Republicans are Lying Weirdos: Twitter smear merchant Black Insurrectionist is infamous Trump troll Ali Alexander? Seems to be a white dude named Jason G. Palmer

Republicans love Lies and Hate America.

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Black Insurrectionist,” the anonymous social media persona behind some of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories about the 2024 election, can be traced to a man from upstate New York. He’s also white.

The reach that the Black Insurrectionist account attained with assistance from Trump and his allies demonstrates the ease with which unverified information from dubious sources can metastasize online to shape public opinion. The speed and scale of disinformation has been an animating force in the presidential campaign, with the potential to affect the outcome in a close election.

The Black Insurrectionist account is linked directly to Jason G. Palmer, who has his own questionable backstory, starting with the fact that he isn’t Black, according to an Associated Press review of public records, open source data and interviews with a half-dozen people who interacted closely with Palmer over the past two decades.

Still Fighting the Bad Fight for The Fash

The slimy rightwing liar "Black Insurrectionist" (@DocNetyoutube) is apparently no longer on Twitter, much to the consternation and disappointment to the MAGA Fash who've taken over Twitter to spread non-stop lies.  Black Insurrectionist was one of the daily stops MAGA went to, to get their daily dose of lies, activate their R-complex, invoke their Fear&Anger response, and spend the day in a constant state of agitation.  

I wrote about the utterly evil and ugliest Republican October Surprise being the unconscionable but, predictable false smears of Tim Walz.  Much of the lies and smears of Harris and Walz were spearheaded by Black Insurrectionist on X(Twitter) himself.  While probably not a Russian himself, this writer, Matt Osborne, contends it was infamous Trump troll Ali Alexander, everything it spread has ties to a quick campaign crafted by known Russian disinformation trolls.  As for Ali himself, along with Charlie Kirk, he is remembered chiefly for sending buses full of MAGA criminals to Washington DC and coordinating with other rightwing criminals to try and halt the transfer of power and overthrow the  United States Government.

When Tim Walz correctly labelled Republicans as "weird" it really, really struck a nerve.  For years, Republicans have been living in a bubble of self-delusion and demanded their creepy weirdo ideas were actually mainstream and not wildly out of step with American society, deeply offensive, highly unusual, and off-putting.  Weird.

Senile traitor Trump was particularly perturbed by being called weird.  And used his senile weave technique to declare, 'No Weird! No Weird! You're the Weird!'

So, multiple MAGA propagandists used the #QAnon lies and child grooming/pedophile campaign against Tim Walz.  In early October, former Florida Cop and now Russian disinformation specialist John Mark Dougan, began the hit job against Tim Walz; 

The initial claim emerged on Oct. 5 during a Rumble livestream, where an anonymous man said Walz abused him when he was a Future Leaders Exchange, or FLEX, Program student in Minnesota from 2004 to 2005. The man, whose voice appears altered, was interviewed by John Mark Dougan, a former Florida sheriff’s deputy living in Russia with alleged ties to disinformation campaigns.

Both the U.S. State Department and FLEX told CBS News they have no record “of any FLEX student from Kazakhstan in Mankato area schools from 2000 through 2020.” Mel Helling, the communications director for Mankato Area Public Schools, told CBS News they have no record of the allegations. NewsGuard first reported the claim. 

When contacted by CBS News, Dougan claimed he has the alleged victim’s U.S. visa and the FLEX Program certificate. CBS News reviewed the documents and found several inconsistencies: The date of birth on the visa does not match the age the alleged victim stated in the livestream and the certificate has an incorrect logo on it. 

The claims were picked up by other accounts that are not linked to Russian disinformation. On Oct. 12, an X account credited as Matt Wallace posted a Rumble video where he claimed without evidence that Walz may have acted inappropriately with the students during trips to China. The video was later removed and the user did not respond to a request for comment.  

A third claim surfaced on Oct. 13 when an X account dubbed “Black Insurrectionist” posted grainy screenshots of supposed emails alleging Walz’s misconduct with a minor at a concert in 1995.  

The supposed emails appeared manipulated. Among the clues was a comma in the date-time stamp that is not typically found in emails. “Black Insurrectionist” later deleted their account. Researchers have not linked this account to Russian disinformation.  

On Oct. 16, another claim circulated when a man purporting to be Matthew Metro, a former Mankato West High School student, posted a video alleging Walz sexually assaulted him in 1997. 

However, The Washington Post and AFP reported that a man named Matthew Metro did attend the school but the person in the video is not him. The Post interviewed Metro, who said he never met Walz. 

Hany Farid, a professor at University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in manipulated media, said he believes the video was not created using AI; rather, he believes it is a “cheap fake,” in which a man is impersonating someone else. 

Truth is Irrelevant;
Joey Mannarino pretended to be a black woman

Earlier this year, Dougan fronted the Russian created smear about a Kamala Harris hit-and-run, and has routinely spread anti-Ukraine Russian propaganda which is picked up and uncritically regurgitated by conservatives in the States.

Conservatives have for decades been openly broadcasting their abject hatred of America and the ways in which anyone paying attention could influence and control them and one of the intelligence victories by the FSB, GRU, and Russian Government has been to collect this open-source intel and repeat Republicans hatred for America back to them.

One of the most depressing things about this whole smear is how ready, how eager, and how easily Republicans will swallow such propaganda.  Truth is Irrelevant.  Because what MAGA wants to be true is true. 

MAGA loves lies
And being lied to

I pointed out how eager MAGA is to be lied to by Trump, look at how they loved being lied to about he "took a shift serving fries" at a McDonald's.  MAGA yearns to be lied to about everything.  Lies and conspiracies confirm what they've always believed, what they've been told by 50 years of Elon Musk, of Faux News, of Racist Limbaugh, of every Republican.

