McCarthy now named to provide evidence to the House committee about how Trump mocked him while Congress was under attack.
He can appear to cooperate and then try to control what they get. Or he can refuse, citing some bullshit white “privilege” and get a subpoena.
With mid terms in the balance I expect him to protect Trump, clam up, defy a subpoena, and then brazen it out in hopes he can get to next January.
This could explain a few things:

Looks like a key part of the testimony today by Rep. Matt Gaetz’s sex pal included details and corroborating evidence about a three way phone call in which she participated with Gaetz and another cooperating witness in which Gaetz is alleged to have suborned perjury or otherwise sought to obstruct.
She recorded it.

I guess they’re not capitalist enough for him yet. He probably doesn’t give a damn about Taiwan or the South China Sea. After all, his foreign policy experience consists of coaching an Alabama football team.
Doctor Dumbfuck calls Hillary Clinton, who has actual foreign policy experience, “awful” but never criticizes this ethically challenged ignoramus. Strange. Probably as a professional courtesy to a fellow dumbfuck.
In the last thread it was pointed out that the Harvard Harris poll had rural voters going for Biden over Trump, 63-30%.
That is almost certainly a misprint and the numbers, I suspect, are reversed. This is why:
Overall the poll had Trump at 48% and Biden at 45%.
The problem is, the voter breakdown categories of
Urban
Suburban
Rural
all had Biden ahead.
Urban he was up 56-36.
Suburban he was up 48-44.
Rural he was up 63-30.
Unless there are a significant number of voters in outer space or in Atlantis who weren’t included, it’s not possible for Biden to lead in all categories and yet trail by 3 points overall.
Hey Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, maybe on handbill.us you can delve deeply into the difference between mean and median.
The best thing doc and his tribe have going for them is the IQ curve. Only half of us can be average or better, which means they have an ample supply of dummies.

Seems like what the shambolic, dissembling Branch Covidian troll is now saying is that he linked repeatedly to a shit poll with tons of errors and even some obvious mistakes in simple math.
None of which were apparent to him before he shared the garbage results and proceeded to rely upon those garbage results to support yet another one of his tedious, multi-post, shirtless, face-painted, pro-Trump, end zone dances.
And now he’d like for all of us to memory hole the entire earlier episode and join him in pretending that he’s some kind of wizard statistical analyst for having his own fuckups pointed out to him by Roger.
This is peak clown. Especially since it comes after he spent days attending with great care to the Cosplaytriot myth of Patriot Purge and Stop the Steal. And it’s only Wednesday.

…explain how $2.7 trillion of unspent Covid relief funds caused inflation.
I’d be glad to. Let’s start with the comment of a former Secretary of the Treasury. He said the same thing on the NPR financial show broadcast last evening, BTW:
Next, google “$2.7 trillion crisis savings”. That number goes back to October 2021, but it was repeated in a WSJ piece yesterday.
Too many people have too much money saved as a result of everything that has been handed out since the pandemic started, and have chosen not to work for the time being because they can live off of their unnecessary windfall. The resulting labor shortage has driven up wages for those who do choose to work or need to work, and labor costs are the primary driver of inflation.
There’s your linkage, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

They’ll try to thread the tiniest needle.
They want to keep Trump while rejecting the Trump Lie.
They want to keep Trump’s 25 million excess (R) turnout while avoiding Trump’s 35 million excess (D) turnout.
But mostly they want to avoid the collapse in unaligned (U) turnout that accompanies The Big Lie.
Remember what happened in Georgia in 2020. No other state saw The Big Lie as heavily promote as Georgia did. And recall that McConnell tried to tamp it down even then. He saw the polls. He knew what was at stake. All Trump knew was that he was going to lose and he needed a way to blame somebody else.
When CNN leads with headlines like this, you know the network is scrambling to rebrand itself after going way too far into Nevertrumpland.

