Traitor Lap Dog Lindsey Gramham, in an interview Newsmax says that unless McConnell starts working with the Traitor, McConnell will tossed out of leadership within Republican Senate Caucus.

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/linds ... d/1052255/.

A certain member of this forum has previously written that he did not believe that Graham, the Senator this member votes for, ever said something like that.

If you do not suck to the Traitor, you're out. That is what Graham said. Not that the member in question would ever believe that.

So does this clown think he's going to be Speaker or Minority Leader? Is that what he's after?

Lindsey Graham is obviously compromised. Trump’s MO has always been blackmail. Graham hated Trump until that day he was summoned to the golf course. Since then he’s been Trump’s biggest bootlicker. Voting for Graham is full on support for Donald Trump.

U.S. judge hands down 44-month sentence for Capitol rioter who assaulted police

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. judge on Thursday imposed a 44-month prison sentence on a man who pleaded guilty to a felony charge after throwing objects at police during last year's attack on the U.S. Capitol and boasting about his actions on social media.

The defendant, Nicholas Languerand, has been jailed since his arrest in April in South Carolina and will receive credit for time served.

CBP unit that spied on journalists and lawmakers is monitoring American protesters

The controversial unit of Customs and Border Protection that trawled through the travel and financial records of journalists and lawmakers is still monitoring Americans, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News.

The Counter Network Division, a part of CBP’s National Targeting Center, monitored U.S. citizens in the run-up to the anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol and in the days and weeks after, according to bulletins produced by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis this month.

Federal Judge Bucks Prosecutors, Jails California Man Who Mailed 75 Racist Death Threats To Anti-Traitor Politicians.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/01/28/ ... liticians/.

SAN FRANCISCO — In a rare rebuke of prosecutors, a federal judge handed down a jail sentence to a California man who spent some four years sending dozens of racist death threats on personalized, handmade postcards, court records show.

Michael Anthony Gallagher, 71, pleaded guilty last August to mailing a threatening postcard to Rep. Maxine Waters, signed “KKK,” but his crimes from 2016 to 2020 went well beyond that single offense. The U.S. Department of Justice argued a one-year probation term, and no jail, was a sufficient consequence.

But at the December sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg decided to jail Gallagher for four months, according to a minute order of the hearing. Gallagher was ordered to report to the Bureau of Prisons by the first week of March to begin his sentence.

Federal court, compared to California’s justice system, gives judges immense leeway in determining sentences. They are given general sentencing guidelines and tasked with finding a term “sufficient, but not greater than necessary,” but aren’t bound by either side. Still, most judges in the Northern District of California will settle on a sentence between what both parties are asking; it’s rare for a judge to go beyond what prosecutors seek.

Georgia D.A. Investigating The Traitor Asks The F.B.I. For Security Help.

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump ... 21e7fe66ca

TLANTA (AP) — The prosecutor who’s investigating whether Donald Trump and others broke the law by trying to pressure Georgia officials to overturn Joe Biden’s presidential election victory is asking the FBI for security help after the former president railed against prosecutors investigating him.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Sunday wrote a letter to the FBI office in Atlanta asking for a risk assessment of the county courthouse and government center. She also asked the FBI to provide protective resources, “to include intelligence and federal agents.”

Willis last year opened an investigation into any potential attempts to improperly influence the 2020 general election in Georgia by Trump and his associates. A special grand jury is set to be seated May 2 to aid in that investigation and Willis asked the FBI to take the steps she requested well in advance of that date.

How the Capitol attacks helped spread Christian nationalism in the extreme right - RNS
For many in the right-wing extremist fringe, Christian nationalism is becoming a shared language.

When supporters of former President Donald Trump rallied near the White House on Jan. 6 of last year, a boisterous pocket of young men waving “America First” flags broke into a chant: “Christ is King!” It was one of the first indications that Christian nationalism would be a theme of the Capitol attack later that day, where insurrectionists prayed and waved banners that read “Proud American Christian.”