And so what all those years of brainwashing have lead to is the complete capture of the Republican Party and all their minds by a creepy, weird, racist, rapist grifter with the slimy charisma of a cheap Mobster from Manhattan.

January 6th Hostages Mark and Jalise Middleton and the Coming Republican attack on America

 Facts don't care about your feelings is an oft-quoted shibboleth by rightwingers.  But, what they really mean is their subjective take on society is logical reality and anything you counter their argument with is emotion based and dismissible.

We posted our crimes on Facebook
"Ass whooping' coming" - Jalise 01/05/21

In fact, their feelings are all that matter to MAGA Republicans; Facts are irrelevant and often detrimental to them, therefore Facts (and Truth and Reality) are jettisoned for their preferred narrative. 

This is nowhere more evident with January 6th.  As the saying goes Fuck Around Find Out (FAFO).  I happened upon the so-called MAGA Derek Zoolander, a disreputable chap named John Strand.  Strand is a January 6th criminal who was arrested, charged, and incarcerated for his part in the violent Trump-led successful attempt to halt the peaceful  transfer of power and thus far unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Government of the United States.

Since his actions on that day, he's fully embraced the Jan6th persecuted political prisoners victimized by the Biden Department of Justice, Kamala Harris Department of Justice.  He calls himself a J6 hostage, repeats the lies about the event itself being peaceful & patriotic, and claims he did nothing wrong.  Of course, when Strand was flush with the excitement of that day, entering the Capitol to trash the place and stop the certification, exuberant, arms raised in triumph he stated, "We stormed the Capitol, it's Insane." and declared himself "amongst the first dozen patriots" who "literally made history just now".

Here's the story of the Underwear Hurricane!
The man authorities came to blame!
For something he had done!

But, as the official spokesmodel of the criminals, besides grifting for money, he's also taken to bemoaning that he and his fellow criminals are facing justice while pushing ridiculous lies about other Jan6th Insurrectionists.  So, Strand pushed the bogus claim about the convicted criminal Texas couple Mark and Jalise Middleton, who were convicted in Federal Court and sentenced and are now going to serve their sentence.

This is from release from the United States Attorney's Office, District of Columbia, 

According to trial evidence and police body-worn camera footage, as the officers struggled with the group of rioters, a male individual, later identified as Mark Middleton, pushed against the barricades and the police line with his body. Officers are heard on body-worn camera footage repeatedly ordering Mark Middleton and others to “Get back!” In response, Mark Middleton is heard yelling “f— you!” as he continued to push against the police barricades. Evidence showed that Mark Middleton resisted MPD officers, grabbed onto an MPD officer’s left hand or wrist, and pulled the officer forward towards the crowd.

            At the same time, a female individual, later identified as Jalise Middleton, is seen on body-worn camera footage repeatedly grabbing and striking the same officer over the barricade with her hand. Another officer then approached to assist, and Jalise Middleton struck that officer as well. Video footage shows that the couple continued to grapple with and strike at the officers, and attempt to pull an officer into the crowd, as various flags were jabbed toward the officers’ faces.

            MPD officers later deployed a chemical spray, forcing the Middletons to retreat from the barricaded line. Both defendants later posted social media messages touting their key role in helping to breach the barricades by fighting officers and that they had only stopped due to pepper spray.

But, Strand posted this beautiful peaceful couple were in prayer and attacked from behind by the Police and are victims of Kamala Harris weaponization of the Department of Justice and thousands of replies on Elon Musk's Nazi Twitter pile on this miscarriage of justice and hope for the day when they can slaughter as many Democrats as possible.  Are the replies bots?  I don't know.  What matters is the lies Republicans tell themselves and their followers and the Fear & Anger rightwingers manifest in themselves as they believe and incestuously amplify their lies to each other.

This, by the way, explains the entire allure of senile traitor Trump.  MAGA zealots see him stride through American society like a colossus, flouting all conventions, actively ignoring Laws, getting away with massive scams and schemes which would land any of them into jail, all the while the Corporate Media kowtows and fawns over his every word, deed, and action.  Trump takes what he wants, does what he wants, shits on those who displease him, encourages hatred and death upon those who oppose him.  This is what they want to be and by latching onto him they gain some small portion of that invulnerability. 

So, as the Trump train reaches its' final stop this November 5th there are going to be a lot of desperate, financially and legally strapped people, with few options, and less hope.  Those are the sort of people who can be induced to act out.  They did so on January 6th, 2021 and when Trump calls on them to do it again...  well I don't know what's going to happen and while I doubt there will be any large-scale violence,  Republicans are going to do something.  Be prepared and don't be caught unawares.  If you can be brave do so but, protect yourself and your loved ones and be ready to defend America from another Republican led attack on Freedom and Democracy.

Trump, Vance, and the Republicans fascist ugliness and vile non-stop lies on full display in Wisconsin, Florida, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina

FEAR & ANGER

Fear & Anger...

Fear & Anger...

Fear & Anger...

All day every minute of every day all through out his senile incoherent rallies and broadcast directly via Elon Muck's Nazi Twitter and Faux News.

This is it.  We've passed the Event Horizon.  We've Crossed the Rubicon.  We've reached the tipping point.  Whatever euphemism you want to employ understand Trump and his willing co-conspirators are priming their brain-washed rightwing drones for violence.

Non-stop lies about Haitian Immigrants, non-stop lies about FEMA, non-stop lies about voting fraud, non-stop lies about Obamacare, non-stop lies about abortion, non-stop lies about the economy, non-stop lies, non-stop lies, non-stop lies...

Fact check: Six days of Trump lies about the Hurricane Helene response

—  Former President Donald Trump has delivered a barrage of lies and distortions about the federal response to Hurricane Helene.