Our dumbfuck traitor’s cosplaying grandmothers.
Seditious Conspiracy…planned to stop the lawful transfer of presidential power by January 20, 2021, which included multiple ways to deploy force. They coordinated travel across the country to enter Washington, D.C., equipped themselves with a variety of weapons, donned combat and tactical gear, and were to answer RHODES’S call to take up arms at RHODES’S direction. Some co- conspirators also amassed firearms on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., distributed them among “quick reaction force” (“QRF”) teams, and planned to use the firearms in support of their plot to stop the lawful transfer of presidential power.
48,
Indeed.
And today he lost another stupid talking point:
https://apnews.com/article/stewart-rhodes-arrested-oath-keepers-jan-6-insurrection-70019e1007132e8df786aaf77215a110
Eleven arrested on multiple charges that include seditious conspiracy.
Looks like the Cardianls Superfan Plot really paid off for all those dirty commies in the FBI!
Some of those facing the new charges, who had previously entered guilty pleas to lesser charges, had also admitted to stashing case quantities of military style weapons and ammunition across the Potomac River for use in arming a proposed “Quick Reaction Force” that was intended to reinforce the group once they had gained control over The Capital and to help harden and better defend their positions.
Seems like this also disposes of another of the dissembling, shambolic racist incel’s stupid talking points.
So anyways, dumbfuck, you treasonous, low IQ POS, exactly what were your cosplaying grandmothers planning on doing with her? An exchange of cookie recipes?
Stewart Rhodes and several co-conspirators, a group of Oath Keepers referred to as “Stack One” entered the Capitol, went south from the rotunda, and walked to the House of Representatives specifically to find Pelosi
God bless Raw Story.
Reading the St Louis Magazine profile of the Cardinals Rally Runner is an odd time travel.
In March of 2016 he seems like a nice enough kid. Maybe a little thick. But sincere in his devotion and commitment to his team and his religion in a very harmless way that is almost sweet.
But that was March of 2016.
Then something happened not long after that.
And all indications are the guy began a detour in his life that led him into caring more about Trump than about Jesus or the Cardinals. And that took him to The Capital to take part in a riot. And that made him a useful scapegoat for “conservatives” with overwhelming feelings of humiliation at having thrown everything away for a fat con artist who gorges himself on dick pills, Rogaine, and Cheeseburgers.
There’s a powerful metaphor in there.
Bob is Rally Runner.

@25 Okay, you’ve explained how the Trump Covid relief distributed in 2020 caused inflation. But I still don’t see how Build Back Better caused inflation.
By the way, that would be the same Oath Keepers who guarded Roger Stone on 1/6.
Seditionists and a inner-circle Trump advisor. Nothing to see here, I’m sure.
@30 “She’s not a bigot, a racist, or a segregationist. What she is, is fucking pissed off at her party’s leadership.”
And her party leadership and tens of millions of Democrats, including many of the Democrats in Arizona who voted for her, are fucking pissed off at her.
She would have a point if the Senate was a level playing field, instead of a game Republicans rig to their advantage.
She’s unwilling to help unrig it, and her party and her own voters aren’t likely to forgive her for that.
Oh, and one more thing: She may not personally be a bigot, racist, or segregationist; but she might as well be, because aiding and abetting Republican blockage of voting rights essentially has that effect.
@ 61
But I still don’t see how Build Back Better caused inflation.
I never made that claim. I do think that BBB would worsen inflation – same sentiment that Manchin has expressed. That’s not the same thing.
@58
In the manner in which you always refer to women as “cunts”, and your long history of misogyny and also hatred towards people of color, yes, it is hateful when you, a white man, calls a black women obese.
Hunter Biden’s ex-wife has a tell-all memoir coming out.
Her former father-in-law’s a fucking embarrassment, too.
Doctor Dumbfuck’s theory of inflation is that it’s caused by labor shortages, which he implies wouldn’t exist without Covid relief funds.
Let’s examine this in detail.
1. Labor shortages are only part of the cause of inflation. There are other contributing causes.
2. The labor shortages would exist even in the absence of savings from Covid relief funds. They would exist even if the Covid pandemic hadn’t happened, partly thanks to the GOP’s anti-immigration policies, because America’s aging demographics and falling birthrate created a worker shortage that could only be made up by immigration.
3. 843k dead Americans also contributed to the labor shortage, and Republican opposition to vaccines, masks, social distancing, temporary business closures, and workplace Covid safety measures contributed to that death toll. Dead people can’t work.
4. Covid relief funds were approved by both Republicans and Democrats, and the majority of those funds were distributed while Trump was president.
5. Even handing out Covid relief funds caused labor shortages that are causing inflation, that doesn’t explain how Build Back Better is causing inflation, because no BBB funds have etnered the economy.
6. If you accept Doctor Dumbfuck’s theory of inflation, people not working because of savings from Covid relief funds is only an effect, not a cause, and the real cause of inflation is the 13th Amendment. If workers were slaves, savings from Covid relief funds wouldn’t prevent them from working or cause inflation. In that case, he’d have to blame inflation on the whip shortage.

