Drunk Derrick Van Orden (aka Jussie Smolett) shows how Republicans will Weaponize the Department of Justice

 Yep. Drunk Van Orden is vile lying sack of shit and complete discredit to the United States Naval Service as he continues to violate his Oaths of Office.  During the Wisconsin RNC Drunk Van Orden ran into a Codepink protestor and then demanded she be arrested for "assaulting him".  The woman Nour Jaghama was arrested and held for 15 hours.  What a fucking liar.  Van Orden's a big man and a Navy SEAL.  How small is this CodePink woman?

Of course, it is no surprise he made this claim against a tiny minority woman, affiliated with far Leftist organization, like CodePink.  He viewed her as someone he can bully and hurt.  Immediately, Drunk Van Orden took to his social media to decry the "political violence" he, Donald Trump, and other Republicans are facing.  It's been a long standing Republican policy to gin up a false charge so they can deflect from their own actions and cry Victim!  We've already seen Pro-Palestinian Genocide rightwingers pull this stunt several times during counter-protests, as when rightwing liar Sahar Tartak claimed to have been stabbed in the eye during a Yale protest and was invited to speak on numerous Faux News segments.

Drunk Van Orden gave a preview of how Republicans will utilize state-sanctioned violence against anyone who opposes the Racist Rapist Rightwing Agenda.  Republicans claims about the "Weaponized Department of Justice" were a fucking admission of how they are going to round-up and eliminate people who resist or protest their fascist agenda.

Remember it's not that Drunk Van Orden believes he was attacked it's what pretending to believe he was attacked gives him license to do.

But, it also demonstrates while there are good Officers who will not Just Follow Orders, there is a huge segment of the LEO community who yearn to be unleashed to "bash hippies"like their grandaddies did.  And even though, Nour Jaghama was released without charges 

The anti-war protester accused by Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden of assault this week at the Republican National Convention will not face charges after prosecutors said they found "insufficient" evidence to back up the accusations.

Kent Lovern, the chief deputy district attorney for Milwaukee County, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the evidence in the case, including police body camera footage, "is insufficient to support a criminal charge" against the Code Pink activist Nour Jaghama.

I guarantee you any Police Officer aware of this arrest aren't mad at Drunk Van Orden for lying and filing false charges.  No, they are bitching about how this Woke DEI liberal DA won't charge criminals and are pinning for Trump to get into Office so they can go put some Law&Order back into America.  These same Officers will still reference "Juicy Smo-lay" as the example of how some people should never be believed and all of those people file false reports.  

We saw the type of Law&Order Police Officers (and college campus Administrators) want to impose on the Nation during the despicable response to Anti-Genocide protests at college campuses.  Where the immediate reaction to any protest which had a whiff of leftist agitation was met with overwhelming and immediate violence.  And understand the Republicans want there to be large protests during Trump's Administration.  They will use the protests presence to unleash their brutal death squads.  Faux News and other rightwing propagandists will obfuscate, sow confusion about the issues and use the protests as a pretext to call for crackdowns.  And Republicans want to unleash more than just arrests, Tom Cotton and others want to murder protesters outright and have been providing vocal support to extrajudicial killings, not only by Police Officers but, by rightwing paramilitary criminals as well. 

And the Corporate Media will simply ignore the Protestors as they did in 2003 during the Iraq War and the regurgitate Republican lies and Police department propaganda like they did circa 2014-2020, during BLM protests. 

Things look bleak, and Fascists already have too much power, but everything not lost.  Right now you have a chance to convince people to vote against Republican tyrants and traitors.  Vote like your life depends on it because other people do and Republicans are never satisfied. 

ETA:

As for conservatives, they don't believe in limited government, and all their calls about not trusting government or politicians (like Drunk Van Orden) are sheer hypocrisy because what conservatives want is to use the Awesome Power of Government to round-up and liquidate large segments of the Nation.

This is what conservatives did in response to Drunk Van Orden false police report; 

Two hours after his post on X, we received a death threat, saying: "The next Palestinian protest in the street. I'm going to get my semi truck and run over you fucking faggots and make road pancake out of you you fucking cunt. I hope you all die bitch/"

CODEPINK has reported the death threat to the FBI. We have also demanded that the police release the body cam footage of the incident. And we have filed a complaint against the congressman with the Congressional Ethic Committee.

Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 40: More Police Training is not the answer especially not "Street Cop Training"

Reform the Police, a refrain as old as Police themselves.  But, we will never get the proper answer until we understand the question?  "More Training" has been the Panacea to combat Police brutality and misconduct but, can the Police as currently conceived, designed, organized, and utilized be retrained?

More than a decade ago I became aware of the grotesque David Grossman and his On Killing / Warrior Cop police training, a course of instruction designed to turn even well-adjusted LEOs into sacred trigger happy panicked shooters and affording psychotic Police Officers the justification they needed to gun down any black man they saw.

Grossman's "Killology" training wasn't a bizarre outlier from a weirdo who never saw combat but, a highly touted and widespread methodology which had been taught to thousands of cops and merely the most visible of the Let's make police into brutal abusers philosophy. 

Sadly, it seems a vast swath of politicians were never aware of this training until it had already wrecked an entire generation of Police Officers in a similar way the Joe Rogan/Andrew Tate/Jordan Peterson toxic masculinity has warped and deluded the young generation of Zoomer boys these days.  The general approach was to simply allocate the money for "More Training" and let the departments pick and choose.

Therefore, in this Post-Ferguson era, we still see toxic training being sold to Officers and the content provided by these so-called trainers containing vulgar, rude, discriminatory, unconstitutional methods, demeaning misogynoy, and toxic masculinity.  

Street Cop, founded in 2012, is a private law enforcement training vendor that conducts business in the State of New Jersey. The founder and CEO of the Company is Dennis Benigno, a former law enforcement officer who worked with a municipal police department in Middlesex County, New Jersey, until 2015. 

Benigno claims to lead “one of the largest, if not the largest, police training providers in the United States,” impacting approximately 25,000 to 30,000 law enforcement officers nationally on an annual basis. In New Jersey alone, the Company conducts 40 to 45 courses annually, training in “excess of 2000 state and local law enforcement officers.” Included in the New Jersey course offerings is a case law class “tailored specifically to New Jersey,” which Benigno himself instructs.

Among other things, OSC found:

  • Instructors at the Conference promoted the use of unconstitutional policing tactics for motor vehicle stops;
  • Some instructors glorified violence and an excessively militaristic or “warrior” approach to policing. Other presenters spoke disparagingly of the internal affairs process; promoted an “us vs. them” approach; and espoused views and tactics that would undermine almost a decade of police reform efforts in New Jersey, including those aimed at de-escalating civilian-police encounters, building trust with vulnerable populations, and increasing officers’ ability to understand, appreciate, and interact with New Jersey’s diverse population; and
  • The Conference included over 100 discriminatory and harassing remarks by speakers and instructors, with repeated references to speakers’ genitalia, lewd gestures, and demeaning quips about women and minorities.
The New Jersey Office of State Comptroller has a detailed report of the vile bullshit and borderline criminal misconduct taught at a 6 day seminar in Atlantic City in October 2021.  And what did The Founder of Street Cop, Dennis Benigno with his synthol oil muscles, and his instructors teach?  Why the same tired Reactionary Crap of Warrior Cop hyper-vigilance.  The repetition of the US and Them, Kill or Be Killed, Treat Everyone Like a Dirtbag Criminal and you might just go home alive.

I've been to a lot of training over the years and immediately steer clear of the hard-chargers who come in festooned in street tactical 5.11 clothing, wearing their duty/off-duty pistol in their low leg holster... 

What we always find with this type of training or an institution like Street Cop; is the classic reductive stereo-types which have been repeated since Joseph Wambaugh and Clint Eastwood invented them 60 years ago.  Righteous god fearing white christian police beset by the savage hordes of blacks, hispanics, queers, and others while namby-pamby bleeding heart liberals tie the Police hands instead of letting them do the righteous work.  Of course, the foundation stretches back even further to the lies Wyatt Earp and Tom Mix sold Hollywood of the lone lawman fighting for Law&Order over a 100 years ago.

