Political Discussion

Indymisanthrope said:
Seems like a lot is being reserved for possible criminal proceedings down the line. No mention of the supposed tours that took place January 5, of the Capitol Police who were taking selfies with rioters, of the Squad being targeted (and Ayanna Pressley’s panic button claims), of Lauren Boebert’s tweets about Pelosi’s movements, of the pipe bombs, of the roles of Hawley & Cruz & co. in propagating the big lie ...

... I get that the trial needs to be narrowly focused on the one person currently on trial, but it is also true that there is a mountain of other stuff that needs to be addressed and publicly acknowledged at some point. I worry in particular about lionizing the Capitol Police when we *know* and saw with our own eyes that some strange stuff was going down with some of them on that day. If we can’t honestly discuss that, how are we ever going to have a real conversation about actual members of Congress abetting insurrectionists?

Joaquin Castro responded to a question yesterday about how the supporters of Trump have been radicalized in general, but he demurred from addressing that head on and discussed Trump’s language instead. Again, you don’t want to dilute your messaging and spread guilt around when you’re only prosecuting one guy, but the complete absence of an acknowledgement of the role of QAnon from this whole proceeding seems like a miss to me. Q shit played a huge role in getting a lot of these people to decide to be in DC on 1/6, and Trump’s failure to ever denounce Q was just as much of an incitement as his exhortations to fight.

sick and tired.
 
and some numbers.

although I'm not even included in these, because my senators, charm vacuum Cornyn and hospital laundry Cruz, are turkey throated traitors. Cruz should pay for his role instead of playing his ass menagerie. "treason me, Donny. please tread on me!"

I can't even leave a voicemail for them, cowards.
 
Woke up this morning to a text from my father containing just a link to the full text of law for "Text - S.394 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Presidential Transition Enhancement Act of 2019"

No context, nothing. What point is he trying to make?

Love Chuck Todd.

In response to the non conviction yesterday, he quoted Trump from 2016 with the most truthful thing that has ever come out of Trumps mouth.

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters”

Speaking of taxes, Trump's tax cuts are expiring. Not the ones on the wealthy, corporations or the so called "death tax", those were permanent. But the tax breaks for working Americans. You know the one he was hanging out there saying reelect me and I'll renew them?

This means taxes are going up for the average American. Any many working class Americans are blaming Biden for the higher taxes.
 
So, I had asked my father for the context / point of his link to a random law this morning.

He says under this law, which was signed into law in 2016, military control does not get transferred to a "new" president until 60 days after the inauguration date. That being said, Trump is still in charge of the military / commander in chief and why the democrats were trying to impeach him for a second time.
