Pot-Smoking Agitators Burst Into My Office

I was physically confronted Tuesday by aggressive, pot-smoking agitators at my Capitol Hill office. They attempted to shove open a private door, throwing their shoulders into it and injuring my wrist in the process (thank goodness not seriously). Some from the crowd were arrested. Also thankfully, my staff and innocent bystanders weren’t injured. But it could have been much worse.

This aggression, by people who disagree with my opposition to the legalization of recreational marijuana, demonstrates a growing problem with political discourse today. Violence should have no place in politics. We’re all Americans. We’re entitled to express our opinions, but we must draw the line at physical aggression.

Mr. Harris, a Republican, represents Maryland’s First Congressional District.

I wonder if he voted for the guy who endorsed beating up protesters at rallies, or the woman who didn't

No.

Skavid Dlansky might be the best gimmick account that I've seen in a long time. It's such an accurate portrayal of DS's posts in politics.

Might have to go back to sup bro to find a better gimmick.

County GOP chairman in North Carolina suggests Ford was too unattractive to assault

Bonus points: the picture he used to make this suggestion is not a picture of Christine Blasey Ford, no matter how much he insists it is

Quote:

Contacted by The News & Observer, Lancaster said in a phone interview that there’s nothing inappropriate about his post.

“I didn’t say anything. I just said this is her picture. Basically, the media is distorting the facts on this lady. Everything she’s said is made up. She has no evidence whatsoever. I support that theory,” Lancaster said.

Lancaster said he takes issue with how the news media is portraying Ford’s early life.

“The media wants you to think she was a beautiful young lady who was on her way home from the tennis courts ... ” Lancaster said. “I just wanted you to see the real person. I wanted people to see that this is really her.”

The picture in the Facebook post that Lancaster shared is not of Ford. The photo has been circulating on the internet as a meme since as early as 2012.

The Cruelty Is the Point

Quote:

The Trump era is such a whirlwind of cruelty that it can be hard to keep track. This week alone, the news broke that the Trump administration was seeking to ethnically cleanse more than 193,000 American children of immigrants whose temporary protected status had been revoked by the administration, that the Department of Homeland Security had lied about creating a database of children that would make it possible to unite them with the families the Trump administration had arbitrarily destroyed, that the White House was considering a blanket ban on visas for Chinese students, and that it would deny visas to the same-sex partners of foreign officials. At a rally in Mississippi, a crowd of Trump supporters cheered as the president mocked Christine Blasey Ford, the psychology professor who has said that Brett Kavanaugh, whom Trump has nominated to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, attempted to rape her when she was a teenager. “Lock her up!” they shouted.

Quote:

We can hear the spectacle of cruel laughter throughout the Trump era. There were the border-patrol agents cracking up at the crying immigrant children separated from their families, and the Trump adviser who delighted white supremacists when he mocked a child with Down syndrome who was separated from her mother. There were the police who laughed uproariously when the president encouraged them to abuse suspects, and the Fox News hosts mocking a survivor of the Pulse Nightclub massacre (and in the process inundating him with threats), the survivors of sexual assault protesting to Senator Jeff Flake, the women who said the president had sexually assaulted them, and the teen survivors of the Parkland school shooting. There was the president mocking Puerto Rican accents shortly after thousands were killed and tens of thousands displaced by Hurricane Maria, the black athletes protesting unjustified killings by the police, the women of the #MeToo movement who have come forward with stories of sexual abuse, and the disabled reporter whose crime was reporting on Trump truthfully. It is not just that the perpetrators of this cruelty enjoy it; it is that they enjoy it with one another. Their shared laughter at the suffering of others is an adhesive that binds them to one another, and to Trump.

Echoing DeVaut:

Quote:

This isn’t incoherent. It reflects a clear principle: Only the president and his allies, his supporters, and their anointed are entitled to the rights and protections of the law, and if necessary, immunity from it. The rest of us are entitled only to cruelty, by their whim. This is how the powerful have ever kept the powerless divided and in their place, and enriched themselves in the process.