It also announced the presence of followers of Nick Fuentes, a 23-year-old white nationalist and former YouTube personality who was subpoenaed this month by the U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the Capitol attack. (Though a person holding a flag reading “America First” — Fuentes’ personal brand — was among the first to barrel into the Senate chamber during the insurrection, there is no evidence Fuentes entered the Capitol himself.)

“Christ is King” is not controversial in itself: The phrase is rooted in Christian Scripture and tradition. But Fuentes’ supporters have given it a different connotation. They have chanted it at anti-vaccine protests and the anti-abortion March for Life, some of them holding crucifixes aloft. It was heard in March, at an America First conference, where Fuentes delivered a speech saying America will cease to be America “if it loses its white demographic core and if it loses its faith in Jesus Christ.” Fuentes also declared the country “a Christian nation.”
Any appeal to Christian nationalist views, said Anthea Butler, chair of the department of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, can embolden extremists by giving the appearance — even unintentionally — of an “alliance” with church leaders.

Butler pointed to a November speech by U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops President Archbishop José Gomez. The prelate, who has condemned racism and the insurrection, warned that America has lost its “story” — namely, one “rooted in a biblical worldview and the values of our Judeo-Christian heritage” that “underwrote America’s founding documents.”
White conservatives seek to destroy everything in their path and everyone they come in contact with. Jan. 6th was just one more recent example.

And the media and the committee and the DOJ seem to be in no rush.

Too bad, because we are running out of fucking time.


https://www.salon.com/2022/01/31/has-se ... eep-on-it/
Last week, committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin told Dean Obeidallah in a Salon Talks interview that the planned hearings have been pushed back to "later in the spring, April or May more likely." Raskin blamed the delay on people like Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows for doing the "hokey pokey." Meadows, who has been refusing to cooperate, received a referral for contempt of Congress in December. Democrats are not rising to the moment. It's been seven weeks and Meadows still has not been arrested by Biden's Department of Justice.

The New York Times Is Reporting That The Traitor Had A Role In Weighing Proposals To Seize Voting Machines.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/31/us/p ... hines.html.

Six weeks after Election Day, with his hold on power slipping, President Donald J. Trump directed his lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, to make a remarkable call. Mr. Trump wanted him to ask the Department of Homeland Security if it could legally take control of voting machines in key swing states, three people familiar with the matter said.

Mr. Giuliani did so, calling the department’s acting deputy secretary, who said he lacked the authority to audit or impound the machines.

Mr. Trump pressed Mr. Giuliani to make that inquiry after rejecting a separate effort by his outside advisers to have the Pentagon take control of the machines. And the outreach to the Department of Homeland Security came not long after Mr. Trump, in an Oval Office meeting with Attorney General William P. Barr, raised the possibility of whether the Justice Department could seize the machines, a previously undisclosed suggestion that Mr. Barr immediately shot down.

The new accounts show that Mr. Trump was more directly involved than previously known in exploring proposals to use his national security agencies to seize voting machines as he grasped unsuccessfully for evidence of fraud that would help him reverse his defeat in the 2020 election, according to people familiar with the episodes.

Jan. 6 select committee subpoenas phone records of Arizona GOP chair

The Jan. 6 select committee has subpoenaed the phone records of Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward and her husband, Michael Ward, who both signed documents falsely claiming to be among their state’s presidential electors in 2020.

The Wards filed suit Tuesday against the House panel in federal court in Arizona seeking to block the couple’s phone provider, T-Mobile, from sharing their records with the committee. The lawsuit was initially assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Susan Brnovich — the wife of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, who is running for Senate and is an ally of former President Donald Trump — but she quickly recused herself from the matter.

If the Democrats don’t shape up, Biden’s presidency will lead to a Trumpian sequel
How should one feel about the first year of the Biden presidency?

