Pro-plague.

Candace Owens, April 2020

“Two weeks ago I told you all that India was the country to watch as millions of their workers were stranded along the railroad — no means of social distancing,” Owens said. “India has just 169 deaths. Reported its first case in January. BUT IT’S 10 TIMES MORE DEADLY THAN THE FLU, BRO!”

            Owens was mocking the virus as being oversold and comparing Covid 19 to the flu was popular amongst conservatives.

            Have you seen the drone footage from India showing the mass open air cremation of bodies because too many died too quickly? It’s incredible and overwhelming. Their hospitals ran out of oxygen. Their health care system collapsed.

             In Bolivia the nation’s hospital and health care system also has collapsed.

            Venezuela’s is in the process of crashing if it hasn’t already.

            Mass burials are taking place in other countries as well. Mortuaries and crematoriums are overwhelmed.

Reaping

            This is what the pro-plague Republicans and Evangelicals sought for this nation.

            From the very beginning of the pandemic the Republican policy of denial has thwarted efforts to lessen the damage caused by the plague. The plagues success in killing hundreds of thousands of people needlessly in this country is their victory.

Never forget.

            America should never forget the hundreds of thousands of needless pandemic deaths caused by Ex-President Trump, the Republican Party, Republicans, Evangelicals, anti-vaxers, Proud Boys, White Nationalists, Alt-Right, Confederates, the KKK, Nazis, Q-anon and MAGAT Heads. Never. The list isn’t complete. There are simply too many hate groups that supported Trump’s Administration of traitors to cover them all. With this many names the individual groups get lost in the swill. This is Trump’s hardcore base. The voice of normal Republicans has been lost in the storm along with their party.

            We should never forget all the super spreading events that they hosted and supported.

            We should also never forget that in the midst of this pandemic that Republicans attempted to overthrow our government and way of life. We should never forget that they are the ones that ended a 220 year history of having a peaceful transition of power by attacking our Capitol like animals.

            And now their “Chosen One” with 600,000 dead Americans lost to the plague was in Mar a Lago drinking Diet Coke, golfing with his rich friends and doing what he does best—complaining about how he was treated. Then he moved to New Jersey where he can drink Diet Coke, watch TV and complain about how he was treated.

He dines. He whines.

Their agenda continues.

            Now they oppose vaccines; the very vaccines that would bring about the herd immunity that they claimed in the beginning as being what they wanted. Yet they want their tribal Chief credited with the vaccine that they refuse to take.

            Their excuses for not taking the vaccine are as plentiful as all the fanciful conspiracies that they spread. Their right wing news sources support their unshakable beliefs of false information.

Tribal

            Their resistance to vaccinating is tribal. No science. No concern for others. They just act on the primitive urges that they ascribe to people of color living in, as described by their tribe’s leader, “shit hole” countries. Witch doctors are their advisors. Their conspiracy theories are fueled by their voodoo priests of disinformation. They are willing to believe any witches brew concoction of lies. Gullibility is their shield of deniability and taking any responsibility.

            Even when their fellow tribe members die from Covid 19 they claim that something else killed them. Primitive beliefs define their knowledge and understanding as they profess fealty to their Tribal Leader.

TLM

            They still want more dead people or they would be encouraging people to vaccinate. Chief Trump got the vaccine for himself and his family just like he got state of the art medical treatment when he caught Covid 19.

            Trump hasn’t shown leadership for the greater good in defeat either. He is still consumed with acting on his grudges and being the first dictator of the United States. He isn’t going to bother with telling his tribal followers to vaccinate. He needs their ignorance, sacrifice and money to fund his next coup attempt. The pauper billionaire.

            600,000 dead and counting.

Trump’s truest legacy.

What hath Trump wrought?

 Fortress America!

“Our country has had enough.

We will not take it anymore.”

        Donald Jenius Trump made the above comments on January 6, 2021, among others, after being the President of the nation for 4 years. “We the People” agreed with his statement on November 3^rd, 2020 and declined to grant him a second term.

