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 difference is the 60 million plus has become 75 million plus and is growing!!
Trump taught the Republicans how to fight and more importantly when to fight.
If you like, Trump follows on from Regan.
He is perhaps 5X stronger.
Whoever follows on from him if not he himself is going to be 10X stronger.
Trump has forced the left into the open and exposed the weaker vessels in his own party.
He, or whoever follows him will have a turkey shoot!!
@ Quaker John
Here you go again prevaricating, dancing around the issues and misinterpreting or misunderstanding what is being said. If Trump’s 75m supporters continue without him and give their backing to a new Messiah, then that is what is normally called Trumpism without Trump. It is like Marxism without Marx.
I am sure you understand. I have never met a Bajan who did not understand basic reasoning.
John January 19, 2021 8:37 AM #: “I see you are learning to count, my time has not been wasted. Now, all you need to do is to realise that in 2 days there will in all probability be impeachment articles filed on Biden in the House.… and there is alot of information declassified!!”
You’ve actually wasted your time. Learnt to count from watching ‘Sesame Street.’
I’m not as knowledgeable as you are on the subject of U.S politics, so, bear with me for a few minutes.
Based on what I’ve read, the impeachment process begins in the House of Representatives, where any member may make a suggestion to launch an impeachment proceeding. It is then up to the speaker of the House, as leader of the majority party, to determine whether or not to proceed with an inquiry into the alleged wrongdoing. The vote requires a simple majority vote, which is 50% plus one (218), after which the president is impeached.
If you examined the votes that were cast in the House for Trump’s 2nd impeachment, at total of 232 (222 Democrats and 10 Republicans) voted in favour of, while 197 Republicans only, voted against. I understand 4 Republicans did not or were unable to vote.
Let’s assume, according to you, impeachment articles are filed on Biden in the House 2 days after he officially becomes president.
Assuming House members will obviously vote along party lines, if you totaled the Republican votes, 197+10+4 = 211. Biden will start with 222 votes, which is more than the 218 needed to initiate the impeachment process. What you have to hope for, is a few Democrats siding with the Republicans.
But, Biden is the new president and what are the chances of Democrats jeopardizing his tenure even before it actually begins?
However, knowing you, you will want to present outrageous, hypothetical ‘what-if’ scenarios to convince yourself, and probably Critical Analyzer, the Democratic will vote to impeach Biden.
Let’s say for ‘argument’s sake,’ the process goes to the Senate. I’m sure you’re aware that after 12 noon, January 20, the Democrats will officially have the Senate majority and control both the executive and legislative branches for the first time since 2011. And, remember, with all the information available relative to the Trump’s first impeachment, a Republican controlled Senate acquitted him.
I’ve also noticed that you and Critical Analyzer have been ‘making a song and dance’ about Trump declassifying information.
What he should do is DECLASSIFY ALL the INFORMATION relating to the phone call between him and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25, 2019, during which it was alleged he wanted to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election bid, by influencing the Ukraine into investigating Biden.

