which part of his legacy they’re most impressed by: the 4000 deaths per day or his rioters shitting inside the Capitol?"
Wow talk about fake news. I doubt the majority of republicans want trump to run in 2024. I assume you have heard china is having a resurgence of covid and it must be trumps fault. As a government can do no wrong person what is your opinion on how they are handling the trump vaccine roll out. I do have several retired friends who are excited about receiving their $2000 stimulus checks. According to the Rev the government can do means testing to see who gets the checks. It is just great to see taxpayer money being handed out but what the hell, our grandchildren will pay the bill not us.
With the talk of violence and covid why don;t they hold the inauguration virtual instead of having a huge spreader event.
Skud, in his daily attempt to speak ill of Obama, Clinton or biden asks the following. If you can understand it...
As a government can do no wrong person [maybe a typo??] what is your opinion on how they are handling the trump vaccine roll out.
Skud, are you willfully ignorant?
Of course every liberal here will concede that government makes mistakes. And the vaccine rollout, by the, wait for it, Trump Admin has been horrendous. As was his plan for contact tracing, as was his plans for testing, etc.
As for the stimulus checks, I believe now they are slated to be $1400.00, which added to the $600.00 already approved, would equal the $2000.00 per taxpayer that again, wait for it, President Trump demanded. And yes, if Congress wants, I think they can easily means test this... say, anyone currently making less that 50K a year, 100K for a married couple.
And... as for your worry about the inauguration, we thank you for your concern. You can be sure the great majority of it will in fact be virtual. But we need Biden to publicly be sworn in so the crazies on the right, cannot claim it was not done.
But maybe you could answer a couple of questions...
Why are Republicans worried about violence from essentially right wing Republicans? And is the threat of violence, from other Republicans, a good reason for Republicans not to impeach a president who has encouraged the very people committing that violence?
Because that's what Republican US Senators are saying in their calls for unity. That impeachment will cause violence. Violence from the right.
You can't make up this circular thinking...
skudrunner: "Wow talk about fake news. I doubt the majority of republicans want trump to run in 2024."
lIt's still Trump's party.
Oh yes they would. Trump still has the support of a majority of the Republicans --although I hesitate to call that party the "Republican Party" anymore, since it's really the Party of Seditionists and Traitors to America.
This blogpost isn't about China and COVID; nor is it about the stimulus checks; nor any of what you posted.
If a directly incited violent attack on the Capitol with Congress in session, resulting in deaths, injuries, damage to federal property, and death threats to elected officials is not traitorous criminal behavior, then what the hell is?
I challenge anyone to scour their memories and their history resources to come up with an action by a sitting POTUS which is as criminal as this.
You. Won't. Find. One.
So it comes down to the question of whether we are or are not a country of laws.
If Barack Obama had done this, what action would everyone be demanding?
Obama was the only elected official I ever volunteered to campaign for, but if he had done what Trump did, I would be demanding his immediate removal from office.
If we want the country to heal, we must remove the diseased tissue first. In Nazi Germany it was terminating the Nazi Party.
In the US in 2021 it has to be cutting the head off Trumpism, and I see no better way to do that than prosecuting Trump himself to the full extent of the law for the seditious conspiracy and incitement of insurrection that we all witnessed in real time.
Any Republicans with objections can just stick their heads back up their butts until the honest half of the country is done with the excision.
The link in the above comment from me is broken. Try THIS.
SKUD, the fact that you don't believe that the Republican Party still supports Trump and even would support him for president in 2024 shows me that you live in a bubble, listening only to what you agree with.
The Republican Party still embraces a man who encouraged sedition against the United States of America, who encouraged his people the ones he said "I love you" to, to murder the vice president and speaker of the house.
And you won't address that.
Why?
GOOD FOR MADAM SPEAKER!
Pelosi Calls For The Criminal Prosecution Of Any Member Of Congress Who Aided Capitol Attack
Notice how Skidmark and the rest of the mewling class are all suddenly, once again, up in arms over spending? I didn't see or read a peep when their orange messiah gave huge tax cuts to billionaires, or when he charged his own secret service team for golf carts and hotel rooms and indeed doubled or tripled the charges for it. No, just normal business, ya know. They were mute when he started a trade war that cost us billions of dollars in added costs (Which he lied and said China was paying). Now that Biden is talking about throwing a much needed lifeline to average working people and people struggling to get by, it's suddenly time to clutch those big, clunky, Barbara Bush style pearls and squeal bloody murder.
Ahhh. I guess there's no chance that type will ever even see the great hypocrisy that makes up most of their ideology, these days. If it's not conspiracy theories (Lies), it's hypocrisy. What a useless effing bunch.
The F.B.I. is investigating 37 in the killing of a Capitol Police officer by a pro-Trump mob.

I can think of no other “President, who, on the day he was sworn in, should be immediately IMPEACHED by not just one, but four — four! — impeccable scandals..
