Are you doing OK in the national emergency? Did the fact that Congress only appropriated some wall money stop you from living your life? In some ways it feels like it was before the emergency, but that can’t be right.

    It is like it was before the emergency. At least if you’re talking about one of the active national emergencies presidents have declared going all the way back to the Carter administration, Carl.

    It’s looking like the state board will have to order a new election in NC 9th. Very clear evidence of criminal fraud made public for the first time today. Given the scope and extent of the fraud, and the reluctance of the participants in the fraud to cooperate, it is likely the investigation will need much more time. To certify the results at this point would appear perverse and would do more harm to citizen support for a fair election process than a new election.

    Naturally, Republicans are outraged that a rigged election in favor of a racist minority of voters would be set aside in favor of a fair and democratic election. Because that’s who they are now.

    Yes. This really is “the status quo” of Republicans now.

    Seeing as how “I believe Putin” doesn’t reveal anything new about either the orange moron or Doctor Dumbfuck, I’ll go with this one.

    “‘Illegal and treasonous!’ Trump calls his own deputy AG a traitor in crazed early morning tweet”

    https://www.rawstory.com/2019/02/illegal-treasonous-trump-calls-deputy-ag-traitor-crazed-early-morning-tweet/

    And over on the Don’t-Tread-on-Us Facebook page, where grammar, spelling and logical coherence is the stuff of socialism, last week it was Paul Ryan who was branded a traitor. And Ann Coulter tweeted her way back onto the traitor list after having been briefly off it during the shutdown.

    While Rosenstein has long been one of their traitors, this morning they added Mike Wallace of Fox News.

    Apparently Lisa Britt, one of the subjects of the investigation is talking to law enforcement. Not only did they steal and alter ballots but they conspired to cover it up after initial reports became public.

    Election Fraud is real. And it doesn’t involve illegals voting or IDs or very loose name match on voter rolls.

    4,
    cuz Teh Dumbfuck was totally gonna vote for any other Democratic nominee, then, now, or evah.

    He’s all yours, Teh Dumbfuck. You are the Scotty P of these comment threads. Own it. Not only did you and 63 million liver spotted pill crushers vote for him, but over the past two years you’ve fallen head over heels in love with the whole boated, orange, fart-filled package of toddler torture, trade wars, massive deficits, plundered global security treaties, $15,000 desk sets, Tiki Torch parades, pregnant porn stars, pointless SHITDOWNS!!, and star lit perp-walks.

    @8 Just confirms for Trump what he already knew, i.e. he can’t trust anyone but Ivanka; and can’t be sure of her, either. After all, she comes from a family who were raised to throw their own mothers under the bus, so why not their father too?

    I’m heartily encouraged to know that devoted, hard-core Republicans like our trolls know more about who somebody named Jussie Smollett is than I ever will. Maybe it’s because I don’t watch television, at least not the way older folks like our trolls do. But I think it probably has more to do with the fact that, like their beloved PeePee President, apparently watching television is how they occupy a substantial portion of their time.

    Just imagine. Spending almost every moment of your youth and vigor forgoing social interactions, parties, ski weekends, spring break, keggers, BEACH WEEK!!!!!, dating, fucking and pouring yourself into two decades of sustained, disciplined sacrifice, hard work, and 90 hour sleepless work weeks for less than minimum wage debriding the unspeakably smelly ulcerated taints of filthy homeless people only to spend your well earned “retirement” watching television.

    I hope for their sake they store the guns and ammo separately.

    @13 Not to worry, no matter what the state board does, the House will never seat Harris unless he wins a new (and honest) election, which seems unlikely because only losers have to cheat in the first place.

    Fox News and their viewers have a new definition of Coup D’etat.

    When DOJ officials have a conversation about if the Vice President and a majority of The President’s appointed cabinet would deliver signed letters. to the Senate President Pro tempore requesting the removal of the President as unable to carry out his duties
    that conversation is a coup D’etat.

    Clearly Donald is out of office so…

    20,
    given how Republicans have opened the floodgates for abandoning political and now legal and constitutional norms (and statutes), I should think it wont be too long before we see one or both chambers refuse to seat a duly elected member simply in order to win a close vote.

    21,
    Overton window.
    Describe the world in those terms you would like to see come about. Talking about it now makes it easier to do it later.

    Believe me. Republicans have abandoned the concept of democratic government. They want no part of it. Much of the rhetoric promoted by companies like NewsCorp is an open criticism of the immediate results of the democratic process. Trump’s role and purpose is to help them move this country toward the future they envision where “the wrong people” are permanently deprived of any meaningful role in power or leadership.

    Maybe it’s because you don’t pay attention to the bandwagoning done by some major presidential contenders when the “news” of the attack first broke. They’re the ones now backtracking as quickly as they can.

    Cory Booker. Kamala Harris.

    And then there’s Nancy Pelosi, who deleted this January 29 tweet:

    “The racist, homophobic attack on [Smollett] is an affront to our humanity. No one should be attacked for who they are or whom they love.”

