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.
The USA is Burning
1,694 responses to “The USA is Burning”
When I moved from one house to another
there were many things I had no room for.
What does one do? I rented a storage
space. And filled it. Years passed.
Occasionally I went there and looked in,
but nothing happened, not a single
twinge of the heart.
As I grew older the things I cared
about grew fewer, but were more
important. So one day I undid the lock
and called the trash man. He took
everything.
I felt like the little donkey when
his burden is finally lifted. Things!
Burn them, burn them! Make a beautiful
fire! More room in your heart for love,
for the trees! For the birds who own
nothing– the reason they can fly.
STORAGE by MARY OLIVER
I came to the shores of America disguised as a pillar
The alpha and omega and the home of the beggars, the black sellers
Who been beaten, raped, lynched, robbed and stoned
And caused to roam the earth in service cause they couldn’t maintain at
Home
This dates back to 1555
When they captured the first tribe of men
And piled them in a pen
Fifty feet high
They took em all on a 9000 mile ride
And landed on the shore of a place they never seen before
But read about this inside the ancient books of war
Bonded in stainless steel, stripped of their language
Still survived the anguish of slavery but still remained nameless
Separated to portions and tricked by John Haughty Hawkins
And sold on the auction, taught birth control and abortion
Rulers of the first part became slaves of the worst part
The devils cursed God and reversed God
And turned God into dog and made people search hard
No relief came to the prophet of W.D. Feraud
To a trauma, dropped our mommas off in Bahamas and Barbados
Tobagos, separated us from slave boats
Made our own brothers hate us
From Virgin Isle to Jamaica
Trinidad, Honduras, Haiti, Grenada
Bermuda to Cayman, mental enslavement.
Pompous Hal Austin and Crazy Well Well, Well Well and Consequences, Well Well Hogging the Blog, WARU or WURA-WAR-ON-YOU (long on the blog unlike Donna),
I understood quite clearly that Lawson was not being literal. I, however was playing on the words. Like a double entendre. It was an easy lay up and hard to resist.
BOTH of you think way too much of yourself. And way too little of everybody else.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
The only time I have referred to WURA or Hal Austin and their marital status is in the context of wondering how two people so “black powerish” ended up married to caucasians. And to wonder about the contradiction of Hal Austin’s life story with respect to his views on multi-culturalism. As I have often stated, I am interested in human minds and how they work, not their private parts and how they do not work.
I don’t care to imagine what’s happening in their bedrooms.
No, no, no! Indeed I do NOT!
YUCK!
Besides, I did not know that marriage was all about sex, so that referring to marriage is the equivalent of referring to what goes on in people’s bedrooms. Does all of marriage take place in the bedroom?????
Steupse!
Cuhdear Bajan,
Yes indeed, I am loooooong divorced. And since we are supposed to be speaking about Trump let me at least use his language-
It was the most TREMENDOUS divorce anybody ever saw! NOBODY ever had a divorce so great in the history of marriage and divorces! Totally a MLGA
(Make life great again) divorce like nobody ever executed! It was a perfect divorce.
He wanted to be the boss. I was having none of it!
And now Wonder Woman may have the last word. Today I contemplate the vicissitudes of life and the death of yet another person who meant something to me and my son.
Sitting Bull never married, just had concubines.
“I understood quite clearly that Lawson was not being literal.”
Lana Lawson was referring to voting Democrat was akin to sucking Slave Massas cock which presumably is lilly white or pink
“The only time I have referred to WURA or Hal Austin and their marital status is in the context of wondering how two people so “black powerish” ended up married to caucasians”
Maybe they are more “white powerish” as they run down the “blacks in power” in barabados like it is going out of style (like white afros)
But I don’t want to start no war so I ain’t saying shit

What relevance is that?
Back to more germane matters.
Looks like it is possible Beijing Bob will be impeached the day after he is sworn in.
They will need to prove HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS … BRIBERY, CORRUPTION.
They have the episode in the Ukraine where he admits to bribing the leaders of Ukraine with the aid due from Obama!!
Also, there is the LAPTOP FROM HELL.
Plenty hard to refute evidence.
If they get him convicted in the Senate he will be removed from office.
Evidence pretty conclusive.
Enter Kamala Harris.
She is on record for inciting insurrections all over the US.
She raised funds to bail out the perpetrators.
She gave them support.
So, since Trump got impeached with no evidence, they should be able to impeach, convict and remove her as well.
Then what?????

