OK, I believe him.
He was still referencing a brutal, unjust system by which the outcome of a legal dispute would be settled through bloodshed instead of presentation of evidence. So fuck him anyway.

Since the deadly riot Jan. 6, lawmakers have suggested â not, so far, backed up by evidence â that far-right colleagues may have helped plan or guide the attack.
I take extreme exception to the evidence bit. Maybe, one could say there is no conclusive evidence, but we sure as fuck have evidence.

Did Biden ever publicly vow a âsafe inaugurationâ for Trump when he was the outgoing VP? I think not! Clearly this administration is more considerate and security-minded than the previous one.

I think it is noteworthy that Ghouliani thinks Game of Thrones is a documentary. Fitting, really, coming from people who used The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, as a how-to book.

Yes, do we want people clad in furs and redneck cosplay to kill this guyâs security people, force him to hide in barricaded offices, have his stuff stolen, and make feel his life is threatened where he is supposed to feel safe, all while gleefully livestreaming it? What are we, animals? Give this insurrectionist filth his privacy.

Priola apparently resigned from her Cleveland Schools position on January 7, when her identity became known in the wake of the riots. In a colorfully disturbing resignation letter, Priola reportedly listed several reasons for quitting, including that she was refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine; that she âwill be switching paths to expose the global evil of human trafficking and pedophilia, including in our government and childrenâs services agenciesâ; and that she does not agree with paying her teacherâs union dues, âwhich help fund people and groups that support the killing of unborn children.â

Excerpt: Republican lawmakers in Congress⌠are mobilizing a new cycle of grievance against the forces they see arrayed against Trumpism. Down the road, they may well be able to engineer the sort of electoral coup that Trump could not in 2020. âRepublicans have pursued a project of minority rule for decades, exploiting structural features of American politics and opportunistically shaping rules in their own favor,â wrote Zeynep Tufekci in the Atlantic. âAlready, there are signs that many in the GOP intend to respond to their loss in the Senate by doubling down on disenfranchising voters in the name of fighting the âelection fraudâ they falsely convinced millions is widespread.â

Jesus, a high school therapist. I mean, imagine the potential damage this wormtongue could do, whispering in kidsâ ears. Itâs good she isnât there anymore. QAnon pablum should instantly activate a â1000 yards from schoolsâ restraining order.

To me, itâs revelatory that Qanon bullshit has become her core belief system, and has supplanted rational thought.
There was a new york times article on how the road to âfriendsâ and âlikesâ runs though extremism.

Rioters wanted to âcapture and assassinateâ lawmakers, prosecutors say. A note left by the âQAnon Shamanâ is evidence.

Theyâre playing it close to the vest.
â Officials now say they have found clues to that question from one of the mobâs most distinctive figures: Jacob Anthony Chansley, the shirtless, tattooed man often referred to as âQAnon Shaman,âwho stood out in a headdress made of coyote skin and buffalo horns.
In a court filing late on Thursday, federal prosecutors in Phoenix wrote that âstrong evidence, including Chansleyâs 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.â
The 18-page memo, which asked a judge to keep Chansley detained before his trial, said the 33-year-old Arizona man left an ominous note for Vice President Pence at his desk in the Senate chamber: âItâs only a matter of time, justice is coming.â
-In a headdress - they should just puncture his pompous balloon and call it a hat.

Not sure those are heavily vetted positions. Ours was a notorious gossip. If any child went to her with a problem, the whole school knew in a few hours.
If only sheâd had some sort of training or education to protect her from toxic peer pressure.

I finally read the opinion piece by Charles Blow about calls for unity, published a couple days ago. He ends strong:
It seems to me, the âunityâ of America is often conflated with the silence of the oppressed and the pacification of the oppressors.
As long as you can put your foot on my neck without the protestations of your neighbors or the wails of my pain, America is happy. That, to America, is unity: quiet capitulation.
