Like Sinema, I believe the cause of the Civil War was abolitionists not working hard enough to get slavers on board with anti-slavery reforms. If only they had talked about slavery more, and tried to find a compromise (perhaps involving Missouri) everything would've been solved.
The founding fathers would say, “What the hell is a filibuster?”
Projection. Every GOP accusation is an admission of guilt.
Today (1/13/21) the Michigan AG criminally referred, to the US Attorney for Michigan, the fake “electors” who forged electoral certificates as part of an apparent 5-state conspiracy to defraud the United States with respect to the 2020 election. The AG is bound to weigh in now.
Republicans are the party of theft. They all know voter suppression and gerrymandering are about stealing elections. They know the audits were about stealing elections. They know slowing the Post Office was about stealing elections.
The complicity and gaslighting, vis a vis, ‘stop the steal’, represent manifest diseased GOP morals/ethics.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

At the hearing to again appoint him chairman of the FED, Jerome Powell admitted to Senator Warren that the high prices could be profit taking by companies. They were raising prices and charging more because they could. Inflation and profit taking / price gouging is world wide yet the right wing media hopes to pin it all on Biden. I don’t buy it. Scottie
If it is a federal election , it should be ” federalized “. What happened to the right-wing talking point that we should just let the free market work things out?

So the five Republican senators vs 1 Democratic one retiring means? Fact is members of both parties are either retiring, running for different offices, or have been redistricted out of their seat. This is nothing new nor unexpected. As of January 2022, 44 members of Congress—six members of the U.S. Senate and 38 members of the U.S. House—have announced they will not seek re-election. Twenty-nine members—six senators and 23 representatives—have announced their retirement. Five retiring Senate members are Republicans and one is a Democrat, and of the retiring House members, 18 are Democrats and five are Republicans. Fifteen U.S. House members are running for other offices. Four Republicans and four Democrats are seeking seats in the U.S. Senate, one Republican and two Democrats are running for governor, one Republican is running for secretary of state, one Democrat is running for mayor, and one Democrat and one Republican are running for attorney general. No U.S. Senate members are running for other offices. Scottie
Complete bullshit. Try restricting voting places so people can not reach them and if they do they have wait in line times of 8 to 12 hours. Try removing the places to get ID in areas of POC and making it as hard as possible to get one. Try having one drop box in highly populated Democratic areas. The fact is voter restrictions are happening and that is not a democracy. In a democracy the people vote for the people they want in elective office, in the Republican way of governing the elected office holder allows only their supporters to vote. Scottie

In a campaign ad, Nevada gubernatorial candidate Michele Fiore steps out of a Ford F-150 with a handgun holstered on her hip and tells viewers she was one of the first elected officials to endorse Donald Trump in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
“You better believe I was attacked for it,” Fiore says, affirming her commitment to the former president as a country rock-style guitar riff plays in the background. She hopes Trump is watching.
In addition to purchasing ads in Nevada media markets like her competitors, Fiore is investing campaign funds to air her 60-second segment in Palm Beach, Florida, where the former president spends winters at his Mar-a-Lago club.
Fiore first appeared on JMG in 2015 when she declared that she would like to shoot every Syrian refugee in the head, saying, “I’m OK with putting them down, blacking them out, just put a piece of brass in their ocular cavity and end their miserable life. I’m good with that.”
Fiore launched her gubernatorial campaign with a video that shows her “shooting” vaccine mandates, voter fraud, and critical race theory. That same “Lady Trump” ad is now running in Palm Beach in the hope of landing Trump’s endorsement.
Smart story from @metzsam about a Nevada gubernatorial candidate who is running her campaign ads not just in Nevada, but in Palm Beach, Florida.

Ron just went and picked up his one month prescription of JARDIANCE . It cost him $522.00 because our insurance has a 420 dollar co-pay before they kick in. In two weeks I have to do the same. another $522.00 for a 30 day supply of medications. We can not afford a $1044.00 hit in one month just for one medication each on our fixed incomes. The drug companies are making record profits, the insurance companies are making record profits, all the costs are going up while the incomes are stagnate or going down as inflation rises. The people need help. The country is run by the wealthy and large corporations and they are sucking the very life out of the public. This is worse than any vampire movie. They are draining the country of its vitality, and the people of any resources to live. Scottie

“As Trump’s team pushed its discredited voter fraud narrative, the National Archives received forged certificates of ascertainment declaring him and then-Vice President Mike Pence the winners of both Michigan and Arizona and their electors after the 2020 election. Public records requests show the secretaries of state for those states sent those certificates to the Jan. 6 panel, along with correspondence between the National Archives and state officials about the documents.”

