    He sued voting at large

    It is racist he charged

    But not so for his Lancaster

  4. “Beecee says

    January 7, 2022 at 5:37 pm

    Yet no one to this date has been charged with insurrection”

    A timely demonstration of right wing propagandizing at work. Of course now our little deecee is standing on “well they haven’t been convicted yet” because denial is the only game in town for her anti-American kind.

    With eleven conspirators indicted the race will be on for “he who cooperates best gets sentenced the least,” so at this point barring a violent overthrow of the legitimate government so Trump can give them the pardons they expected they will eventually plead out, almost guaranteed. Right wing nutbags always go rat in the end. Courts grind slowly though, because they deal in facts, not shot from the hip reactions, so no doubt we will be subjected to a constant dripping of the new inanity.

      Uhhh yeah,
      No one to that date had been charged with insurrection,
      Your point.

      And now the political enforcement arm of the Democrat party has,
      so let’s wait for the out come like you always say for your local criminal friends.

      Relax Racheal and behold the failures and meltdown of the Democratic Party.

      It’s great to watch.

      • It illustrates the reality of your “arguments,” which is that you didn’t really care whether there have been indictments and you won’t care when there are convictions. You are so clearly opposed to the constitution that the overturning of representative democracy and installation of your chosen totalitarian leader is really your point. You are an anti-American slag and should be tossed onto a slag heap.

          Non of this garbage above occurred,
          So yeah I don’t care.

          I care about the gas prices,
          Empty shelves at the stores,
          Marxist teachers unions trying to vax and mask our children and shut down schools.
          A government constantly encroaching on individuals rights.
          Illegal immigrants getting treated better then legal citizens,
          Open borders.

          So you stick with your J6 narrative ‘MuH DeMoCrAcY’
          And I’ll stick with the dinner table issues that actually matter.

          See you in midterms captain America.

  5. Eleven people have been indicted for conspiring to violate constitutional authority and overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States. Their plan was thwarted mere feet from the US senate chambers where they intended to take hostages. They were stopped by law enforcement officers, some of whom lost their lives.

    Apparently in the right wing propaganda world of Fox News this is not newsworthy, as they have not reported on this at all.

    • I’ve been to the Capitol twice. To me it’s sacred and honored ground. Any whacked out QAnon and Proud Boy assw!pes that defiled it should be prosecuted, but not shot like Ashley Babbit. I thought they were more like ignorant, hyped-up clowns rather than organized insurrectionists. I didn’t think they were that smart. But I was still comatose from the election, so I tried hard not to pay attention to any news in January 2021. That senate election in Georgia happened 1-3 and I was in fetal position after that.

      I’m routinely mistaken for the QAnon shaman. It’s very annoying so I hope they hang the psychotic SOB.

      And in all fairness, the “summer of love” rioters should also be prosecuted.

      Regards my contrary friend. OK, now tell me what a misguided miscreant I am (but not as politely I assume, lol).

      • There were plenty of ignorant hyped up clowns. There were also organized groups that understood that if they could create a hostage situation and delay the certification of the electoral college votes long enough the constitution would devolve the selection of the president onto the house of representatives where their co-conspirators of the house GOP, led by McCarthy and including Mike Garcia, would overturn the election and install Trump. Those organized groups were “the tip of the spear” that led the rest of the rioters inside the building after overpowering the cops.

        As for Ashley Babbitt, that tip of the spear apparently included her, because until she was shot she was right at the point of attack, trying to breach the chamber where numerous members of congress were still present. By all indications if there had been no shooting they would have gotten through the door and gotten their hostages, and their plan would have succeeded and finished representative government in the United States, by force. That’s what was, and is, at stake. That’s the outcome that right wing crazies like our own little deecee are defending as “no big deal if it had happened, no action required.”

        And of course, as noted, the propaganda machine known as Fox News has had a right wing nutbag of the day on air every day for a year saying “if it was an insurrection why have all the arrests been for trespassing?” but now that the sedition charges are dropping they never mention it. I assume that through the next week the same nutbags will be on asking the same fake question, and our own deecee will just pretend that no indictment happened since Fox didn’t cover it.

        You I know aren’t stupid, but you are sadly uninformed, seemingly willingly.

  6. What a criminal enterprise the Republicans run.

    Republicans in 5 states drew up fraudulent state electors documents to replace the official electors and signed their names to the forged documents.

    The DOJ need to “Benghazi” those fools.

    Reply

    • Moving beyond the rubes and boobs that provided the protest cover, DOJ is on to indictments for sedition conspirators. Out of eleven Oathkeeper organizers how many will roll on the rest? Who will they name as their “inside men” among congressional Republicans and White House staff?

      As this continues to roll upward does anyone really believe that Trump, as their would be installed by force totalitarian leader, managed to keep his hands clean? “I was just the unknowing beneficiary of this plot to overthrow the government and install me into the leader position.” Is that an even vaguely believable claim?

      GOP donors and conservative PACs that provided the funding are gonna have a tough road too. “When we gave them hundreds of thousands of dollars it’s not like we actually checked into what they were up to” is also not the most credible claim.

      Reply

      • The post got removed…but nice denial. Based on your character there is no credibility in the denial though.

        Would our deecee do that? Why, yes, I believe so.

        Would our deecee then lie about it? No reason to think not.

    Yes, we can enjoy a black and white movie.

    Yes, we know good comedy without cuss words.

    Yes, we know the difference between a cassette and an 8-track tape. LOL

    So what?

    There’s something to be said for having lived through many changes over time and not acting like we just showed up on this planet and don’t know any history. See Beeceeehaha and Sonya aka Pu$$y. That’s why they are so bassackwards about things.