Even today, right now, the Republican Party and rightwing propagandists continue to propagate this bullshit, the stereotype that if only "Our" Police were unshackled, if only the crime-coddling Democrats got out of the way, if only the media didn't broadcast Chauvin's extrajudicial killing of George Floyd crime wouldn't be out of control.

Never forget the people that say this are the ideological descendants of those who gave Nixon and Regan the free reign to use draconian methods in the "War on Drugs".  And were absolutely fine when the fucking terror was rained down upon poor and minority communities.  Back then Police didn't raid and bust ever rich white frat house at Dartmouth now did they?  But, once the War on Drugs began to impact little "Maddie & Connor", well then white society demanded leniency and counseling and treatment instead of incarceration and a life-long sentence which fucked millions by giving them a criminal record.

Do you know why the Republicans in Congress like Major Traitor Greene and that Coward Josh Hawley are still so mad at the Capitol Police?  Because Republicans expected the Police to aid them, and their rightwing paramilitary terrorists on January 6th in overthrowing the Government.

Remember the issue isn't just Reforming the Police or finding/fixing/removing the few bad apples it's also dealing with the bad faith efforts of conservatives to undermine solutions while demonizing the efforts in order to obtain political power.  Recall how Republicans and their compliant corporate media stenographers told the American populace that #DefundthePolice was the official policy of Joe Biden and every Democrat office-holder.  Then couple that with the Republican predilection of axiomatically defending every extrajudicial killing of a minority in America and you have the right ingredients for the Modern Reactionary Police.  A Police Force that will readily stomp on the faces of anyone who hinders the White Power Christian Fascist Nation the Republicans seek to turn the United States into...

Shall Not Be Infringed 12: Unelected hooligan Amy Conney Barrett set to break Gun Laws in Illinois

The Supreme Sinister Six*
 The crime spree coming from the Supreme Sinister Six makes any comic book villain look stupid, petty, tame, or small.  The Six Republicans on the Court not only get away with mundane crimes like theft and bribery but, are busily pulling off the most villainous conspiracy ever shown in the Marvel Cinematic Universe;  the Destruction of the United States of America.

In this episode, Amy "Covid or Coathanger" Barrett, is set to strike another blow against Law&Order in Illinois.  A Colorado Law Firm filed an injunction on behalf of Naperville resident Robert Bevis and his gun store Law Weapons & Supply to Coathanger Barrett asking, whether under the SCOTUS decrees of DC v. Heler (2008) and NY State Pistol v. Bruen (2022), the Seventh District ruling on the Illinois Law was correct.  Always remember that what gun humping psychos rely upon is conflating man-made laws with the concept of "Natural Rights".  The MAGIC WORDS contained in the 2nd Amendment are a distillation of this, in that gun nuts and conservatives, claim certain laws are divinely inspired and thus not to be constrained by human laws.  This is of course, SHEER NONSENSE.  There are no "Natural Rights", there are no laws inspired by god or some Platonic ideal, the law is a human construct and nothing else.

So when you often hear disingenuous conservative gun nuts claim, Just Enforce the Gun Laws on the Books what they want is to derail discussions on curbing the unrestricted gun violence.  Then they rely on the Supreme Court decisions which have undercut gun laws passed in various states.  It's a brilliant if bad faith Catch-22 but, it serves the purpose of the Firearms Manufacturing Industry (and all those who derive $$$ from the free flow of guns throughout America) of one day eliminating all the laws on the books so that Guns truly Shall Not Be Infringed.  

Additionally, striking Gun Laws in Democratic states allows Republicans to claim gun violence is out of control in Democratic states.  And since conservatives are wholly ignorant of the laws of Cause-and-Effect, Republican traitors get to wave the bloody shirt of Out-of-Control Crime and ooga-booga scare their white voting base into electing more Republican Traitors.  Another brilliant Catch-22.

It must always be understood, conservatives cling to their guns because they fantasize about the day they will be able to round-up and shoot millions of Americans in a holocaust homage to their Nazi heroes.