While various misinformation about the response has spread widely without Trump’s involvement, the Republican presidential nominee has been one of the country’s leading deceivers on the subject. Over a span of six days, in public comments and social media posts, Trump has used his powerful megaphone to endorse or invent false or unsubstantiated claims.

The chief targets of his hurricane-related dishonesty have been Vice President Kamala Harris, his opponent in the November presidential election, and President Joe Biden. 

It's not just Trump.  It's the entire Republican Party.

But, as Florida faces a now Category 5 Hurricane in Milton, Ron DeSantis continues to play dumb and petulant political games so Republican liars can continue to falsely claim President Biden (and therefore Vice President Harris) is not giving the aid to Republican States.  "We had this planned,"  DeSantis said of his effort to snub the President and Vice President in order to convince his base of Republicans that Biden had given all their money to Migrants and FEMA wasn't helping them.  “We’ve got to stop politicizing the weather and stop politicizing natural disasters,” DeSantis said last year.  Just don't say Climate Change or Little Goblin DeSantis will have you arrested by his Governor's Speech Police...

Deliberate Internal Subversion  
of a Government demonstrates 
MAGA are Domestic Terrorists

And the Republicans living in those States?  Well Trump, Vance, elected Republicans in Congress, and even rightwingers in other States DON'T GIVE A SHIT about them.

Deliberate misinformation, a callous disregard for peoples' lives, and incessant demonization of the Other are the hallmarks of the Fascist Republican Party.

Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania Republicans have been sending via the USPS letters telling people they have been selected to house and feed migrants under a Biden/Harris Plan.

"Congratulations," the fake letter stated, "you have been selected as a Wayward Steward exchange home for homeless immigrants and victims of foreign wars."  The letter was sent to Elizabeth Bennett from the"Pennsylvania Congressional Office of Immigration Affairs," which does not exist. Bennett was supposedly selected based on “property and income records” for a migrant housing program as part of  “US5Ca12-B,” a law implemented by the Biden administration, the letter asserted. No such law exists.

There's more deliberate lies and bullshit sent via Elon Muck's Nazi Twitter from Matt Gaetz, from Marco Rubio, from Squeaker of the House Mike Johnson.  It's a non-stop barrage with a specific goal.

Don't expect the Corporate Media to accurately call out the Republican non-stop lies for what they are; a deliberate campaign to destroy the Nation.  The Corporate Media's job is to massage and temper the Republican propaganda making their perfidy palatable to the Normie public.  

There is no point in trying to refute these lies about only getting $750, and the rest was stolen by Biden for illegal immigrants, and FEMA isn't helping or no where to be seen in rural North Carolina, or any of the millions of lies being spread throughout the Republican/Rightwing media universe in a reasoned manner.  These people are part of or lost to the Republican Agitprop Machine, they have no intention of being reasoned with or being convinced, they exist solely to be angry or afraid;  and those qualities can quickly be turned towards Violence.  The threat of Violence is what Republicans have been using to maintain their political cohesion.

We have to defeat these vile monsters and render the Republican Party politically inviolable.  I don't think we can, I think Republicans have such an unshakable hold and built-in political floor merely by flying that Scarlet R behind their names that they can run with outrageous lies and fact-free untruths and know, know with an absolute certainty that it will not be held against them and rightwingers will support their lies because they are lying.  The Nation can not remain half MAGA and half Free.  We, the People are being called upon again to defeat the Vile Monsters of Fascism coming from the entire Republican Party; a threat to the Nation, to our way of life, and to millions of people.

Additional:

Trump and Vance's Project 2025 guts FEMA by the way and just this September in the Congressional appropriations bill, Republicans voted overwhelmingly to NOT fund FEMA secure in the knowledge that not only would they not receive any blowback from their voters but that those Republicans would voicefously defend them and spread rightwing lies  

Besides desecrating graves at Arlington National Cemetery, senile traitor Trump promises his America will be bloody

These are the 4 worst Presidents in History
Each worse than the last...

Senile Traitor DonOld Trump doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, "You can do everything. The President has such power. It does. Such power." Day 1 Dictator Trump 08/30/24.

In a Wisconsin rally, Trump declared parts of Colorado are controlled by  immigrants based on some lies form the Republican Major of Aurora Mike Coffman and rightwingers online claimed the city had been taken over by Venezuelan Gangs.

(It's completely unsurprising in this era of rightwing online propaganda that Republicans were claiming the Hell's Angels were coming to Aurora, Colorado to fight the Venezuelan Gangs controlling the City and that Republicans would care more about their fantasy of Migrant Gang Invasions than the real threat out there of White Male Rightwing Gunmen going into a movie theater shooting dozens of people).

Donald Trump is visibly confused.  Donald Trump is physically in shambles and barely presentable in public.  Donald Trump can't complete a sentence.  Donald Trump can't process a question posed to him and respond in a coherent fashion.  Donald Trump can't speak without descending into the same tired lies, insults, slanders, and fascist  he's recited hundreds of times before.  Donald Trump is not mentally fit for duty.  

But...

Donald Trump does know how to emotionally work his rabid supporters; with Fear & Anger and his 70,000,000 followers are beginning to realize he can say anything he wants so, they are doing the same.  Seriously, #KamalaHQ posts verbatim quotes fromTrump and his criminal co-conspirators and his on-line Russian paid army of Twitter Nazis tell America don't believe what we actually said believe what we tell you we said.

In his speech Total weirdo Trump claimed, "They will have a hundred million of these people in here with another 4 years. A hundred million.  If you think you have a nice house a migrant will enjoy your house.  Because a migrant will take it over.  It will be Venezuela on Steroids." FEAR!

Trump then continued his lie about children being Transgendered at school, "Kamala supports states being able to take minor children and perform sex change operation, take them away from their parents, perform sex-change operation and send them back home.  Can you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school and your son comes back with a brutal operation." ANGER!