Although studies claim Omicron to be mild, there is no plausible reason to think that the highly-transmissible variant will not cause long Covid conditions among survivors. Though much remains unknown about omicron, experts say the variant could lead to long Covid, even with a mild case. Patients with long-term symptoms can experience crushing fatigue, irregular heart rhythms and other issues months after their initial Covid infection. The highly infectious Omicron coronavirus variant causes less severe disease than the Delta strain but it remains a “dangerous virus”, particularly for those who are unvaccinated, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday.

The Justice Department is forming a new domestic terrorism unit to help combat a threat that has intensified dramatically in recent years, a top national security official said Tuesday.
Matthew G. Olsen, the head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, announced the unit in his opening remarks before the Senate Judiciary Committee, noting that the number of FBI investigations of suspected domestic violent extremists — those accused of planning or committing crimes in the name of domestic political goals — had more than doubled since the spring of 2020.
Olsen said the Justice Department already had counterterrorism attorneys who worked both domestic and international cases, and that the new unit would “augment our existing approach” to prosecuting those cases.

Gym Jordan, who helped cover up the sexual assaults of his fellow wrestling coach, has plenty to hide.
Hillary Clinton testified for ELEVEN HOURS and never took the Fifth Amendment or refused to answer any questions because she really did have “nothing to hide.” At the end of her ordeal, the committee chair, Republican Trey Gowdy, a trained prosecutor, apparently unaware that the mic was still hot, confessed that “we got nothing.” He soon resigned his committee chairmanship and then resigned from the congress entirely and has essentially never been heard from again.
All the Republicans who waged years of witch hunts against Hillary, never once getting anything, are now taking the Fifth (probably drinking a few fifths, too), refusing to testify and doing everything possible to avoid questions that they know will prove how directly they were involved in election lies, election fraud and an armed violent attempted overthrow of the United States Capitol.
From Raw Story:
“To answer Jim Jordan, I would quote Jim Jordan from the views that he expressed in the final Benghazi report, where he said that all of the truth must come out,” said Raskin. “Everybody needs to testify, and nobody’s got the right to hide anything from Congress. So, I think he had it right then. Jim Jordan, more than anybody else, knows what dogged, aggressive investigation is about, even when he’s on a wild goose chase, he demands all the information he wants, and we’re not on that. We are on the central investigative mission certainly of this decade, if not this century, to get to the bottom of this terrible political crime that was incited and to a substantial extent organized by Donald Trump.”

Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine announced today that CORBEVAX™, a protein sub-unit COVID-19 Vaccine, whose technology was created and engineered at its Center for Vaccine Development (CVD), has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to launch in India with other underserved countries to follow.
Dubbed “The World’s COVID-19 Vaccine”, it uses a traditional recombinant protein-based technology that will enable its production at large scales making it widely accessible to inoculate the global population. The initial construct and production process of the vaccine antigen was developed at Texas Children’s Hospital CVD, led by co-directors Drs. Maria Elena Bottazzi and Peter Hotez and in-licensed from BCM Ventures, Baylor College of Medicine’s integrated commercialization team, to Hyderabad-based vaccine and pharmaceutical company Biological E. Limited (BE).
I have debunked this right wing talking point before. Crime is up currently in cities run by both the right and the left, but the misleading right wing media is making it out to be a lot worse than it is and they leave out it is happening in cities run by the Republicans. The right wing uses talking points instead of facts. The crime we have now is less than we had just less than a decade ago. What the right is trying to do is scare the voters into voting for Republicans saying they will be harmed if they don’t and only Republicans can save them. It is a talking point they have used for as long as I can remember. They claim the Democrats are soft on crime and weak on the military. Both are incorrect. Scottie
Rivers is a die hard far right cartoonist.

