Today's Assault on Constitutional Democracy Gamethread

Recommended Posts

Boebret said in a letter on Thursday that was challenging Rep Maloney about an interview he gave (see paragraph 6):

Quote

During the riots, my mother was locked in a secure location, not in the U.S. Capitol, with my staff and never left their sight.

If there were other people with her mother, they should make sworn statements to that effect.

Plus it should be possible for investigators to get phone location data to prove or disprove her location.

No they shouldn't, lol.

Perjury is a thing.

Here's how I see current events.

 

The founding fathers wanted a system of laws and representation separate from England. They laid out the underlying principles in the Declaration of Independence. They had a plan.

Today, we have a significant chunk of people, a President, numerous lawmakers who do not respect the laws and the foundation and they are actively attempting to burn it down. Weaken it. 

The Republic is under threat. Asymmetrical, insidious and sometimes overt threat to undo it. They have no overarching goal. Some want authoritarianism and power others are grevience driven many are white supremacists. 

Many of us, most of us on this board at our core are believers in the laws even when we disagree on some issues. That's why despite our often contrary views we can get along. We believe in the underlying structure.

The Republic is under threat. Calls for healing and ending divisiveness are attempts to deflect from that. There is no healing while the threat remains. We cannot kick this can down the road and ignore the continued attacks on the Republic. Not overt insurrection or subtle, errosive actions.

The Republic is under threat. If you care about that, do not be distracted by the attempts to deflect from that critical point.

James Murdoch, the son of Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch, has spoken out against “media property owners” that spread disinformation leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

In an interview with the Financial Times on Friday, Murdoch said that the attack on the Capitol is a consequence of the election disinformation championed by President Donald Trump and circulated by media outlets.

Cliff Notes Version: The Republic is under threat because a % of the populace has been fully indoctrinated & brainwashed by 40 years of right wing media & religious lies & bull crap that they literally have a warped view of reality & have no ability to grasp reality of that they promote the very policies that their "christian' faith (Jesus) stood against in their beloved bibles and working stiffs have been indoctrinated to think that tax cuts for their employers will actually help them financially

Mike Lindell gave an interview about his WH meeting to Right Side Broadcasting News on Facebook.

Among other things he claimed he presented:

  • Evidence that Trump won - including IP address and Lat/Long coordinates of computers involved in China and elsewhere
  • Presented POTUS with options such as Martial Law and also ordering Twitter, Facebook and others to reinstate all banned accounts (said Trump liked the idea of reinstating banned accounts)
  • Praying that all of the DC military arrival is part of Trump's plan

Long article with quotes from the interview video in the tweet.

But can’t we just let bygones be bygones?

Ever read Ordinary Men?  You, @halfmanhalfbronco?

Trump is, and has been throughout his adult life, amoral and an off the charts narcissist.  He’d do about any “ism” there is in service of his wants and desires. 

Read portions of it in a Holocaust and Genocide class

You're right about Trump being "amoral and an off the charts narcissist." Trump is racist, but he's not particularly ideological. He'll do anything to remain the center of attention
