As the blogmaster is typing he is witnessing a scene in the US Capitol akin to what is associated in countries often described as banana republics. It is impossible to find the words to accurately describe events which have caused the ceremonial event of the Electoral College to be suspended as members scatter to preserve life and limb.

  1. I think CA was predicting protests today.
    CA, correct me if I am wrong.

    I think CA’s gang figured out that 20,000 armed men is a tougher chew than senators and congressmen.


  2. Dullard do not be a simpleton.

    @ Blogmaster
    I was being deliberately provocative. That should be obvious.

    Isn’t the world a perfect place now that the Big Bad Wolf is gone?

    @Mr Passive Aggressive
    Hal is right about you.


  3. Rush was saying the inauguration reminded him of the Chinese Olympics with the 200,000 flags.

    Difference was no people because none would or could come.

    Another tell tale sign … 80 million people voted for Biden and none came!!


  4. The comment/question seem dismissive and to make a mockery of the struggle.

    It will take more than one event to correct this country, but an advance should not be sneered at.


  5. Some of us are living in the furnace. It is not a sterile debate. For us, actions can have serious consequences.

    Two years ago, I was house hunting in Florida but as the political landscape was changing for the worse I had to include Barbados and Trinidad.

    I am hoping that the election of Biden will give us a reset/restart. My hope would be for the eradication of racism, but I know that will not be the case and this would take some time.

    But the election of Biden refreshes my spirit. With good leadership we may be able to right the good ship USA and get it back on course.


  6. @ Dullard

    The big question is why should the election of Biden have any effect on the high number of black people, in particular men, who are incarcerated.
    Biden has form, with his 1994 Crime Act, Harris has form as attorney general of California, and the huge number of black prisoners grew under Bill Clinton.
    I see your question as a very serious one. Nothing about eradicating racism, but one of fairness and equality. Remember, the number of police who tried to invade the Capitol Building on January 6?
    Instead of sneering and sniping from the side lines, let us have a serious discussion.


  7. Only just got around to finish reading this, unbelievable, when ya thought it couldn’t get any worse…Prince Donald did fire the bat signal and got his own ass out of there, now all the emptyheaded dummies will go to prison.

    “Tomorrow, Trump and We The People will be betrayed again by every so called representative who said they’d fight for us. … Trump just needs to fire the bat signal … deputize patriots… and then the pain comes. 1 Million Pissed off men with guns … bad idea.”

    In the aftermath of the riot, Fisher wrote, according to prosecutors, “It was awesome. It was dangerous and violent. People died, but it was f—ing great if you ask me. Seeing cops literally run . . . was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

    Fisher, who fancies himself a pickup artist, operates a website devoted to attracting women and wealth and hawking a $250 program called Attraction Accelerator.”


  8. Looks like election audit in Arizona will occur


  9. Cheney in trouble as are all Republicans who voted to impeach Trump now that the incitement claim seems to be bogus..


  10. Drones don’t kill people

    People kill people

    Hal has never learned the art of observing without adding or subtracting and could never be a Shaolin Monk

    he is a fuckwit



  11. The Capitol hero found something much better to do with his time.

    “The hero police officer who steered an angry mob from the Senate floor during the U.S. Capitol rioting was honored Wednesday with a key role in the inauguration of President Joe Biden.

    Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman escorted Vice President Kamala Harris into the building where she and Biden were inaugurated just two weeks after Goodman’s heroics against a violent mob.”

    I said no such thing about protests. I said people got the word out to the Trump supporters that anybody advertising protest were Antifa types trying to mislead the ones not familiar with protests.

    I also said all the troops were there to hide the fact Biden cannot pull not even half a crowd of supporters despite getting 80 million votes in the election. If not for the troops, his inauguration would have been a ghost town.

    I give it a month before we start making jokes about Biden not holding any live press conferences or fielding any unprepared questions like Trump used to take and another year before they invoke the 25th amendment and swear Harris in as president.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Rush reckons it is happening even quicker than that!!

    Politico already running an article on the cognitive dissonance of Joe Biden.

    Tomorrow may see impeachment articles filed to remove Biden from office.

    Maybe they will not need the 25th amendment depending on how quick they want him gone!!


  15. Hal you are right Kamala called biden an out and out racist during the dem debates either she was lying which makes her sleazy or its true. Dont expect any big difference from the new administration , hispanics will be taking over soon they will pander to them.
    Does anybody really think he was leading the people away????? Human nature is flight or fight, and looking at the odds I know what I would be doing..


  16. https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2021/01/20/now-they-tell-us-politico-on-bidens-cognitive-decline/

    It would appear it will be just a matter of time before he is gone!!


  17. I think Mitch in trouble too if it is a fact that the narrative that Trump incited violence is bogus and he and Pelosi are the more likely culprits!!


  18. Worth a listen


  19. Haha
    Here you come again.. huffing and puffing to blow the house down. With his little snarky phrases to start a fight.
    The fool does not realized he was summoned,

    For the last time, you have your opinion and I have mine. Put your aggressive-aggresive self to bed.


  20. The guy is an idiot.
    Rolling from fight to fight and trying to get the last word in.

    Tough little Londoner.