So what if there are a million votes cast before the first debate? It means nothing because some people are going to vote for the R or the D regardless what name is attached to it. You know this as well as everyone here.
What good are the debates when one of the participants shouts over the other person debating them? That isn’t a debate, that is a shouting match.

I’m still finding time to read through all of the indictments that were unsealed today. Having only yet skimmed the Rhodes et al. indictment and just starting on the Crowl et al. indictment I can say unreservedly that team KILL HIM WITH HIS OWN GUN! is truly, truly in a monumental, fuck-ton of big-boy federal criminal trouble.
They are burnt. It’s very clear that DOJ has cooperators who gave these shitheads up. It’s also very clear that they had access to quite a lot of what the conspirators mistakenly believed was safely encrypted communications documenting their violent terrorist conspiracy. And at least a couple of the eleven named are rolling.
However, while it is definitely alluded to in the indictments that there are other as yet unnamed co-conspirators involved, it is impossible to say from these indictments if this would sweep in anyone from Congress, The White House, or the Trump Campaign/Stop The Steal. Based on what appears on superficial reading, that seems unlikely to me. There may indeed be some operational ties between this group of criminals and Roger Stone. But that may be as far as that goes.
I still feel like the people around Trump and his campaign would have known better than to get involved with such really obviously violent extremist right wing nuts. But it’s hard to know how hollowed out the Trump leadership team was by the end of December and how easily it might have been for dangerous criminals to fill that void. Not likely. But always a possibility.
But they damn well better hope that if they had much contact with these guys it was exclusively to trade fashion tips for accessorizing your RLCS.
@84
In the end it probably won’t really matter that these seditious people are arrested, tried, convicted, and sent to prison, because Trump, if elected again, would most likely pardon them.

I don’t think I’d assume the U.S. gov’t has no resources that can decode amateur encryption.
@85 I think that’s completely wrong. If he gets elected again while they’re rotting in prison of no use to him, he wouldn’t have any reason to pardon them. However, he might let them out if he needs a Capitol assault to ratify his third term.
@95
You might be right. However, I think Trump would do it just to spite the Democrats, and especially Liz Cheney.
Trump has a vendetta against anyone that crosses him. That would be the ultimate “fuck you” to her, her father, and the establishment GOP. Pissing off the Dems would just be icing on the cake for two impeachments.
Trump is nothing more than a petty despot.
Why couldn’t she be that delusional. Barack Obama certainly was.
Trump, too.
And really, what other options do the Democrats have in 2024? Not Biden, Harris, or Warren. Mayor Pete couldn’t get a black vote to save his life. And I’m reliably informed that Hillary has no chance – everyone on HA has told me so, and they’re never wrong, especially not Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.
So who else? Why not Sinema?

A well-known conservative activist in Arlington, Texas, who peddled COVID-19 vaccine misinformation has died of complications caused by the virus—just a few weeks after attending a “symposium” against the shots….

She also made headlines in 2017 for going public about sexually explicit photos allegedly sent to her by then-GOP Rep. Joe Barton, a scandal which ultimately ended in Barton stepping down.