Once he takes office, his administration should, and will be bogged down by legitimate investigations into his actual and credible wrongdoing, corruption, self-dealing, and sexual misconduct including with the dealing with the Prosecutor in the Ukraine, and , of sexually assaulting Tara Reade in 1993.. Both he and his Crime family MUSTn be dealt wit. Lets remember the saying of the Democrats only a few months ago. “No One is Above the Law, NOT even the President of the United States. Right Nancy Pelosi? Right Donna Brazile? Right Jerry Nadler who accused the president of betraying the public trust and endangering US National Security to benefit himself. Right Kamala Harris!"

skud is a two-faced Trumper. Dishonest, and pro-insurrectionist.
Skud... now comes word that the Trump Admin called for all the Covid-19 vaccine to be released after, once again, wait for it... we had run out of vaccine!
As we move into a new administration, don't come here and gripe about the areas where it will struggle and screw up. Because nothing, absolutely nothing could match the utter devastation this country has seen under a businessman who knows nothing about running a large organization, let alone a government. hundreds of thousands of dead Americans, a president who has never shown empathy to their families or our nation, a botched vaccine roll out, attacks on peaceful protestors by federal troops, dead federal agents, beaten to death by his supporters and plots across America to kill governors, senators, congressmen and others, from right wing, conservative, Trump supporting insurrectionist mobs.
Sen. Ben Sasse: "Investigators have strong evidence to suggest that some of the rioters who stormed the United States Capitol planned to kidnap and possibly assassinate the Vice President. These men weren't drunks who got rowdy — they were terrorists."
Ray, that is no surprise. Sorry.
Bluebullamerica, Yes. Trump spent $150,000,000 on his golf trips -- the most golf played by any president in history, and the tax cuts for the rich increased the deficit,and now the Trumpers are worrying about a deficit?
Hypocrites!
Dave
Devastating! I'll bet you were astounded even writing that comment -- as I was reading it.
And yet, that is the legacy Trump leaves behind.
I've been calling him a liar, cheater, and fraud since he came down that escalator. And he's proved me correct again and again. But I never dreamed he would end up inciting an
insurrection against his own government where a policeman was murdered and his supporters wanted to assassinate his own vice president and the Speaker of the House.
i
Trump is mentally ill -- malignant narcissism is a destructive personality disorder -- and we, the people, the American people, are all his victims.
In four and a half days we'll be rid of the Scourge of Trump, but I don't think we'll get the stink of Trumpism out of our country for a long, long time.
This is still difficult to read and understand:

Some of the individuals who breached the Capitol intended to "capture and assassinate elected officials," federal prosecutors wrote in this new court filing. This is part of what Trump must answer for in his Senate trial and in post-1/20/21 prosecutions.
Dave, RN, Ray, Bluebull,
Did you see this?
After receiving legal letter, conservative outlet American Thinker has issued an incredible statement admitting it published "completely false" info on Dominion that had "no basis in fact." It apologizes to readers for "abandoning" journalistic principles.
The people on those far right blogs often refer to American Thinker -- liars -- I wonder if they'll report on this?
In a word... Unlikely.
RN
What was I thinking????
No way the Trumptards will ever get that information, and, even if they were to hear about it, they won't believe it. They are so stuck in fantasy and wild conspiracies that actual facts cannot penetrate.
Pentagon won’t hold traditional Armed Forces Farewell for Trump
JANUARY 15, 2021
Earlier today, CNN revealed that the treasonous, insurrection-inciting individual who we for some reason are still referring to as President of the United States is hoping for a big military-style sendoff when he leaves office. Trump, who has never served and who has demeaned and insulted our military servicemen and women time and time again, has long fancied himself as a strong commander-in-chief. Unfortunately for him, the days of his military LARPing are almost over.
Defense One reports that far from throwing Trump an extravagant, North Korea-style military event the Department of Defense will break tradition by not throwing an Armed Forces Farewell for him. Two senior Pentagon officials revealed to Defense One that none is being planned. It’s unclear if the decision stems from a reluctance from the DOD or a lack of interest on the part of President Trump.
His live action role playing (LARP) surely is NOT desrving of a conventional semd-off or anything else. After his disasterous term, his sedition and incitement of insurrection the SOB deserves to be placed on a boat, restrained, and launched out to sea. AFTER THE BOAT IS SET AFIRE.
I apologize for my honesty. But the bastard desrves the misery he has inflicted upon this nation.
Shaw... let's also note that it has been reported that Trump wants to leave early to avoid having to ask President Elect, or President Biden for the always afforded custom of a final flight on Air Force One as an Ex President leaves office.
A request which of course, we know Biden, a truly good guy, would grant.
Such a petty man Trump is...
Re the letter from the American Thinker... based on the Dominion billion with a "B" lawsuit, you can expect a few other players in the right wing conspiracy theory universe pretty soon too.
Too bad we can't get that kind of statement from most of the GOP Caucus in Congress...
But Shaw, the police officer wasn't beaten. As per Minus FJ, he went home and died from a pre-existing medical condition. LARPing patriots wouldn't kill a police officer.