I can’t really say I’m disappointed, since I didn’t have high hopes going into it. But I do feel dread. This last year has felt a bit like being trapped in a nail-biting intermission between two horror films. The opening instalment consisted of Donald Trump’s first four years in office – it ended with the cliffhanger of a deadly plague and a surreal, poorly executed, but still terrifying ransacking of the Capitol. The sequel practically writes itself, as the man ascends to power a second time, even more emboldened and determined to hold on to power.......
Kind of reminds me of this one from 2019 at 2:30

https://youtu.be/K4j8XUjGOCM?t=148
......For decades, senior Democrats tacked rightward, helping to create the social conditions that Trump and his cronies took advantage of to propel themselves to the White House. Instead of rolling back Reaganism and standing up to a swiftly radicalising conservative base, the party elite helped implement and further entrench an undemocratic, corporate agenda. Democratic functionaries slashed welfare, invested in the military and policing, deregulated the financial sector, increased fossil fuel production and lobbied for disastrous international trade deals.

The people who did this are Biden’s natural milieu – and they want Americans to believe their problems began in 2016. Establishment Democrats are desperate to paint Donald Trump and the Covid-19 pandemic as aberrations to an otherwise agreeable status quo. Thus a speedy “return to normal” is all it will take to cure what ails us.

The problem, however, is that “normal” was a crisis.......

More shit cons here support


New memos obtained by The New York Times reveal the Trump campaign was attempting to buy more time to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election. Meanwhile, a memo obtained by The Washington Post suggests Trump allies planned to use NSA data in an attempt to show foreign powers meddled in the election to help Biden win. Former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade explains this could possibly result in a "very serious conspiracy charge." Aired on 02/03/2022.
https://youtu.be/hrjqduyfcxY

If a Democrat did ONE ONE THOUSANDTH of this the cons here HEADS WOULD explode.

This is why it is NOT an exaggeration to say cons HATE democracy. Because they do, they want a dictator to take their house and cars and have them live like they do in Russia; but cons are dumb, while they do support Putin over Biden and America, they dont know that life in Russia is real bad.

Dumb fucks...

GOP official position now is the attackers, the killers of Jan 6 were engaged in

legitimate political discourse



https://www.businessinsider.com/rnc-ron ... rse-2022-2

Anyone who is GOP now considers it legitimate political discourse when you are beaten to death or shot if you want votes to be counted.

Anyone want to call this an exaggeration now?

The RNC chair specifically told reporters, "We've had two members engage in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse."

Cons, including those HERE want us DEAD if we insist on the person with the most votes wins. I hope everybody GETS THAT NOW :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Not that long ago I took HEAPS of shit for saying MAGA could kill 5000 of us and justify it. GRRRRRRRRRRR

Conservative whites literally got away with MURDER of people just trying to register.

This wasn't that long ago, and well within the lifetimes of most people on this board.

To this very day, the same types call an insurrection a "riot" and book-banning "democracy" and "liberty."

Capitol riot defendant: I'll call Trump to testify at trial

WASHINGTON — An Ohio man charged with obstruction for his role in the Capitol riot told a federal judge Friday he intends to call former President Donald Trump as a witness.

Dustin Thompson, 36, is under federal indictment on six counts with co-defendant Robert Lyon for entering the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6. While inside, prosecutors say Thompson took a wooden coat rack as a “trophy.”

In scrutinizing Trump, Jan. 6 panel adopts prosecution tactics

The House select committee scrutinizing the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol is borrowing techniques from federal prosecutions, employing aggressive tactics typically used against mobsters and terrorists as it seeks to break through stonewalling from former President Donald Trump and his allies and develop evidence that could prompt a criminal case.

In what its members see as the best opportunity to hold Trump and his team accountable, the committee — which has no authority to pursue criminal charges — is using what powers it has in expansive ways in hopes of pressuring Attorney General Merrick Garland to use the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute them.
