YoungHegelian said...: @Inga,

Trump needs to be removed NOW. Amendment 25 him today.

To be replaced with who? Pence?

You think this is about Trump. It's not. And it's even less about Pence.; 1/6/21, 3:25 PM

What a lying shit TeaBagHag is: it was the Michigan Democrat ballot-stuffers who said "We will not take much more of black people overturning our grip on power" when they stole a Senate seat from John James.

Fuck you and your stupid, noxious lies. James did better in the 2020 election than he did in the 2018 election; it just wasn't good enough. James -- and Trump for that matter -- didn't lose Michigan by virtue of some sort of "steal" in Detroit and Wayne County. Both Trump and James did a bit better there than any Republicans in the past.

Instead, they -- and especially Trump -- lost badly in the suburbs of Oakland, Livingston, Macomb and Washtenaw Counties.; 1/6/21, 3:25 PM

Biden is on the TV right now. Absolutely failing to understand what is happening right in front of him.

1/6/21, 3:13 PM

Asking a senile puppet like Joe Biden to respond to a takeover of Congress within 24 hours is like teaching a cow quantum mechanics. It's possible, but you'd need a ton of drugs.; 1/6/21, 3:26 PM
Qwinn said...: Oh no, the lefties are calling me crazy and calling me names! That's sure to make me and every other person you've been attacking, abusing and disenfranchising for decades roll over and tuck into the fetal position just wishing we could earn your friendship and respect.

On our worst day, we are better and saner than you fucks are on your best day.

We patiently tolerated your continuous crimes and lust for totalitarian rulebfor decades, until you came to believe you could get away with *anything* and we'd just take it forever.

But we are Americans, motherfuckers.

I warned you. You treat violence like a dial, but for us its a switch. And you have been desperately trolling for us to flip that switch. Wish granted, finally. But you chose... poorly.; 1/6/21, 3:32 PM
ga6 said...: Lon Horiuchi?; 1/6/21, 3:32 PM
Qwinn said...: Leftists lying again. I was at the Capitol. They did raise a Trump flag, but no American flag was removed.

God you people are scum.; 1/6/21, 3:33 PM
mockturtle said...: The Democrats are the insurrectionists. They have stolen our votes and dare destroying our Constitution.; 1/6/21, 3:37 PM
Inga said...: “But we are Americans, motherfuckers.”

You lost the privilege to call yourself an American, insurrectionists are traitors. You are a Trumpian.; 1/6/21, 3:37 PM
Qwinn said...: ACTUALLY, the Trump supporters brought a *gigantic* American flag, so large it pretty much covered an entire set of bleachers.

The claim we *removed* or *replaced* any American flag is pure fucking slander. We *brought* tens of thousands of American flags there.

Seriously, go fuck yourself, Inga, you lying worm.; 1/6/21, 3:39 PM
Leland said...: Damn, they shutdown the markets before I could put my buy in for Orville Redenbacher stock.; 1/6/21, 3:39 PM
Qwinn said...: You and yours are the insurrectionists, Inga. And your crimes are worthy of the penalties for treason. We will die before we let you turn America into the kind of communist hellhole that my entire family had to give up everything in order to flee.

No more running. No more escaping the tyrants' grip. This is where we make our stand. And we will not stop until you all pay for your crimes.

You might have heard that put another way before.

No justice, no peace!; 1/6/21, 3:43 PM
mockturtle said...: Right, Qwinn: No justice, no peace! No justice, no peace! No justice, no peace!; 1/6/21, 3:47 PM
Dr Weevil said...: Chuck:
1. Did you ever gloat about Trump "hiding in a bunker" when the White House was much more violently attacked a few months ago? Answer the fucking question. Yes or no?
2. A hundred million or more Americans are still waiting for any kind of judicial or legislative hearing that would allow evidence to be presented, with discovery and cross-examination, to see whether the last two elections (Nov 3 and yesterday) were in fact stolen. The fact that so many in both parties are so blatantly desperate to avoid such a hearing or any airing of the evidence is proof in itself that they - and you - know that the presidential election, and the Michigan senatorial race, and probably at least one of the Georgia seats yesterday, were in fact stolen. You are all just hoping to drag your feet for two more weeks, so Biden can pardon all the election-thieves, and the Russiagate conspirators, and all the other lefty criminals, fix things so the Uniparty never loses an election again, then sit back and collect all the lovely Chinese graft while fucking over Israel and every other decent country in the world. Fuck you.
P.S. If the Michigan race was so clean, why did a prominent Democrat tell the world where a Republican's children go to school? Because she wouldn't sign off on an election so corrupt that no one could even get the numbers to add up.
To repeat, fuck you, Chuck.; 1/6/21, 3:47 PM
Quayle said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 1/6/21, 3:49 PM
jim said...: To be replaced with who? Pence?

