The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 20: Goal of Gaol: (Duncan) Hunter Biden's Laptop and Let's Go Brandon Straka

"The American people are fed up with this over-dramatization of a riot that happened here at the Capitol one time. "They are sick and tired of Jan. 6 — it’s over, OK?" - Major Traitor Greene, who video evidence seems to suggest is the hoodie wearing figure who dropped pipe bombs off at strategic locations in the late evening of January 5th before Greene and conservatives tried to overthrow the government.

White criminals are good people
caught up in events.
"And as you probably have heard one of the first January 6th trials ended in an extortion... and then there was a horrible thing that they were doing to people," Diaper Don the Traitor Trump intoned at his latest "Rally" where he once again blamed Speaker Pelosi and the Mayor of D.C. for the conservative insurrection on 01/06/21.  Trump was referring to Matthew Martin, who was acquitted on charges last week, because as a fat middle aged white man, Judges (especially Trump-appointed ones) find every possible reason to excuse unlawful behavior. 

The focus and intensity of the Hunter Biden Laptop is indicative of the last 30 years of media coverage; a Democratic Presidency must be ruthlessly attacked by the Corporate Media, who uncritically repeat all rightwing agitprop, to show an air of impartiality, culminating in the Media giving outsized attention to each and every ginned-up (or Ginni Thomas' up-ed) rightwing conspiracy, while studiously ignoring say an actual criminal conspiracy of Ginni Thomas.

Much thought has been directed at why the white working class abandoned the Democratic Party and besides the undeniable racist angle of the backlash to Civil Rights the truth is since the 1970's a significant slice of the American working class has seen a diminishment in their lived experienced and lifestyles.  This is a topic for a far longer post but, in response to this starting with Nixon, the Republican Party began blaming everything on the Democratic Party; from crime to deindustrialization. 

Thus, Enter Hunter Biden's laptop...  Not Duncan Hunter* because being a convicted Republican criminal doesn't make Duncan, the Hunter Republicans and the media are looking for...  Hunter Biden's Laptop represents the Holy Grail or True Cross for the rightwing media to quest after.  It is a holy relic and a repository of Absolute Truth.  Don't worry about Chain of Custody because if you don't believe this current Laptop contains all the evidence needed to prove every whack-a-doodle rightwing conspiracy true, up to and including the January 6th Riot and the 2020 Elections, why they've got at least two more to sell!

In reality, as Twitter noted, 

Never forget Trump's first impeachment was due to his extortion** attempt on Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, (the same Zelenskyy Madison Crawthorn calls a thug) as Trump tried to coerce into claiming their was a foreign investigation into Hunter Biden.

Which leads us to actual criminals who actually committed actual crimes, we have Let's Go Brandon Straka, who's fame comes from starting a social media movement call Walk Away from the Democratic Party, which was right-wingers and lifelong Republicans claiming on Facebook and Twitter they were Democrats who were upset by something or other and now were ardent Republicans. (Here's a typical . His infamy comes from being one of the criminal conservative terrorists to storm the Capitol on January 6th.

But, he wasn't just some low-level caught-up-in-the-moment drone instead Straka was live tweeting the Insurrection and urging conservatives on.  It is without doubt that had the Insurrectionists held the Capitol all throughout the night Straka and others would have succeeded in destroying the electoral process and probably in murdering Democratic Representatives.

But, Straka like all right-wingers has lived so long with the unequal enforcement of laws, the not see style of policing of conservatives, and the lax judgments brought against those charged with crimes that he never thought he would be in trouble for those crimes he committed. Straka was arrested, held in custody, tried and accepted a guilty plea. Straka, most likely informed on other defendants in order to receive a lighter sentence. To prove he didn't Straka has taken to the rightwing media to prove his unwavering commitment to the cause of Overthrowing the US Government and installing an Authoritarian Trumpist Dictatorship.

But, Straka has also taken time to bemoan and wail at the inhumanity of prison,

“During those two days, I sat in that cell literally just breaking down emotionally because I thought myself, this is now Jan. 25, 2021, so Joe Biden became president five days before I got arrested, the Democrats have now taken full control of the federal government, I’m Brandon Straka the Walk Away from the Democrats founder, and now I’m sitting in a concrete cell,” he continued, becoming increasingly emotional. “There are hundreds of people who are facing nonviolent low-level misdemeanor charges who are being treated like terrorists, like insurrectionists in this country. I actually fall into this category—the government has actually put me on a terrorism watch list.” 

Boo-hoo-hoo! All Let's Go Brandon Straka did was commit multiple crimes whilst in the middle of successfully stopping the certification of Joe Biden's crushing 2020 election victory. Because let's get this straight; the conservatives who invaded the Capitol, sought out Democratic Representatives and Mike Pence to murder, and literally shit on the floors and walls did stop the Government from certifying the Election results for several hours.  During that time Donald Traitor Trump aided by Ginni Thomas, Mark Meadows and numerous other Republicans spent 7 hours and 37 minutes stopping National Guard and other Law Enforcement units from responding to the Capitol as they attempted to coordinate further disruption and attempted to get the Trumputsch (the Coup d'Etat) back on track.  

*- Despicable Traitor Trump pardoned Ex-Marine and convicted criminal Duncan Hunter. I dgaf about this bullshit pardon Duncan Hunter is an Ex-Marine forever. He needs to surrender his Quatrefoil and EGA. As way of comparison Hunter was convicted of the exact same offense as Jesse Jackson Jr. Jackson received a 30 month sentence, prosecutors asked for 48 months. Duncan Hunter received an 11 month sentence and served 2 fucking days.

