Ashli Babbitt RIP

Does the former President Trump know that you and he are coordinating strategy? Who is in command so to speak? Are you cleared by “little q” to say? Or do you have a need to know, are those things above your classification level? LOL More comedy gold from the Yammer.

The Alliance has more than enough military assets in deployment. As for why it takes this long… karma? Americans got too arrogant and thought fascism would never come? They need to be taught a lesson by Divine Might?

Shrugs, saaa.

I’m getting tired of this ridiculous assertion that QAnon killed Ashli Babbitt.

It is just mk ultra mind control. If you go as long as I have in this campaign, you’ll see plenty more.

There is no such thing as QAnon. It’s a made up label created by fake news for their nefarious purposes.

UPDATE: Ramesh Ponnuru discusses the political context within which Sinema’s office issued its statement on the filibuster — Mitch McConnell’s mission to block consideration of a resolution to organize the chamber until getting a commitment to preserve the filibuster.

I think that after Dem actions over the past 4 years, some hearty partisan gridlock is called for. I didn’t see Dems rolling over for Trump nominees. To the contrary they were quite unreasonable AND Mitch let them get away with it. Plus there were endless reports that Mitch would not let the Senate go “out of session” so that Trump was not able to fill positions with recess appointments. Were these reports incorrect?

The way I see it is that Traditional Americans are patriotic and religious. They work hard, and do their best to provide for their family. Not to be a burden on others. They value math and science over “social justice”. They are willing to live and let live with people different from themselves.
Dems/media/celebs have made it their number one priority to demonize and destroy Traditional Americans. To kill off their small businesses. To shame them for not approving of moral principles held by Dems. Dems want to cleanse the nation of Traditional Americans, if necessary by physically replacing them with illegal Central Americans.
I am not personally a Traditional American. But I stand with them without reserve in this conflict.
Mitch, and GOPe in general, appears to side with the Dems. Surreptitiously at times, and openly at other times.
I understand and in part agree with your frequent admonitions to avoid circular firing squads on the right. But only agree in part. Things have gone too far, in my view.

No word yet on why or how serious.

“Cocaine Mitch warned Schumer this morning that if Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema turn out to have been lying to him and Dems end up going nuclear, they should prepare for a nuclear counterstrike.”

Another study linked by USAToday also includes a caveat that lets the Left wiggle out from under the “domestic terrorism” label.

There is some overlap between terrorism and hate crimes, since some hate crimes include the use or threat of violence.17 But hate crimes can also include non-violent incidents, such as graffiti and verbal abuse. Hate crimes and hate speech are obviously concerning and a threat to society, but this analysis concentrates only on terrorism and the use—or threat—of violence to achieve political objectives. In addition, this analysis does not focus on protests, looting, and broader civil disturbances. While these incidents are important to analyze—particularly in light of the events in 2020 following the death of George Floyd—most are not terrorism. Some are not violent, while others lack a political motivation. For instance, some of the looting following the death of George Floyd was perpetrated by apolitical criminals. Nevertheless, coding incidents as terrorism is challenging in some cases, which is addressed in the methodology that accompanies this analysis.

By this standard, the Capitol incident was not terrorism, and I definitely agree that Republicans should stop using that label – once you buy into the Left’s narrative for your own framing, you can’t ever win.

FWIW, not every Democrat is on board with the police state (I thought we were defunding police because they were evil??)

https://justthenews.com/nation/extremism/gabbard

Former Democratic presidential candidate and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard on Tuesday called on President Biden and all members of Congress to “denounce” the new administration’s efforts to root out domestic terrorism, which she argues will take away Americans’ civil liberties and “turn our country into a police state.”

“If you don’t stand up to them now, then our country will be in great peril,” Gabbard said in a series of tweets. “Trying to undermine our constitutionally-protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style “surveillance” are also domestic enemies—and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob which stormed the capitol. …”

Also, its analysis stopped in 2019, so the 2020 clearly left-wing rioting and destructive terrorism by Antifa and BLM was not included. (Kind of like how counts of Islamic terrorism incidents and death tolls start after 2001.)

I certainly believe that anyone, of any ideology or none, who kills or destroys should be prosecuted and even pre-emptively stopped (that’s what stings are), but it brings up the question: if right-wing terrorists are such a big problem, maybe demonizing and unconstitutionally surveilling an entire half of the country, 99% of whom are not currently members of white-supremacist militias, is maybe not the best way to reduce the number of incidents.

You would think.

Reading the piece you linked, I fail to see what important thing you think McConnell caved on. He never had any power to preserve the filibuster if all of the Democrats voted to remove it. Two of them are now saying they will not vote to remove it. Is his offense to trust them? He never had any power over them anyway.

McConnell is far from my favorite person nor is he a conservative. But he’s been tougher on the Democrats than I had expected him to be.