And then capped off what he and the Republicans plan to do,  "The gangs are taking over sections of the state.  And, you know, getting them out will be a bloody story."

Trump will give his bloody MAGA cult the violence they yearn for.  And he's telling them he will pardon those convicted of crimes against the American people because he's going to give a blanket pardon to January 6 convicted criminals.

And this was just on recent speech.  In the past few months, the incoherent statements, the number of insane falsehoods, the number of unhinged fascist declarations, the rabid calls for violence, and the number of easily disprovable lies by Trump would fill columns in Newspapers...  if the Corporate Media cared to cover it.

But...  they don't.

The Corporate Media wants him to be President again.  So, they will continue in their policy of "sane-washing" his comments and re-organizing his actual statements so it doesn't look like unintelligible gibberish.

And...

The Corporate Media wanted Joe Biden gone and the Democrats in Disarray so they could help propel their Dear Leader DonOld Trump back into the White House.

What they got in July instead was a masterful political maneuver by President Biden, which energized the Democratic base and enlivened the casual Democratic voter and positioned Kamala Harris to be the next President.

This was not how this was supposed to go when the Corporate Media wrote for months about President Biden's age, which is why since that fateful day in July, the Corporate Media hasn't mentioned that DonOld Traitor Trump is a senile, incoherent criminal making up absolute garbage lies, engaging in non-stop racist and sexist attacks on soon-to-be President Harris, and demonstrating that besides all the criminal activity, he is not only morally unfit and ethically unsound for the Office of President he is in need of committal to a mental health institute.

Understand, nothing anyone writes on Twitter (X), Social Media or Substack or in these ancient unread blog posts is going to change the way the Corporate Media "sane-washes" Trump but, that doesn't make it a useless endeavor.  We've got to fight for the country we won't because the one Trump and the Republicans want is a fascist hellhole of oppression and mass murder.

But, the more insane shit Trump spouts the more his supporters cling to him, the more rabid they become in the thought he will be taken from them, and as they get more frightened of not having their Cultish Leader the more they convince themselves that Violence is the way to go.

I could post further actual quotes, the rambling incoherence, and spit flecked diatribes the Corporate Media won't but, the people who actually need to read and her what Trump is saying don't come here.

"Well, I would do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka were very impactful… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because the child care is childcare, you know, that's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it... I want to stay with childcare… So we'll take care of it. Thank you" - Trump in Sept 2024, when people are listening...

I knew this was going to get Ugly, but while I expected the Corporate Media to BOTHSIDES BOTHSIDES BOTHSIDES this into a 50/50 horserace match, I did not expect them to overtly, blatantly, and openly come out in favor of Trump and decide to throw in with him fully.

Harris and Walz can win and if the recent new voter registration figures can over come the Republican voter suppression and ballot rigging efforts, then the dirty tricks Republicans in Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin and elsewhere won't matter.  Because Harris will win not only by landslide popular vote numbers but with a solid near blowout Electoral College Vote.  Right now we have to win, we can talk about reconciliation and deprogramming the MAGA cultists later.

Update:

I think I know what the Corporate Media play will be;  they are waiting for the September 10th Debate.  If Trump can come off barely cogent and slightly coherent and sticks to his Forceful presentation of lies and slanders they will declare their Dear Beloved Leader Fit for Duty and ready to be President once again.  But, if senile traitor Trump happens to mess up and actually scream N-Word at Vice President Kamala Harris, they might... might mind you... claim maybe he isn't fit for duty.  

But, I don't think so.  I think no matter what Trump says or does ons take they will BothSides the debate claim both candidates told untruths, both candidates proposed differed with their Housing Policy, with their commitment to Education, with their visions for America and declare the Race a Toss-Up!  Woo-Hoo!  More Horerace coverage!  Woo-Hoo more coverage of Trump's wild showmanship!  Woo-Hoo more chances to question whether or not Kamala Harris really worked at McDonald's.  

At the Chicago DNC, Tim Walz just kept on Rockin' the United Center just like Neil Young or Michael Jordan did

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.

Who lies about this?  Why you do Vance. You do.
Just Dishonorable Vance is a liar and discredit
to the Untied States Marine Corps and should
receive a retroactive BIG CHICKEN DINNER

Vice President Tim Walz just delivered a joyous acceptance speech at the DNC.  As America gets to know Tim Walz his authenticity comes through immediately.  At the conclusion of his speech, the United Center was closed with Keep on Rockin' in the Free World, Neil Young gave his special explicit permission to use the song.  Juxtapose this, with the Republicans who repeatedly take without permission other peoples' intellectual property rights and then sometimes produce a grotesque version unfit for human consumption.

Then juxtapose, Coach Walz taking on extra coaching duties in order to pay the lunch debt of students with the numerous Republican Governors who explicitly and deliberately turned down school-lunch programs for impoverished children in the States they control with a tyrannical glee.

Juxtapose Coach Walz talking abut Social Security survivor benefits with the giddy Republicans hoping, wishing, yearning to steal your Social Security. 

Republicans hate America.  Republicans hate you.  Republicans have nothing to offer the American people. 

Republicans especially hate Coach Walz because he represents a type of masculinity which is alien to them; caring, nurturing, dignified.  Walz's primetime speech was filled with the clear eyed decency which so differentiates the two parties in the 21st Century.

Multiple Republicans attacked
Gus Walz because Republicans
are shitty people

While Tim Walz family clearly loves him, having a teenage son willing to cry joyful tears on a televised event, Trump hates his kids, even ones he acknowledges, hates women, especially those who are venal enough to marry him, and they clearly hate him.  While Just Despicable Vance hates himself and really hates his not white kids.  And good god if you really want to delve into the deep endless morass of Republican hatred and lies take a gander at the despicable Megyn Kelly's horrendous twitter feed (or any other rightwing propagandist for that matter).