Covered this one before. The CDC guidelines take into account the reality that the US doesn’t have the testing kits we need to do proper testing. The CDC guidelines are easy to understand if you wish to do so. If you listened to the misleading right wing the guidelines are written in a now dead language by space monkeys. It is a case of saying what you wish ere true instead of reporting the reality. Scottie
The US undervalues teachers and uses them as childcare baby sisters to park kids somewhere so the parents can go to work to make profit for the upper incomes. The New Mayor of NY even said it, he needs kids in schools so the parents can work when he was talking about wanting to stop testing for Covid. DeathSantis threatened teachers, schools, and districts if they dared to require masks or vaccines and worse if they tried to do remote learning. Deathsantis has made it clear he is denying Covid is in Florida because it is hurting the tourism trade and the profits wont flow if we admit the truth. Better to infect everyone they say and get it over with. Problem is it is not over with then. There is so far no herd immunity with the coronavirus which is shown as you can get it a second and even third time. Teachers are humans, people with families and they want to not get Covid also. They have the same right to protect themselves as everyone else. The fact that they stop the states from getting tax money and the upper class incomes from profit is the states problem. Pay for more teachers to spread the students out, enforce mask and vaccine requirements, and do remote learning when needed. But the states don’t want to spend more money on kids or teachers / schools, better to let them all die on their own dime the states feel. Scottie
One side, the Democrats are fighting for the people and the public good. The other side, the Republicans are fighting against the public good and for the wealthy / large corporations.

Mail in ballots have been shown to be safe and secure way for people to vote. Several states use only mail in ballots with little problems and no fraud. Drop boxes are simply convenient for people who are busy especially with the slowed down mail system. Again no evidence of any fraud. The only large scale ballot harvesting fraud was in North Carolina where a Republican operative took a bunch of ballots to mark them for the Republican candidate. He got caught. The point is small scale fraud happens and the people get caught. Like the four people so far from the Villages in Florida who voted more than once for tRump. Ballot gathering or bunching is simply a convenience to help people who can not get out and post their ballot themselves. It is a service not a crime. What the right doesn’t like about the voting rights bill is it helps people who have a right to vote to vote. The right doesn’t want all eligible voters to vote because they will lose. But that is democracy, they need to change their message to appeal to more people. They do not seem to want a democracy, but instead to allow only the people who vote for them to vote.
The allowing non-citizens to vote in local communities where they have lived for many years makes sense. It gives people who live there a say in their community. Studies have shown that when people are part of the community they work for the well being of that community. This is not federal elections, not even state office holders, it is simply local community issues. No big deal and no down side. Scottie
Equating the ending of a 20 year war and the removing of US troops along with mostly peaceful protests against police abuse / murder of unarmed people to violent attacks against the country with thousands of deaths or the attack on the capital to stop a legislative action is despicable. The ones mentioned by VP Harris were attacks against the US sovereignty. That is a huge difference from the others added despite the right wing media hype over them. Scottie
I almost did not do the roundup today. I got up at 4:30 AM to get ready for my first in the morning doctors appointment. I got multiple shots into my spine. They give a numbing shot to the area, then quickly follow it up with the insertion of a catheter, and then come back and inject the substance into the vertebrae . My vertebrae are misshapen and destroyed. They grow in ways that catch or pinch my nerves. Some times they stretch the nerves and others they smash / pinch them. Each produces different sensations and pain levels. At one injection the pain was so bad that I nearly passed out. The doctor told me he had to inject the stuff right above the nerve causing it to have a lot of pressure so the signal it sent to the brain was intense to say the least.
I got home and Ron fed me a wonderful baked pasta dish he made and I went right to bed. Then hours later I got up and started the Roundup. I love it so much I really want to do it. But I have to do a bunch of legal paperwork in the next few days to get a bunch of stuff done so the roundup may be late or just skipped. Best wishes to everyone. Scottie

It is absolutely wild to me how many people legit think exposing an entire generation of kids to Covid is better than skipping a couple weeks of school.
We know long haul Covid is very harmful, we know some aspects of Covid in kids manifests after they seem to get better. What we don’t know is what the long term effects of Covid are on the brain / nervous system. If it causes you to lose taste and smell when sick, what does it do long term to your sensory nerves? Do we really want to take the chance with kids?

