Powells Books under attack for selling a doubleplusungood book

Andy Ngo wrote a book about Antifa and they are not happy about it, so much so they actually went to Powells books in Portland and forced it shut. Customers were secreted outside via the back door while the goons were at the front being fascists.

I watched the video below and I did not wanted to believe that the little imbecile at 3:10 actually defended Mein Kampf because it was historic and not bad compared to Ngo’s book which she called “active facism.”

You cannot make this stuff up unless you have been chugging on peyote for a week and staring into the sun for 12 hours in the Gobi Desert.

A reporter asked the million dollar question

Genevieve Reaume, a reporter with KATU, asked Ted Wheeler the million-dollar question:

It is a great question.  It is a question that should be asked a lot.

Is Ted Wheeler to blame?  Yes, partly.

We cannot have a country in which our laws and their enforcement is bifurcated, where political violence is condoned on one side but not on another.

Genevieve Reaume hit the nail on the head and I’d say she really deserves another Emmy for this (if it weren’t tarnished by having been given to Cuomo).

Lindsey Graham has a moment of clarity

This thread (unrolled):

Supporting the impeachment of President Trump under these circumstances will do great damage to the institutions of government and could invite further violence at a time the President is calling for calm.

If there was a time for America’s political leaders to bend a knee and ask for God’s counsel and guidance, it is now. The most important thing for leaders to do in times of crisis is to make things better, not worse.

The process being used in the House to impeach President Trump is an affront to any concept of due process and will further divide the country.

The President, who will be leaving office in less than a week, has committed to an orderly transfer of power, encouraging calm and rejecting violence.

The House impeachment process seeks to legitimize a snap impeachment totally void of due process. No hearings. No witnesses. It is a rushed process that, over time, will become a threat to future presidents.

As to Senate leadership, I fear they are making the problem worse, not better.

The last thing the country needs is an impeachment trial of a president who is leaving office in one week.

Democrats have already impeached the President once over a matter which was not worthy of that process.

Now they seek to do it again, believing that this effort will wash for history the fact that the first impeachment was based on the thinnest of pretenses: a phone call with the leader of Ukraine.
Impeachment should never be a ‘do-over,’ but that is what Democrats are seeking to do today.

To my Republican colleagues who legitimize this process, you are doing great damage not only to the country, the future of the presidency, but also to the party.

The millions who have supported President Trump and his agenda should not be demonized because of the despicable actions of a seditious mob.
The individuals who participated in the storming of the Capitol should be met with the full force of the law. They should and will be held accountable.

 

Every word of that is correct.

They need to listen to Graham on this one, he’s absolutely right.

Newsom defends California business climate, says richest ‘doing pretty damn well’

Gov. Gavin Newsom forcefully pushed back Friday on criticisms that California is becoming unfriendly for business, pointing to “all the new billionaires” created by initial public offerings and noting that its richest people are “doing pretty damn well.”

Who cares if the middle-class is dying and running away, the tech millionaires are becoming billionaires and the tech billionaires are breaking records, and that’s all that matters.

Biden team plans inauguration night celebrity TV special

President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural committee is producing a television special for the night of his inauguration next week in lieu of the normal in-person festivities, an official familiar with the plans told POLITICO.

The prime-time event will air on broadcast channels ABC, CBS and NBC but not Fox. Cable news networks CNN and MSNBC will carry it live. Fox News will not.

The 90-minute program, hosted by Tom Hanks and beginning at 8:30 p.m., will include performances by Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, Ant Clemons and Jon Bon Jovi. Besides the celebrities, the program, dubbed “Celebrating America,” will “spotlight American heroes,” according to a description of the event.

Biden’s inauguration celebration will be a gaudy, star-studded event, on par with the Oscars.

Lastly:

$2,000 Stimulus Checks Expected to Be in Joe Biden’s Emerging Relief Plan

That’s what we have to look forward to, bread and circuses.  An economy that only works for the richest of the rich while the rest of us get the occasional stimulus check and the privilege of watching politicians and celebrities hobnob on television.

Having exhausted 1984 and Brave New World, the Left has turned to The Hunger Games for inspiration.

AOC has her own accusations to unseat Republicans

This is a sequel to Miguel’s post How do you stop the possibility of Filibuster in the House?

Why AOC says she didn’t feel safe around her colleagues during Capitol riot

When angry supporters of President Donald Trump, many armed, stormed the Capitol last Wednesday, the congresswoman said she “had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die,” though she didn’t detail the incident, citing security reasons.

“All of these thoughts come rushing to you,” she said. “I did not know if I was going to make it to the end of the day — and not just in a general sense but also in a very, very specific sense.”

Some members of Congress huddled in “a secure extraction point,” but Ocasio-Cortez said she didn’t feel safe joining because “QAnon and white supremacist sympathizers, and frankly white supremacist members of Congress in that extraction point, who I know, and who I had felt would disclose my location… who would create opportunities to allow me to be hurt, kidnapped.”

“I didn’t even feel safe around other members of Congress, and to be kind of fending for yourself in that way is traumatizing,” she said.

She is accusing other members of Congress of being white supremacists and saying that they would deliberately allow her be be harmed by the mob.

That is a very serious accusation.

AOC Slams Republicans for Playing Victim While Posting Images With Guns Next to Dems

Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has criticized Republicans in Congress for complaining about the new House metal detectors, noting that at least one Republican has previously posted an image of themselves holding a gun next to Democrats.

“It’s almost as though GOP members promoting videos of themselves illegally carrying firearms on Capitol grounds, posting images of themselves holding guns next to Democratic members, & inciting an attack on the Capitol has consequences! Naturally, GOP are crying & playing victim,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday.

Not illegally carrying guns.  Members of Congress can carry in the Capitol.  It is a special privilege they enjoy.

Also, if anyone is as expert at playing the victim, it’s AOC.

The Democrats are pissed as shit that they lost seats in the House.

They are going to try and even the score by ejecting House Republicans.

From there they could do a lot while States scramble to hold special elections and fill vacancies.

AOC saying that she’s scared of gun carrying Republicans who were going to hand her over to a mob is something they can use to oust members of Congress .

They are going nuclear.

How did America come apart?  First slowly, then all at once.