Fear, Hatred and Anger are all the Republicans have and the entirety of their political policies and their very souls.  Republicans offer nothing to the American people because they are nothing; empty vessels filed up with the bile and rancor of MAGA lies.  Tim Walz just laid out broadly that the Democratic Party and the Harris/Walz ticket have a great deal to offer America and We, the People.  

Reclaiming the word Freedom sums up much of this; to Republicans Freedom means you are free to do as they say, and for women Republican Freedom means the freedom to be a shackled into loveless marriages and chained into sexual servitude.  Republicans have warped, distorted, and perverted the meaning of words like Freedom, Liberty, and Patriotism.  Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the Democratic Party are taking these words back home and making them Ours again.

Understand, as Coach Walz stated, we are in the 4th quarter and down a field goal but, we have the ball and we are on the offense and marching towards the end zone.  The Corporate Media will continually try and blunt Democratic momentum and enthusiasm while ignoring blatant penalties and cheap shots by the dirty Republicans but, a good team can overcome ratfvcking from the refs.

Like Father, Like Son

Victory is right there for the taking all we have to do is fight for it; and when we fight, we win.

Migrant Buses and the Government's inability to respond to a crisis Part 5: Caravan of Conservative Terrorists on the way to the Border

There may be a convoy of armed rightwing domestic paramilitary terrorists is heading to the Texas border to bolster Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton's play.  (Never forget Republicans are so fat and financially well-off that the can take off for weeks or months and drive 1000's of miles bringing their arsenals of expensive guns to go Glamping and Cosplaying Cops in the Texas desert.). They call themselves TOBB and 'God's Army' as conservatives continue to make violations of Godwin's Law meaningless, knowing that the FNYT will simply not call them Fascists and will continue to BothSides everything, while making Republican Perfidy just palatable enough for the largely politically unmotivated middle able to punch that (R) on the ballot with a semi-clear conscience.  

"Let me tell you, I'm not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat," Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas told CNN this week. 

Republicans not only have no intention of doing anything constructive in reference to the border and immigration, it looks like they are hoping to spark a shooting confrontation with Federal forces.  And you know these Convoy Cosplay gun-tottin' yahoos are just itchin' to shoot a brown person. 

Republicans saw the Trump loving murderer in El Paso as a model and a Hero.

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people.  They are not interested in anything to help the American people or to effectively govern the United States, nor any desire to interact with the wider world other than to play big swinging dick and tell everyone else well, SUCK. ON. THIS!  It's Rule or Ruin.  That's what's going on and that's what 2024 is all about.

I've said before but, when The Left (writ large) became so disgusted by the criminal and oppressive actions of Republicans and rightwingers we made a "mistake" in allowing them to co-opt the language of Patriotism, Freedom, and Liberty.  Republicans profane the Untied States of America but, they learned from the mistakes of their ideological ancestors in the Confederacy and have worked for decades to infiltrate, subvert, co-opt, and pervert the Nation into an ungovernable conglomeration of little fascist fiefdoms.  It's the same with religion, or more specifically christianity in America.  The abuses by the religious leaders, the dehumanization of people written into dogma, and the massive on-going grift by various denominations have allowed the worst people to claim the mantle of religious leadership.

Will this Texas border stunt turn into Mahleur Bird Sanctuary or a Waco?  Well, Biden was no doubt advising President Obama not to let the Bundy Insurrection (#1 or #2) turn into a large scale Ruby Ridge, which the Bundy Klan and Supporters definitely wanted but, this time we have a Governor and multiple "Law Enforcement" Agencies in Texas defying Supreme Court rulings and ratcheting up the pressure for a shoot-out.  Faux News continues to call this a Civil War, so you know diaper wearing rightwing grandpas watching at home are itching for this to be the Casus Belli, and open insurrection they've yearned for, for so, so long.

Understand quite clearly, Republicans have no desire to fix "The Border" because it has supplanted "Abortion" as the cause célèbre for Republicans to gin up Fear and Anger amongst their rabid base.  Notice how Republicans are fighting to make sure Abortion is nowhere on any ballot in 2024.

Legislative efforts in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights, building on anti-abortion strategies seen in other states, including last year in Ohio.

I will be amazed but, not surprised if Republican Treachery in Texas results in electoral victories for Traitor Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 elections because this bullshit border theater is too early to be an October Surprise.  But, the Republicans have subverted the government at many levels and will continue to do so not only because it helps them get elected but, also because Republicans don't believe in a functioning government. 

So... where are we right now?  Republican Governors are openly pledging their allegiance to this Texas Sedition and sending their National Guardsmen to help.  Republican Congressmen are clearly behind the effort and if something goes sideways I believe Texas Republicans and the various rightwing paramilitary are going to declare some sort of Declaration to overthrow the criminal Biden Crime Family by any means necessary.

Why are Republicans so frightened of Immigration?

FEAR! The Caravan! HATE! Joe Biden!

“We are being conquered,” Stephen Miller said to Fox News’s Jesse Watters. “This is a complete resettlement of America in real time. It took hundreds of years, going back long even before our founding, going back all the way to the earliest days of the colonies in America to slowly build everything that we have.  And now we have millions of people coming in from different cultures and different ways of living and different belief systems. They’re going to take those belief systems with them to America.  So, a generation from now, I am telling you Jesse, people will not know the country that they are living in. These consequences are permanent. Unless there’s massive large-scale deportations by the millions, it will be irrevocable.”