        After he said that his merry band of MAGATrump Head seditionists stormed the Capitol in attempt to overthrow our government. Republican politicians supported his attempt. They supported his attempted coup leading up to the trashing of our Capitol ending a 240 year run of our Republic having a peaceful transfer of power. They attempted to make us like Myanmar.

They failed.

He failed.

Chaos End

        And now we have more fencing, surrounding the Capitol to defend people from the mob of thugs that would bring it down. Some of the very same armed militia types that assaulted state capitols around the country at Trump’s request sewing fear. Widespread fear. Fear founded in lies. The chaos of lies.

        Fear this. Fear that. Fear the Muslims. Fear the brown people. Fear the socialists. Fear the LGBTQ. Fear the border. Fear equality. Fear the non-Christian. Fear minorities voting. Fear the poor. Fear the vote of the people. Fear science. Fear masks. Fear vaccines. Fear helping others.

        The Trump conspiracy-driven incompetent clique ended as it began and was throughout their four year run—in chaos. The chaos of a fortunately bungled coup attempt of people calling themselves patriots as they tried to overturn the results of a legitimate election and overthrow our government by harming Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

Easy Answer.

        How did a person like Representative Greene get elected? That same question could be asked about Boebert, Hawley, Cruz, Ghomert, Cotton, Jordan, Gaetz, McConnell, Graham, McCarthy and all of the other unindicted co-conspirators and enablers. There’s an easy answer. They were elected and supported by people just like them. People that believe just like them and act like them.

        That was the jenius of Donald Jenius Trump. He understood MAGAT Heads completely when he said that he could shoot someone on 5^th Avenue and they would still vote for him. Would vote for a cold-blooded murderer. And vote for a cold-blooded murderer they did. To the tune of 74 million this time.

        A murderer that caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths hard lined straight to him and all of his enablers from allies like the Kurds that he turned his back on to our nation’s citizens. Ultimately he killed too many with his incompetence and inability to learn. That contributed to his loss.         They still support him. They still support his coup.

They are Trump.

Aftermath

        Republicans have been successful in making America an armed camp from top to bottom at least for a few days. Troops in a walled off capitol made necessary to protect the transfer of power from their armed mob of MAGAT insurrectionists still intent on overruling the will of the majority of people to satisfy their desire for a fascist nation with their kind of white people in charge.

        What’s the answer? What do we need?

More guns!

More walls!

More security!

        The Republican answer is always that more guns are needed. A nation that is awash in guns needs more guns. More guns are needed on the streets, homes, schools and at the Capitol to protect us! More fencing! Security checkpoints! More riot shields. More bullet proof vests. More barbed wire!

Everywhere in their Amerika!

Loyalty is a one way street

        Who pays for all of the above? All the troops called in? All the damage that was done to the Capitol? All the legal expense of dealing with traitors now and in the future? All the ongoing extra security needed?

We the taxpayers!

        The cost so far from Trump’s attempt to overturn the legitimate vote that he lost, is a half billion dollars. That’s on the low side. All the costs have yet to be added up. What’s more, the costs will be ongoing. And they will only be able to charge a fraction of the thousands the people that should be charged for their treason.

        The majority of rubes that Trump et al got to do his dirty work won’t be charged. There are too many and all the cases of those that should be charged would clog up our courts. Trump could have pardoned all of them en masse like President Carter pardoned all the draft dodgers. Trump didn’t.

        Loyalty is a one way street for the fraidy leader that did not even walk with the insurgents like he said he would. He could have walked at the front and led them.

        He could have walked right in to the Capitol, past the barricades and guards. He could have led the “troops.” Who would have stopped him?

        Who should really pay? How about….

Trump the multi-billionaire who caused it.

Crows

        And MAGAT Heads around the country are crowing on social media and in the news that they are proud of what has happened. Bragging that they trashed the Capitol and tried to overturn the vote of “We the People.” Those that weren’t able to vandalize wish they had been.