No comparison!!
Marx brought new theories.
The USSR which was founded on Marxism is no more, Regan destroyed it!!
Marxism did not however die … China!!
Trump has exposed China as the enemy of the west.
He, or whoever follows him has a job to do!!
It isn’t going to be long.
China is inherently unstable just as the USSR was.
Trump hasn’t brought any new theories, he is using tried and tested foundational principles.
America is divided into two unequal parts.
One part bases its existence on the tried and tested foundational principles of the Nation.
Trump and the 75 million plus and growing are part of this.
The opposition is a minority as evidenced by the fraudulent elections and phantoms and zombies.
The only group of people identifiable with the opposition is ANTIFA/BLM.
They are in a minority and are weak.
As one part grows stronger the other part must grow weaker, or try by any means available to stop the growth in strength of the other.
There won’t be a civil war because as Buddy Brown says that would mean two equal adversaries need to be present.
This morning Psycho Joe Scarborough nearly fell out of his chair laughing at the various moving dates that fools like John Knox have seen come and go.
He called it the “POLITICAL RAPTURE”. America’s biggest fools looking up in the sky waiting for some Kraken to come and take them to an alternative universe where that big, ugly, diseased pig will rule forever and they will keep their knees on the necks of black people while nonchalanting looking into the cameras with a smile on their faces and their hands in their pockets.
But after the Trumpet sounded no Kraken appeared. Not on December 8th nor on December 14th, not on January 6th. Not on any of the other dates the fools gazed into the sky singing, “Come thou long expected Kraken!”
Not on the dates the elections results were supposed to be rejected in “contested states”. The election results were duly certified in every state. Not on the date when the certified election results were supposed to be disregarded . The certified election results were accepted and electoral college votes were duly cast for Joe Biden. Not on the day the electoral college votes were supposed to be set aside. They were duly counted and Joe Biden was declared the winner.
No contingent election! No NOTHING!
Now the date is January 21st. Some impeachment filing that does not have the numbers to move it.
“MALARKEY!”
As Artax reminded, in the movie CLASH OF THE TITANS, the Kraken was turned to stone just as soon as it arrived on the scene.
So the poor fools got one thing right – the name of their champion fits perfectly!
@Artax, kudos you took some time to detail the absolute fantastical BS representative Greene (and all those like @John) are proposing re a Biden impeachment.
This has been reasoned to him previously but he simply repeats right wing verbiage as if that alone makes it valid.
The impeachment is a NONSENSE … and as you note quite obviously there will be Republicans who will vote AGAINST the resolution as it makes NO SENSE at this point.
Oh, we need not despair…. for every declassified item from DJT there will be 2 more in next several months that will blow us away. You speak of the Ukraine call but wait until we get the full gist of how Giuliani was parading over there and assaulting US policy to get ambassadors fired (based on lies) and so on!
Then there is the malfeasance Grenfell carried out during his stint as DNI and much, much more …
It was VITALLY important that Dems won as they did in order to get full investigatory insight … people like John and CA are going to rue their constant refrain about “declassifying”.
By mid year I can forsee that they will be on these pages berating Biden for too much prying and investigation of the Trump bayou!
@John, its distressing when people like you take verbal flight and spread your illogic far and wide.
It’s fallacious BS to argue that “Trump came and found 60 million plus who believed in MAGA, Drain the Swamp, Build the wall.[…] He merely articulated the principles… That number has grown to 75 million plus in 4 years.”
By that SAME reasoning the voice of reason and dismissal of LIES and NEW CESSPOOLS has grown from 65 million to 80 million.
So let’s accept that the deep divide of US (and world politics) has NOT gone to your side … ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Logic doesnt take sides guy … its solid or its BS.
I gone.
John Knox said polls mean nothing but just last week he posted that the Gall Up poll had declared Donald Trump the most admired man of 2020.
Sooo…the Gall Up poll just came in with the same Donald Trump with an approval rating of 34% – the lowest of any president in history!
Those figures represent the hardcore racists ONLY. We always gave him them. They are immovable.
That darn insurrection! Shucks!

@ Quaker John
Am I wrong in assuming that Marx drew on a long line of thinkers before him, including Hegel? Did Marx bring a new theory, or a new interpretation? Is Marxist philosophy and economics still taught in our universities?
Did Reaganism draw on any existing theories?

What kind of ‘fallaciously specious’ reasoning is that to justify the fall of your idol from grace and political defeat?
It is precisely because of perceived weaknesses (or inequalities) in the adversary that wars are started by jingoistic parties.
Why initiate action in a ‘zero-sum game’ call war when there is the ‘greater’ probability of losing?
Why do you think America under a jingoistic Trump regime would think much more than twice before militarily attacking China (or even North Korea) but would merely revert to a war of words even if behind the veil of big-stick diplomacy disguised as a war over ‘free’ trade?
Why do you think America would never wage war against countries possessing nuclear weapons?
Why do you think Pakistan would never attack India under any cloak of ‘religious’ jihad?
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour was indeed an outlier in the history of military conflict. So too was 9/11.
So Hal
You got it yet?
The 75 million and growing of which Trump happens to be a member is the old order, steeped in tried and tested foundational principles.
ANTIFA/BLM, the Democrats and the Media are the Marxists seeking to overthrow the established order.
They are in a minority but used their propaganda arm, the media as a fog horn.
Just a matter of time now.