I don't think anyone in modern America has ever so openly declared he wants round-up millions of people.  If you think Republicans are planning a large scale concentration camp system, then you're blissfully unaware of the current ICE detention system and the private prison industrial complex which has been raking in hundreds of millions of dollars a year by incarcerating Americans and people.

The Fear & Anger stimulus that has been drilled into rightwing brain stems by 50 years of ceaseless Republican propaganda is in full swing with the ridiculous Biden Border Crisis.

The biggest question is why are conservatives so scared/angry at immigrants and immigration in general?

Now of course some conservatives are against immigrants because the current wave to the country is comprised of mainly Central and South American people.  But, hating the so-called non-white immigrants is a trend which dates back to the early days of the United States.

Therefore, crime is often cited.  But, while Republicans are absolutely catering to their base of bigots and racists, unless modern Republicans truly believe every one of the 30 million Americans who claims Irish descent is, in fact, a "Fidlam Ben" or everyone of Italian descent worked as an extra on The Sopranos, then the right wing claim that future generations of current Hispanic migrants are going to be dangerous MS13 Rapists who vote Democrat is a ludicrous farce.

The standard response usually is the Democrap Party is inviting migrants here and offering them special free stuff in order to garner future votes.  Besides which the white people proclaim in a huff, my ancestors did it the right way!  And of course we've heard the Great Replacement Theory, which as far as I can tell is the fear by white rightwingers living today that some future generation of "white people" will be treated the way Republicans mistreat out groups today.  In fact, that is precisely the "argument" Stephen Miller laid out on December 20th.

The over-arching answer has to be a combination of blatant racism and Republicans have convinced white people that immigrants are taking away things which should be going to them as citizens.  And would be but, the immigrants got it!  Too Bad!!!  It's a key paradigm of the (Vulture/Late Stage/Crony/Insert modifier here) Capitalist economy of the United States.  There is only one static economic pie and it can only be sub-divided into so many sections.  Thus, any one else slice of the pie can only get bigger when another get's smaller. 

Now, we all know that what Republicans say and what Republicans do are two parallel train tracks which despite non-Euclidean geometry never shall intersect.  Do conservatives actually believe that Republicans would institute a Better than Barack's Obamacare replacement for them if we deport millions of immigrants?  Do conservatives actually believe the "illegals" are getting better treatment and care than them today?  Do conservatives actually believe Republicans would address and help homeless Veterans but for "illegals"?  Do conservatives really believe Republicans would address the opioid epidemic obliterating whites across the Nation but for "illegals"?  Do conservatives actually believe Republicans would safe-guard manufacturing jobs here but for "illegals"?  Do conservatives really believe Republicans will re-create the "White Man's World" of Post WW2 economic hegemony but for the "illegals"?  Do conservatives really believe any of the bullshit Republicans sell them?

Unfortunately, besides the bad faith Republican Party doing everything they can to make American life worse in every way, a large part of this is the timidity of the Democratic Party to tell Republicans to Get Bent with their racist policies while the Corporate Media is paid very well to pretend that Republicans and Democrats generally agree on the framework of the United States and sincerely want to make the Country a place of opportunity, hope, and the American Dream instead of facing the frightening realization that Republicans hate America, seek to oppress, imprison, eliminate many people with the overarching and oft stated goal of replacing the USA with a Theocratic Dictatorship.

Republicans hate America 11 : Wishing and praying and hoping for a Terrorist attack on the Rainbow Bridge POE

Republicans hate you.  With a fervor with a passion normally reserved for jilted lovers.  Republicans hate you so much they will lie about anything and everything.  Republicans are literally insane, mad with the lust for power, and insatiable in the quest to harm America.

Because Republicans fundamentally want to change the country and they can't do that honestly and they can't do that with accurate descriptions of their policies and that can't do that with reporting facts; they can only accomplish their desire to turn the Nation into a simulacrum of Freedom & Liberty by lying.

So it begins...  They began with the false somber tone Republicans always adopt; their worst fears are turning true, confirmation of a vehicle packed with explosives, Iranian passports located outside the vehicle, the border is being invaded by Hamas terrorists, and then morphed those somber "facts" into a sweeping condemnation of the President Biden and the Democratic Party and anyone who would show sympathy for migrants.  Because don't you know the Border is a Disaster! 

Because Republicans win by creating and then exploiting Fear & Anger.  They must keep their ill-informed drones in a state of perpetual terror, afraid of the hordes ready to rob, rape, and murder them but, for the policies of the Republican Party.  But, for draconian rule of Republican Fascism.

The reality of what happened at the Rainbow Bridge POE is immaterial.  That it was another illustration of the toxic car culture of America; a rich Upstate New York man drives his quarter-million dollar Bentley 100+ mph to get over the border into Canada to attend a KISS concert and in so doing also kills his unfortunate wife in the process doesn't matter because thousands of Republicans (including elected Senators and other officials) tweeted out the BORDER TERRORISM BIDEN FAULT story which becomes part of the subjective reality of the rightwing collective unconscious.

One thing is certain though Republicans are correct we are at war... with them...  Republicans are engaged in a low intensity Civil War against Us punctuated by spectacular violence from their AR15 armed domestic terrorists and buttressed my the bureaucratic violence they conduct when republicans gain enough political power.  Fascism is here and it's planning on making the 2024 elections the last ones in American History.

Fox News and the entire Republican Party treat Veterans like Toilet Paper

I became aware of this lie while watching the channel of Brian Tyler Cohen and he sums up the Republican perfidy succinctly.

Who cares if it's not true!
It's what conservatives want to hear!

I don't think I've ever seen a more casually despicable and off-handedly shameless piece of agitprop in a long time.  This isn't just a lie, it was an outright fraud, an outright conspiracy in which Republican agent provocateurs appear to have picked homeless men off the street and instructed them to pretend to be Veterans and then concocted a tale of them being kicked out of hotel to make room for Joe Biden's Illegal Immigrants.

