This is a brief but very informative synopsis, with some real experts weighing in. ‘It’s terrifying’: The extreme belief system of QAnon, who’s following and why
QAnon’rs believe a coup will happen with the help of the U.S. military and those involved in the deep state will be arrested and executed.
A military and religious union, disturbing to Jack Bratich, an Associate Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University. Bratich has studied extremism for decades.
“We put that combination together and I think you have people who are ready for all kinds of actions and martyrdom when it comes to this,” said Bratich. “Once you have a sector of a population that’s ready for that, I think that’s what makes things quite dangerous.”

I don’t agree. I watched the video a dozen times. While it could be a woman I don’t think it is. That’s my gut take.
They have pics of the shoes and bricks in the street. What size is the shoe? How tall is the person? The FBI knows this and I’m assuming they’re letting quiet for a reason.
I can’t say simply by looking at the material. I think the biggest assumption is people like bombers in this country tend to be men, and attitudes about what a man “should look like,” which then skews what they see. The person seems to be small, so it must be a woman.
I’ve been confused by street harassers in cities before in the evening because of my size and measurements.

And we all know, the second the military becomes involved, we are no longer in a constitutional republic; no matter what happen after, even if the military cedes power back one second later. Our government, from then on, is only at the sufferance of the military, and therefore it’s over.

Yeah, it’s in the same ballpark as their fantasies about a “new constitutional convention” where they believe they’ll be able to come together and totally rewrite the constitution to reflect only their views.

Something like that happened in the show Jericho.

Charles Lindbergh was invited to speak before the US House, arguing against intervening in World War 2, claiming it was simply the United Kingdom, Franklin Roosevelt, and Teh JOOOOOOOS trying to get us involved in a war following the invasion of Czechoslovakia. Someone invited him there, but I can’t find who.
Roosevelt had him dismissed from the Army Air Corps over that, although Lindbergh later served in the Pacific Theatre after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.
In 1970, Lindbergh wrote a book arguing the United States really lost World War 2. The New York Times has an article about that book.
Lindbergh Says U. S. ‘Lost’ World War II (August 30, 1970)
Charles A. Lindbergh, who was one of America’s leading opponents of entry into World War II, still believes that he was right in urging the country to stay out of the conflict. Indeed, he contends that the United States, in the perspective of the last 30 years, lost the war.
This conviction is disclosed in “The Wartime Journals of Charles A. Lindbergh” to he “published Sept. 30 by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.

The House passed the HEROES Act over 9 months ago. McConnell sat on it for months, insisting there was no need for further action because the crisis would resolve itself and “there’s money that hasn’t been spent!”
Then when August came and it became obvious that the crisis wasn’t resolved and the public was demanding further action, McConnell sought out Dem help…oh wait, no, he got a small group of Senate Repubs together to try to hammer together a bill that would pass a party-line vote but could never get past the “deficit hawk” portion of his caucus and so punted to the WH.
The WH kept talks going for weeks by constantly insisting that they wouldn’t budge on a >$1T package of “targeted” relief that was (you guessed it) purely aimed at bailing out big businesses while Trump hemmed and hawed about new checks. Then when it finally looked like progress was being made, Trump suddenly decided he was in favor of new checks and blew up the talks.
Finally, as the election was coming to a close and Repubs realized they were getting hammered for refusing to pass a relief bill, they decided they were suddenly ready to talk again…but only if Dems would agree to a $900B bill in the twilight hours of the year. The agreement at the time on the Dem side was that such was a “down payment,” that a larger bill would be passed if they won the Senate in early Jan.
Well, guess what, they won the Senate. They’re keeping to their promise. Yertle and his fellow whiners can kiss the whitest part of my ass.

