Hmmmmm…maybe he’s got a point. Maybe we should’ve taken immediate action against the terrorists that stormed the Capitol. I mean, the gallows was right there, the insurrectionists actually built it for us. And it would’ve saved us from having to listen to all that whining about how white people are constitutionally incapable of doing bad things.
Note: sarcasm. I’m absolutely not in favor of literally lynching conservatives, so don’t fucking whine about how I’m a violent antifa socialist.
It’s not robbing a bank if you don’t take every single penny inside that bank…right???
That is not the worst part. This one is:
Raju asked if, given that argument, McCarthy regretted signing onto Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit, a last-ditch effort to toss all the votes from the four battleground states that propelled Biden to victory.
“No, no, no I don’t!” McCarthy said loudly.
It is only ok if Republicans do it. /s
If that argument has merit, he ought to have included his home state in the lawsuit.
Texas’ Republican Gov. Gregg Abbott extended early voting by a week and expanded the period in which mail-in ballots could be hand-delivered. “Using his emergency authority because of the pandemic,” Glenn Smith, a Texas Democratic political consultant, told me, “our governor accomplished exactly what his attorney general is saying other states did, improperly. Nonsense. None of this harmed the presidential election. It helped turnout.”
But apparently, to Paxton, it’s only legal if the rule changes help the GOP win.
King Canute at the shore only he’s serious, not teaching a lesson.
Who does he think he is? Chip Roy Bean?
Besides, the robber had a fake gun. I mean, come on!
Also, they built those gallows. I seriously doubt that they could have actually held up to actual use.
Lauren Boebert says the insurrectionist attack on the Capitol was just citizens exercising their right to petition the government.
Not a stupid US Republican issue, but in an international spirit, a right-wing freakout for one French city serving vegetarian (not vegan) meals in public school cafeterias during Covid social distancing because serving two different meals slows down cafeteria throughput. Just like their GOP counterparts re. masks,* something that reasonable people would consider a reasonable decision or choice not done for ulterior motives is being blown out of proportion as a volley in a culture war.
*or Happy Holidays, or mentioning slavery in history classes, or acknowledging that some taxpayers are not Christian, etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam. 
Great, I’m sure she will likewise agree that so-called “looters” during unrest connected with BLM protests were merely petitioning store owners for promotional giveaways.
So if I run out and beat a local cop about the head with a blue stripe American flag, I’m just petitioning my government? Cool. BRB.
(If I don’t return soon, send lawyers, money and money…)
Totally! Doesn’t count! Also, he had good intentions for the money he got at the point of that fake gun! So he’s completely innocent!
…Kevin McCarthy is absolutely the House leader that Republicans deserve. They deserve him richly:

… you have to wonder how many people he passed his infection to, during the weeks (probably) that he was carrying the virus around with him everywhere, breathing it out and touching stuff.
Like he wouldn’t have done that if he had known?
Definitely a badge of honor among the Ghastly GOPers.
Couple days ago attorneys general from 21 states are suing to overturn President Joe Biden’s cancellation of the contentious Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada.
Bothersome that every source I’ve checked so far makes, more or less, this statement:
“Some moderate Democratic lawmakers also have urged Biden to reverse his decision, including Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana.”
Bolding to show that nowhere can my google-fu home in on who, uh, those other dems are.
Yeah I get it those two are sort of the poster folk for that particular issue, and maybe the writers thought it unwieldy or clunky to list out every single dem opposed to Biden’s XL cancellation…meh.
(NYT might, but it’s paywalled. Should probably get a subscription.)
Was hoping to do some math - adding 64 to 21. Ah, but wait - there’s most likely more than one suit per state, so the number we can add on to 64 is yet to be determined. 
Keystone suspended operations several months ago in anticipation of this. Let’s hope it stays that way.
Lauren Boebert says sources close to Individual 1 have told her that there is going to be mass arrests and resignations of Democrats, so the Republicans will be taking back control of Congress before the next election.
How does her skull not implode from the vacuum inside?
I give you Florida Republicans:
Is Donald Trump still president? On Republican websites across Florida, the answer is yes
In the photos I’ve seen, the “hangmans noose” knot was not correctly tied (it appeared to have some central core bulking it out) and the rope was attached to the gallows with a knot that is not reliable for holding sudden weight (round turn and two half hitches)
So even if the gallows structure held up, the rope would not.
The note said he had a gub.