The Sinister Six don't worry about gun violence because they are swaddled in so many layers of protection and have no fear about a mass shooter getting anywhere near them and they obviously don't grok the concept of domestic violence or worry about their husbands grabbing a gun to shoot their so-called loved ones.

Being Homeless in America means facing derision, demonization, and death

America is a Pauper Nation.  And it's very costly to be poor or unhoused.  From New York to San Francisco social media and cell phone cameras are letting America see some of the abuse the less fortunate face in America.  We don't have a housing or a border or a migrant crisis we have a crisis of compassion.  The United States of America, the supposed richest nation on the Earth, has a paucity of humanity.

In early April, Faux News, Corporate Media, and rightwing on-line agitators hyped and highlighted the brutal attack by a homeless man on an honorable retired Don Carmignani!

Would you buy a used car from a fucking guy
who poses for this kind of picture?
Carmignani's friend Joe Alioto-Veronese did a media junket bemoaning the attack and highlighting how San Francisco bleeding heart liberals are allowing criminals free reign over good people!  Rightwing media tried to tie this attack into the murder of CashApp creator Bobby Lee and conservatives constantly use the tried-and-true method of repetition repetition repetition to make people absorb and uncritically regurgitate conservative lies about crime and grant people the ability to unconsciously know that liberals are [n]-word lovers and criminal coddlers.  Thus, the implicit bias (as well as explicit bias) becomes the default position and reinforces the lie that Republicans are for Law & Order. 

Carmignani wrote, without a sense of shame or irony, “I firmly believe that the city needs to promote the safety of its law-abiding citizens over those who chose to do drugs and commit violent acts in our streets. I am hopeful that this unfortunate incident will lead to policy changes to better protect the interests of San Francisco residents.”

Except it turns out that Carmignani is far from law-abiding and has, since November 2021, been walking around San Francisco committing violent acts in the street by assaulting homeless people throughout the city.  There have been 8 documented attacks in the last year and a half where a fat criminal matching Don Carmignani's appearance used "bear spray" on random unhoused persons.  How many people did the violent criminal Carmignani assault who didn't report it?

So, a month ago when Carmignani pepper-sprayed his latest victims, a trio of homeless people, one of them grabbed a pipe and fought back.  That man Garrett A. Doty was initially arrested and charged with several felonies.  But, fortunately, 

Prosecutors have alerted former San Francisco Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani they will be moving to dismiss charges in a brutal beating he suffered outside his mother's home in the city's Marina District earlier this month, according to his attorney.

Carmignani's attorney said the assistant district attorney said the office now considers the incident self-defense and indicated other evidence of attacks on homeless people believed to have been committed by Carmignani has led to the decision to dismiss the case.
 
Doty's public defender, Kleigh Hathaway, told reporters Wednesday that in the last 24 hours, her office had received new information about what appears to be a pattern of incidents allegedly involving Carmignani, all within a four-block radius of the Marina District home. 
"The district attorney and the police have now reason to believe that Mr. Carmignani was involved in eight - eight - separate acts of violence," said Hathaway. "These eight separate acts of violence were perpetrated against people who are homeless. The district attorney and the police gave us, the defense, yesterday, these police reports because they believe these acts are related to Mr. Carmignani."
So, as always a rightwing asshole went out to attack people and then when they fought back he claimed to be the victim and used the legal system to go after his victims.  I guess Doty and the multiple other victims, Carmignani terrorized are lucky he didn't just shoot them because then Carmignani would have the Rittenhouse Defense of dead men telling no tales.  

Meanwhile on the New York City Subway, a mentally ill, unhoused man was choked to death by a a big bad Marine Veteran. The god-awful New York Post framed this is the most rightwing way ever highlighting the homeless man's previous arrests for disorderly conduct and fare-jumping and using the passive voice of a man on subway lost consciousness and could not be revived, as though an unseen force of nature were responsible for his death.

The white dude, cheered on and helped by other callous villains, decided to use deadly force on a mentally ill person because; why not? If Tucker Carlson hadn't been fired for a level of vile bigotry, grotesque sexual harassment, and racist white supremacist rhetoric, (which proved even too much for Fox News!), he would be lionizing the 24 year old's actions.  And too the eternal shame of New York Governor Kathy Hochul she seemed to justify this killing.