I think I'm not being clear enough.  Republicans in New York pulled a George Santos knowing this MASSIVE FRAUD would be picked up Nationally, rebroadcast and generate a lot of Rightwing Outrage and engagement.

MediaMatters as usual has an extensive summation of the hundreds of lies Republicans and Faux News perpetrated because they know, THEY ABSOLUTELY KNOW, conservatives will believe this story no matter how many times in is debunked.  Homeless Veterans kicked out for Illegal Immigrants stimulates the Fear&Anger response conservatives crave.

Republicans breathlessly rushed to get in their condemnations of this, they dusted off their oratory skills to pretend to be Mark Anthony in Shakespeare's Julius Caeser to denounce this shocking mistreatment of America's Heroes while giving those people, those Non-Citizens, those criminals, those Illegals preferential treatment.  Of course, of fucking course, Faux News ran despicable segment after segment after segment of how America's Heroes, Our Best & Brightest, Those to Whom We Owe so so much, were mistreated by Joe while also lighting up the pleasure centers of the rightwing brain by pumping the Border Crisis lie and Racism against anyone from Mexico, Central America, and South America.

This made up story is the Pure Dope to the rightwing Wurlitzer of lies and propaganda.  This is beyond low.  This is beyond deplorable.  I am beyond incensed.  

We've always known that Republicans treat Veterans and Service members like dog shit and little Risk tokens, flinging us about and using us to advance the mean rightwing agenda of oppression and intolerance.

Republicans don't give a shit about the unhoused community.  Republicans don't give a rat's hind tit about homeless people.  Republicans especially don't fucking care about Homeless Veterans.  Republicans use people and Republicans shit all over the Nation, the Flag, the American people.

ThankYouForYourService

Rightwingers have lived for decades on the lie that they are the Party of Veterans, that they are the Party of Law & Order.  And it's absolute bullshit.  Republicans haven't been the Party of the Military for 40 fucking years.  Most of the enlisted who served during the Phony GWoT, that Republican warmongering adventure, pushed by Faux News and the entire Republican media apparatus are liberal or left in viewpoint.  This was demonstrated conclusively by the 2020 election in which the Military (writ large) voted for Joe Biden conclusively over Traitor Trump.

Coked Out Chickenhawk Coward
speaks for all Veterans  

The undeniable fact that Veterans and Service Members voted for Joe Biden really makes MAGA mad.  This is why MAGA crafted the large overarching narrative of a rigged and stolen election, they still believe (or affect to believe) that they are the large silent majority and represent the American people and values of the United States.  And they don't.  They... Don't... and this dissonance is leading us to were we are currently and were we are going in the next couple of years.

Fascism is here and the violent death throes of recalcitrant rightwing villains will follow.

Addendum: 

As always HRC was far too kind when she called half of Republicans a basket of deplorable, because every Republican is straight trash.  Unredeemable garbage people.  And that a Party of chickenhawk cowards and warmongering draft dodgers feels absolutely free to bandy about Veterans as though We belong to them is just the cherry on top of the galling shit sundae. 

The List of Republican Outrages would fit a book of infinite pages

-BLMFBILGBTRANSTIFA-

"I'll be the Ogre in the room...  “Yes, I can understand kids going hungry, but is that really the problem of the school district? Is that the problem of the state of North Dakota?  “If their kids are choosing to eat in the first place—" North Dakota State Senator Mike Wobbema demonstrates yet again Republicans have nothing to offer the American people and believe government should have two missions only; Quell domestic unrest at home and invade Nations abroad to open up their resources for American cannablism.

The Republican Agenda of destroying the United States America is rapidly picking up speed. 

In the wake of the Nashville school shooting, Republicans have come around to the idea of gun control; specifically outlawing Trans people from owning guns.  The reason Republicans want Trans people restricted from owning guns is because Republicans and Rightwingers want Trans persons to be unarmed victims when the GOP comes to round them up and execute them.  In Republican thinking there is no other reason for taking guns away from people other than to make them easy targets for state-sanctioned violence.

Anti-Trans legislation and violence is just one of the salients in the current Republican War to Destroy the United States of America and remake it into an Unequal Nation based on NeoConfederate Ideology and fundamentalist religious bigotry.  Any radical destruction of a Nation requires the architects to create a scapegoat and the Republicans have chosen Trans persons as the target.  But, after Republicans succeed in eliminating Trans people their focus will shift to the next target, probably Teachers, but what Republicans and Rightwingers have started is rapidly accelerating towards the Naked Singularity of outright open Fascism.

But, the list of ridiculous Republican proposals would be funny if the GOP wasn't steadily degrading the Nation, undermining society, and rushing headlong into Fascism.   Republicans are still trying to: steal Social Security, starve children to death, criminalize Trans people, amongst the many other outrageous actions they push to Destroy the United States of America.

Craig T. Nelson meet your future child bride

Republicans are still planning on crafting legislation to steal Social Security.  It's galling but unsurprising because for 90 years Republicans have loathed the merger Federal Social Safety Net and have passed down to each successive generation of despicable Republicans the goal of crushing the American people and ending the American Dream.

Just 3 weeks ago, Representative Nancy Mace felt entirely at ease going onto CNN to espouse rightwing lies about Social Security and once again as they do everyday, the so-called Liberal Media, rushed to spotlight and amplify Republican Talking Points, "I'm 45, I'm assuming Social Security will be insolvent..." Republicans have been claiming Social Security is going bankrupt since Ronnie Raygun in 1981, when Nancy Mace was 2 years old.

Besides stealing social security, Republicans rejoice in any chance they get to ensure people go without food, without housing, without medical care, without hope...  America, supposably the richest country on Earth is a Pauper Nation.  

