"Fox has been taken over by an anti-Christ system and they are spewing a doctrine of demons."

The guy also said the Insurrection Act of 1807 was passed 2 years ago and we have been living under it since.

I imagine this is the kind of inciteful extremism that happened (happens?) in the middle east that people used to make fun of and show how backwards those cultures were.

It goes to show how low the culture has fallen. People with limited economic and social prospects get wrapped up in crazy religious cults and conspiracies that spew hate and violence.

Yeah but Christianity has been doing a pretty good job of closing that gap in recent years.

That video is goddamn bananas. It's terrifying to think that that type of Apocalypse porn resonates with tens of millions of people. These folks are legit drooling for a holy war.

It honestly might be for the best for humanity in the long run if there actually is some kind of holy war between radical Christians and radical Muslims. If a few billions crazies on either side all took each other out, we could actually get something done around here.

That was pretty loltastic in the video when he took a break from spewing the crazy to take some low key shots at his super conspiracy theory addicted neighbor, only to then endorse what he advised about getting a generator from Walmart.

I turned on FN following the vote. Some afternoon show opens with statements about "the radical left" endlessly persecuting Trump and how brave he was 4 years. It's easy to understand how tons of viewers could be susceptible.

Absolutely nobody in the world should take the United States seriously.
We should just trade Alabama for Puerto Rico. Is there a way to expel a state for asshattery?

Well, I can see his concern - there is little as important as the pandemic right now, and so continuity of strong leadership in the face of that is what is more important, so it makes sense to let Trump continue to...

OK, you're right, Tuberville doesn't seem too bright.

This apparently a misquote, as it omitted a keyphrase. He originally said to have a swearing in and inauguration later (paraphrased). Which would mean Biden would be sworn in and the festivities postponed.

Ya this maneuver by Pelosi may be proved pretty impotent quickly as a way to get Boebert and others to comply with security screening to get in to the Capital...

Pelosi announces lawmakers will be fined $5,000 if they bypass metal detectors to House floor

Usually hitting politicians in their pocket book is effective but in this case all someone like Lauren Boebert has to say is "I've created a Fund Me page for those who believe we need to stand up for our 2A rights and not let them suppress us with the threat of fines".

She could quickly turn this into a profitable endeavour where the money she would raise would quickly outstrip any fines she might pay.

Boebert will hopefully soon be in Federal custody. So she'll start a go fund me for her legal costs for sure.

‘We got to hold this door’

Spoiler:




...“Everything they did was in a military fashion,” Glover said, saying he witnessed rioters apparently using hand signs and waving flags to signal positions, and using what he described as “military formations.” They took high positions and talked over wireless communications....

...The officers had been at it for hours, unaware that others in the mob had already breached the building through different entrances. For them, the West Terrace doors — which open into a tunnel-like hallway allowing access to an area under the Rotunda — represented the last stand before the Capitol fell.

“Dig in!” Fanone yelled, his voice cracking, as he and others were being struck with their own clubs and shields, ripped from their hands by rioters. “We got to get these doors shut.”

...

“They were overthrowing the Capitol, the seat of democracy, and I f---ing went,” Fanone said.

The officers at the West Terrace eventually pushed people away from the doors. It was only then that Fanone saw the immense, volatile crowd stretched out in front of him and realized what police were up against.

“We weren’t battling 50 or 60 rioters in this tunnel,” he said in the first public account from D.C. police officers who fought to protect the Capitol during last week’s siege. “We were battling 15,000 people. It looked like a medieval battle scene.”

Cops at scene said they didn't use weapons because of the overwhelming number of the mob. They knew many of the mob were armed, and felt it was a gunfight they'd lose.
Sounds plausible. But according according to some conservatives, those were mostly peaceful protesters. Meanwhile, tonight's Twilight Episode will be about Aliens who visit American woman in their dreams to have sex with them. Stay tuned.

I don't buy into the myth of America's recent "fall". Jim Jones passed out his Kool Aid in 1978 and Oral Roberts was selling BS to his followers 40 years ago, telling them that a 900-foot-tall Jesus Christ assured him that his massive City of Faith project would be built.

Lots of earlier examples: in the mid-nineteenth century 1000s of "Millerites" sold their property and gathered waiting for the end of the world. (When it didn't end they redefined themselves as Seventh Day Adventists and carried on.)

I often wonder this myself.

I offer this: "I don't care" or "When is the next hockey game on?" (I debated on NFL, but, well, you know...)

Hockey is for people with health insurance but no guns, not really the midpoint of America.

DC officers speak out following Capitol riot.

After being attacked by the mob, a handful of rioters stepped in to "save" officers.

"Thank you... but f*** you for being there."

I'm really glad he's ok. It didn't look good at the beginning.
It !makes me sick to look at those images and have to listen to the right about how it wasn't that bad and BLM protests and how they love the police and yadyadayada.

Maybe this will be a wake up call to the police who the real enemy is. Naah.

yeah, for sure

most people don't take their cults very seriously

I would expect there to be plenty of cases where federal judges were impeached after they formally left the bench (or appointed office). No need to complete it prior to January 20.