Re rightwing violence, as per Malcolm Nance (a few days ago on the Stephanie Miller show) what we might expect next is a MAGA insurgency (similar to what we saw in Iraq after the US invasion and installation of a new government). Which would involve ongoing violence and MAGA terrorist attacks.
Re the police officer who was beaten to death -- it didn't happen. As per Minus FJ, the officer collapsed at home and died due to a pre-existing medical condition. LARPing patriots wouldn't kill a police officer.
Re the American Thinker, (I suspect) the claim will be that they were intimidated by the Dominion lawsuit. Thus they are issuing the retraction even though their previous reporting was "true". Dominion totally "stole" the election for Joe Biden.
Re the vaccine running out -- BARE SHELVES (what Dotard falsely criticized the Obama administration for). Another "warp speed" "success". "Thank you" predisent Dotard!
Watching MSNBC now and they're saying (re the planned attacks on all 50 state capitols), Dotard WANTS this to happen. Because he will then enact martial law. The "My Pillow" guy met with Dotard recently (and as per a photo someone snapped of notes he was carrying) he urged Dotard to enact martial law. We're not out of the woods yet.
Quote: Lindell is holding the notes with a phone in one hand and a coffee cup in the other hand, bending the notes face open so that some sentences are legible. One of those phrases reads "Insurrection Act now as a result of the assault on the… martial law if necessary upon the first hint of any…", ... Another note reads,"… foreign interference in the election trigger [illegible] powers. Make clear this is China/Iran".
Derv This is where Trump has taken the United States: An insurrection against his own government which threatened to assassinate his own vice president and the Speaker of the House, and accepting advice on how to hold onto power from a pillow salesman.
Dear Gawd!
Derv, Minus FJ has now become his own parody of a conspiracy-crazed Trump cultist.
You have to read everything he writes by adding "And I lost my mind" after each sentence for anything to make sense.
For example, Minus FJ wrote: "The DC cop went home and died from a pre-existing medical condition." AND I LOST MY MIND.
When one does this to everything he writes, everything makes sense!
Blueballs, where did you get the 150 million golf expense from. Even you can't believe that. Regarding you copy of my post on another site, which is a cowardly thing to do, the media controls opinion. CNN and others have declared biden off limits for criticism. Since the fourth estate has declared silence and since congress is controlled by the biden party there will be no investigation of anything he or his family has done or does.
As to my being a trumper I have to laugh. As to my being a republican I have to laugh. At one time I was a republican but they lost their fiscal conservative stance so I bailed. Both parties are far to fiscally liberal for me.
Joey has made a lot of promises so we can see how many he keeps. 100 million doses in 100 days may be a stretch. To put the government in charge of this massive project is pre-planned failure. All the tax increases and throwing money away will certainly be accomplished
Ms, Shaw, hope you enjoy your Wednesday and I hope joey has a healthy four years.
But ya gotta admit the Dude got it right.
When 62% of republicans refuse to accept tRump lost the election (it was a landslide) you can only conclude that 62% of republicans are crazy.
Skud. Trump’s golfing has cost the American taxpayers $151.5 MILLION over the four years he’s been POTUS. A simple Google search brings dozens of sites reporting and verifying this fact.
I’m beginning to understand a lot of why Trumpers hold their crazy ideas: THEY DON’T DO ANY RESEARCH THAT CONTRADICTS THEIR WORLD VIEW. That’s also the reason they believe Trump won in a landslide. They read only Trump propaganda.
As for your remark on the certain failure if government takes on the job of vaccines, the US Government took on the task of winning WWII, and that turned out fine. It’s Reagan who told Americans to distrust their own government. And here we are!
And polls are so accurate. Do 62% of republicans wish trump won, probably. You state they are crazy but what about the people who pat taxes and are fine throwing billions away and receiving nothing in return, that is crazy.
Let the money flow
Yes, Jackie’s Notes, the Dude who predicted Trump would leave the presidency a FAILURE certainly got it right.
He’s leaving with a 29% approval rate. Lowest of any modern presidency.
His failures are manifest.
donald j. trump, America's BIGGEST LOSER and America's BIGGEST presidential FAILURE, hands down.
An unmitigated disaster who is as clueless and dangerous as any raving madman ever was.
Skud, your “whataboutism “ is foolish to the moon. No other president in history sent his people to overthrow his own government, and in the process kill a cop, and threaten the life of his own Vice President and the Speaker of the House.
Anything else you say to try to make the Democrats look bad in this will be laughed into the next century. How sad it is that to this day you still don’t see the damage, shame, and horror Donald Trump brought on America.
Skidmark, You're right, it's not 159 million the orange blob wasted on golfing, it's closer to 152 million! You are welcome to post any proof you have that 'the media has agreed hands off' Biden. I certainly can't find it and nobody expects Faux Noise and the rest of the right wing biosphere to not attack each and every thing he says and does. Ya know, the bunch who cheered and made excuses for the blatant criminality of the right.
Go ahead and post your proof, if you will, thanks. I'll wait. . . . . . . . . . .