        There are already 2024 flags waving in the land. They are preparing for the next one and will “be better.”  

“Trial by combat!”

Left behind

        Say goodbye for awhile to the America that former President Donald Jenius Trump would have stuck us with. Brought to you exclusively by Trump the Jenius, his MAGAT Heads, the Republican and Evangelical parties along with their various militia thugs. His very own paramilitary Republican Guard to do his bidding. His supplicants.

        The religion of Trump remains. He is the forever victim, forever whining. Even now he’s watching TV and plotting. Plotting how to do what he does best to our nation. Plotting chaos to help Putin. Away from the MAGAT Heads that he never brought to the White House or entertained at Mar-a-Lago. Too low class for him to associate with.

        Plotting.

And cheating at golfing.

 

Yes it is

This is NOT who we are!

            Trump lost Biden won. MAGATrump Heads don’t believe it. If they were the least bit interested in the truth they wouldn’t be following Trump. It’s why they staged a coup.

            I have watched a lot of video of the Republican MAGATrump Head insurrectionists trashing the Capitol to overturn the vote of “We the People.” One video that I watched bears mentioning. A MAGAT supporter was telling his fellow seditionists, “This isn’t who we are!” as they ran by him on the steps of the Capitol.

Has he never been to a Trump rally?

            The crowd of MAGAT insurrectionists at the Capitol was exactly like those that attend every Trump rally. The crowd out front claiming that it was a peaceful demonstration were providing cover for their thug comrades. Same signs. Same messages. Same T-shirts. Same racists present. Their tyranny dressed in the colors of the government that they would overthrow.

The poop was different.

            Okay, okay I’ll give you that the MAGAT Heads didn’t usually play with their poop at Trump rallies. That was new. They saved that behavior for the Capitol. Evidently the coup planners didn’t think that providing Port a Potties was necessary. #1. Storm Capitol. #2. Poop on floors.

            At least they didn’t share selfies of them doing it.

So there’s that.

Howlers.

            The horned fur hat wearing, bare chested, face painted, howling, Q believing MAGAT Head shaman along with the camouflaged geared up Proud Boys are quintessential representatives of the willful ignorance of the traitors to our nation. They wave patriotic symbols while trashing Democracy because it doesn’t support the beliefs they hold sacred. Beliefs like White Nationalism and racism.

            MAGAT Heads support what happened at the Capitol and turn against any of their seditious brethren that don’t go along. The violent mob we saw….

Is exactly either who they are or who they want to be.

Try and focus

            In a video of a focus group of MAGAT supporters that didn’t attend the coup attempt they all but one expressed sympathy for those that trashed the Capitol. The same holds true for the majority of comments posted by MAGAT Heads in comments about the insurgency. They were there in spirit and probably would have gone too but their guns were at the cleaners.

            The surprise to me is that they were almost uniform in their condemnation of Vice President Pence. Now I think in general Pence is at the very top of the list when it comes to obsequious sycophants to EX President Trump. He practically fawns on Trump. I’m surprised he’s able to meet him without his wife being present. They’re as loyal to Trump’s followers as he is. You know—the ones that he didn’t pardon or help with their legal expenses. After all….

These are tough times for billionaires.

How do they know?

            Not a surprise that none of the focus group followed mainstream news. None. Only one of the group watched Fox Pravda and that was only the opinion sideshows. Several pointed out that they don’t know who to believe and ‘trust no one’ was also real popular. They don’t trust anyone. Well, except for their fellow MAGAT Heads that also don’t trust anyone. Kind of a loop there.

            BTW it was Fox Lawyers defending their network in court that claimed their talking head Carlson wasn’t a journalist and couldn’t be trusted. Their talking heads in general have a flexible relationship with the truth on their best days. On most days they just lie. This isn’t good enough for the MAGAT Heads. They know what they already know that they have been told that they know. They want their truth that is lies 24/7/365.

            Based upon what they “knew” they not only trashed the Capitol in an attempted coup they trashed 224 years of having a peaceful transfer of power.