** - This doesn't even get into the recovered seditious communications of Traitor Tot Jr, the $2,000,000,000 Saudi Arabia just handed Jared Kushner, or the millions in Chinese kickbacks raked in by Ivanka Trump during her residency in the White House.  Donald John Trump taught Republicans that the way to get away with crimes is to keep committing them non-stop because eventually the media will get tired of covering the continued crime spree.

Republicans are Grooming a new crop of Domestic Rightwing Terrorists.

The militias that were cultivated by Republicans in the 1990's prepared the ground for the later more radicalized rightwing domestic terrorists.  This was recognized by the nascent Obama White House which published a definitive analysis in 2009 and prediction of were the threats facing the United States were coming from; rightwing rhetoric, Faux News, conservatives, and Republican Tea Party terrorists.

The right-wingers correctly identified as potentially dangerous flipped out and upped their threats of violence in response.

Of course, conservatives then attempted some direct actions; such as the Bundy Insurrection at the Malheur Bird Sanctuary but, AG Eric Holder and President Obama handled that deftly allowing the assembled wackos to spout and expend their energy fruitlessly and then slowly waited for the group to commit mistakes resulting in their capture.  This strategy was correct even if a rightwing judge threw out the government's case in a miscarriage of justice.

But, the biggest expression of white rightwing violence was demonstrated on 01/06/21 at the Capitol in Washington DC which, except for some lucky breaks and individual acts of bravery, would have resulted in multiple Democratic Congresspersons and Senators being executed and Mike Pence either dying or affirming the false slate of Electors.  Arch-Traitor Trump's 7 hours and 37 minute gap of phone communications indicate there is far more 

And no this is not hyperbole, if you think the Bounty Hunter laws being passed in Texas and the Anti-Trans laws being passed in Florida, and the anti-abortion laws being passed in every Republican control state aren't violence because they've been adopted by State Legislature then you've allowed yourself to be lulled to sleep with the rightwing canard "America is a Nation of Laws";  we aren't.  The United States is a Nation steeped in violence and minority ruling over the majority through unDemocratic means and state violence.  Just remember all these States have also passed Stand Your Ground and Run-Em Down laws designed to indemnify conservatives when they use vigilante violence against protestors.

But, while many Republicans are comfortable and prefer the old ways of passing laws making certain people subjected to the awesome power of state violence (while exempting others from it), the newest batch of Republican psychos is not.  

No for them, they yearn to see Police busting people over the head with batons and imagine armies of Kyle Rittenhouse's executing street justice on all those they categorize as "Others".

And that is what "Grooming", the newest blood libel Republicans are throwing around at every opportunity, is because the newest cohort of Republicans want state sanctioned violence to be used at every opportunity.  This has a two-fold benefit for Republicans; because LGTBQ+ people will either have to face violence from the legal system with little means of recourse or if there is a protest or violent counter-reaction, then Republicans can unleash the full might of Government (as well as Truck driving run'em down enthusiasts) with strict "AntiFa" Laws labelling every Non-MAGA as a terrorist thereby enabling them to round-up millions of Americans.

Because Abraham Lincoln's immortal Cooper Union address remains as potent today as when he gave it in 1860; Conservatives and the GOP are all in for 2022 and 2024 with their agenda of Rule or Ruin;

Your purpose, then, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.

Therefore, it has fallen to Us, We, the People to stand up and face down the rightwing terrorists who are coming for us.  As Lincoln as said,

Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves.

Additional: 

Don't expect charges of hypocrisy to blunt the rightwing Grooming agitprop campaign, as at the same time every Republican slapdick is shouting 'CRT, Antifa, Grooming', Tennessee Republicans have crafted a new Super Special Straight Wedding Law which has no minimum age for marriage.

For 7 hours and 37 minutes...

Trump the Arch-Traitor tried to overthrow the United States government.  After planning to disrupt and invalidate the recognition of President Biden's crushing victory Trump and his cadre of conservative criminals, Trump hid communications for 7 hours and 37 minutes during the Coup Attempt. 
There is one thing, and one thing only, the Democrats need to do; respond to every question with, "For 7 hours and 37 minutes..."

Every hearing should include, "For 7 hours and 37 minutes..."

Every disingenuous utterance of CRT, Transphobia, Jessie Smollett, Afghanistan withdrawl, gas prices, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson should be answered with, "Well for 7 hours and 37 minutes..."

Arch-Traitor Trump, multiple elected Republicans, high-level conservatives, and a gaggle of rightwing criminals hatched, planned, coordinated, and executed a Coup to end the United States of America.  Republicans tried to destroy the government and end the American dream and Nation as a concept.

Because the Media isn't going to do it.  They aren't going to suddenly abandon the Narrative.  Because that would require evaluating the Eternal BothSides spin they needs must adopt.

Trump spent 7 hours and 37 minutes in communication with various known and unknown nefarious actors, while the Capitol was besieged, trying to ensure his Putsch would succeed. 

But, as the Coup of January 6th recedes and the precious Narrative analyzing the 2022 midterms, the facts of the Janurary 6th Sedition simply become part of the Democrats and Republicans disagree about what happened that day and conservatives are allowed and encouraged to disavow the day claim it was the actions of Antifa while agreeing with what almost happened and planning their next violent Insurrection.