School choice is a dog whistle, it is code for what the right really wants. Segregated schools paid for by the tax payer. They basically want schools that teach / preach their views paid for by the public. That was what most charter schools were, a disguised attempt to get around the public curriculum but being paid for by the public. Religious people want to be able to send their kids to private schools paid for by the taxpayer so kids can be indoctrinated into science denying bigots, the white supremacist want white only schools so their kids don’t have to mix with the non-whites they are taught to look down on, and the wealthy want you the public to pay for expensive great schools their kids get to attend so they wont have to associate with the general population they see as be low them.

Of course Republicans would prefer to quietly strangle your right to vote like a python than publicly tread on the topic. In the reality-reversed alternative universe Ramirez is writing from, he thinks allowing more people to vote more easily with equal access for all voters and all votes being counted with equal weight is treading on freedom? What Michael Ramirez wants to see is an election system in which white suburban and rural voters can get in and out of a convenient, nearby polling place in five minutes, while those in minority areas see most polling places closed until they have to drive very far and then wait in line for six or seven hours (with a prohibition on providing them with food or water) in order to vote, with the proviso that if the state legislature doesn’t like the outcome, it can throw out the results and install its own outcome.
Ramirez wants to return to the original voting standard as envisioned by the original founders: white male landowners are the only ones allowed to vote. He seems oblivious to the fact (or just doesn’t care about facts) that we have had twenty-seven amendments since then, each written by a new set of founders, that have equal weight to the original Constitution and which include many expansions of the right to vote to include all adult citizens age eighteen or over regardless of race, ethnicity, previous condition of servitude, gender and without undue burdens imposed.

Pearl Harbor and 9/11 took more American lives than the January 6 attempted coup so, in that sense, were greater tragedies.
But Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were attacks by FOREIGN agents.
January 6 was an act of treason perpetrated by a sitting president to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power after HE LOST AN ELECTION BY MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION VOTES.
January 6 was an act of terroristic treason COMMITTED BY AMERICANS, not foreigners.
January 6 was the first time the U.S. CAPITOL had been taken over by hostile forces since the War of 1812. Not even during the Civil War did the Capitol get taken over; the KKKonfederate flag was never raised inside the U.S. Capitol until January 6.
January 6 was the first time ever that the Constitutional electoral role of certifying a presidential election was disrupted by force.
After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, you didn’t have 30-40% of the population SUPPORTING THE FOREIGN ATTACKERS.
Comparing January 6 and Pearl Harbor or 9/11 is like comparing an orange with a bushel of apples. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were FOREIGN attacks that caused more loss of life but united our country. January 6 caused fewer deaths but further divided our country.
ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS, MINIMIZES OR RATIONALIZES THE TRAITOROUS, TERRORISTIC ATTEMPTED COUP is a traitor.
The U.S. Constitution provides two possible definitions of treason: either giving aid or comfort to the enemy (with enemy defined in legal decisions to mean as an adversarial combatant in a declared war), which clearly does not apply, or being in open rebellion against the United States government, which applied for those who waged violent rebellion against the United States during the Civil War and reasonably applies to what happened on January 6.
A violent, armed insurrection against the United States Capitol for the purpose of stopping the congress from completing a CONSTITUTIONALLY-MANDATED PRO-FORMA DUTY in order to OVERTHROW A LAWFUL ELECTION is clearly an act of open rebellion against the United States.
Much evidence has already been made public and much evidence will be revealed in the days to come as more serious charges are filed.
And we all watched on television as an ARMED MOB of Trump insurrectionists, in response to directions from the president in a carefully-planned military maneuver including printed T-shirts equating themselves to July 4, 1776, invaded the U.S. Capitol and forcibly disrupted a CONSTITUTIONALLY-MANDATED pro-forma session to complete a federal election. They came armed, including weapons of various sorts (including some firearms, we now know), and including zip ties, wall climbing equipment, wearing bulletproof vests, and many other indications of a well-planned insurrection.
Whether or not the Justice Department decides to file charges of treason, the actions that have been charged and proved so far, with more to come, clearly rise to the Constitutional definition.
All those who defend, rationalize, minimize or excuse these acts of violent rebellion against the United States are complicit after the fact in the treason.
