There's nothing libertarian about the Proud Boys. Their stance on immigration alone destroys that narrative.

If you guys report all the Rasmussen results you're not leaving anything for ghostpanther to do.

The more observant among us noticed the several times last year Trump and his supporters here all shut up about Rasmussen because even they couldn't spin the polls into a positive.

1) Who actually attacked the police officer, and how do we know?

As far as this goes, there's pretty graphic video which I will not link that shows it happening--some of it from the phones of those involved in the riots. I'm fairly certain the FBI already knows who those responsible are.

[wunksta]

Yeah and with the amount of people that had cameras and phones out and recording, it's unlikely that the FBI doesn't have multiple angles.

Apparently Trump has difficulties finding lawyers who would be willing to work for him during his upcoming impeachement trial.

I wonder if he would be entitled to a public defender?

Oh please let it be Rudy and Sydney. That dynamic duo. It has to be on pay per view then just for the insanity.

He'll have to pay Rudy after all

[Xeones]

Rudy actually has a higher chance of facing inciting a riot charges than Trump does given that he called for trial by combat.

Trump, on the eve of facing a historic second impeachment trial for inciting the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week, is having trouble finding a legal team to defend him.

Allies of the outgoing president have been canvassing Washington’s legal landscape looking for representation but so far are coming up short. Lawyers who defended him in the previous impeachment trial, including Jay Sekulow and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, have said no this time, according to people familiar with the matter.

Other lawyers who have defended Trump at times, including former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi, Eric Herschmann, Pat Philbin and Marc Kasowitz aren’t interested in joining a team this time, the people said. Some of the lawyers who don’t want a role have privately said what Trump did was indefensible.

More broadly, a number of prominent law firms have refused to engage in any legal representation involving the president’s actions following the Nov. 3 election.

Trump’s actions have caused significant fissures within the GOP with 10 House Republicans joining with Democrats in supporting the president’s impeachment. Other prominent Republicans have also spoken out, including Steven Calabresi, a founder of the influential Federalist Society, who co-authored an op-ed in the New York Times saying Trump should be disqualified from ever holding public office.

With less than a week before Trump exits the presidency, there’s little incentive for lawyers to take on an unpopular client accused of encouraging his supporters to maraud through the Capitol.

Man, it's like actions have consequenes or something.

Nah, that was just a reference to the medieval England documentary, Game of Thrones.

Gotcha... although I don't think Greenwald is even that. he seems more like someone who just wants to stir shit for profit.

GUYS, PANIC! THEY FOUND US OUT!

Trump is really a secret deep state Democrat plant! Yes, this is probably a troll post, but I'm enjoying it.

Hey remember when ah fuck it. Trump lied about handing out more vaccines.

Governors are accusing the Trump administration of lying about the availability of additional coronavirus vaccines, following an announcement from top officials that doses will no longer be held in reserve.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said this week the administration would no longer be holding back the second of two doses, and encouraged states to open vaccination eligibility to more people.

But governors say there is no reserve and their limited supply of vaccines will not increase. Instead of being able to dramatically expand access to millions more people, states will have to continue to manage at their current levels.

It goes on from there, but the general idea is
1) Trump and his admin have yet to prove they can communicate with state governments.
2) They claimed they had something they didn't.
3) Relying on Trump to be true to his word for...some reason, states had expanded eligibility only to get no more supply.
4) And it's all states, not just blue ones.

In Oklahoma, Deputy Commissioner of Health Keith Reed said the state planned to ramp up vaccination efforts because they were anticipating getting a much bigger delivery from the federal government.

He told reporters Friday he was blindsided by the change.

"We were given a clear impression that for every prime dose we were receiving each week, there was an equivalent amount of vaccine held back for a second dose," Reed said, but at some point that was no longer happening, and the state was not informed.

A great deal of this could have been handled much more intelligently. Okay, I could say that about a LOT these last four years. But if Trump hadn't been in such a rush -- which, having lost the election, he had no reason to be -- and offered a smaller, but more sustainable rollout, it would still be a lower number but at least there wouldn't be mass confusion and shortages.

As we're all so used to saying, Trump doesn't pay what he promises. Everyone here should have seen this coming, especially the Trump supporters.

The previous administration, the shelves were empty. They should speak to the previous administration to see what's up with that.

I love how Trump is the biggest critic of Trump.

(deep breath)

Okay. Let's assume the post was offered as a theory in the spirit of discussion.

Let's say Trump was a Deep Left State Plant ("avacado") designed to get Republicans to put all their faith in him, screw up monumentally, and sabotage the Republican Party.

...y'all still voted for someone with all this known baggage. You knew he was an actor. You knew he hung out with the Clintons. You knew he had no experience. You knew he was financially bankrupt, morally bankrupt, and a horrible human being who never pays people.

It's like the claims of election fraud without proof. If Trump was that good of a saboteur, so good he's ruined his business, got impeached twice, lost all his friends and is very likely going to jail without Pence's help, all for the good of the Democratic Party...well, then, yay? I guess we won?

(gestures at smoking pile of ashes from the last four years)

Yay....

UPDATE: With the shortage now open, Trump's own CDC admits in public that @Benggaul has some horrible numbers on the way.

The U.S. could tally more than 87,000 new coronavirus deaths over the next three weeks as the nation grapples with the deadliest phase of the pandemic, according to a projection from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC’s national ensemble forecast — an aggregate of dozens of independently developed forecasts — estimates the U.S. will report a total of anywhere from 440,000 to 477,000 COVID-19 deaths by the week ending Feb. 6.

You all know the deal. 87,000 deaths in three weeks is over 4,000 a day.

National Guard presence upped to 25,000 troops.

Because Trump supporters are such a credible threat to Democracy, the US is fielding a small army to stop them.

Well, that just means the Trump Crumbling Wall will have to be named something else.

Fucking hell...even if we start the clock in Feb 2020, that means covid killed more Americans in one year than were killed throughout 4 years of WWII, which is at roughly 405K.

I desperately hope that we don't surpass the combined total of Americans and traitors killed in the Civil War, because we're already 20K dead over the American deaths in the Civil War.
