The conservative group who organized, recruited, and promoted KILL HIM WITH HIS OWN GUN!!! back in January are throwing a party over the weekend starting tomorrow down at the FailPresident’s Florida golf course.
Women for America First, currently under investigation by the FBI for their role in the Fur Bikini Attack on The Capitol are doing it again with their “Save America Summit”. The show will feature all-expenses-paid guest spots for Rand Paul, Louie Gohmert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene to rekindle “Stop the Steal”, promote election fraud lies, and perhaps even re-animate the corpse of Hugo Chavez.
But the biggest draw will undoubtedly be Matt Gaetz who will be spotlighted center stage over the weekend as the Keynote speaker.
Gaetz’s talk is slated to include a multimedia presentation on multiple Jumbotrons featuring “exciting photos” of some of the Florida Congressman’s most recent “accomplishments” as well as some awesome swag!

Wherein Tara argues vehemently that Murican “conservatism” is being systematically thumbed into submission and defeat by a turnip.
As credible as arguing that the same “turnip” went knuckle deep through control top pantyhose in the busiest most crowded corridor in North America in the middle of a workday without a single witness.
“Glass. George Glass.”

Feel free to have the First Vegetable argue otherwise.
Perhaps in a 2021 SOTU address, already two months overdue.

If you don’t already know the state the union then you are one dumb idiot. The 24-hour news cycle, tweets, and other social media have rendered that event nearly useless.
Besides, your beloved tyrant Fat Donny basically put an end to it when he urged his followers to march the the Capitol and wage an insurrection.
Why on earth give those traitors another shot with the three branches in one spot? Oh yeah, that is probably what you really, deep down inside, truly desire.
Declining to assemble 535 members of Congress, the full membership of the Supreme Court, 23 of 24 Executive cabinet secretaries, the Vice President, all their staffs, most of the Secret Service protective detail, as well as honored guests gathered together in a single crowded room for a doomsday superspreader event proves that…
…Jan really does have a boyfriend.
Don’t stop now, Tara. You’re on a roll!
Follow up for Tara:
Just curious, did your fake “FB friends in CO” get any fake complications from their fake “second shot”?
Sore arm?
Something worse perhaps?
It’s just a damn shame you fucked that up. You could have deployed the fake “FB friends in CO” for months. Now you don’t even dare mention them.
Yeah, I fucked that up. I should live in shame forever because of it.
My second shot later this week. Y’all can always pray for an anaphylactic reaction.

What would be priceless is to have Biden have Hillary join his cabinet and make her the “designated survivor.” If Hillary was the DS, that would give them a real dilemma.
Just think, wipe out the leadership and then Hillary becomes the first female POTUS. Get some popcorn and watch Dr. Dumbfuck’s head explode.
I intend to see to it.
I’ll pray for a “Manitou”.

Name Hillary DS and suddenly not only does opposition to funding Capitol Police disappear, but Republicans get behind DC statehood, and sweeping gun control. And Amy Kremer, Ali Alexander, Roger Stone, Don Jr. and every TeaPatriot/FurBikini militia in the US gets locked up.
In 2012 Colorado and Washington became the first two states to pass laws legalizing recreational cannabis. In July of 2014 Washington State issued its first retail licenses to sell recreational cannabis.
Today, just six and a half years later more than 40% of Americans live in a state where recreational cannabis is legal.
This was once a big “conservative” culture-wars issue. For many “conservatives” it still is, although most prefer not to talk about it. Because two-thirds of voters support legal recreational cannabis. And nearly half of Republican voters support legal recreational cannabis.
“Conservatives” put themselves squarely on the wrong side of the issue. They did so because doing so had solid short-term benefits to them. It pleased cops, prosecutors, and private industrial prison corporations who relied upon cheap and easy cannabis convictions. It pleased evangelical Christian political organizers like Jerry Falwell, Jr. and his lovely wife Becki. But mostly it reassured their aging, declining, increasingly all-white “conservative” base that they could still count on a world in which one in three of all African American males would be sent to prison.
Yet backed by that all-white base, those cops, prosecutors, and jailers, and more than a few suburban white Democrats, “conservatives” were convinced they had it right. They were (and some still are) unshakable in their opposition to recreational cannabis, or even medical cannabis. It was “conservative” orthodoxy they happily shouted from the rooftops.
But the change happened fast and it overwhelmed them. In less than a decade they found themselves completely back-footed on the issue. They can no longer campaign on it. They can no longer raise funds on it. And most have to hope it does not appear on a ballot in their state alongside their own names.
It’s important to keep these kinds of examples in mind whenever you see a “conservative” digging in to any culture-wars issue. They always get this shit wrong, at least in the long run. And anymore, “the long run” is barely more than a single term in the Senate.