    We also knew some history from before we were born too. It’s useful so we don’t sound like fools.

            One of the things I liked about Seinfeld is obscure references to dated material.

            One time Kramer was speaking fake Spanish and ended by saying “Con Gleem.” I thought I was the only one in the country who remember a Gleem toothpaster commercial from the 60s all in Spanish and the little girl tells her mom at the end “Con Gleem”.

            There’s something to be said for having a memory longer than a few weeks. Again with Seinfeld, I remember when the Andrea Doria sank too. (Featured in an episode)

            That’s why with all the access to information and films on tv, millennials still seem so …so….simple regardless.

            Con Gleem.

          • Oh, that’s right. Chavez colluded with Dominion to rig the election or something.

            Keep up the good work, kiddo.

          • A new iteration of the “collusion delusion”, lol? Dems manufacture one made-up Trump crime and conspiracy crisis after another to traumatize the country because it’s all they have. No effective, productive policies. A vacuum of leadership. Graft and corruption (see Pelosi’s current inside trading scandal of $30 mil), Schiff and Swalwell lying to your face, etc.

            And Trump is no longer here, lol. But it takes the sheeps’ eyes off the ball of Biden’s catastrophic administration.

            OK, I feel better now and my meds are kicking in. Aloha.

  12. Beecee, FWB, and Sonya..

    You are so constantly upset by the true and verified results of an election that has been over for 14 months. The orange man lost and the old(er) guy won. I don’t understand how you can still be so upset and unaccepting of truth, proven by hundreds of teams other than libtard, left-leaning, RHINOs, and other assorted granola-eating wingnuts.

    But I have a solution that gives all of us all win.

    Move. Yep… that’s right. Hire a realtor, hang a sign in the front yard, mop the floors and dust the knick-knacks, and pack your stuff. The housing market is so hot, your place will be snapped up in no time, with a nice profit in your pocket.

    Then you can pick any red state and plop down those extra greenbacks. Do this before the capitol gains tax and the Infernal Revenue Stealers takes more than their fair share. Finding a job will be easy, seeing as how there are 10 million job openings across the country. No worries there!

    Unload those boxes, unfurl your MAGA flag, and head to the nearest NRA / Right to Life rally. You will find like-minded people who will agree with your opinions and chant “Let’s Go Brandon!” right alongside you.

    This about it! New place, new like-minded people with similar political ideology. You bring in new families to replace those who have fled the AV over the years, and help feed the economy of the AV by bringing in new revenue for ol’ Rex.

    It’s a win for everyone.

          • And just to add those media giants of the Left that have absolutely NO credibility in my eyes because of Russiagate and the phony impeachment include NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN (and all their sexual perverts), and so many more journalistic nincompoops I could go on and on, and………

            Ethical and principled journalism as we knew it is dead. I follow foreign media that doesn’t have a red or blue dog in the fight.

          • @America’s Most irrepressible Rascal

            Whatever your ‘news’ sources are, (you forgot Fox ‘news” and all its sexual perverts) you remain hopelessly misinformed, uninformed and maybe worse.

            Both impeachments were justified with evidence (unlike the 60 lawsuits Trump filed) and Trump wasn’t convicted because of a thoroughly corrupt Republican Party and its reps in the Senate.

            You do realize that more and more details are coming out about Trump’s intimate involvement with 1/6. His call to the Georgia SOS to find 11,000+ votes is a crime all by itself and there’s lots more to come.

            How could you be so naive? That Sonya aka Pu$$y believes that the election was stolen doens’t mean it was. She’s not the only deluded one.

          • Sir William the Conqueror:

            I don’t believe the election was stolen (although it depressed me for weeks) and I don’t want Trump to run again, so any legal trouble for him would open a door for a more electable candidate like governor Nikki Haley.

            Also, I would vote for South Carolina’s Tim Scott for president, and ours for mayor of the AV.

            Anything would be better than Comrade Bernie and O’crazio Cortex having any more power.

        • Eight times that there was NOT a certification of the presidential election, as called for by the US constitution, in progress. Eight times that there was NOT a premeditated effort by an outgoing president to thwart an election loss and retain office. Get the point yet you deecee?

          Reply

          • The election was a complete fraud on so many levels. However i do believe there are enough ignorant Americans to elect Brandon.

          • Evidence? I don’t really expect you to have any. With all the power of the presidency Trump failed to produce a single shred of evidence and got thrown out of court like fifty times, so I am pretty certain that some rando right wing nutjob poster won’t have any.

            TRUMP LOST.

            Plain and simple, his “I will be a president like we have never seen before…open to bribery, staffing by nepotism, stealing everything that isn’t tied down, golfing like Nero fiddled” approach was more than enough to get him summarily bounced. So he just plain lost. No fraud, despite his and your fevered imaginations. No ‘steal’ that had to be stopped. Just a result that he was set on avoiding at any cost to the country.

            And here we are with our local deecee trying to distract from the investigation into what lengths loser Trump and his co-conspirators went. That’s what’s happening.

          • I’m not distracting,

          • Have some hindsight.

            Democrats continue to accuse everyone of the very things they do themselves.

            Right out of the Prince’s play book.

  16. Dick Cheney, the former VP acknowledged by the Dems as the embodiment of evil for getting us into Iraq and Afghanistan needlessly to advance Haliburton’s profits, and was widely held up by Democrats as the architect of unnecessary wars, is now beloved by the Dems and invited to Jan. 6 hearings just because he hates Trump. He killed more Americans than anyone!

Differing on policies is a whole different world compared to “let’s do away with constitutional government altogether, yes or no?” Supporting Trump is a clear yes, and the current GOP supports Trump. Anyone who is an enemy of constitutional government needs to take a good look at themselves.