The deeper the DOJ ventures down the rabbit hole, the clearer it becomes that those involved in the failed coup were motivated in part by the belief that they would be absolved of their crimes. That even if the corrupted DOJ could not succeed in covering up their involvement, Trump would simply pardon them and that would be the end of it.
We’re expecting a major snowfall later today so I pulled myself out of bed early this morning to meet my friend for a morning stroll instead of our traditional late afternoon gettogether. I asked her about how her first inoculation went on Thursday. She drove over 20 miles to the facility (I know that’s nothing to many of you in remote areas but city traffic can be a killer) only to learn that they could not vaccinate her. What happened? Her internist did not realize that other vaccinations have to be administered at least 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the coronavirus vaccines! I was fortunate that my doctor was aware of this limitation so we are delaying all other inoculations until after I can finally get the vaccine — whenever that may be.

Because they don’t need a majority of the voters in the state in order to seize power, they only need a majority of the voters they allow to cast a vote. And after this past November, you can be sure they will do everything in their power before 2022 to suppress as votes as it takes to put their pro-Trump slate into office.
Absolutely. After 2016 the powerbrokers on the right realised that Republicans would vote for anything. Anything at all, as long as it gave them the same pleasurable feeling of hate. The size of that voter base is not relevant - winning most votes only matters in a democracy, which the US is not.
re: #102 Belafon
The party is dying. The problem is that our current form of government allows them to keep issuing commands from their death bed.
Every time we’re told that the party is “dying,” the damned thing lurches to life and takes another bite out of our ass. My biggest worry right now? That with Trump gone from the WH, it’s going to be an even bigger uphill climb to avoid losing one or both houses of Congress.
But but but HE NEVER LEFT HIS BASEMENT! How could he have gotten so many votes when only 10 people showed up at his rallies? Election was stolen! He’s a fake president.
This is what I am living with. I’ve given up on arguing about it.

re: #88 William Lewis
No effing reason to be shooting at a shoplifter. If I were the DA I’d charge the fool with attempted murder (though a conviction on reckless endangerment would be good.). I also hope the person he hit sues the snot out of him.
There are valid places and times to use a personal defense weapon, though many fewer than RAMBO! wants to imagine. This was emphatically not one of them.
Wingnuts imagine themselves as gunslinger sheriffs or something. Libertarians hold property rights to be sacred above everything else.
That said, Arizona doesn’t have an explicit “stand your ground” law, and force used must be proportional to the threat (shoplifting doesn’t equal shooting like it does say in Florida).
That said, to get a conviction on murder or manslaughter charges, you would need to have a jury of twelve non-wingnuts and non-libertarians to avoid a hung jury.
A more likely favourable outcome would be if the employee sued, but that also assumes the shooter has anything worth taking.

Realistically, only way I see this going anywhere is if the cops and their pet prosecutors think there’s any chance of a conviction. If they decline to bring charges, then it’s likely not going to go much further. If the employee sues, he’ll be the one who ends up on trial for chasing the shoplifter rather than just calling the cops and letting them handle it.

The problem facing the party is those nincompoops vote and they vote in large numbers. 74 million of them showed up just shy of three months ago to reelect the swampiest MFer in US history, then came back two months later at his order to try to keep him in power through a bloody coup. Even if they’re not worried about physical injury or worse, the Old Guard is worried that Trump could cause them all sorts of grief by knocking off incumbents in primary challenges, turning 2022 into a crap shoot against a very determined opposition.

Covid-19 vaccines prevent illness, but do not necessarily prevent infection. If someone tests positive and doesn’t get sick, the vaccine has worked as intended. If someone tests positive within a few weeks of receiving the second dose, it may be because the vaccine hasn’t yet fully kicked in.

If your system is older, it is likely that your FIL doesn’t have one in stock and would have to do that anyway. Save some time and have the item available for installation when the tech arrives. Kind of a win-win.

re: #160 O say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave..
blower went out on our pellet stove a couple of Sundays ago.
We were able to swap in the pellet stove from our shop and used that the two days it took for a new part to be ordered and delivered. Didn’t realize it needed a new gasket, so a trip was made to Auto Zone in the next county for for high heat resistant gasket material and we did a DIY cut (just like the old days doing car repairs!)
Otherwise, easy peasy repair.
Hope yours is just as easy peasy.
re: #189 A hollow voice says NOW drain that swamp!
Rachel had a segment on that yesterday. Apparently, after it’s happened locally, the feds have appealed and judges have said nope — and the perps have found their “own recognizance” revoked and their asses in jail for the duration. As they should be.
But I’m making a little list of places I’ll need a really good reason to visit. If they’ll let these people out on their own recognizance, who knows who else is running around free and awaiting trial?
Apparently none of these nutbars are from the Nebraska Panhandle … Omaha did send one of the Catholic priests who performed an exorcism on the Capitol to overturn voter fraud though.