So where does what they “know” come from exactly?

            They know that they believed Trump’s messaging from the very beginning. They don’t want anyone telling them what to do about anything except for Trump and he says trust no one! He tells them that what they believe is righteous. It’s okay to be loud and crude. They are right to want walls to keep out other races and religions. It’s okay to call people of color animals, rapists and criminals. Money comes before everything! Life included. There is no class warfare because they’re the only class that matters. The world that Trump wants is the world that they want. Even though Trump never lets them into his daily world he validates what they want to believe and can’t have. It isn’t about policy. They want subservience. They want intimidation. It’s about power. White power.

They know what they know.

The rally cry

            MAGAT Heads believe what the collective believes. The collective believes Trump. Trump believes Trump.

“We are Trump!”

 

Impunity

Not guilty

            There isn’t any way that I can see 17 Republicans siding with Democrats to vote Trump guilty of inciting an insurrection. He is clearly guilty, but if they find him guilty then they are admitting their own guilt as well. They are judging themselves and they are their own jury.

            They have either backed Trump or excused his lies, actions, false conspiracies, behavior and sedition. They will hide behind the Constitution that they have sought to destroy while they continue to incite the Republican MAGA seditionists.

            Everybody should be held accountable!

But them.

Republican Sampler. 

• A current member of the House, Marjorie Taylor Greene, threatened to kill Democrats and FBI agents PRIOR to getting elected. She believes in the Q! (She also thinks the wildfires in California were started by giant space lasers.)
• Republican MAGA Congressional seditionists tried to overturn the lawful vote of “We the People”.
• In Texas, Rep. Kyle Biedermann submitted a bill for the state to secede from the United States. Prior to the 2016 election, the largest secession website in the country was in Texas and run by the Russians. There are other Republican secession movements as well.
• Secession movements among Republicans aren’t new. Sarah Palin’s husband Todd, now divorced, was a member of a secession Party in Alaska and she attended one of their conventions.
• In Oregon, the state RNC passed a resolution calling the attack on the Capitol a “false flag” and that the Democrats were actually the ones that did it. (For reals.)
• Representative Kevin McCarthy said that it was all our fault. (And some Nazis are very fine people too while we’re at it.)
• In Arizona they censured their Representative Cindy McCain, Senator Jeff Flake and Gov. Doug Ducey for not being seditiony enough even though McCain supported overturning the lawful vote of “We the People” in the Presidential election.
• Alaska Republican Jamie Allard defended a 3Reich vanity plate as being benign. She was on the Human Rights Commission and has since been removed.
• Georgia Republican State Representative David Clark was removed from the chamber for refusing to test for Covid. They don’t like wearing masks and they don’t like being tested.
• This is a favorite of mine. Neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier Arthur Jones won the Republican nomination for the 3rd Congressional District in Illinois. Yes, an actual Nazi won a GOP primary. The RNC blamed media for him winning. Classic!
• I’m going to just stop here without bothering to list all the racists that were uncovered in the Trump Administration. Some of you might remember their resignations.

 The Dudes

            I should avoid starting these lists because they could just go on forever and seditious MAGA Republicans will either respond with some irrelevant whataboutism or share some highly detailed erroneous piece of information. The link provides a nice explanation of the concept of whataboutism and I love this line from their definition, “If everyone is guilty of something, is no one guilty of anything?”

            House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy signed on to answering the above quote affirmatively.  “As a nation, I know we sit back and we’re appalled by what we’re seeing,” McCarthy said. “But I want everybody to take a deep breath and understand: We all have some responsibility here.”

Cray. Real cray.

            But keep in mind that they are using the “Dudes” defense as in some other dudes did it. It wasn’t the seditious terrorists Proud Boys and MAGA insurrectionists. It was Antifa, Democrats and BLM infiltrators! So the crowd that just looked and acted like the people at every Trump rally that has ever been were cunningly disguised imposters with all of their Trump flags, paraphernalia and White Racist gear.