@2 It’s safe to pick the hairs out of your ass again — something you’ve been doing here all along.
@5 Show me a Republican who’s “serious” and I’ll show you a former Republican.
Today’s GOP is the party of QAnon, Pizzagate, school shooting and global warming denial, Covid-19 denial, election loss denial, violent insurrection, and every conspiracy theory you can think of plus others you’d never have thought possible.
An unserious party.

They’ve actually never been a “serious” party.
Here’s one of them from just over a decade ago “seriously” arguing that Mitt Romney’s wealthy Mormon semen will make all the ladies wet:
https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2012/08/27/boss/
Same Republican today “seriously” thinks too many of “the wrong people” vote:

Sound familiar? Here’s why:
“Problems arise when everyone, even stupid people, are allowed to vote.”
Get just the right amount of Sour Mash or cheap beer into one of them and “stupid” becomes “black” in no time.
Put simply, they are the Dunning Kruger party. And that’s no joke.
“The new group is one of several launched in recent weeks by former aides of President Donald Trump. Shunned by corporate big money gigs, they are instead opening their own shops and embracing Trump’s legacy as they seek to capitalize on his continued popularity with the Republican base.”

@32 A MAGA rioter high on meth? Who would’ve guessed? Also this:
“Dr. Francisco Diaz, the chief medical examiner, also announced the causes of death for three others who died during the siege. Army vet Ashli Babbitt, 35, died from a gunshot to the left shoulder.”
Which tells me the LE officer who shot at her point-blank range was trying to not kill her.

Which tells me the LE officer who shot at her point-blank range was trying to not kill her.
Yes, ’cause that’s how all LE officers are trained.
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, given all of the criticism you have leveled against LE, what it should have told you is that he fired at her center mass from a distance of maybe 10 feet, and was about 1.5 feet off the mark.
You’re a fucking clown, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. One would think that after your moronic Fleeing Felon analysis you wouldn’t be so quick to weigh in again on firearms usage.
@42 IOW you’re accusing the cop of being such a lousy shot he couldn’t hit center-mass from 10 feet away.
Yup. He was only lucky this time. Send him to the firearms instructor for more training.
@31
Hillary is doing quite well apparently, continuing to live rent free in the heads of numerous RW Bagger Nut Jobs.
BTW – what happened to Kushner?
Having tried his damnedest to incite the violence we all saw take place on 1/6 at our nation’s capitol, the dumbfuck now tries so very, very hard to whitewash what happened that day. Why? When you attempt to violently overthrow our government and fail, you face severe consequences. The dumbfuck traitor’s attempt to whitewash what happened on 1/6 is horseshit. He needs a lot more than that to save his treasonous ass, but it looks like that’s all he’s got.
“At least one of the Capitol riot defendants has flipped against the Proud Boys, agreeing to provide information that could allow the Justice Department to bring a more severe charge against the group’s leadership, according to an attorney involved in the case.”

