Of swine, saboteurs, and sycophants - enemies of the state

[b.c.]

In today's news, Sen. Lindsey Graham, ever the perennial SYCOPHANT reportedly made certain threats to Senate Democrats relating to calling in the FBI to detail events leading up to the Capitol insurrection. Maybe he should give that second thought however, considering how such testimony just MAY pose the risk of incriminating some of Graham's Republican colleagues, if not himself. One thing's for certain. in spite of the GOP's facetiously insulting attempts to invoke "unity" as a means for conning Democrats, NOTHING'S changed with THEM:

Republicans still fighting results of 2020 election, refusing to allow Democratic Senate to organize
Republicans, Who Control Senate Committees Despite Losing Majority, Reject Democrats’ Demand for Merrick Garland Confirmation Hearing

SWINE, SABOTEURS, AND SYCOPHANTS - THE PARTY OF Q

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is No Outlier. She Is Now the Face of the Republican Party | Vogue

While it’s a nice gesture on the part of 5% of the GOP caucus—symbolically chastising a member of the House who in her social media posts had encouraged lunatics calling for the execution of Speaker Nancy Pelosi—MTG is merely a small metastatic tumor produced by a system-wide cancer that is ravaging the GOP.

Sure, Greene spread racism, lies and conspiracy theories, but that hardly makes her an outlier in Donald Trump's Republican party. Just because Greene is the loudest and possibly the most dangerous of the new crop of newly elected Republican officials doesn’t mean she’s an aberration. If anything, MTG isn’t a deviation from the norm; she's more like the median.

I am totally against having a single party system; which post Trump we are well on our way to given that the Republicans have almost gone totally rogue.

On the other hand maybe the Republican party needs to fracture, split and crumble so a legitimate second party can be established.

To the good if the crazies and Nazi's do form their own tin foil hat Q or Trumpettes party it will make intelligence, security and law enforcement a much easier prospect.

And the funny thing about it, the Senate GOP have it in their power to politically put this rabble rousing demagogue and dictator wanna-be to REST, once and for all... except they're TOO CHICKENSHIT to do so.

So WHEN (not IF) he hijacks their fkn party of QAnon quacks, that'll be on THEM. a---holes.

The GOP is so morally corrupt at this point they are virtually a lost cause.

Pretty sure the difference between Mein Kampf and Art of the Steal is only around the margins. Neither book is on my read list but both are at the top of my "things to wipe my ass with if the world really does run out of toilet paper"

[b.c.]

I guess I'd be remiss in not recognizing the MINOR miracle that Tuesday, SIX Republicans voted with Democrats to affirm (no duh) the legality of trying Trump for one crime (of his many). Or was it merely that Trump's defense team was so horrific that even La. senator Bill Cassidy was forced to jump ship.

NOT that any of that would matter ANYWAY seeing how it's not likely enough Senate Republicans will be voting to convict. Not the group that hoisted a QAnon quack who called for the execution of fellow lawmakers to the head of an education committee nor the ones who abided and supported a phony ass election lie in the FIRST place. Like they abided and supported just about everything ELSE Trump pulled:

Trump's impeachment trial will also be an indictment of Republican lawmakers—and they know it

It's remains WITHOUT doubt, that by and large the Repubican Party, is the party of Q.

Enablers and accomplices to sedition, domestic terrorists, white supremacy, conspiracy theories, INCREASED voter suppression,

Trumper and QAnon conspiracy nuts overtake state GOPs, fueling extreme new anti-democratic law

and the attempted overthrown of democracy, based upon twisted, crackpot, sick f----, Bizarro world "alternate realities," fueled by fanatical right winged zealotry, whereby newer fabrications and fantasies quickly supplant old bullshit that no longer holds any WATER.

The latest being that the treasonous ATTACK upon the nation's Capitol was not orchestrated by Trump and his militia anarchists, but rather some kind of Democratic concocted "hoax" cooked up to (according to Fux News LOONS) "entice 'illegals' to bust through our borders, exploit our resources, and commit crimes...." or some such bat-shit psychosis.

