The threat of armed protests fizzles... for now / in 2 days, Biden/Harris will be inaugurated

Good morning!

Today is Monday, January 18th, 2021.

In yesterday's posting (also on the day before), I wrote about some weird monkey-business at the NSA dealing with DOD. Well, it looks as if the NSA has indeed installed a Trump lackey as attorney for the NSA. However, should it end up that he failed to take his lie-detector test (which is what was holding this up, because the turdball refused to do so), then Biden can simply fire him, but it takes more effort to do so as it is a civil-servant position. Nonetheless, this Trumpian-Battle-of-the-Bulge brought Trump very little.

Until now, there have been no more attempts at armed insurrection. Some MAGA weirdos gathered at the capitol building in Ohio, but apparently, nothing bad happened. I suppose that wannabe domestic terrorists, upon hearing that other MAGA domestic terrorists have already been collared by the FBI, are having second thoughts about what they plan to do.

Freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R), a gun-toting Q-loving wild thing from the Island of misfit toys, who plans to submit articles of impeachment against President Biden right away on January 20th because she thinks she is oh so cool, has been booted from Twitter for 12 hours for writing all sorts of whackadoodle crap and swearing like a sailor at the elections officials in Georgia. She is.... not well in the head, I would surmize....

Today, Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris will tender her resignation from the US Senate. Usually, in such circumstances, there is a goodbye speech, but since the Senate is first meeting on January 19th, I don't know if that is going to happen.

Also, outgoing Pres. Trump is said to be planning to release his final list of pardons/commutations on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021. More than 100 names are expected to be on the list. It will be interesting to see if he is foolish enough to want to pardon himself. He is well within his right to pardon people other than himself, although literally every single of of his pardons has been more than ethically and morally questionable. However, since the Republican Party is in no way the Party of morals or ethics (or national security or honesty or empathy for the American people or fiscal responsibility) these days, I suppose it doesn't matter any more. It should be noted that at the end of his 8 years in office, Bill Clinton also passed out some very questionable pardons, which has had the Right screaming FOUL! (and rightfully so) ever since, but since Trump is doing it, the Right is like:



Surely there is a lot going on behind the scenes, a lot of it very, very nasty, but in the fullness of time, just like turning over a rock and watching 1,000s of insects scurry away from the sunlight, we shall know all that happened.

DC is still on full-lockdown in preparation for Wednesday, but the good news is:

in 2 days from today, on January 20th, 2021, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. and Kamala Devi Harris will be sworn-in as our Republic's 46th President and 49th Vice-President, respectively.

Yup.

All of those protests fizzled (miserably).

Just one example:

Lansing protest over the presidential election proves to be a dud

https://www.freep.com/story/news/lo...tol-protest-presidential-election/4199510001/

Bottom Line:

Nobody Cares about Trump anymore.
Trump is IRRELEVANT.
The Entire World is laughing at Trump's IMBECILIC "We Wuz Robbed" BS.

Trump's relevance has taken such a hit, that when it comes to people showing up for Pro-Trump Protests:

Trump couldn't draw flies to a public toilet, even if he offered free haircuts.

TRUMP = IRRELEVANT

Bye Bye Donnie...

Don't let the Door Hitya where Lord Splitya...

 

Patriotic Americans have (wisely, imo) opted to avoid giving the deep state the opportunity to provacateur more violence for the biased and misleading TV cameras.

The fact that you think there was any 'armed insurrection' is sadly humorous. Should there be a (God forbid) actual armed insurrection, you'll realize how silly it was to equate this with it.

 

Excuse me, but nobody "provacateur"ed those frothing at the mouth, red maga cap wearing, treacherous, traitorous, murderous insurrectionsts into storming the capitol, killing two cops, ransacking the Capitol building, stealing government property, literally defacating on the floors of the Capitol building, threatening to murder both Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi and beating the living hell out of a number of capitol cops as well. Those TV cameras did not mislead. They informed. And a helluva lot of those redhat mental-midgets are going to be doing 3 hots and a cot for say, up to 20 years.

 

You're not excused. Are you prepared to state that you actually believe there were no agents, be they free or otherwise, disguising themselves as Trump supporters and engaging in crime to both incite and demonize their political opposition? None at all? Because such a statement would be inexcusably ignorant.

 

I am prepared to state I don't believe in a premise unsupported by facts. If you are prepared to produce the names of these 'agents' and the evidence behind your allegations associated with them, tying them directly to the Capital insurrection of course I am obliged to entertain your evidence based allegation.

Its time for people like you to understand, that just coming up with a politically expedient conspiracy theory, you have not legitimized the existence of a conspiracy.

 

Just because it was silly and ineffectual doesn't mean it wasn't there nor that the people doing it didn't truly HATE the nation that has given them life. Even

 

Or they hate what the nation that 'has given them life' is becoming... surely you can understand the difference and that a good thing can be ruined or turned into a bad thing...

 

What are we becoming?

 

Authoritarian, collectivist, dependent, domesticated, uniform and passified.

 

Why do you think that? Just one will do to start.

 

Wow, so much animus for a President who actually accomplished a great deal. Your are riding upon a wave of hate, generated by political lies. Dismount.

 

Just one? Gun control is first on my list.

