Guns and Republicans

“America is the freest country in the world, until the evangelicals took over the republican party and decided church rule.

“One woman told me “I’d take a bullet for Trump” then I was hooked. It was like he had marshaled all the people nobody would give the time of day to. That was his genius””

He’s embracing Q full-on now because, like P.T. Barnum before him, he can smell a mark a mile away.

Michael Cohen says Trump once said after meeting evangelical Christians: ‘Can you believe people believe that bullshit?

Jan 6 defendant has just filed request with court to allow him to resume usage of his guns….. for hunting… to save an estimated $5,000/year on his grocery bill.

Atlanta’s Hartfield-Jackson International Airport had more guns seized by TSA than any other airport in 2021. How many were caught at your local airport? See the data.

Fascism: A refresher course

WARNING: GRAPHIC Police in Russia detain a woman protesting the war and put her on a bus. Moments later, her screams are heard from inside the vehicle. This is what Putin does to his own people.

Are you in a cult?

Teddy Daniels, a MAGA candidate who ran for Lt. Gov. in Pennsylvania and lost, says “we need to do something to change” the election system because rural areas are constantly being outvoted by the cities just because … that is where more people live.

Two Republican judges just let Texas seize control of Twitter and Facebook

The Fifth Circuit wants to put Texas Republicans in charge of social media platforms.

An especially right-wing panel of the already conservative United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit handed down an astonishing opinion on Friday, effectively holding that the state of Texas may seize control of content moderation at major social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. The Texas law is potentially an existential threat to the social media industry. Its supposed anti-censorship provisions are so strict that it would likely prevent the major social media platforms from removing content touting Nazism or white supremacy, or even from blocking social media users who engage in campaigns of harassment against other users. Additionally, the law imposes disclosure and procedural requirements on the major platforms that may literally be impossible to comply with.Nevertheless, the Texas law prohibits a social media platform “that functionally has more than 50 million active users in the United States in a calendar month” from banning a user — or even from regulating or restricting a user’s content, or altering the algorithms that surface content to other users — because of that user’s “viewpoint.”

Florida migrant flight money went to company tied to DeSantis adviser
Vertol Systems Company was paid $1.56 million by Florida for work it usually doesn’t do, but state officials are mum on why it got the job. the company was familiar to a key member of the DeSantis administration: Larry Keefe, the state’s “public safety czar” responsible for carrying out the governor’s anti-immigration programs. The company has a private jet that flew from Florida to San Antonio a week before charter flights took 48 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard. Before DeSantis hired Keefe, and before being named U.S. Attorney for Florida’s Northern District by then-President Donald Trump, Keefe represented Vertol Systems in a dozen law suits between 2010 and 2017.

Bucks County Man Indicted on Federal Charges for Assaulting a Reproductive Healthcare Clinic Escort

This is the GOP playbook: engage in political violence and then cry ‘persecution’ when you get caught.
The ‘catholic father’ ASSAULTED a 74-year-old man who was escorting a woman into a Planned Parenthood and harassed countless other women trying to get care.

Like if Jeffrey Dahmer ate someone who had committed a crime, by the same logic he was persecuted for simply doing what he thought was right.

 

There is so much talk of Islamic Fundamentalism that Catholic Fundamentalism is forgotten, which sometimes manages to be worse than Islamic Fundamentalism. This almost looks like the Holy Inquisition of the Middle Ages or looks like what the Taliban are doing in Pakistan.

270 Republicans voted for a tax cut for the rich.

147 Republicans voted to overturn the 2020 election.

0 Republicans voted for COCID relief earlier this year 2021.
Does anyone need anything more?

2020 Trump Becomes the First President Since Eisenhower to Change Faiths in Office Like many Christians switching churches, he now identifies as nondenominational
Trump told Religion News Service last week in a written interview mediated by spiritual advisor Paula White-Cain that he doesn’t consider himself to be Presbyterian. He was confirmed in the church and has called himself Presbyterian numerous times over the years. But no more. “I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian,” Trump said in the statement.

Trump Becomes the First President Since Eisenhower to Change Faiths in Office

We don’t prosecute people for thought crimes, nor do we want to. there is evidence that peaceful protests were infiltrated by white supremacists intent on committing violence & vandalism to discredit the protestors… If they were told to go there by their orange jesus- then that ‘thought crime’ is known as a criminal conspiracy.
Since moving to the White House, however, he has visited many different churches, mostly evangelical and Pentecostal. He has met with numerous ministers, been prayed over, and sought the advice of spiritual counselors like White-Cain, a Florida televangelist often associated with the prosperity gospel, who took a position as the Trump administration’s faith outreach coordinator last year. City of Destiny, the church White-Cain founded in Florida, is nondenominational.

Eisenhower changed “faith” too. Eisenhower made it a priority in his administration to promote belief in God and religion, in very general terms. He saw religion as a spiritual resource in the Cold War conflict with Communism. He added “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance and promoted the National Day of Prayer. He spoke frequently about the importance of “a deeply felt religious faith”—most famously when he said, “Our form of government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith, and I don’t care what it is.” https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2020/october/trump-nondenominational-presbyterian-religious-eisenhower.html

The DOJ is moving too slow. And I think delayed justice is very bad for the future of our democracy.
Destabilizing democratic areas was an *actual* part of the playbook.
A Homeland Security official reveals that he was in the Oval Office when Donald Trump suggested taking the “worst of the worst” of “actual murderers” and “actual rapists and “dumping” them in cities to “destabilize” them. This at least partially explains the organized urban looting of luxury stores by white guys in luxury vehicles. It wasn’t BLM, that’s for sure. Just go to the video.

WHITEHOUSE SWITCHBOARD TIED TO INSURRECTIONISTS DURING RIOT

THE CALLS WERE COMING FROM INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE!

Oval Office red phone???
Former GOP Rep. Riggleman told 60 Minutes of someone in the Trump WH who called a rioter during the January 6 attack. “You get a real ah-ha moment when you see that the White House switchboard had connected to a rioter’s phone while it’s happening.”
The White House switchboard connected a call to a rioter while the Capitol was under siege on January 6, 2021, according to former January 6 committee staffer Denver Riggleman. “I only know one end of that call,” Riggleman said.

No Justice No Peace!!!

SAVE DEMOCRACY
#DOJ GARLAND why hasn’t he FOUND THE CALLER?
WHY HASN’T THE JAN6 COMMITTEE FOUND THE ANSWER.
WAS IT MARK MEADOWS? WAS IT TRUMP?

Congress must consider using 14th Amendment’s Disqualification Clause where warranted. The appalling silence within the Republican Party.

Former DHS official Miles Taylor revealed Friday the extent of Lou Dobbs’ influence inside the White House.
“The president would call us and he would say — and pardon my language — he would say, ‘Why the hell didn’t you watch Lou Dobbs last night? You need to listen to Lou.
What Lou says is what I want to do,'” Taylor told Anderson Cooper. “So if Lou Dobbs peddled a conspiracy theory on late-night television or made an erroneous claim about what should be done either at the border or with some law enforcement operation, the president wanted us to be tuning in every night.” ~ Oliver Darcy CNN
