the perfectly American thing to do. (It isn't by any sane or legal-minded person's reasoning.)
America now has a pseudo-political party that condones riots, deadly violence, beating law enforcement officers, defacing, wrecking, and destroying federal property, and terrorizing U.S. Senators and Representatives because they believe in a BIG LIE! And the Big Liar, Donald J. Trump, who told it.
The one-time GOP is now officially a lawless, rogue, and illegitimate gang of thugs disguised as a political party.
Today they labeled themselves as anti-democracy hooligans who condone rioting, mahem, and sedition to stay in power.
The Republican / GOP no longer exists in America. It may continue to call itself that, but we know that's a lie. A more honest name for the former Republican / GOP is the TrumpOrban Party.
G.O.P. Declares Jan. 6 Attack ‘Legitimate Political Discourse’
"The Republican National Committee voted to censure Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for participating in the inquiry into the deadly riot at the Capitol."
"It was an extraordinary statement about the deadliest attack on the Capitol in 200 years, in which a mob of Mr. Trump’s supporters stormed the complex, brutalizing police officers and sending lawmakers into hiding. Nine people died in connection with the attack and more than 150 officers were injured. The party passed the resolution without discussion and almost without dissent."

When the Republican Party declares a coup attempt to be "Legitimate Political Discourse," it is implying that totalitarianism is a legitimate form of government for America. Those of us who still believe in the Constitution and that our country should remain a democracy must stand up against this.
Tough to keep up. Now apparently Tourist Visits are seen as legit political discourse.
Beating cops is legit political discourse.
Threatening the hang the Vice President and kill the Speaker of the House is legit political discourse.
And defacing the Capitol, breaking and entering and rioting are legit political discourse.
Interesting times...
On a more sarcastic point, I guess all those ANTIFA and BLM protestors need not worry about jail or bad public opinion within the GOP, because they too were participating in legitimate political discourse.
At least as defined by the RNC...
Amazing how that is called “ political discourse” except for the part attributed to Antifa and BLM. The repub party now proudly boasts of itself as being not just racist but full on delusional.
I had a visit from "Johnny Knows Best" today. I can always tell when one of your "fans" drops by. It's always a rant about democrats and has nothing to do with my post for that day. 🙂
Really, the right for ALL sentient beings to live free from government oppression through government authority is universal. But, we can only control our own country. Given the slim majority of US citizens still want a democrattic reublic that slim majority sure as hell better be ready to die for it. Because the minority sure as hell are ready to enslave the rest of us.
Mike I'm sorry the trolls who follow me are bothering you. The best thing to do is delete on sight! That's what I do. I've have this problem for over 10 years. I used to run this blog without "comment moderation," but their behavior forced me into it.
Most of the trolls come from a far right blog where the average IQ is the same as a potato.
Mike... that's cause most of them can't read.
Or write.
Or even think for the most part.
And Trump is a "legitimate businessmen", like Al Capone.
Jonathan Chait wrote this in October 2016:
"Trumpism is the long historical denouement of a party that has come to see American democracy as rigged. And what one does to a rigged system is destroy it."

If he only knew how prophetic he was...
Most people don't realize it yet, but they will soon. Our democracy is over.
Who's fault?
- The Republicans. They've become a violent cult that supports an authoritarian.
- And, of course, the Democrats. For not doing enough to stop it.

“Legitimate political discourse” does not describe what I saw on January 6th. I’ve been
@gop
since the day I turned 18, but I’m out today. I love my country & liberty too much to abide either of the major parties’ nonsense.
Republicans went from calling January 6 a false flag operation by Antifa, to saying it’s being talked about too much, to now officially declaring it “legitimate political discourse” by “ordinary citizens.”
The rhetorical flow of false bulksh*t coming out of the lying republican party is ony going to intensify. We, as a culture are slowly being conditioned to accet any and all bullsh*t the authoritarian bastards feed us. Well, this patrioe says GO SCREW YOURSELVES