Trump’s not getting elected again.
When Trump runs in 2024 it will break all turnout records by a mile. Turnout is not good for “conservative” white nationalists. Because democracy is not their friend. The Republican Oath Keepers were at least smart enough to realize that. And that’s why they formed a violent terrorist conspiracy to prevent the election results from being certified.
108)Which is why they suppress turnout.
On a side note, prior to 1980 Illinois had a fair system they had been using for 110 years to elect their state house. Each district had 3 seats, voters could cast their votes however they wanted. It got eliminated by Good Government people cutting the size of the State House. It could never be brought back today. One of the idiots that supported the elimination and still does, Pat Quinn.
@ 109
Voters can’t cast their votes however they want in Illinois today?
I guess that explains why Illinois keeps voting Democrat.
Hey y’all, what if inflation is really running at 10%?
YLB’s kids are gonna be hurtin’ for certain.
110)The old system allowed for Downstate Democrats and Chicago Republican s to win seats in Springfield. They also had a gentleman’s agreement, Democrats and Republicans would only slate two candidates per district.

Cumulative voting. Championed by Lani Guinier, who died last week.
I wrote about that a couple of threads ago.
@97 Anybody can run for president. You can run for president. I can run for president. Tulsi Gabbard ran for president. Ted Cruz ran for president. So did Michelle Bachmann and Scotty Walker. Sinema can run for president and be like them. But why would she want to? There are easier ways to get rejected and humiliated, if that’s what she’s after.
@111 You obviously like inflation, and it’s equally obvious you believe Biden is causing it, so you’re either going to (a) vote for Biden in 2024, or (b) vote irrationally. I’ll go with irrational, simply because you’re irrational about everything else.
Looks like Djokoivc’s visa in Australia has been canceled again.

Will be interesting. Back in 2020, when Australia closed borders between it’s own states, the two sports leagues whose seasons were just getting underway, had to suspend operations. Now they almost let in an anti-vax foreigner so he could play in the Australian Open.
I remember seeing on FS1 that a Ortiz’s first game of the 2020 AFL Season. They tried to play but with empty stadiums. It was surreal seeing the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a stadium that seats over. 100,000, with nobody in the stands.
Now that the McConnell Political Court has struck down gov’t workplace vaccine mandates, a new employer hiring incentive will appear: “Only vaccinated people work here.”
Companies that don’t do that won’t be able to hire, because who’s going to work where they don’t know if the person next to them is vaccinated or a germ bus?
As an added bonus, if that uncertainty and the fear it creates causes people to stay out of the workforce altogether, then Doctor Dumbfuck will be able to blame inflation on McConnell and the Supreme Court.

Petersen, a Republican illegally paid women from the Marshall Islands to give up their babies in at least 70 adoption cases in Arizona, Arkansas and Utah,
In the scheme, pregnant women were recruited and promised $10,000 in exchange for agreeing to give up their babies in adoption to families in the United States, The women often didn’t get that full amount Adoptive families paid about $40,000 per adoption.