I never knew what real happiness was till I got married…..then it was too late
It will be difficult for Kamala Harris to pick a vice president since all of the Democrats are guilty of inciting violence and causing insurrection.
Interesting conundrum!!

https://www.theroot.com/some-capitol-insurgents-were-on-a-terrorist-watch-list-1846066011
“The saga of the attack on the Capitol is far from finished—as is the long-present white supremacist beast that Trump let fully loose in this country.
According to a report from the Washington Post, dozens of the violent racist insurgents who broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6 were already known by the FBI because they were on the bureau’s terrorist watch list.
Officially called the Terrorist Screening Database, the tool is supposed to be used by government agents and police to identify people who could pose danger to the public, and it seems the FBI used it to actually warn some racist extremists ahead of the Capitol attack to not go to D.C., according to what sources told the Post. Must be nice! While some complied, dozens of other white terrorists went to the nation’s capital anyway to cause violence.”

look how far you had to go to come up with that and it’s still a fail..
if the white people who raised you weren’t so damn crazy, ya may have ended up being another Obama.
Ah wonder how you got here, if ya parents didn’t have sex.
as far as i know, that’s what married people do during the course of doing other things.
That actually explains why your’re a divorcee.

Donna is trying to imagine two people she has never met in her life having sex with two people she has no clue if they really exist.
i remember there used to be some professionals on BU but that was about 7 or 8 years ago i they disappeared, Donna and quite a few other need help; can’t remember if any were psychologists, but i know some psychiatrists as well from long time ago, or know professionals who know them, something needs to be done..even if payments have to be cut in half.
Yesterday I saw a headline re Trump leaving the traditional ‘letter to the president’ and I thought that was HILARIOUS…
The article cued on Obama’s letter and pondered WWDD (what would Don Do)…
Now there is LOTS of serious stuff to deal with but in the @Lawson tone can you imagine how ‘happy’ we were before this tenure … and before words possibly like this… 🙈🙃

It is my great honer [honor] to offer you “Congratulations” on becoming President in the phony rigged election that I won. I wish you and your family nothing but the best during this disgraceful period in our Nation’s history.
This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I powerfully don’t know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful…as I did it MY way. But, a few reflections from the past 8 years nonetheless … as YOU did steal four years from me!
First, your wife, by the way, is not a real “doctor.” Many people say that. She seems like a wonderful woman (nice legs) who has said some very nasty things about me. Also Hunter is nasty too. He and his laptop from hell.
But Joe, perhaps we have more in common than you think because just as your eldest son, Beau, was unfairly taken from you under tragic circumstances, the thing most dear to me, the election, was also ripped from me by an even worst cancerous deep state “fraud”.
Second, now regarding this hoax China virus, because you are a Democrat it will “magically disappear.” No lot of work needed … and of course you are inheriting the most powerful economy on Earth with the stock market at record highs and trade and business (before the hoax) soaring. So yes, you’r welcome!
Third, you will face many difficult decisions in the months and years ahead. I had to sort out Iran after you left that terrible nuclear agreement for me, so watch out for them!
And now that Mike Flynn Is pardoned I expect he will give you some more painful advice –free – over next four years. That MBS is really a good fella and I admire how he treats his press enemies … I tried.
And finally try not to be so politically correct and ‘sleepy’ as I will need you to be bold and brave. You see, I intended to pardon myself (Donald J. Trump) and family for any possible crimes: past, present, and future but Cippolone and Justice told me that is unlikely to get approved by the SCOTUS (after all I did for Kavanaug and the others, can you believe that crap) … so Joe I will be relying on your powerful pardon.
Stay strong.
Regards
Donald J. Trump

https://thegrio.com/2021/01/15/trump-chansley-capitol-pardon/
“Photos of Angeli in his horned helmet and facepaint inside the U.S. Capitol Building during last week’s deadly insurrection have been splashed all over websites, newspapers and television.
Also supposedly known as “QAnon Shaman,” Chansley was arrested Saturday and charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, demonstrating in a Capitol building, civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding.
Read More: Leaders work to reverse the damage and tension caused by Trump insurrection
He is still in federal custody.
Now his attorney, Albert Watkins, is urging President Donald Trump to pardon Chansley for his role in the Capitol insurrection.”
All that matters if the articles of impeachment get filed is that the person who files them is a member of congress and there is a seconder who also is a member of congress.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLGlqzGGivY
Impeachment articles need to be PASSED in the House to be of ANY integrity, validity or interest…
Simply filing them is quite irrelevant… unlike the electoral protest filing this is not some type of ‘privilege member’ issue that proceeds WITHOUT a majority vote.
It’s a nonsense, petty action by the congresswoman and a is aimed at the always-on social media, PR self gratification, in sum: she will get lots of attention with her constituent base.
Alas she will also gets lots of attention from her colleagues as a stupid prima-donna and likely she does not maintain a long career in Washington.
But this is what politics in the US has now devolved into: absurd tit-for-tat, political shenanigans from both parties playing to the social gallery extremist elements!