What we are witnessing is Fascism in Action;  certain peoples are never afforded protection from the state.  Migrants, the homeless community, LGBTQ are unpersons and don't count to the rightwing mind.  And in every Republican controlled state, legislation has advanced to look the other way when people do violence on them or even justify it.  But, never forget that once rightwingers destroy one group of people, their bloodlust is not satiated, Republicans will look for a new group to demonize, deride and destroy.

Prepare yourself because Rightwing death squads and Republican run death camps are certainly in the air and one disastrous election in 2024 away...

Human Trafficking in Texas and Florida. Have you seen this Republican Ettin? (Updated)

The Republican Ettin*
Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott are the highest profile kidnappers and human traffickers in America.  For weeks, I've been bombarded by YouTube's rightwing algorithm pestering me to choose where to send Biden's Migrant Buses next.  No matter how many times I click the don't show me this inappropriate ad again it comes back.

Greg Abattoir has been rounding-up human beings by gunpoint and sending them to various states in order to #OwntheLibs, this is a widely popular move amongst conservatives who love when people are mistreated and sent off to unknown places.  I mentioned back then that besides the horrific inhumanity of the actions it's also training for when Republicans decide to round-up other "illegals" and send them to concentration camps.  I have no doubt that conservatives would support the mass murder of millions of people in the name of Law&Order.

As I've mentioned before allowing Republicans to stake out claims to being the party of Christianity or Law&Order or "Pro-Life was a mistake and it's one of the biggest lies the Corporate Media continues to help Reactionary Republicans propagate.  Greg Abbott's lawless pro-gun, anti-infrastructure policies kills thousands of Texans every year.  Meanwhile, Ron DeathSentence killed at least 100,000 people in Florida by incessantly lying about Covid and Vaccines.  Since then he's engaged in #OwntheLibs executive actions and legislation which is inhumane and unchristian. 

And that's the point;  Republicans are not Christian in any way.  Neither are they for the Rule of Law.  Nor are the Pro-Life.  Republicans are vile, cruel, vindictive terrorists who have nothing to offer the American people but, bile and rancor.  The fascist conservatives on Twitter and their non-stop shit posting demonstrated how evil rightwingers have become and how much they yearn to kill Americans.

So, DeSantis lawless gotcha libs moment by abducting 50 human beings from Texas, through Florida, to Martha's Vineyard is more than just some stunt.  DeathSentence used taxpayer money, and I'm not certain any type of proper and legal investigation determined the immigration status of the people lured to the flight with lies but, the generous reaction of the people of Massachusetts really demonstrated how little regard Republicans have for actual human life.  Besides all the breast beating about abortion, the treatment of refugees and the constant repetition about "illegal" immigrants highlights the brutal inhumanity which lives deep in the dark psyche and twisted souls of Republicans.

Of course, the people who have been dealing with these political stunts have been treating the frightened, mistreated refugees in accordance with Jesus' teachings.  For whatever that's worth... Because it doesn't matter one whit to conservatives.  Conservative Jesus is a murdering bigot who tortures his enemies and teaches Americans hatred.

And as Republicans ratchet up their "political stunts" it's clear conservatives decided to totally scrap the Constitution and make up laws that suit the moment and justify their headlong rush into full-blown Fascism.  The Constitution of has No Authority any longer as - The Right's goal is to Rule America or Ruin it.  

Update:

Josh Marshall and the writers over at Talking Points Memo have uncovered and written about the nefarious lies used to entice the migrants and Reagan-esque bypassing of official government employees by using someone named "Perla" to get these people on board the flight.  DeSantis and The on-line FASH obviously thought this would be a giant cluster of affluent liberals calling the Police and demanding the "illegals" be removed.  Even now rightwing liars on Twitter claim the libs of Massachusetts forcibly deported these people whom DeSantis abducted.  The headlong flight into 100% propaganda and non-stop lies is complete, conservatives have no connection to reality.  Of course, in reality, that doesn't matter since the subjective rightwing universe is all that matters to them.