A Democrat won a US House seat this week with 79 percent of the vote. Her GOP opponent has not conceded
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/01/13/nation/democrat-won-us-house-seat-this-week-with-79-percent-vote-her-gop-opponent-has-not-conceded/
She won 79 percent of the vote over Republican Jason Mariner, who got less than 20 percent of the vote
This situation makes more sense if you know that many Republicans regard all votes cast for Democrats as illegitimate. In their world, no election a Democrat wins can possibly be accurate.
This is the new normal in Republican politics: refusing to concede and claiming election fraud even when you’ve been thoroughly trounced. This is Donald Trump’s legacy on American politics.
He knows he won’t win – he also knows he will get some sweet ass donations from his followers to “fight” this.
New Republican Governor in VA has some recommendations for inclusions to improve school curricula:
“3. The founding documents of the United States, including the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the Federalist Papers, including Essays 10 and 51, excerpts from Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, the first debate between Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, and the writings of the Founding Fathers of the United States.”
This is going about as well as I expected.
Remember kids, this Supreme Court will force women to have babies but won’t force people to get a life saving vaccine or test requirement, meaning people could still opt out.
I’m very sorry for Bob that his only real friends fucked around and found out.
But let’s be clear about some very basic legal principles to avoid some of the distractions that are bound to be mounted.
Attempting to do crimes is criminal. We have criminal statutes that make it a crime to conspire, plan, and execute a criminal enterprise even when the enterprise is a total failure. And this is a very good thing.
Attempting to murder someone is against the law.
Attempting to bribe someone is against the law.
Attempting to blackmail someone is against the law.
Kidnapping someone’s child for ransom is a crime even if the criminals never collect the ransom.
And just as important, and just as good a thing, is the fact that we do not judge the severity of the criminality by the competence or the self-awareness of the criminals involved. Inept, strung-out junkies who gun up and attempt a home invasion are at least as great a danger to the community as sober, cool-eyed pros. It’s the nature of the crime that counts, not its skill in execution or likelihood of ultimate success.
The alleged facts presented in the indictments unsealed yesterday against eleven conspirators charged with seditious conspiracy describe a vicious and harrowing organized effort to carry out monstrously criminal acts against U.S. elected officials, Congressional staff, police, and the people of the United States. They failed in their most vicious and dangerous objectives. But the evidence the DOJ intends to present will show that what they were attempting was an overthrow of the government, in part by seizing control of The Capital and taking lawmakers as hostages.
Anybody who participated in their conspiracy or assisted them in their preparations or execution is in a very deep pile of criminal shit.
If this thread is any indication, seditious conspiracy doesn’t exist in our low IQ dumbfuck’s dojo.
124,
It did. At least right up until yesterday.
Then “POOF!” It just disappeared.
Like Russian collusion disappeared.
Like BENGHAAAZIII!!! disappeared.
Like Rally Runner disappeared.
Like 10-15% disappeared.
Like “Justice4Brett Red Wave” disappeared.
Like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia disappeared.
And like his “FB friends in CO” disappeared.
The Even Bigger Fucking Moron @ 120
Stacey Abrams still hasn’t conceded her 2018 GA gubernatorial loss.
Barack Obama had to tell Hillary Clinton to concede to Trump, and even then she was too inebriated/distraught to behave like an adult, and had to wait until she had slept it off.
A concession does not change an election outcome.
That having been said, it would be nice for an election loser to concede. Props to Al Gore in that regard.
@123
The thing about Bob’s real friends is that they think the 2nd Amendment gives them the right to do anything, as long as they are clutching their beloved guns (like the phallus that they think they are).
@125
You forgot shipspotting.
@117
With the McConnell Supreme Court, being decidedly conservative now, what ever happened to the conservatives bleating about “activist judges”? That’s right, they are silent now that they are being activists for the conservative agenda.
McConnell knew a long time ago that POTUS had little effect on their “back to the 1860’s” agenda, so the only way to really get what they wanted was to find a tool of a POTUS to push their activist judiciary agenda. Trump was just the narcissistic tool to put in Mitch’s dream Reich. Donny got played (was a willful idiot). Now that Donny has been played, Mitch has no need for him.
Shame on the Democrats, they haven’t learned much.
Shame on the
she called a press conference at which she made a careful statement: “I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election.”
However, she declared, this was “not a speech of concession.”
I leave it you to understand the difference
128. So will Moscow Mitch grovel to trump as Graham told him to do, or destroy him behind the scenes?
@130
Get some popcorn, it will be fun to watch.
My money is on Mitch. Not saying his hair won’t get mussed, but he will survive Donny and Graham.
@129 “I leave it you to understand the difference”
That is an impossible ask of Herr Dumbfuck, he can’t do that. He give waaayyyy to many examples of why doesn’t have that ability.
@ 127
The thing about Bob’s real friends…
My real friends, Newt, are like you. You would be surprised.
The last political event I attended was a re-election kickoff for Congressman Rick Larsen. And then I voted for him.
The bright new shiny object this week for conservatives is train burglaries. Probably coincidental, but it hit the blogs just as the sedition news did.
From CBS’ LA affiliate:
There’s a thread, video, etc.
Railfan, what do you know about an increase in railroad cars being broken into?
@133
I seriously doubt your “real friends” are anything like me.
Saying you voted for Rick Larsen is like saying, “I have black friends” because the kids that bags your groceries is black.
