This VIOLENT THREAT IS LIVE & GROWING.
Trump INCITED AN INSURRECTION.
He MUST be convicted, removed and banned from holding office.@GOPSenate - you don’t have to VOTE to convict. You can just STAY HOME on the day of the VOTE. Please.🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Qtgtaa1MvQ
They call it the Million Militia March.
We must destroy these domestic terrorists. If Biden needs to claim emergency powers, he should do so. If I were president, I'd round up every red-hatted maniac and transport 'em all to the Nevada desert. Then drop nukes on 'em.
How did my heart become so hardened? I've been thinking a lot about this movie. Toward the end, the protagonist balks at employing extreme methods in the fight against fascism. He asks his mentor: "Doesn't this make us as bad as them?"
The mentor responds: "Of course. The appalling thing about fascism is that you've got to use fascist methods to get rid of it."
Case in point: The gunshot that brought down fascist rioter Alisha Babbitt. I have no sympathy for that traitorous bitch; she was at the forefront of a crowd that explicitly sought to kill Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats.
By last week, these people were sharing maps of D.C. They were talking about having enough of them that they would be able to erect basically their own cadre around the entire area of Congress. They had a map of the tunnels [in the basement of the Capitol], and they were talking about how they're going to be able to stop Congress from leaving. They imagined that this was the day there were going to be mass executions of Congressmen.
But a lot of them also just imagined they were going to be there for this historic time when Trump pulled away the curtain and revealed that all of Congress were traitors and then took his just and equal revenge. There were a variety of characters: people who were there to watch Trump gain control and people who thought Trump would win, but only by activating the military, [with] a proper military coup that they supported. They thought they were there to go and purge Congress.
I don't regret Babbitt's death. I regret the fact that the cops didn't use machine guns to mow down the other fascists. If we had filled the Capitol Building with a couple hundred Nazi corpses on January 6, we would have nothing to fear on January 20. Most Nazis are low-IQ brutes who understand only strength. They say they want to die for their cause, but the proverbial whiff of grapeshot will disprove their empty boasts.
You want to transform society for the better? Transform fascists into cadavers. Back in the '40s, that approach worked out great.
The Q qrazies are insane, bloodthirsty zombies. We have to do unto them as they would do unto us -- only do it first. The MAGA movement is every bit as dangerous as Al Qaeda or Isis.
Donald Trump must go to prison. In the '30s, gangsters like Al Capone, John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde also had cult followings. Imprisonment eradicated Capone's populist appeal. The others stopped being admired when they stopped breathing. They were not seen as martyrs; they were seen as losers.
Proles hate weakness.
Know that. To conquer Trumpism, we must conquer Trump. He must wear the orange jumpsuit.
One piece of good news: Some of the rioters now understand that Trump sold them out. He didn't march with them. He used them as fodder. And he won't pardon them.

Starting to understand why Stalin had gulags? Soviet society then was just like ours: riddled with traitors and fascists, from the streets to the halls of power.
What the hell are you talking about, anon? Stalin was no democrat, no liberal, no believer in the Enlightenment. He was hardly any better than Hitler.
Jesus, this blog has been INUNDATED with weirdo offerings by anonymous commenters. Something strange is going on.
This is the smoking gun that seals Trump's fate.
CNN - "As riot raged at Capitol, Trump tried to call senators to overturn election."
Joseph,
A favorite poet of mine was interviewed by a journalist when I was a teenager. She was provocative with her poetry for her time. The journalist asked her about her choice of words and phrases to which she answered, words and phrases become perverted over the years to stand for entirely "other" things and I am trying to RIP the veil away from that perversion.
Most people have heard of Stalin or Hitler or Socialism or Orwell's 1984 or The Constitution, but only understand them by the perverted version and have no real understanding of their historical context. I bet if I were to hand a bunch of the old fashioned "curlers" to a bunch of 20 somethings, they may know they were used to curl hair, but would not know how to actually use them to "set" their hair or how to secure them with Bobby pins.
Well if Debra Messing is onboard, count me in!
Respectfully to all, I just want to share that we have to keep 2022 in mind. Our side needs to tell the truth and represent the positive, without a whole bunch of hyperbole. Bob Marley said “if you want to win the revolution, you must win it with Rasta.” I take license with his exact words of course. You’ll find similar statement from the greats like Ghandi, Mandela, and MLK. Throwing words around like war, or nazis, or stating that “we should kill them,” may simply create realties where citizens DO kill each other over perceived threats that weren’t real. The only way is to reduce tensions, speak the truth, and demonstrate progress to the people via government that for once actually delivers. We have two years to show that middle chunk of independent voters (which are really the folks that make you a winner at the ballot box) that we are not political zealots bent of taking care of Wall Street, changing the culture, and taking care of the elites.
It’s a heck of a spot to be in. Overall, I think the Democratic Party (and the rest of the nation) is ready for some sort of progress. We need some leaders more along the line of Tip O’Neill though if it’s going happen. What we have now are mostly hacks.
Trump's FBI is seeking to identify and arrest everyone involved with storming the Capitol... everyone of course except Trump who egged them on to do it.
I worry this is not over and that other traitors will still be trying to keep Trump in power. We need to monitor communications and travel. I hope that those planning the Inauguration take this into account. Sad to say, but I would prefer that it be held in a secret location. The sooner President Biden can take over, the better.
“He was hardly any better than Hitler.”
Absolute nonsense. We have mostly Stalin and the Soviets to thank for the fact that Hitler was crushed.
Anon, it is indeed quite true that the Soviets did most of the heavy lifting in the battle against Nazism. But it is also true that Stalin was a monster. You should see a Russian movie called "The Fall of Berlin," which offers the Stalin-approved version of WWII. In the film, superhuman Uncle Joe PERSONALLY defeats the dreaded Hitler/Churchill/Vatican conspiracy. By deifying Stalin, the movie inadvertently portrays the USSR's leader as the ultimate narcissist -- and a very sick man.
Think of it this way: We also have Blucher and the Prussians to thank for the fact that Napoleon was crushed at Waterloo. And I DO thank them. But should we pretend that Blucher was Mr. Nice Guy, or that the Prussians were a bunch of happy-go-lucky flower children?
History often places us in morally problematic places where the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.