Straight swapping of the motor doesn’t look to be that big of a deal. I have the blower unit dropped out of the furnace; that was the easy part, two screws and it just slides out. I need to snap a couple of pictures of all the wires to make sure I get them all back on correctly, then unplug/disconnect everything, haul the unit out of the furnace, and then the swap is pretty simple. Unhook the motor, separate it from the blower fan, installation is the reverse of removal.

I remember hating Kathleen Parker in the 1990’s when I first encountered her. She is one of those who contributed to the downfall of public discourse. All she could do is mock and disparage the Clintons, not focusing on thoughtful criticism of his policies. My recollection, which is very shaky, is that she was positively vicious concerning Clinton’s relationship with Monica, treating it as the crime of the year.

As to Qanon beliefs, a significant amount appears to be ancient antisemitic tropes, just refurbed, repackaged and given a snazzy new paint job.

Facebook’s Oversight Board wants your feedback on whether the company was right to ban Trump (The Verge)
oversightboard.secure.force.com (link for the comment form)
Facebook’s Oversight Board, the independent body empowered to review the social network’s most complex platform moderation decisions, is now accepting public comments on the company’s decision to “indefinitely” ban former President Donald Trump in the aftermath of the US Capitol attack on January 6th.
The two posts in question include the one-minute video Trump posted to his account on January 6th repeating false claims that the US election was stolen from him and offering words of sympathy to the Capitol rioters, some of whom were, at that moment, continuing to endanger the lives of Congress members and Capitol police.
The second is a written post in which Trump wrote, “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!”

Docu-Shred Truck Inside Building Catches Fire, All Paper Loaded on the Truck Destroyed (Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald)
(Includes video of a house fire not related to the fire at Docu-Shread in Gering)
Gering and Scottsbluff firefighters spent about four hours battling a fire at a Gering business Thursday and early Friday morning.
Firefighters were called to the Docu-Shred business, located in the 100 block of M Street, at about 10:40 p.m. to a call of heavy smoke coming from a structure, Gering Fire Chief Nathan Flowers told the Star-Herald.
Arriving firefighters observed heavy smoke coming from the eaves and made entry into the business. Flowers said they did a quick knockdown of a fire in the business and were able to determine the source of the fire coming from a truck containing a compactor-shredder.
The fire in the truck continued to burn, he said, and firefighters were able to isolate the truck by removing it from the building. The truck was full of shredded paper, making it difficult to suppress the fire, and all of the paper had to be removed.

re: #131 Targetpractice
The problem facing the party is those nincompoops vote and they vote in large numbers. 74 million of them showed up just shy of three months ago to reelect the swampiest MFer in US history, then came back two months later at his order to try to keep him in power through a bloody coup. Even if they’re not worried about physical injury or worse, the Old Guard is worried that Trump could cause them all sorts of grief by knocking off incumbents in primary challenges, turning 2022 into a crap shoot against a very determined opposition.
It is not those who showed up on January 6 who are the danger to our democracy; it’s the puppet masters behind “Stop the Steal”, who were providing Trump the tools to overturn the election results; it’s those like Cleta Mitchell, the attorney on the infamous call to Brad Raffensperger, who are destroying our country. The true villain is ALEC — and they’ve been planning a coup since February, 2020. It’s a fight to the death: if ALEC survives, our nation will not. Years ago, ALEC destroyed ACORN because ACORN was helping to register minority voters; they will do anything to retain power for the white elite, including being behind widespread voter disenfranchisement. The Arizona Republican introducing legislation to ignore election results is part of this pattern. They failed this time — but the next time we won’t be so lucky.