One of the reasons why Republicans continue to act with impunity towards anything even resembling integrity and moral fiber is because Democrats keep bringing knives to a gunfight.

That's why Lindsey Graham still feels emboldened enough to side with and defend Trump and domestic terrorists, and others among the Senate GOP don't mind showing their complete contempt for the impeachment proceeding (and for that matter RULE OF LAW) by drawing pictures, reading travel brochures and doing the same kind of NOTHING they've been paid to do throughout their entire fkn TENURE.

What Democrats SHOULD do, the day after the SYCOPHANTS vote to acquit Trump, is to END THE FILIBUSTER. Right then and there. Then proceed to ram through laws and policies in the same manner McConnell and company rammed through illegitimate and incompetent Trump judges. Fk 'em.

ADD 43 REPUBLICAN SENATORS TO THE RANKS OF INSURRECTIONISTS
​

Today (as I predicted) 43 Republican Senators joined Donald Trump, the rioters who stormed the Capitol resulting in the deaths of six, and hundreds of injuries as lawmakers hid in terror, and the 147 Republican lawmakers who voted to overthrow the VOTE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,

in an attempted OVERTHROW OF DEMOCRACY. And we should NEVER forget nor FORGIVE it:

The headines:

Reactions to the Senate impeachment vote

Anger. Rage. Disgust. That is the vibe after 43 cowards and zealots within the Party of Trump opted not to convict their Dear Leader for inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6 in his historical second impeachment. Seven Republicans—a record-breaking 14% of the caucus—did vote “Guilty,” but it wasn’t enough to protect the nation from four more years of Trump rallies full of emboldened devotees.

Minutes after the verdict was read, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who vowed to acquit ahead of the last day of the trial, had the rotten gall to state that Trump was absolutely guilty, but couldn’t be convicted due an extremely questionable “process” technicality of the Kentucky Republican’s own creation.

If you assume that the Deep South is the only bastion of hate groups in the USA, think again:

KUOW/NPR Radio - University of Washington, Seattle:
Extremist groups 'popping up left and right' in Pacific Northwest states, law enforcement officials say
...
(Excerpt)
...
Extremist roots run deep in the Northwest, weaving through the foundations of unrelated groups and ideologies, going back decades. Whatever the motivation, common themes are antigovernment. They often embrace conspiracy theories or their own interpretation of history or religion. Commonalities include the desire for chaos, violence, and destruction.

The Southern Poverty Law Center's "hate map" shows 22 such groups in Washington state. But modern extremism defies boundaries, physically and ideologically. Groups make inroads to various aspects of society, from military service to political office. They may share antigovernment beliefs, but do not share the same motivation (religion, white supremacy, etc.).
...

24/7 Wall Street:
States With The Most Hate Groups
24/7 Wall St. reviewed data from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a legal advocacy organization with a focus on civil rights, to identify the states with the most hate groups per capita.
...
(Excerpt)
...
#1. Montana
> Hate groups in 2020: 5.55 per million people (total: 6)
> Pct. pop. identifying as white: 85.8% (5th highest)
> Pct. pop. foreign born: 2.3% (3rd lowest)
> Median household income: $57,153 (11th lowest)
> Largest hate group headquartered in state: Last Chance Patriots

Montana has by far the most hate groups per capita of any state, with 5.55 such groups per million residents. This is more than double the U.S. rate of 2.5 hate groups per million. No other state has even 5.0 groups per million. Montana has six hate groups — two anti-Muslim groups, two white nationalist groups, a racist skinhead organization, and a chapter of the Proud Boys.

Montana is one of the least diverse states in the country, with 85.8% of residents identifying as white alone, the fifth highest share in the country. It also has the third lowest share of foreign-born residents among states, at 2.3%. Nationwide, 13.7% of U.S. residents were born outside the country.
...

New Hampshire and Delaware are also on this list of 17 states!