Yes, let him act as president for the next 2 weeks; 1/6/21, 3:53 PM
jim said...: Trump has been and continues to play with fire. He will not stop. Pence needs to step up, though I doubt he will.; 1/6/21, 3:54 PM
steve uhr said...: Leland. Good point I need to make a Cheeto run. Baked not fried; 1/6/21, 3:57 PM
Qwinn said...: Soap Box: Captured completely by the Left.
Ballot Box: Stuffed completely by the Left.
Jury Box: Nullified due to lack of standing, by the Left.

Only one box left. The cartridge box.. And the Left will, with metaphysical certainly, come for that one too if the steal succeeds. They're even talking about it casually as if it wouldn't even be controversial.

Why is anyone surprised at today's events? The only criticism the Right deserves is for letting the Left get away with their shit for so long that this has become necessary. But apologize for today, or more of it tomorrow, and next day, and every day until the blatant theft is overturned? Not one single apology will ever come.; 1/6/21, 3:59 PM
Big Mike said...: I remarked to the wife that pro-Trump (actually anti-election fraud) protesters are a bad look for Republican populists, but probably a necessary one. I have been commenting on this blog since 2007 or 2008, and I have reluctantly come to the conclusion after this time that force and violence are the only thing that Althouse, and people to her left, seem to respect. Facts don’t work. Logic doesn’t work. Trying to develop in her some empathy for working people who are not as well off as she is, that doesn’t work either. Is there anything left besides force and violence?; 1/6/21, 3:59 PM
steve uhr said...: Quinn.
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you,
Don't you know. Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight.; 1/6/21, 4:04 PM
mockturtle said...: A lot of people seem to think this is all about Trump. It isn't. This is much bigger than one man. He just happens to have been our spokesman for the past five years, saying from the bully pulpit what many, if not most, of us have been thinking for years. This won't go away. There will be no 'back to normal'.; 1/6/21, 4:07 PM
I'm Not Sure said...: "There will be no 'back to normal'."

The left is already on board with not going back to normal. They'll probably be getting all pissy when it turns out the "not back to normal" they thought they were going to is really someplace else.; 1/6/21, 4:16 PM
Readering said...: Big Mike, decent health insurance includes mental health. That is a route to take.; 1/6/21, 4:20 PM
Readering said...: Anyone know where things stand on Powell's emergency stay application to Justice Alito?; 1/6/21, 4:22 PM
Qwinn said...: mockturtle: The ONLY ones who think this is even just mostly about Trump are those complicit in the crime. Everyone who is outraged by the crime knows that he's no more a victim than every one of us that they disenfranchised.

Why try to correct them as if they're sincerely mistaken or arguing in good faith? They're just fucking gaslighting liars. Time we start treating them as nothing else. As the pariahs they have demonstrated themselves to be.; 1/6/21, 4:25 PM
Big Mike said...: @Readering, think of it as Deplorables finally doing something deplorable.; 1/6/21, 4:33 PM
EsoxLucius said...: I keep hearing that this hasn't happened since the War of 1812. Am I the only the who knows about Smedley Butler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler, the most decorated Marine ever, and the Bonus Army of 1930? President Hoover, Doug MacArthur, and Dwight Eisenhower advanced with bayonets and killed thousands of war heroes protesting for their bonus.; 1/6/21, 4:39 PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...: Oh, for fuck's sake! Now Anderson Cooper's on the phone with Muriel Bowser saying that there's no way BLM would have been able to get away with something like this!; 1/6/21, 4:48 PM
Leland said...: Frito Lay stock... now that's an idea. People got to eat when the new Covid and anti-deplorable lockdowns kick in two weeks from now.; 1/6/21, 5:11 PM
Jim at said...: Trump has been and continues to play with fire.