I have worked out that a lot of your posts are just meant to tease; but a lot of it exposes your critical limitations. As I have said before, you are not as bright as you think you are, which is fine. None of us as as clever as we think we are.
What worries me is the criteria on which a 19 yr old obtains a Barbados Scholarship. How do you define aa Marxist? Can one become a Marxist by accident? Plse give three defining features of Marxism.
BTW @John, the indicators that DJT is the most awesome bayou (special flavor of swamp) creature is clear based on the evidence of WHO is pardoned and HOW he pardoned them; how he has installed his own “deep state” cronies into the US civil service (like that lawyer at NSA @David referenced ) and more.
Your boy pardoned the governor of Illinois, Blogoavich(?) and is considering the same for Shelly Silver from NY (former speaker)… both these guys were convicted for taking bribes for political favors… and how did they get THEIR pardons ..by allegedly bribing DJT middlemen!

Continuing the count down
T-23 (hours)
Uh-oh! Mitch McConnell says on Senate floor that the rioters were “fed lies and provoked by President Trump”.
That goes into the record of the Senate.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday pointedly blamed President Trump for having “provoked” the violent mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
His remarks on the Senate floor came shortly before President-elect Joe Biden was scheduled to head to Washington after a farewell event in Wilmington, Del., where he has been conducting his transition. On the final full day of his White House tenure, President Trump is expected to release a video and could issue scores of pardons.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/19/inauguration-biden-trump-live-updates/
So, after McConnell rake Trump over the coals is he going to call him a RINO too? McConnell is trying to distance the Republican Party from Trump.

“WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s time in the White House will come to an end Wednesday, but his influence – for better or worse – will continue to shape politics in Washington and the rest of the nation far beyond his four years in office.”
So if you like to call what’s contained in the article “Trumpism” then it seems its author reckons it will continue beyond the four years he spent in office.

You know I’ve ‘said’ on several occasions John is ‘purposely provocative.’
I’m sure you would’ve noticed whenever anyone presents another perspective of a point he brings, rather than defend it, he’ll quickly move on to another point.
And, if you challenge or ask him any questions relating to any of his contributions, he usually creates his own questions and answers them accordingly. He would also focus his attention primarily on areas of the topic with which he feels comfortable.
At least, he’s consistently wrong.
Let’s hope Joe Biden keeps his word, he did say he’ll reverse much of the racial damage to African people in the US that he himself on hindsight said he is responsible for….we will see..

Trump Administration’s ‘1776 Report’ Justifies Slavery, Three-Fifths Compromise

Trump Administration’s ‘1776 Report’ Justifies Slavery, Three-Fifths Compromise
The report excuses America’s founders for owning slaves and defends the racist Three-Fifths Compromise as necessary to form a “durable union.”
By Sarah Ruiz-Grossman
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, only two days before President Donald Trump leaves office, the Trump administration released a report from its “1776 Commission” that excuses slavery, justifies the racist Three-fifths Compromise and rails against socialism and “identity politics.”
The “1776 Commission” — formed by Trump in September in direct response to The New York Times’ 1619 Project on America’s deep roots in slavery and racial injustice — released a report Monday that was meant to provide a “definitive chronicle of the American founding.”
The 45-page report reads in places like a right-wing manifesto: It makes excuses for slavery and the Three-fifths Compromise that declared slaves counted as less than full humans. It decries socialism and “identity politics,” celebrates the right to bear arms and calls the anti-abortion movement one of the nation’s “great reforms.”
The report notably defends the country’s Founding Fathers, who owned slaves, arguing that slavery was not “a uniquely American evil” and urging that “the institution be seen in a much broader perspective.”
The report goes on to justify the Three-fifths Compromise — in which white lawmakers from Northern and Southern states in 1787 agreed to count Black people as three-fifths of a person for congressional representation — saying that this was “just that: compromises,” and that, “as a question of practical politics, no durable union could have been formed without a compromise among the states on the issue of slavery.”
Historian and slavery scholar Daina Ramey Berry said the report “advocates teaching a narrow ‘patriotic’ history” of America and aims to “muzzle those who seek to teach a full and accurate history of America, including journalists of The New York Times’ 1619 Project.”
“From a historian’s vantage point, the report cannot be taken as a solid piece of historical work: It seeks to justify slavery and its damaging aftermath in order to indoctrinate yet another generation of American students,” Ramey Berry, chair of the history department at the University of Texas at Austin, told HuffPost.
“The last four years, underscored by the last few weeks, have demonstrated how fragile our embrace of truth can be and the consequences of purposeful disinformation,” she added.
So this Commission releases a report on #MLKDay2021 says that educating us that many of our Founding Fathers enslaved human beings is MORE damaging than THE FACT that many of the Founders enslaved human beings #TrumpLogic