“Federal prosecutors have offered an ominous new assessment of last week’s siege of the US Capitol by Donald Trump’s supporters, saying in a court filing that rioters intended “to capture and assassinate elected officials”.
Prosecutors offered that view in a filing asking a judge to detain Jacob Chansley, the Arizona man and QAnon conspiracy theorist who was photographed wearing horns as he stood at the desk of the vice-president, Mike Pence, in the chamber of the US Senate.

The detention memo, written by justice department lawyers in Arizona, goes into greater detail about the FBI’s investigation into Chansley, revealing that he left a note for Pence warning that “it’s only a matter of time, justice is coming”.
“Strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government,” prosecutors wrote.
A public defender representing Chansley could not be immediately reached for comment. Chansley is due to appear in federal court on Friday.

Prosecutors and federal agents have begun bringing more serious charges tied to violence at the Capitol, including against a retired firefighter, Robert Sanford, that he hurled a fire extinguisher at the head of one police officer and another, Peter Stager, accused of beating a different officer with a pole bearing an American flag.
In Chansley’s case, prosecutors said the charges “involve active participation in an insurrection attempting to violently overthrow the United States government”, and warned that “the insurrection is still in progress” as law enforcement prepares for more demonstrations in Washington and state capitals.
They also suggested he suffered from drug abuse and mental illness, and told the judge he posed a serious flight risk.
“Chansley has spoken openly about his belief that he is an alien, a higher being, and he is here on Earth to ascend to another reality,” they wrote.
The justice department has brought more than 80 criminal cases in connection with the violent riots at the US Capitol last week, in which Trump’s supporters stormed the building, ransacked offices, and in some cases attacked police.

Many of the people charged so far were easily tracked down by the FBI, which has more than 200 suspects, thanks in large part to videos and photos posted on social media.
Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, has said that while many of the initial charges may seem minor, he expects much more serious charges to be filed as the justice department continues its investigation.”

“A Texas woman who flew in a private jet to Washington D.C. to join the pro-Trump riots, and then posted photos and videos of herself in the mob as it stormed the building, was arrested Friday, officials said.
Jennifer Leigh Ryan was tagged in photos on Facebook on Jan. 5 getting on a private jet at a small airport in Texas.
“We’re so excited! DC bound to #StopTheSteal,” wrote a man who tagged Ryan in the photo, referring to the popular Trump-supporter line that claims, without evidence, that President-elect Joe Biden stole the election, federal prosecutors said.
Jennifer Leigh Ryan is pictured in photos she posted to social media accounts during the Capitol riots on January 6.

Ryan then posted many of her own videos onto social media from the private jet, the feds said.
The next day, she made her intentions abundantly clear in a video she posted on Facebook, according to prosecutors.
“We’re gonna go down and storm the capitol,” she said. “They’re down there right now and that’s why we came and so that’s what we are going to do. So wish me luck.”

I am still struggling to understand how I missed the threat posed by this riot/coup.
As the US struggles to save itself/constitution/electoral process the smartest man on BU sees it as a
freedomm of speech issue.
Is it possible that he does not realize the gravity of the situation.
The USA as I know it could have been changed forever in just a few hours.
As some has pointed out, much of trimp’s effort were to disqualify black voters.
Given the racist views of many rioters, this would probably would have taken us back to a periods where blacks do not have a vote
The riots would have achieved the same thing as if Trump won a second term in the 2020 election.
The world had a close one but Jah put an angel over it
@Theo you are sparking deep debate with the remark : “The USA as I know it could have been changed forever in just a few hours.[…] Given the racist views of many rioters, this would probably would have taken us back to a periods where blacks do not have a vote.”
1.The existential change of which you muse has already systematically been taking place …
But beyond that, if those pipe bombs had exploded or rioters had been able to encounter the elected folks and commit heinous acts yes that would have been a stark change generally unknown within the US. However, the nation has been down thos road before… let us NOT forget eras of rampant MaCatthyism as one example and the violent struggles in the streets of the 60s too.
Now, have such taken place I expect the same Mitch McConnel, James Lankford or Graham or Cruz and Hawley who ridiculously supported the attempted coup would have promptly acted sagely with Democrats to bring things under full control..
2.Despite that tsunami shock the nation would have suffered the US would heal (will heal) and there is absolutely no going back on voting privileges for Blacks.
It is about commonsense and practical action to prevent the voter suppression tactics used year after year by Republicans to disenfranchise Blacks … that will not be taken away by these stupid racists taunts and threats.
All that said, the US after electing a Black man as POTUS and now its first female, and Black too, as VP has changed deeply and lots of folks DO NOT LIKE THAT… there is a blow-back so we better be aware of that and get ourselves out of our comfort zones !
It’s very tribal out there !
“The riots would have achieved the same thing as if Trump won a second term in the 2020 election.”
I agree fully. The riots were meant to achieve what trimp could not do in a general election.
He tried everything