"I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry. I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that says they don't have access to enough food to eat." Minnesota Republican Steve Drazkowski, whose vote to ensure school children go hungry was defeated 38-26.  Drazkowski, further pissed on hungry children, snidely remarking, "I had a cereal bar for breakfast.  I guess I'm hungry now."

North Dakota, however, looked at Commie Minnesota and said fuck them kids and voted against free school lunches for low-income children in their state.  Because those kids are needed in the oil fields, fracking that gas, not feeding their bellies.  Starvation is a key weapon wielded by Republicans to keep people docile and submissive.  There is something particularly pernicious about hunger are most often fat-faced, wide-waisted, smooth bodied chumps who have never, ever known a day's hunger.  Have never gone to bed on an empty stomach. And those Rightwingers who make the arguments about "food stamps" are quite often those who have benefited from the social safety net, and liberal government programs. 

Ben S. Shapiro, who doesn't have a real job but spends his days sitting on his ass talking about things he's never experienced and giving his high-pitched opinions on everything he doesn't know anything about was asked presumably by a viewer about expanding school lunch programs, agrees that school children should just go hungry, 

"Well I mean if you are a parent school lunches are not going to solve the problem of child hunger at any serious level if there is a problem of children nationally starving that is a child endangerment scenario in which CPS needs to be called uh if you're talking about actual child starvation the truth is it does not take that much money to feed a child I know I have three of them uh the you should be feeding your child before you feed yourself."

Moochers! Feed your Kids!  And if you can't well that's what then the Awesome Power of the State needs to come in and take custody of those children.

These people are those vicious S.O.B.s who would not give a mean nickel to someone on the street, who yell, 'Get a Job!' at any panhandler/homeless person they see.  Who call the Police to roust a beggar.  They are Republicans.

And while the Right has to varying degrees always been this way, the rancor they have absorbed from Dead Rush Limpballs, Faux News, on-line rightwing propaganda, and social media has turned them rabid.       Republicans have a firm grasp of the Supreme Court, and a slim control of the US House but as they've always done they've turned every advantage into a stranglehold using the bureaucratic legerdemain and the nihilistic power of a Party totally divorced from doing anything helpful for the people they lord over.  Republicans have nothing to offer the American people but Fear & Hatred and they are dolling that out in spades.

Of (Unidentified) Balloons & (Super) Bowls

 After every Super Bowl the losing teams fan base and paid talking heads bemoan an egregious game deciding penalty.

In Super Bowl LVII it was a holding call by Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry on Kansas Cry Chiefs Juju Smith-Schuster.  Unfortunately, some classless Eagles fans claim the holding didn't even happen, while others are claiming while "Technically" a holding it's a ticky-tack call and should not be called in a SuperBowl.  Sadly, for those biased Eagles Fans and the Integrity of the "Game" the penalty did occur, the Ref in question had a sight-line on it, and the referee correctly threw the flag.  Additionally, and this a fact which of course, devestates the entire conspiracy theory and YouTube trolls make, Carl Cheffers the head referee for this game was the referee for the Chiefs-Buccaneers Super Bowl in which Kansas City was flagged 8 times for 95 yards in the 1st half so he's hardly been a make Patrick Mahomes the Greatest by cheating co-conspirator.

The bullshit argument that this is somehow "The Refs deciding the Game" are tantamount to demanding the referee should reward those who break rules because of the spirit of the game demands the players play.  Not calling an obvious penalty which did, in fact occur, would be far worse as it rewards breaking the rules and is by definition the referees deciding the game.

And far more disconcerting was the state of the field and the NFL decision to apparently paint the grass with their logos.  Players on both sides slipped, fell, and this determined the course of several plays. 

Anyway, Kansas City won and now Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are amongst the Pantheon of NFL Greats as two-time Super Bowl winners.  As to the classlessness of the fans in Philadelphia, I'll leave the analysis to Jarrett Payton, son of Chicago Bears legend Walter, 

“It hurt me a little bit because even in that moment, you can be upset with all those guys, guys that are on the rival team that you play against, but still in that moment, it took me back a little bit. I was like, come on, man, for all the good this guy is doing in the community, just clap for him for a little bit. Maybe when he’s walking off the field and the stage, then you can boo him. But while he’s up there, show him his props.  I didn’t take it personal, but the football gods were looking down on them when they did that. There’s a reason why Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs came out in that second half and laid it to them. It is what it is.”

Of more or possibly less concern is the multiple Unidentified Flying Objects shot down over the past week.  OF course, of fucking course the Republicans see this as an opportunity to attack President Biden and their rightwing drones will accept nothing less than an admission by the GAY WOKE Norad and limp-wristed Air Force that President Biden and his son Hunter in conjunction with the Chinese Government allowed these objects over America to weaken us because China Joe owes the Chinese for stealing the 2020 Presidential election and also these are Chinese BioWeapons being deployed to deplete our precious freedoms and NO MASKS!!!! 

James Cormer current Republican liar in charge of the House Oversight went on a wild speculation, 

“My concern is that the federal government doesn’t know what’s in that balloon. Is that bioweapons in that balloon? Did that balloon take off from Wuhan? We don’t know anything about that balloon.”

When pressed that he had nothing to base this on, zero evidence, Cormer responded twice with the Sea-Lion JAQing off response, "I asked a question".  A disingenuous technique which Republicans favor because it makes them seem smart and inquisitive when it's naught but a method of pushing outrageous rightwing lies and propaganda and putting the burden of disproving their bullshit on their opponent.

There is no situation that Republicans can not make worse, because the Republican Party has NOTHING to offer the American people.  No substantive policies.  No plans to improve the lives of Americans.  Nothing but fear & anger.  And this is what the Republican villains pump into the country daily; Fear & Anger.