The Trump commission’s report says that the current political divisions among Americans “call to mind” those “between the Confederate and Union forces in the Civil War” — a war that was fought over slavery. It goes on to tout the right to bear arms, saying “an armed people is a people capable of defending their liberty no less than their lives and is the last, desperate check against the worst tyranny.”
Earlier this month, Trump incited an armed mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol, where lawmakers were voting to certify the results of the presidential election, which Trump lost and yet repeatedly lied about it being fraudulent. A week later, the Democratic-led House of Representatives impeached Trump for inciting an insurrection — making him the only president to ever be impeached twice.
Trump’s 1776 Commission report, which includes several photos of Martin Luther King Jr., criticizes affirmative action, calling it “preferential treatment,” and says today’s “identity politics” are “the opposite of King’s hope that his children would ‘live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin.’”
Just days earlier, Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., shared a clip of the civil rights icon on Twitter in which King skewers America for freeing Black slaves in 1863, then giving them no land or resources to get started on, all while giving away land to white settlers.
“When white Americans tell the Negro to lift himself by his own bootstraps, they don’t look over the legacy of slavery and segregation,” King says in the clip. “It’s a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps.”
The Trump commission’s report also rails against socialism as leading people down a “dangerous path” of wealth redistribution and cites “anti-Communism” and “the Pro-Life Movement” — or anti-abortion movement — as some of the “great reforms” of the country’s history.
It concludes that universities are “hotbeds of anti-Americanism, libel and censorship,” and warns against any teaching that “shames Americans by highlighting only the sins of their ancestors and teaches claims of systemic racism.” It also recommends K-12 schools “reject any curriculum” that demeans “America’s heritage.”
The administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who take office on Wednesday — when Harris becomes the first Black, first Asian American and first female vice president — will likely do nothing with the report. The incoming administration has repeatedly committed to “root out systemic racism.”

