M. Trailer Grease wants the ShitGibbon’s new AG to pursue murder charges against the Capitol Police officer who shot fatally Ashli Babbit as she was trying to storm the House chamber in thn January 6 melee. Because, you know, Republiopaths so support LEOs.
Trump announced the ad with a picture of him and first lady Jill Biden sitting next to each other during a ceremony to mark the reopening of the landmark Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The caption read, “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist!”
Now see, when I was growing up, if your odor was so offensive it made people want to fight you, it was way past time to take a shower. With soap preferentially.
I don’t think that part has changed much over the years.
Quote from that linked article: “Testimony and video from the day showed Babbitt being pushed through a door window into the House Speaker’s Lobby behind the House floor when, without warning, she was shot by Byrd.”
I watched the video of that encounter several times and this is outright propagandist tripe – warnings were shouted and she actively climbed into the broken window.
And it doesn’t matter. She entered a barricaded door. For her to be pushed through, she had to be trying to get through. She didn’t accidentally get pushed in by a crowd, or bumped in by security. It’s not like somebody picked her up and shoved her through just because she was standing there.
We’ve all been there; you’re crowd surfing at a concert, and the next you know you’re dropped right at the very front of a crowd of rioters pushing through police and barricades.
ETA: And indeed “dropped” upwards through a window, while officers repeatedly tell you to stop.
There is a thought nagging in the back of my mind that she isn’t that dumb, that she knows her constituents are that dumb, and that she spouts a lot of bullshit at public speeches to play to her crowd (so we have a ton of sound bytes of her sounding stupid), but that she’s smart enough not to actually believe in Jewish Space Lazers and such.
I don’t think it’s quite that, ether, although I’m thinking along the same lines.
My thought is that it’s more of kind of loyalty test. Like the ‘stollen’ election narrative.
Somewhere there’s a quote that says that once someone can get you to believe the unbelievable, they can get you to take unthinkable actions. The MAGA crowd doesn’t have an option to believe the 2020 election was on the up-and-up. If they believed that it wasn’t stolen, then the J6 riot wasn’t justifiable, which means Trump is guilty of insurrection (or at least, sedition) and the Dems and RINOs were correct. So, they don’t have any problem re-electing him even in light of his pathetic record as a leader.
At an event celebrating the passage of a child welfare law, an advocate for foster children shook Nancy Mace’s hand and asked her to protect the rights of trans kids.