  21. @ critical,
    I will search for the exact phrase, but in it you mentioned the number 20,000.
    That is the phrase I am referring to.


  22. Trump supporting Police are now deemed extremists and won’t get far in their careers.
    Which is a big win as they are the same racist police that discriminate against blacks.
    Dumb racists are now saying that the riots were a set up and dumb ass John believes it all.
    God works in mysterious ways, the Trumpnuts strength was their weakness.
    And, they all fall down.


  23. @CA

    He got 80 million votes didn’t he? Let us leave frivolous arguments behind.

    … and that’s why there were 200,000 flags watching the inauguration and listening to Lady GaGa!!


  25. I misquoted you ‘slightly’, but you were suggesting some trouble today.

    @555dubstreet January 18, 2021 12:37 PM

    No, I am not an American nor have I visited there in donkey years. But I am sure I would have been able to vote if I had in one of the previous contested states at the time of the election. I am an armchair analyst sitting in the supposedly safe rocking chair in Barbados.

    If you are in America, I would suggest you head to your supermarket now to stock up on food, fill your gas tank and buy batteries, lanterns, radio and other supplies and stay home for the next 3 or 4 days just like if a major hurricane was coming tomorrow or Wednesday. Nobody deploys 20,000 troops unless they expecting major trouble.

    Like
    TheOGazerts January 18, 2021 3:45 PM

    Not really running out to stock up on anything.

    I suspect that with 20,000 troops you will not see a repeat of past behavior.

    The last riot made it clear that there was a double standard in how people are treated. If nonsense is tried on Wednesday, the double standard may not be that obvious this time.

    There was to be a protest somewhere on Sunday and just one guy turned up.


  26. I do believe my friend thinks that he is rumpelstiltskin or can turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse.

    How can he take this
    “Now that Trump is gone Black folk in the US can all celebrate because there will be no more mass incarceration…Right?!”
    and arrive at this
    “The big question is why should the election of Biden have any effect on the high number of black people, in particular men, who are incarcerated.
    Biden has form, with his 1994 Crime Act, Harris has form as attorney general of California, and the huge number of black prisoners grew under Bill Clinton.”

    Biden and Harris happen to have a history that aligns the comment, but If this was any other pair of democrats, it is possible the original comment would have been made. He saw it as reference to B&H, I saw it as supporting and longing for trimp.

    “I see your question as a very serious one. Nothing about eradicating racism, but one of fairness and equality. ”
    So because you say it is serious, I must take it serious?

    And then you add the idiotic statement
    “Nothing about eradicating racism, but one of fairness and equality. ”
    So pray tell me, isn’t racism about unfairness or and inequality. What sis should the coin come down on.

    Fool, go and huff and puff and impress your friends. Serious discussion what. You seem to think adding the word serious and debate elevates your tripe to another level. Go play with your friends. You irritate and bore me.

  28. Over the last two plus months John has been consistent
    as the least right
    and the most wrong
    and he tries the hardest
    others just sit back and win
    while John loses with bad logic
    extrapolating and building from false premises
    truth is out there like x files
    you just got to learn recognise it
    it comes intuitively to those that always speak it
    and has a vibration that rings loudly to those with ears

    there are heaps of lessons in the above for lying toads like John
    who rummages through right wing shit like a fiend and an addict

    now where is the all bombshell declassified shit
    John and CA were creaming their panties over
    did Trump take it all on a hard drive
    all the data captured by US spies
    does he know everyones secrets


  29. Gasshopper

    The purpose of the 25,000 troops is to create the illusion that violence is imminent and so smooth the pathway to draconian measures.

    The Democrat’s problem is that 90% of the National Guard is white so they are scared of white supremacists in the ranks.

    The FBI spent days screening each and every one!!!

    The Democrats also don’t trust the police who they have spent all last year berating and looking to defund so they also have to hire security firms with armed force.

    After all the police appeared in some videos to have let the protesters in on the 6th!!

    The Biden/Harris regime is not stable.

    The Democrats are also scared shitless of Donald Trump.

    Then there is the issue of the 75 million and growing Republicans who don’t believe the election was legitimate.

    Somebody is liable to catch a heart attack.


  30. Then there is tomorrow when impeachment articles are expected to be filed against Biden in the House.

    Greatest show on earth.


  31. You have gotten all your predictions wrong.

    Is the quality of our potable water good?


  32. Nathan “Nearest” Green (c. 1820 – ?), incorrectly spelled “Nearis” in an 1880 census,[1] was a black head stiller, commonly referred to now as a master distiller. Born into slavery and emancipated after the Civil War, he is known as the master distiller who taught distilling techniques to Jack Daniel, founder of the Jack Daniel Tennessee whiskey distillery. Green was hired as the first master distiller for Jack Daniel Distillery,[2] and he was the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States


  33. The crying rioters, what a hoot.


  34. David,

    Time to shut this ASSylum down! The Turd is flushed! No need for floaters like John Knoxious and Shittical Analyzer to stink up the place.

    They are like the nasty ones who left their waste in the Capitol.

    Today was like a breath of fresh air. But now these two stink farts are polluting the atmosphere.

    Depending on what the audit of the Dominion machines turns up, other states may follow.