    When I first heard about the “attack” my first thought was that asswipe activist who claimed to have been attacked on Capitol Hill during Gay Pride week, when there should have been a lotta lotta lotta lotta people around to witness it. That was the silliest fucking thing and there’s absolutely no evidence that it occurred – the FBI was brought in to investigate the ‘hate crime’ and found nothing. Because there was nothing to find.

    Finally, apparently there isn’t a Trump-supporting MAGA’er alive who watches Empire. How the fuck would one of them know who the hell he is?

    Jussie Smollett is just the latest Peter Gleick.

    Someone so desperate to prove something that they resort to blatant dishonesty in their effort.

    The difference is Gleick didn’t do any damage to major Democrat presidential candidates when his fraud was exposed.

    Whining is a great presidential tradition.

    William Howard Taft seeking retribution for the comedy stylings of Gilbert and Sutherland.

    Eisenhower totally nailed it complaining about the barbs he endured from Sid Caesar and ‘Your Show Of Shows.’

    And who can forget the scathing rebuke Ronald Reagan delivered to the Cast of ‘Fridays”’

  28. 28

    “No one should be attacked for who they are or whom they love.”

    “Trump-supporting MAGA’er(s)” everywhere disagree, of course.

    Because this really is “the status quo” for Republicans now.
    —————————————-
    “…damage to major Democrat presidential candidates…”

    Yes, yes. And MAGATeen destroyed them all too, as I recall. As did Associate Justice Date Rape, #ALLLIVESMATTER, and #BUILDTHEWALL.

    Turns out, when you teach persuadable voters that “Grab ’em by the pussy” is Presidential leadership and “Jews Will Not Replace Us” is mere disagreement among “very fine people”, pretty much anything you can tweet they can forgive and in some cases even take on board. And very quickly too.

    “Last week the Tennessee Valley Authority voted to close the 49-year-old Paradise Fossil Unit 3 coal-fired generating plant in western Kentucky, citing operating costs, the need for repairs and ‘flat to declining’ load. The board’s 5-2 vote came despite appeals from Trump to keep the plant and others like it open. …

    “Joining Trump in his calls to save the plant were Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell and the state’s governor, Matt Bevin, both Republicans. Both cited concerns for the … mines who count the facility as one of their primary buyers. …

    “Complicating the Paradise plant closing is that its primary supplier of coal is a company owned by Robert Murray, a major Republican donor and Trump supporter.”

    Republicans are hypocrites. They have no values but greed
    “Trump supporters literally don’t care if they’re seen as hypocrites. They don’t see it as a bad thing, they see it as “winning.” If they’re getting something they want and others are stuck with the bill, that’s a victory for them, and it’s not a bad thing.”

    Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris stammered when asked by reporters Monday about the recent claims that Jussie Smollett may have staged his alleged attack.
    “.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate,” Harris tweeted on Jan. 29.
    Many other Democrats rushed to support Smollett following the alleged attack. Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Democratic Reps. Maxine Waters of California, Nancy Pelosi of California and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, among others, all issued statements condemning the alleged hate crime.
    Pelosi deleted her sympathetic tweet about Smollett on Sunday evening.

    Police made more than ten million arrests last year. That’s one new arrest about every three seconds. Yet fewer than 5% of those were for violent offenses. And more than half of those arrests were later dismissed or declined by prosecutors. Low level, non-violent, “contempt of cop” charges dominate all other arrests in the US. Carrying out arrests that never advance to criminal trials, or criminal pleas consumes more public resources than almost any other police activity. These kinds of arrests ruin people’s lives, mostly young people, mostly poor people, mostly people of color.

    Far fewer than half of all crime victims make reports to the police. And of all crimes that actually are reported, police manage to clear or solve fewer than 25%. Arrests only figure in 10 to 12 percent of all crime. Accounting for the very high percentage of arrests that are declined or dismissed it is very reasonable to assume that many of the arrests that police do make are manufactured.

    Police are incredibly expensive. Their salaries, benefits, training, equipment, facilities, support, and oversight consumes the biggest single budget catagory for most cities. They hurt themselves, each other, and the bystanding public at an alarming rate unlike any other class of public servant.

    “”The racist, homophobic attack on [Smollett] is an affront to our humanity. No one should be attacked for who they are or whom they love.””

    I too thought it was bullshit from the start, as many gay people have probably felt too from the beginning. I was skeptical but wanted to trust BUT VERIFY. But what Bob wants to do here is take one, two or three or four or even five examples to discredit the fact the any such real homophobic attacks occur. Not to mention that many white people have been embarrassingly fallen under the same circumstances, claiming to be attack by a black person and it not being true.

    So Bob, crow all you want. And if anything, your crowing about it will only lead or incite to violence against gay people, when this was a double gay/black thing. That is your true goal here isn’t you fuck?

    The guy needs to come clean, apologize, and be tossed out of Hollywood or where they make the fucking movie.

    And you should either shut the fuck up or answer for all the white people that have lied about being beaten by a black person. After all you say you stand up for Puffy and he is a friend….bullshit. Bob – simply put, you are scum.

    I know others or many here have called out Bob for being homophobic among other things, but I really thought he wasn’t but just being a jerk. But I guess I am wrong – Bob truly is a homophobe that doesn’t believe in freedom. Not the freedom to lie. But deep down this whole Jussie thing is really showing his true colors.