You've been playing with fire for the last four years, boy, and now you're getting worried you might get burnt?

Too late.; 1/6/21, 5:14 PM
BUMBLE BEE said...: Who Is on who's side. Inga sees ALL! comprehends little.; 1/6/21, 5:22 PM
mockturtle said...: Mark, M.G. seemed to have a personal grudge against our hostess.; 1/6/21, 6:18 PM
mockturtle said...: Plus, in 1954, some Puerto Rican nationalists shot thirty rounds from semi-automatic pistols in the House chamber. They were demonstrating a desire for independence which, IMO, should be granted to them yesterday.; 1/6/21, 6:36 PM
Kai Akker said...: I can't get worked up over this. Conservative columnists and bloggers saying this is riot and must be put down; we are lawful; etc. No. That is true under normal circumstances. But we have been in a civil war since at least Bernie-bro Hodgkinson tried to kill all the Republican Congressional baseball team. Since Antifa. Since BLM. Since Trayvon's assault, and all the others. Come on. It's war, war has casualties. Sure, they have to clear the Capitol. But I am glad (minus one death) that the people who have done nothing but take s-h-y-t from the Democrats, who have watched the Constitution get attacked, who have put up with a massively fraudulent Presidential election -- I am GLAD to see them striking back in action.

This is message number 232 or higher, so I hope there are at least 100 or more that also endorse this resistance. We must resist.; 1/6/21, 6:41 PM
Leland said...: So did they certify the election? I was told no delay could be tolerated. 10 days seems like such a small ask when compared to a woman’s life. Wisconsin handled protesters in the Capitol much better.; 1/6/21, 6:42 PM
n.n said...: You've been playing with fire for the last four years, boy, and now you're getting worried you might get burnt?

16 trimesters is just the hoof print of progress with double-edged scalpels.; 1/6/21, 6:42 PM
M said...: So animal skin guy has been outed as a regular at ANTIFA protests. Whether some of these people actually have a political agenda or just enjoy chaos is an interesting question..,; 1/6/21, 6:53 PM
daskol said...: Animal skin guy is full QAnon, M. He may have been at other protests, and there may well have been some false flag type goons today who did bad things, but this is a dry hole. There are interviews with him from these prior protests, and he's no false flag/provocateur, he's what he looks like.; 1/6/21, 6:55 PM
daskol said...: Oh no, Chuck says if Trump supporters don't behave, Trump haters will lob more harsh words their way. They might even fart in your general direction, I bet.; 1/6/21, 6:56 PM
jim said...: now you're getting worried you might get burnt?

Nope, it's Trump who's going to burn.; 1/6/21, 6:59 PM
Qwinn said...: Chuck, every word you have ever said after "If Trump loses, fraudulent or not, it's a win for me" is utterly boring and meaningless. You've already admitted that you're happy to be complicit in the crime. We might bother to spend some effort to see to it that, when the rest of the criminals go down, you go with them, but you're such a pathetic little twat that I doubt anyone will make the effort.

And we already know you're happy to see the state weaponized against your political opponents. Duh. That's the only governing principle leftists like you have.; 1/6/21, 7:14 PM
Readering said...: So if they are taking states alphabetically, is there any state for objection after Pennsylvania?; 1/7/21, 12:00 AM
Readering said...: Wisconsin?; 1/7/21, 12:06 AM
Readering said...: I see Trump picked up one more vote in the Senate on Pennsylvania. Scott of FL?; 1/7/21, 12:07 AM
Readering said...: So Senate done for night and no Senator will further object to another state. House still going on PA. Then done. Giuliani's plea to Senators to keep objections going tomorrow (per voicemail to Tuberville) has failed.; 1/7/21, 1:12 AM
Readering said...: So now watching Pence in the House chamber going through the W states, with Biden/Harris way past 270 votes. House member objects, but no Senator. So not entertained. Done by "bedtime".; 1/7/21, 2:38 AM
Readering said...: That objection was to Wisconsin.; 1/7/21, 2:38 AM
Readering said...: And Pence, presiding, just announced that Biden and Harris beat Trump and Pence.; 1/7/21, 2:43 AM
Readering said...: Now folks at WH and elsewhere free to quit.; 1/7/21, 3:34 AM
