The 1987 NZ stock market crash didn't have much warmed over goebbels It was more like cowboys stealing every last dollar and bankrupting the country Especially the last mug money was in there. I.e. school kids like me In those days the culture war was going full neo-lib
Hit them where it hurts: 3. @CommerceBank's PAC favors Republicans over Democrats by a 6 to 1 margin. The bank now says it has "suspended all support for officials who have impeded the peaceful transfer of power"@MarriottIntl released a similar statement to Popular Information.https://t.co/r4Z4TjJUCe pic.twitter.com/zvEJyl3yKg— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) January 10, 2021
They have been relatively(!) reasonable in recent weeks. At least the few articles I have come across.
This point needs to be made over and over again: the traitors do not get to set the conditions for reconciliation: The seditionists, insurrections, and goddamned Confederate traitors who took up arms against the United States DON'T GET TO DICTATE THE TERMS OF THEIR SURRENDER. https://t.co/NxtfgYR6ag— Stonekettle (@Stonekettle) January 8, 2021
Yes. The acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia says "hundreds" of people may face charges for storming the Capitol. And, he says, if evidence points to crimes by elected officials — such as incitement of violence — he's prepared to bring charges.https://t.co/ydzOpYcJlF— NPR (@NPR) January 10, 2021
Maybe McCarthy will start by calling for resignations of House GOP members who voted to overturn the election, even after the assault on the Capitol. Oops, he was one of them.
He did a follow up tweet that the cop on the ground getting hit was a DC cop, not Sicknick. Point still remains.

Also, in the video of the woman who was killed, there was a guy who looked like he could have been Latino.
It's worse. Some Cons may have been giving out locations of congresspeople. Full on insurrection with inside help. Why they're so desperate to move past it. Expect a military strike this week to take our attention away from it.
One of my Facebook contacts went to the Capitol. He is an Asian. He seemed to be hanging out with an African American. I don't know if they are friends or not. He posted photos and videos of himself with the African American standing or chilling around the steps of the Capitol. He did not post photos of himself inside the building. I don't know if they broke the law by staying outside. He was blaming the media for fake news. He even said that it was not white supremacy because he and the African American were around.
I think that most people didn't think a breach would happen because it is the Capitol, accepted to be on of the best protected buildings in the world. I also think that where we are coming from is that if we knew what was going to happen (the violence), the CP certainly did, and probably knew more than us. What it turns to is that there was utter incompetence, the links of which we could not conceive of coming from the CP. To me, it was a failure in leadership of the CP, but there certainly things they could have done better. One of the things which has been talked about is why a perimeter was not set up further out, and why it was not done with more difficult-to-move barriers.
IIRC, it was the National Review that did a deep dive into the court filings regarding the election so they could illuminate the huge chasm between the filings and what Trumpers were claiming in tweets. Basically, there are serious repurcussions to lying to a judge. And serious money to be made lying to your cult. And no law against lying on social media, so . . .
James Clyburn on possibly not sending the articles of impeachment after the first 100 days of Biden's presidency. Very smart, no need to distract the Senate with the impeachment circus in the first few months, maybe after May or June. Start at minute 3:30 https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/10/sotu-clyburn-full.cnn
Every mayor in the US right now should get assurances from their police forces that if any MAGA shit goes down, they will react with alacrity and with the proper use of force. Break out those tanks they got from the military
I disagree completely. 3 months for Repubs to obfuscate, distract, change the subject, jump on any Biden admin mis-steps, etc?? the media and the public mood will have moved on and Trump will be given time to do who-the-fukk-knows-what damage. a week is long time in politics, let alone 3 bloody months.