*- Though Republican ettins have a low intelligence, they are cunning fighters. They prefer to ambush their victims.  Republican ettin administrations are a haven for parasites and vermin, and it isn't unusual for the Republicans ettins themselves to be infected with various parasitic diseases.

Republicans plan to murder Police and Federal Law Enforcement Officers

Watch out because if you have an acronym Republicans and conservatives are going to murder you.

And no I'm not just talking about LGBTQ persons, though conservatives are aching to kill them, but members of the FBI and IRS.

The biggest lies in modern politics is that conservatives love and cherish the military and police.  They don't.  Conservatives only support Veterans, servicemembers and law enforcement who openly aid in their advancement of the rightwing agenda of oppression and intolerance.  When courts or officers arrest rightwingers for crimes then the murder threats emerge.

And conservatives openly make these declarations of terrorism and threats on social media platforms and in crass mass murder tik tok videos.  The rhetoric of murdering law enforcement is so heated even Faux News morons are begging Trump's lackeys and elected Republicans to tone it done.

Meanwhile, Traitor Trump is not only doing his hammiest mob boss imitation but is also aping the plot of a lurid spy novel.  Trump has been passing covert HUMINT sources and intelligence to foreign agencies resulting in numerous deaths.  From The New York Times article;

Republicans don't care because Republicans hate America.  Republicans long ago voided The Social Contract and no longer adhere to their professed beliefs about "Natural Rights" and "Positive Rights" even if some more widely heard Conservatives voices mouth the Theories expounded in in Locke's political philosophy.  This is no better illustrated than in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.  In Locke's legal theory of rights you have to the "right" to self-defense, but you also have the duty to submit to the state to prove you asserted this right lawfully. 

Conservatives no longer believe this; what Conservatives believe is they have absolute rights.  Rightwingers asserted it was a supreme injustice that Rittenhouse even had to face a trial; the fact he was a right-winger made his actions de facto lawful.  

And more to this point, conservatives believe government is only legitimate when they are in power.  This extends all the way from the Presidency to local school boards.  See for instance Ted Cruz, whining on Twitter with the passage of the IRA
"the Democrats are trying to overturn the Supreme Court’s West Virginia v. EPA victory.
This is easily understand due to the fact conservatives abandoned Lockean Liberalism for Fascism years ago.  Historical rightwing pleas towards Law&Order have always been hollow and used a rhetorical cudgel to Bash the Left;  hatred of Federal Law Enforcement was on full display in the 1990's but, now social media platform let's us see starkly how vicious, vile, mean, and criminal a large percentage of conservatives are in a way that the media landscape in the Nineties didn't capture.

Conservatives are yearning, begging, aching to be unleashed to act as a paramilitary Secret Police rounding up and liquidating "dissidents".  And the list of dissidents has the Usual Suspects but, is ever-growing as rightwingers salivate at the prospect of over-throwing the US Government and installing their Fascist White Supremacist Slave State.

Now conservatives see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! Trump is being oppressed!!!

"Prison life is no different from our lives out here in the free world..  The prison system is not... the best.  There is an opportunity, to get the best out of an individual."  2008 Interview with Ron Lyle, the hardest hitting heavyweight boxer of all time.

For years conservatives applauded every extrajudicial killing of a black person; declaring just comply.  

When did Espionage become a crime in America!

For years conservatives defended every instance of Police brutality and misconduct and denied the existence of systemic mistreatment of people charged with crimes.

For years conservatives declared if you aren't doing anything wrong and you have nothing to hide then you don't have any reason to fear police or investigations.

Just a few months ago conservatives salivated over the prospect of arresting women and doctors for medical procedures rightwingers deem objectionable.

But, then... the FBI and Department of Justice executed a search warrant on the diseased premises of Mar-A-Lago and conservatives lost their fucking minds.  The fawning gross adulation and grotesque Back the Blue idolatry went immediately out the window.  Right-wingers concocted absorb legal fictions defending Trump.  Faux News said the FBI was planting evidence.  Republicans vowed to DEFUND THE POLICE!  When faced with the prospect of adhering to the Rule of Law, conservatives won't abandon illegal activities they will abandon the Rule of Law.