First of all, Trump was impeached while he was STILL PRESIDENT. It is the trial that is taking place afterwards, not the impeachment. And the 45 who voted to discuss Paul’s motion were not voting that Paul was right; only that they wanted to hear the arguments. But it’s not as though anyone would ever expect Jason Miller to be truthful on any issue. BTW, are his child support payments still in arrears?

This is about him, and the bad shit he did. Usually, he’s excited anything is all about him.
We asked 144 companies if they planned to continue contributing to members of Congress objected to the Electoral College vote.
We’ve now heard back from 85.

Wait! I found a sliding panel in the ceiling! Let’s see what’s in there…
Okay, I got a step ladder and climbed up it and moved the panel. Oh, shit, it’s pitch fucking black. Who knew there was this hidden world under my roof?

2/ Lawmakers say “the threat of criminal prosecution gives rise to certain Constitutional rights that may overcome the duty to disclose otherwise public documents under Arizona’s public records law.”
— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) January 30, 2021
4/ For those asking, generally the 5thA doesn’t apply to documents and it certainly doesn’t apply to documents that are public under state public records law. So the claim is doubly bogus. But they’re trying anyway.

re: #163 No Malarkey!
I replied to John Pavlovitz replying to Ted Cruz. I’m STILL (and WILL BE) pissed off that Ted Cruz tried to disenfranchise my entire state. I’m stunned by all the likes and retweets. I was sitting at my mother’s kitchen table, tapping that out on my phone and thinking, yeah, this is just one of those Tweets to make me feel good, nobody will respond. WRONG.
Yeah, and Ted’s not yet apologized for trying to disenfranchise over three million Arizona voters. Sorry Ted, put a sock in it.

“You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike” is our new normal.
Despite the undeniable fact that POTUS incited a riot to invade the Capitol with the intent to kill members of Congress and to stop the confirmation of votes by the Electoral College, we have countless citizens who believe that it is their right to fight the Federal Government on any level, and if it takes armed rebellion, they are all in.
Some are Congresscritters, but you will never see them pick up a gun, except in campaign ads.

re: #269 jaunte
Any attorney hired by Trump has to know that he likely won’t be paying them. Or did these attorneys think they would be the exception because of the gravity of the charges? So did they resign because they realized that they wouldn’t see any money? Or because they objected to the type of defense he demanded? Or because he insisted on testifying during the trial and they knew he was going to commit perjury?

Facebook’s Oversight Board wants your feedback on whether the company was right to ban Trump (The Verge)
oversightboard.secure.force.com (link for the comment form)
(more)
I submitted a response, basically saying that Trump got away with lying for years because FB wouldn’t do its job and ban him, and as a result, we have “prophets” claiming on FB’s platform that Trump will be reinstalled by God, and that my congressman is STILL on FB even after pushing the Trump Big Lie. I doubt it will go anywhere, but I was ticked off.
He is going to defend himself.
If you’re Trump this is rather a no brainer. With Senate Rs aka the jury on record that impeaching former president is unconstitutional why spend money on lawyers ? https://t.co/VSgLRBoAPg

Arrest these fucks. Nobody gets to interfere with an individual getting medical attention, whether it’s a vaccine or a fucking ace bandage wrap. Not their right. Not their place. Not their goddamned business.
I can’t imagine waiting in line, just to be sent home empty after some fucking moron shouts at you about hoaxes on a virus that has killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Arrest them. Just arrest them. Do we have to activate the National Guard to protect people just to get a fucking shot in the arm? Okay, then do it.
We can’t. The precedent was established with anti-abortion protests outside clinics. It’s allowed free speech. What is illegal is blocking the streets. But yeah, these assholes can stand in public and put up their crap as long as they’re not blocking traffic, impeding the public or other things. The LAPD should have been prepared for this nonsense.

LOL. Olive Loaf was not a thing in our house, actually. The main things were: Kraft Singles, Kraft Mac and Cheese (unless Mom made it from scratch, but she added Velveeta cheese to that), Oscar Meyer hot dogs and bologna, Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise, Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows, Kraft Caramels. Outside of those specific things, and maybe a few Nabisco brands after Kraft acquired them but before they were spun off again, it was fair game.