A Roots and culture perspective that most can identify with….nearly 20 years ago i did a course that dictated that the US Constitution must be read and digested, was shocked to see the 3/5 human law related to African people, was even more shocked to find out last year that it still exists in the Constitution 20 years later and never moved, the shock was less when i learned in 2012 that Mississippi still had slavery on its statute books as legal and only ratified the abolition in 2013.
“Trump Administration Releases 1776 Commission Report on MLK Day. Spoiler Alert: It’s Racist AF
Zack Linly
Today 11:30AM
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I wrote a piece that celebrates King’s legacy and highlights the work that still needs to be done around racial justice and equality. Other writers did the same because that’s generally what writers do to commemorate the holiday—unless you’re a writer for the Trump administration.
It’s clear that President-reject Donald Trump intends to use his presidential platform to promote unabashed white nationalism until his very last day in office. We already knew this, but to solidify that white supremacist legacy—his only real legacy as president and in general—his administration chose MLK Day to release a report from its 1776 Commission. Surprising to nobody Black, the newly released report excuses slavery and the Three-Fifths Compromise as necessary to make America great the first time around.
For those who aren’t familiar with the 1776 Commission, it’s Trump’s ode to white fragility, which he announced last September as a response to Nikole Hannah-Jones’ The 1619 Project, which was published in the New York Times in 2019 and earned her a Pulitzer Prize for her lead essay. The 1619 Project was praised by many historians but decried by white conservatives who got their star-spangled pantaloons all in a bunch over a Black journalist presenting a version of American history that didn’t center whiteness.
“For 400 years, we have been told that black people are a problem. We are indoctrinated into this…
Trump—your favorite neo-Nazi’s favorite neo-Nazi—got so full of his own Tang-flavored white tears that he threatened to withhold funding from any institution of learning that included the project in its curriculum, all while pushing his love letter to white power as curricula for schools across the nation, because, for whatever reason, he didn’t think the version of American history already taught in schools was white-centric enough.
So the 1776 Commission report for racists who think The Birth of a Nation gets a bad rap and is actually great American cinema is 45 pages long. (I can’t help but think that releasing 45 pages of white supremacy is an intentional way of celebrating the 45th president.) You’re welcome to read the whole thing on your own time—you’re also welcome to glue your eyeballs to a radiator and crank the heat up until the nob breaks off—but I’m going to give you the highlights starting with the commission’s thoughts on slavery.
From the report:
The most common charge levelled against the founders, and hence against our country itself, is that they were hypocrites who didn’t believe in their stated principles, and therefore the country they built rests on a lie. This charge is untrue, and has done enormous damage, especially in recent years, with a devastating effect on our civic unity and social fabric. Many Americans labor under the illusion that slavery was somehow a uniquely American evil. It is essential to insist at the outset that the institution be seen in a much broader perspective. It is very hard for people brought up in the comforts of modern America, in a time in which the idea that all human beings have inviolable rights and inherent dignity is almost taken for granted, to imagine the cruelties and enormities that were endemic in earlier times. But the unfortunate fact is that the institution of slavery has been more the rule than the exception throughout human history.
I know what you’re thinking: Those were a lot of words just to say, “Oh come on, everybody does the slavery thing!” The segment of the report for people who are running out of closet space for their growing noose collection goes on to talk about how some Founding Fathers owned slaves, but it’s cool because they also publicly denounced slavery. Obviously, it’s OK for me to let my dog shit on everyone’s lawn as long as I take a pro-pooper-scooper stance while doing it. Seriously, the report talked about how George Washington owned slaves but came to dislike slavery later in life and had freed all of his slaves by the time he died—as if he’s honorable for not taking his slaves with him to the afterlife because, shit, somebody has to pick his cotton in Hell.
The report goes on to justify the Three-fifths Compromise—a standard that lawmakers agreed on in 1787 that basically said Black people are human beings, but only a little bit—by stating that “as a question of practical politics, no durable union could have been formed without a compromise among the states on the issue of slavery.” In other words: Millions of Black humans suffering bondage, torture, indignity and severance from family and ancestry was a small price to pay for American whiteness greatness.
It’s a report that decries progressivism and identity politics while making the case that America should be praised for ending the very thing it allowed to exist for roughly 250 years and followed with another 100 years (at least) of legal second-class citizenship for Black people. It’s racist trash just like the soon-to-be ousted president that spawned it.

Oh well, the 1898 chant of “get them nig*as” has turned into the 2021 chant of get them traitors…what a difference 200 years make.
“The Associated Press reports that, as a result of the FBI screening, two National Guard members are being removed from the security team due to their alleged ties to far-right militia groups. The Guard members weren’t found to have taken part in planning an attack against Biden or his inauguration, but since defense officials appear to be rightfully taking a no-risk-whatsoever approach to securing the Capitol, the guards’ possible connection to white nationalism was enough to boot them from the mission.”
Every sheeple, blue black or white who listens to dumbass politicians should be arrested and kept isolated from civil society…time to round up these brainless jackasses.
“A Texas man, arrested for allegedly being part of the riotous mob that attacked the US Capitol building on 6 January, also threatened to shoot his children if they turned him in, according to the FBI.
Guy Reffitt, 48, a licensed driver from Wylie, Texas, is one of the latest additions to the list of people booked for the Capitol violence. He was arrested on Saturday by the FBI and is charged with unlawful entry, for being in the US Capitol, and obstruction of justice, for threatening his family to prevent them from talking to the police.
The affidavit by FBI also mentioned that Mr Reffitt has ties to the militia extremist group “Texas Freedom Force” and two firearms were recovered from his place at the time of his arrest.
The father of two allegedly told his family that he brought a gun to DC during the Capitol riots. The son, according to the affidavit, told the FBI that his father said he went to the Capitol to “protect the country”. He also said Mr Reffitt used “we” — hinting that he had a team along with him — “stormed the Capitol.”
Mr Reffitt’s children allegedly were “disturbed” by his “extreme” statements. When they expressed alarm, he allegedly told them that “if you turn me in, you’re a traitor and you know what happens to traitors…traitors get shot.”
Here’s what incitement to riot looks like!!