Brandon walked into the Capitol then walked
into the Court and then walked away
from his co-conspirators so he could
cry for criminals he walked away from
The collective conservative conniption fit over the FBI raid on the Trump Crime Family comes at Mar-A-Lago  and the Jan 6th criminals facing the consequences for their criminal activities (highlighted by Brandon Straka's cosplay crying in a cage at CPAC for all his incarcerated co-conspirators whom Brandon Straka informed upon) shows how Rightwing Authoritarians view Law Enforcement,

For my friends everything, for my enemies the law - Óscar R. Benavides

Conservatives believe the law and government exist to enforce their dictates and to defend their ideology and safeguard their political power.  If the government or law enforcement doesn't do these things it is ipso facto illegitimate.  The Law and law enforcement exists to help advance the rightwing agenda of hatred, oppression, and subjugation. 

By thine own pantomime shall ye be judged
And now we know that Trump is being investigated for violations of the Espionage Acts the outright rightwing rejection of Law&Order, which they've touted as the cornerstone of America, is escalating...  Breitbart doxxed the FBI Agents who searched Mar-A-Lago a day after a not yet indicted Jan6th Trump Terrorist committed another crime and attacked the FBI Officers in Cincinnati.

Personally, (after his trial and conviction) it might be appropriate for a specific Army squad to present Traitor Trump with his own solution to dealing with those accused of "espionage"...

The Supremacist Court and Republican Party 2022: End Women's Suffrage - Start Women's Suffering

You have no rights Alito and The Supremacist Court 
are bound to respect.  You are a slave.

It isn't theoretical anymore.  The prospect of women being in excruciating pain and dying from complications from pregnancy is precisely what Republicans want women thinking about.

Capitol Fax posted fallout for women in the states surrounding Illinois.  The idea that a woman comes into a Hospital needing emergency services but, Doctors are too afraid to treat her for fear of Republican zealots coming for them financially, rhetorically, and physically shows what Republicans have in store for Us all eventually but, also and most importantly what is happening Right. Damn. Now.

Kristi Noem was interviewed by Martha Raddatz, and for once a Corporate Media did not let a vile Republican Governor elide answering questions.  Raddatz pointed out South Dakota now has a total ban on abortion including all cases in which the fetus is unviable and the women will die.  Raddatz continued that South Dakota has no assistance or post natal care and Noem, in her dead eye stare kept talking about how her state would walk with mothers and touted the website they created to help.  Noem then unknowingly admitted that non-profits and churches would be tasked with most of the help.  But, it was Noem's loaded phrase she does not "anticipate" South Dakota will take up proposals that incentivize residents to report women suspected of seeking or aiding in abortions which was most chilling and indicative of the fascist future.

This is an exercise in sheer naked aggression and power.  Very much in line with the Rape-publican Party 

Also, now comes the time when the so-called Originalist Court and the rightwingers who falsely profess to adore and cherish the Constitution to throw out the Freedom of Movement clause.  Republicans are going to pass legislation that the unique nature of abortion (especially since it infringes on their religious liberty) necessitates the need to create internal border checkpoints, that women seeking to travel outside their states need to show proof of negative pregnancy test (ha take that libtards just like your Covid restrictions!) and empowers them to curtail 200 years of legal reasoning and ruling with regards to freedom of movement. 

Then it's only a matter of time until the Puzzi Alito Court looks at 1920 Womens' Suffrage as being incompatible with the Originality of the Constitution and "not deeply rooted in the Nation's history and traditions."  In fact, let's take a direct statement from Alito Dobbs unjust ruling and change 3 words;

  • The inescapable conclusion is that a right to women's vote is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions. On the contrary, an unbroken tradition of prohibiting women's voting on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1920.”
Today, The Supremacist Court just ruled to curtail the EPA.  If you think the Republicans will stop you're deluding yourself.  The Republicans feel emboldened, they know they can blame Biden for everything, they can act with impunity because they have the Police Forces across the Country to "dispassionately" enforce the Supreme Court's Will (i.e. Officers festooned in their best Judge Dredd regalia beat, tase, and gas unarmed women under the guise of law&order), while Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Jonathan Turley, and any number of skeevy on-line trolls will feed buckets of lies and obfuscate furiously to keep conservatives placid, fat, and happy that they are Owning the Libs.  They've been yearning for this moment and are enjoying every single second. 