Its authoritarian for all the same reasons that the war on drugs is authoritarian. There is no more legitimate reason to tell me I can't have a semi-automatic rifle than there is to tell me I can't have marijuana.

Its dependent because I'm supposed to depend on the authorities for my own personal protection instead of myself.

Its domesticated because guns are too dangerous- why, I could hurt myself or others. Too risky. We must eliminate risk.

Its uniform. All the other nations have banned guns, so we must as well, to be more like them.

Its passive. Its not our responsibility to help keep the peace in our communities, leave that to the 'professionals'.

 

"Excuse me" is a common idiomatic phrase used in English, also in US-American English. If you do not know this, then you can educate yourself. It's not really your job to excuse me or not, but as usual with the Trumpsuckers of the world, you get all personal instead of sticking to the topic at hand. Tsk, tsk.

Sure, I am prepared to state that there were no agents of any importance that may have embedded themselves in with the armed, insurrectionistic MAGA mob. Nobody disguised himself, to my knowledge, as a Trumpsucker. However, surely you are going to come up with a really cool OANN or Newmax or Freeper article that is just sooooo sure that there were "lefties" who infiltrated those MAGA turds just to make them look bad. LOL.

Unfortunately for you, each time the FBI collars one of these goons, it ends up that that are most definitely 100% Trumpsuckers, they admit it quite freely and then say that they were acting at his behest and then they literally beg him for a pardon.

So, yeah, you go with that one, because I never get in the way of someone and his or her inexcusable ignorance, nöööö.

I realize that you are upset. Were I a Trumpsucker, I would be upset, too. Upset at having been lied to by the man more than 30,000 times. But hey, you be you and I will be me!

 

There is no Federal law saying you can't have a semi-automatic rifle. There is no real law saying you can't have a fully automatic rifle, that is, a machine gun. You have to pay a tax stamp and not be a convicted felon or mental patient but that's the same for most all guns that aren't historic. My cousin sells these fully automatic guns btw. The main barrier to most all people who want one is the cost.

There is no law saying you can't use a firearm in your personal defense

Guns are dangerous, if you have one it is your obligation to keep us reasonably safe from it.

If you want to keep your community safe that is commendable. You need to do so legally however.

You're able to buy just about any gun you might want in this country and use it in almost any way you please that doesn't involve some other sort of criminal activity, such as murder robbery, or mayhem. Just what do you WANT in regard to guns anyway?

 

What with all this faux umbrage among Trump supporters that yes, Trump supporters engaged in an illegal, murderous, seditionist coup attempt at the Capitol Building on January 6th, 2021, thus leaving a black mark on Trumpism forever, I am considering opening up a hall of shame for the MAGA freaks each time they get collared, for instance, this full loser:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...live-updates/#link-K42CEF7MIZFU5CSKBJPHQN3JTA

You know, I am thinking to myself that this sick dude is not, I repeat, is not a Leftist.



Rioter Guy Reffitt threatened to shoot kids if they talked to FBI (nypost.com)

Such a nice guy. MAGA!!! MAGA!!! MAGAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

 

15 states prohibit the possession and sale of machine guns. Are state laws not "real"?

 

I thought the article title meant he threatened some "random" kids that may have known about his trip to D.C. He threatened his OWN kids!

Then, there is Riley June Williams whose ex turned her in for stealing a laptop during the riot.

I wonder how many relationships are being destroyed by Trump's push to riot.

He leaves a trail of bodies in his wake. That's for sure.

 

I guess TV is reality for some folks. ...whadyagonnado.

 

Keep the laws as they are now.

If the new admin does not push to further restrict the 2A, i'll eat my words, but no real harm done. How likely do you think all their promises about AWBs and ending online sales and etc are just bluster? Why would they fake that? Sell more guns?

 

I've just read Biden's Guns policy and with some exceptions, it does just that. It ADDS some laws but I see that as mainly helping to ENFORCE the laws we have now, which I understand most gun advocates support

https://go.joebiden.com/page/st/joi..._fg-JS0trtoFoubh61qjtEM9a9X9DH08FdCXDhzpuy3z8

 

Heller upheld State/local laws on guns as Constitutional as long as they don't prohibit guns entirely.

 

"biased and misleading TV cameras" ???? So you contend that TV cameramen made up the videos of what was taking place?

Why would they have to when the brain dead traitorous DOPES filmed themselves committing felonies and treason??

Did you think THEY made up those videos !!!!


LOLOLOL...

 

Re:

Thank you.
Apparently I'm not the only one who has noticed how MSM & Democrats attempt to inflate the severity of the Capitol riot by regarding a brief, "mainly peaceful" take over of part of the Capital as an "armed insurrection"

In the innumerable times I have watched scenes of the riot I have not seen any type of firearm displayed by any of the rioters. During the temporary and partial take over of the Capitol the only shots fired were those lethal shots fired by Capitol Police.

Repeatedly in "the News" I have listened to one Democratic politician after another recall the terror they felt as their taxpayer funded place of business was partially vandalized and I can only hope that they envisioned the true terror and despair felt by earlier victims of far deadlier and more destructive BLM-Antifa riots that these same Democratic politicians aided and abetted.

The tragic incident of January 6 may have been many things but it was not an "armed insurrection" and perhaps the same politicians who felt terror then can better empathize with the victims of their supporters.
