Aren’t you precious? Thank you, Karen. Your virtue signaling to the checkered pants and cocktail crowd is duly noted.

How are you going to vote for a legitimate candidate when the elections are nothing but an illegitimate fraud, produced and directed by professional political career criminals?

Answer the question.

Personally, I wish they’d have burned it to the ground, with all the crispy congresscritters in it. I really don’t give a damn about anything in DC anymore.

agreed...The system was discredited yesterday. It was supposed to be the big celebration. “A historic moment.” Instead, guy in a Viking suit.

"A party of the right that rejects the mob of people who spent their hard-earned, working-class money to drive to Washington, D.C., and wave a flag as deplorables will never win, or deserve to, any more than a party of the left could reject naming something Black Lives Matter plaza."

LMAO.

I am usually not one to sit here and try to decide whether a particular incident in American politics is a "victory" or a "defeat," but in the case of yesterday's events I'd simply say that it was a complete vindication of every shred of cynicism and outrage that normal Americans have harbored for years.

Over the last 30 years I have witnessed one U.S. institution after another being thoroughly discredited -- through its own malfeasance. And with that in mind, I'd say there is nothing more appropriate for 2021 than a scene with a guy in a Viking suit storming Congress, and a "mostly peaceful" protester talking selfies in the Speaker's chair in her House office, and making sure to post for posterity that he had put his feet up on her desk and scratched his b@lls while sitting there.

[The author makes some mystifying statements that I simply don’t think are accurate, but he has a way with words that is epic. ]


He’s being mealy-mouthed because writing think-pieces is how he makes a living and being too overt could cost him his career. His basic point appears to be - what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Increasingly, the right, at a grassroots level, is starting to cotton on that the Democrats are using Antifa and BLM as their cat’s paw to get things they want implemented into law. Violence works - the key is mobilizing your people to punish the politicians and businesses who get in your way and try to stigmatize the right’s partisans.

Imagine if Mike Lee and Mitt Romney had to run a gauntlet of right-wing protestors every time he left his home in the morning. If Facebook suddenly lost half its American advertisers and/or users, what would its stock do? What would happen to Zuckerberg’s CEO spot if he failed to moderate his policies re right-wing users?

Because we are the party of adults. Notice most don’t become republican until 30. Yes some like us are cradle to death republicans, but a good majority become republicans after being older and more mature.

Ann Coulter has a new column on where Trump went wrong. She has many valid points. Can’t post it here because I would be tarred and feathered and run off FR.