Republicans are coming for every right to self determination for the poor and oppressed, every progressive gain to curtail the rapacious Corporate domination of the USA, and every protection from the power of religious bigotry and oppression.  They are coming for it all.  And the Republicans won't stop until this is a White Power Theocratic Slave State again.

The Fedsurrection Conspiracy

Last year <- How conservatives see Jan6th -> This Year

"Be embarrassed & hide if you need to- but I was there. It was not Antifa at the Capitol. It was freedom loving Patriots who were DESPERATE to fight for the final hope of our Republic because literally nobody cares about them." - direct quote from the criminal complaint of Brandon Straka, well known rightwing troll, laid out in the state of facts section.

So, when faced with the consequences of their actions, conservatives and Republicans retreated to their favorite Safe Zone; the nebulous conspiracy theory.  The Party of Personal Responsibility has None.  When writing my last post on the Congressional Republicans efforts to swindle the 2020 election through the John Eastman Memo and legerdemain, I forgot to mention the newest dodge Republicans profred up; the Feds did it!

Before going on I would like point out if the FBI and other domestic law enforcement agencies did cut off and interdict the Trump GOP Legislative Coup attempt it would go down as the greatest counter intelligence operation in United States History.

As part of their lying counter-narrative to January 6th, Republicans rolled out two neck deep Co-conspirators in the attempted Autogolpe De Estado, the Republicans attempted to pull off last year; Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Rafael Ted Cruz used his Senate pulpit to imply there was a large array of FBI informants and agents in the riotous criminal crowd which battered Officers, stormed the Capitol building and planned to execute the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and any Democratic Representative they could lay their hands upon.  Of course, on 01/06/21 just an hour before the storming of the Capitol building Ted Cruz was on the Senate floor giving impassioned speeches about baseless Voter Fraud (part of the legislative Coup the Senate and House Republicans were plotting). 

Anyway I won't play the game of chasing the Republican Gish Gallop of lis about January 6th but point out 738 arrests have been made from the Capitol Insurrection; and the people thus far arrested are not Antifa or BLm but, mostly well-to-do Trump supporters.  Additionally, those people who arrived in DC in January 2021, were probably bused in by Republican heavily funded Turning Point USA as this now deleted tweet by low-life Charlie Kirk alleged.

Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer face twisted in rage, long stringy gray goatee flowing in the cold wind, festooned in an Oath Keeper hat, of which he is a founding member, is a well-known white supremacist deeply steeped in rightwing extremism. 

Additionally, besides Trump's speech, "We're going to the Capitol.  We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country", inciting the Crowd to Storm the Capitol, Republican Congressman Mo Brooks stated quite plainly, "Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass.”  Afterwards Brooks told everyone to "not rush to judgement" and "wait for the investigation" as evidence was growing it was the work of fascist ANTIFA.

But, of course, conservatives will never believe the results of the on-going investigation into the rightwing attempt to overthrow the United States Government, usurp the rightful election of President Jospeh R. Biden and install floppy, flabby, fascist Dictator Donald John Trump because conservatives made up their minds that day.  Remember the MAGA crowd does not see the FBI as an ally and defenders of Law&Order but, as a counterproductive agency stopping Trumpism from reigning.  The FBI is the most reactionary organization in American history but, what MAGA want is a Trumpstapho or Trumpstazi personally loyal to Trump and ruthless in pursuit of their enemies.  

A Cult of Personality.  A Paramilitary Squad outside the rule of law and unconstrained by oversight or chain of command.  Like the Proud Boys. The Oath Keepers Breakers.  And all the other thousands of fascists and rightwing domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol that day with the clear intent on disrupting the Electoral Process and overthrowing the United States government.
