Republicans Censure Liz Cheney and Label Jan 6 Insurrection ‘Legitimate Political Discourse’


The Republican National Committee voted Friday to condemn Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), for serving on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, claiming their behavior “has been destructive to the institution of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party and our republic,”  The resolution accused Cheney and Kinzinger of participating in a “Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse.”


Gee whiz, now what I don’t get is, if the Jan 6th insurrection was only about "legitimate political discourse," one wonders why did Republican lawmakers hightail it the hell out of there like roaches after someone turns the light on, instead of sticking around in the House chamber, to "discuss" the issues with the nice folks who’d come for some of that “legitimate political discourse?”

But, I get what Republicans are saying.  Why, it’s no different than that “political discourse” we enjoyed at Pearl Harbor back in 1941, or the intriguing “discourse” folks were having while Germany was bombing the living shit out of London.  And, of course, I’m quite sure, had these insurrectionists been people of color, the RNC would have felt exactly the same towards them also. 


Anyway, on a positive note - now that Republicans have completely “banished” Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, simply for disagreeing with the Trump-party line, they can now get back to enjoying one of their favorite pastimes - complaining about “Cancel Culture.”  


By the way, speaking of Liz Cheney, she said she harbors no grudge toward anyone in the RNC over her banishment.  In fact, just to show there are no hard feelings, she’s graciously invited them all to come out to her native Wyoming - to go hunting with her father.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...

Trump Ordered by Jury to Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million

In his second trial in less than a year on the matter, a civil jury in Manhattan took only three hours to decide that disgraced former President Trump must pay $83.3 million in punitive and compensatory damages to rape victim and writer E. Jean Carroll in a drama that began in the dressing room of a New York City department store back in 1995. Gee whiz, $83 million?  Seems it turns out that even “when you're a star, they don't always let you do it.”  Anyway, so the Orange God used his big fat mouth to talk his way out of a $5 million judgment - and right into an $83 million judgment.  Now, that really takes some skill!  Talk about “The Art of the Deal!”  I’m totally impressed.  Why, its almost as if Mr. Trump and his militant, useless attorney don’t fully comprehend the basic point of “punitive damages.”   I mean, at this point, Trump defames Ms. Carroll so frequently, she’s almost gonna need to put up an electronic signboard to alert the court abo...