            They were good. They were so good that they fooled the FBI by infiltrating hundreds of Facebook pages with videos posted by people that actually looked like the people they were impersonating.

             So, Republicans are the ‘Law and Order’ Party with the following exceptions and disclaimers:

• Upholding their oaths of Office.
• Sacking the Capitol.
• Their own responsibility for continuing to incite treasonous behavior.
• Being truthful about Trump losing the election.
• Recognizing 62 court decisions about the election being legal and their being zero widespread fraud.
• Holding the President accountable for inciting an insurrection while holding the Seditious Republican MAGA terrorists responsible.
• Being truthful in general.

            So they are the Law and Order Party.

Kind of.

Trial of the Century

            We’re going to have ringside seats to the Senate trial concerning the article of impeachment. There will be lots of really good speeches. LOTs. Evidence will be presented. Republicans will reject it. Make that denounce it. They have pressing party matters to protect. Trump is giving them orders perceived as threats. The party is still his.

            We need to keep in mind during the trial Trump’s infamous remarks to the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by!” until he turned them loose on the Capitol and Congress. In the immortal words of Vice President Pence in regards to excusing whatever malicious act Trump commits.

“Well, that’s Donald Trump.”

 

Q-Errific says

 

I was duped!

            The dazzling representative of “Q” says through his lawyer that he was duped by President Trump. Hard to believe, I know. His shamanness, according to his lawyer, wanted a pardon from the President because he did what Trump wanted them to do—ransack the Capitol and try to find certain members of congress along with Vice President Pence to do them harm.

Trial by combat!

            His shamanness is one of the spokespeople of the millions of MAGA insurrectionists, thousands of whom ransacked the Capitol for Trump. The nonexistent “Q” that nobody has seen or knows is the Q, identified the Q or knows if the Q is real. But MAGA terrorists nevertheless follow the Q and the bizarre conspiracy theories espoused by the unknown Q. Since nobody can verify the existence of Q what Q says is never questioned especially since Q has been proven completely wrong by none other than…

Q!

            (I’m unsure of what Q’s pronouns are. I’m guessing Russian.)

            I understand that the above may have been a little hard to follow but that’s the nature of Q. Personally I lean towards the shaman actually being Q but the ‘doesn’t eat nonorganic food’ seems a little snowflaky and out of sync with the armed camo-tactical-gear-wearing Republican MAGA seditionists, but HEY that’s Q.

Low-class

            The reality is that President Trump could have pardoned all of the seditionists just like President Carter pardoned all of the draft evaders. Trump didn’t though. He only encouraged them to ransack the capitol to try and overturn the vote of “We the People” and said that he would go with them. He didn’t. He watched. That’s what he does. He’s a voyeur, not a doer. Besides his bone spurs were probably acting up that day. Instead he denounced them for doing what he incited them to do. Classy. Real classy.

Treason is hard.

            Millions of MAGA seditionists are simpatico with the horned wonder. Kind of poetic really. A spokesperson for Trump, dressed appropriately enough with horns. Evangelicals eat your hearts out. Not literally please! Perhaps I need to be a tad more careful. These people are impressionable as they are gullible. It’s a shame that there isn’t an Olympic category.

            Did Trump ever let any of his supporters, horned or otherwise, stay overnight at the White House? Mar-a-Lago? The reality is that he considers these cosplaying supporters of his only worthy of manipulating, not socializing with. He prefers tens.

            Looks can be deceiving. The crowd was Middle America. Doesn’t matter. They weren’t welcome at his White House or Mar-a-Lago either. Not the crowd that he runs with. Make that walks with. Bone spurs you know. After all he has his standards. Just ask his horned spokesman. No not that one. The other one.

            Perhaps more of Trump’s supporters will wake up to the fact that they have been used and abused by their Liar. That seventy four million people that voted for him could be reduced by as much as a couple of hundred people at least that have come to realize that they have been had.

Nah.