So, how do y’all think the Chauvin trial is goin’ so far?
Go Manchin. Go Manchin. Go Manchin…
46,
That was fast. Really.
Most of these pussies have barely seen detention. Many of the arrests didn’t take place until early last month. As quickly as that came together I’d be worried that the cooperating witness isn’t being properly represented. But I’d lay money right now it’s “Spezz”. They caught him with bomb making materials. He had more to gain by diming out his shithead leaders than any of them. That guy, Ryan Samsel, and Jon Schaffer, an Oath Keeper are my top candidates for CW1, CW2, and CW3.
Wait till they give up Roger Stone and Amy Kremer’s daughter.
All hell will break loose.

A juror needed to flee the courtroom to throw up.
For the defendant this is never a good sign.
Still, it just takes one crazy shithead to hang a jury. And if you haven’t yet figured it out, that’s what defense counsel is going for.

@ 52
Takes one juror to find reasonable doubt that murder or manslaughter was committed when Floyd died without evidence of neck trauma and with a fatal level of fentanyl in his bloodstream.
It was 12 jurors, not one, who found for Zimmerman. That case was supposed to be a lock, too.
Impeached and convicted former judge Alcee Hastings has assumed room temperature.
How did I miss that news?
#55 You took a break from reading obituaries, your favorite section of the newspaper.
@54 Must’ve been a slow-acting fatal dose of fentanyl, then, because he looked pretty lively in the videos until Killer Kop sat on his neck. Also, Floyd’s repeated cries of “I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!” until he stopped breathing might influence the jury’s conclusions on the issue of causation.
In any case, it doesn’t matter if he would’ve died anyway, if asphyxia was the proximate cause of death. We’re all going to die anyway, but that doesn’t give Derek Chauvin or anyone else a license to make it sooner rather than later.
Floyd was a convicted criminal, a drug user, was caught passing a counterfeit $20 bill, and above all was black. I realize that you think that justifies summary-execution-by-cop-without-trial. But that’s not the law in this country.
If all 12 jurors apply the law, Chauvin is fucked. What you need is a rogue juror — someone who doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Your chances are pretty good because this country is full of people like that.
And you’re one of ’em.
If Derek Chauvin is totally acquitted he might get to be a cop again in someplace like, oh, Republic, Washington. Anybody can be a cop there.
39)On that one, it looked like a situation where lethal force was appropriate.
@59 Sure did. Doctor Dumbfuck’s approach is an M60 machinegun. I wouldn’t go that far. Unless absolutely necessary.
Trump is being ignored.

Oh the wailing and the outrage and pearl clutching republicans hypocrites over republican social services in Missouri.
JEFFERSON CITY — Lawmakers lashed out at a Missouri child welfare official Wednesday for not alerting the Legislature about alleged abuse inside Christian reform schools.
https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/incensed-lawmakers-say-missouri-agency-knew-kids-were-being-abused-and-did-nothing/article_33bf796c-dc89-52e8-b12f-336e3234946a.html
Lawmakers wanted to know about missteps in cases like the one involving Circle of Hope Girls Ranch, where the state knew about abuse reports for many years before girls were removed and charges filed. Boyd and Stephanie Householder, who owned Circle of Hope have been charged with 102 crimes — all but one are felonies — that include statutory rape, sodomy and physical abuse.
“How does this happen?” asked Rep. Dottie Bailey, R-Eureka, […] “I’m thinking about kids — the kids. Now we have kids being allegedly raped, allegedly sodomized, allegedly abused, allegedly neglected, allegedly all these things…”
DSS has said a nearly 40-year-old law that exempts faith-based boarding schools from state oversight, has limited the agency’s ability to take action.
And who is responsible for enacting, amending, or repealing the law? Those very same “upstanding Christian” Republicans who are professing themselves “Shocked, Shocked that kids are being abused at “faith-based” “schools” in Missouri. Most tragically, no one is surprised.”
Your religious freedom at work.

If Defense “wins” a mistrial through jury nullification you can be sure both sides will move to poll. And we’ll all find out then.
If in the end the jury hangs, I’m willing to bet it will a lone holdout.

