She charged through a window with the intent of threatening the nation’s duly elected representatives with bodily harm unless they overturned an election her side lost. Fuck her. ---

I stand by my earlier assertion that he does not even believe what he’s typing anymore. He’s simply doing it to provoke a reaction. He can’t even keep track of his own bullshit anymore, and keeps denying he said what he said (or trying the old troll trick of “Oh, those are not the exact specific words I used, ha ha!” ) There is no reasonable defense for the right-wing bullshit anymore, so all that is left is to troll the libs with regurgitation of idiocies from Hannity or Carlson, or whoever the moron-de-jour is now for the right wing. He and others have gone off the deep end, and all they have left is “herp derp you are woke”. ---

Liberals: “Let’s have a term that represents that we are trying to understand other people, and have empathy towards them.” Conservatives “We hate that concept of empathy and understanding. Let’s make fun of that term and try to turn it into a childish insult.” ---

I’m old enough to remember when ‘compassion’ was rebranded ‘bleeding heart’ by conservatives. Hell, remember when Dubya, recognizing his ideology was a moral abortion, ran on being a _compassionate conservative_? ---

Here’s a story about how the totally totally peaceful unarmed tourists brought an arsenal of weapons with them when they traveled to DC. They stashed the arsenal in a specific Northern Virginia hotel, selected for its proximity to the planned insurrection - and developed highly specific plans (which included setting up a quick reaction force) for getting the weapons to the insurrectionists at the Capitol on short notice. The story includes surveillance video of the insurrectionists bringing the guns into the Virginia hotel. > **["One if By Land, Two if By Sea:" What We Know of the Oath Keepers' January 6...](https://www.emptywheel.net/2021/07/04/one-if-by-land-two-if-by-sea-what-we-know-of-the-oath-keepers-quick-reaction-force/)** > > Early in the Oath Keeper investigation, the claim to have an armed Quick Reaction Force to descend on DC if things went haywire seemed like the product of Thomas Caldwell's boasts.

“I didn’t write any such thing!” “I didn’t write any such thing!” “I didn’t write any such thing!” “Okay, I guess that is the plain reading of what I _wrote_, but why do you interpret that as what I mean?” It makes me sad to see someone so committed to not reflect on their own massive flaws. ---

And a totally peaceful unarmed January 6th tourist, released pre-trial, is almost certainly headed back into the clink for violating the terms of his pre-trial release. He violated a prohibition on weapons by acquiring at least _ **thirty-four** _ new firearms, as well as a large quantity of ammo and bomb-making materials.