Trust me. Troll read your post about as far as the magic phrase “Girls Ranch” and totally lost the plot recalling bygone days of early 70s 16mm Arriflex grindhouse exploitation thrillers and hours of self abuse below the dash at the drive-in.
A black man kills some white people. Dumbfuck’s racism is therefore justified.
But that’s not why you believe all black men deserve to die. You want them all dead because black kids kicked your ass after school every day. They did that to you because even then you were a whiny, POS racist bitch.
Now you’re a treasonous, whiny, POS racist bitch.
Dumbfuck doesn’t like Asian-Americans much, either. Wants them dead, too.

68,
I’m willing to bet it never happened once.
Awkward and perhaps a bit bookish, I’ll wager the incel troll moved quietly through the school hallways staying close to the lockers and avoided eye-contact with the San Fernando Chads and Stacies. Tara’s contact with non-whites would have restricted to away games with metropolitan LA teams from communities to the south. Later on, her parents would have watched in horror as their suburban neighborhoods like Van Nuys or Canoga Park shifted from being nearly all-white, to becoming “majority-minority”. But that shift would have been barely in its infancy when the incel was still in public schools there.
The fear and resentment is all in her head. Just like the made-up “FB friends from CO”.
@62 Not to be overlooked is the fact this adulterer denied and lied and even called his mistress a “stalker” — until she produced the tape recordings.
I doubt that has anything to do with him pulling out of the Senate scramble. This behavior doesn’t make a Republican unelectable anywhere. More likely his wife is putting him on restriction and he can’t leave the house.
@63 “exempts faith-based”
These 3 words license a lot of sins.
Remember, half the people in this country have below-average IQs. That’s why there will always be Republicans, and we can’t do anything about it. Education simply doesn’t work in that situation.
73,
I’ll feel a lot safer when half of all Republicans no longer have IQs below that of an incel troll so helplessly driven to count coup on a “First Vegetable”, “FemiNazi in a Pantsuit”, or “Radical Community Organizer Trained in a Madrassa”, that he has to fabricate “Whitey Tapes”, “Aneurysms”, and “LaptopFingerBang” just to make it through another day of failure.
Funny thing for me is that I really do have FB friends from CO. But I lived in Boulder, Denver and Lyons for a few years, so that explains why I have friends there.
73,
Are you sure “we can’t do anything about it”?
Ever checked out the “Q” universe on Parler or 8chan? About half the “Q conspiracy” volume consists of “Q-patriots” sharing child porn with each other “in order to document the conspiracy”. It goes largely under the radar because us “normies” encounter that shit and we instinctively recoil in horror, shut the tab and delete the browser cache.
But of course, they don’t.
Folks like Bob, and MTG, and the Chewbacca Bikini guy, and the Proud Boys just “force themselves” to look at it I guess. Because it’s “their duty”? Apparently it is also “their duty” to repost and keep sharing widely. To “save the children”, etc.
You get the picture? (no pun)
Qanon is a front.
Has been from the beginning.
Not all the loony lies are so very harmless. It’s getting less so every day. Murican “conservatives” are gradually becoming a weird-beard cult devoted to sharing child-porn and tearing down democracy. It has to be stopped.
Your commentary is as stupid as your screen name.
Today’s presidential lucidity is such a refreshing change from the incoherent insanity of the raging orange man-baby you foisted on our nation.
I’ve been saying it for several years…put them all in FEMA camps deep in the swamps of Louisiana while at the same time publicly executing, by firing squad or hanging, the worst of them, the outright traitors like our dumbfuck radiologist.
I’ve wondered how it escaped Q’s notice that literally hundreds of Republican politicians and officials have been arrested for being pedophiles over the last 20 years or so. And that’s only those who were busted. That means there’s an awful lot more of them out there.
Odds are, the dumbfuck is one of them. The advice I give still stands. Never, ever leave a child or a farm animal alone with a Republican.
Speaking of which…
