SPOT ON! That we are still dealing with little donnie fuckface and all his minions 3 yrs past an attempted coup is absolutely horrific! Shame on every person elected or not who continues to go along with him.
Yes, 100%, but certainly NOT "the American people" that Elise Stefanik is talking about. THOSE American people are on the side of the domestic terrorist "HOSTAGES."
Steve, I think those poor fools are hostages as well, perhaps even more so. It’s like a form of Stockholm Syndrome? We may be hostages but we have the ability to escape. Vote! Vote like your lives depend on it because it does. They will only vote for their captors bc they have no clue how badly they are being manipulated, even in the face of irrefutable evidence. They don’t know that they are voting for their own demise.
Elise Stefanik sounds like someone who does not want to be on the receiving end of the cries to hang Mike Pence so she has her nose all up in Trump's smelly butt! I noticed that one of the people in the Proud Boys clip had an Amazon shirt on. Such great advertisement for Amazon and its Proud Boy leader. These people are dangerous in their stupidity and are dumber than dirt.
On January 6, 2021, I was caring for my then 94 year old father, a WWII veteran who was living with me in a home hospice program for the gall bladder cancer that eventually took him. We watched the insurrection live as it unfolded.
I will never forget my sweet old daddy sitting there with tears running down his face watching the country he'd sworn to defend 77 years before fall into ashes at the behest of its "commander in chief." He'd also been a loyal Republican for many years until Reagan and Bush Pere finally showed him they didn't give a goddamn about working guys like him.
He died six months later, and I can never forgive Trump or his stooges for harshening my dad's final months with their actions. I wish I believed in hell so I could imagine them rotting in it.
I can relate to that Elaine. My dear 96-year-old mother is still with us and has always followed the news closely. I’ll never forgive Trump for inflicting eight years of pure shit on her dotage.
Elaine I’m with you. My Dad would not recognize what he staunchly defended during WWII .. America is turning into something he would never believe could happen in the USA. That OrangeTwatMuffinConArtistGriftingDiaperDookieTurdlett wants an Oligarchy.. to be IN power FOREVER.. we must vote this whiny little bitch into the trash where that Orange MoldyDumpling belongs.FLUSH THE ORANGE TURD🚽🙌🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
I’m with you 🥰 oh life is so precious! I’m so glad that you got to spend a lot of time with your dad. Regardless of the times, I believe that your connection with him will always exist - no matter what 🤓 I feel like you are blessed to have had personal time with him. I didn’t get enough time with mine, but I continue to foster my connection with my dad in words and spirit. Beautiful share.
I can relate. My dad died in 1997, and my mom went on, living alone for several years as she was pretty self-sufficient. In 2013 the company I worked for went belly-up and she invited me to move in with her, which was unexpected, but at the time she was 80, so it made sense since I'm the only one around. My brother lives about 1800 miles away. So, I've been here for 10 years, taking care of her, and having a work-from-home job. And I get a little chuckle every time I see someone online accuse someone of posting from their mommy's basement, because at 65, that's exactly what I do. 🤣
I spent my own time posting from my parents' basement while I stayed with them until they each left this world.
I came for a visit at the start of my living a gypsy lifestyle in an '85 VW Vanagon after returning from Peace Corps service where I had just turned 40. My dad wasn't doing so well and my mom couldn't handle everything he needed. They wanted to stay in their home, and I had no burning life desire calling my name. I made the choice to stay and help.
It wasn't the hippie life I had planned, but I am happy to have been able to do that for my parents. My mom died the spring before trump was 'elected' into office firmly believing Hillary would be voted in our first woman President. I am glad she did not live to see what transpired instead.
Once afuckinggain, I want to ask one of these shitheads what they would have thought if the January 6 terrorists had been Black? Or middle eastern? What if they had been praying loudly to Allah before storming the capital, and yet done the EXACT same thing that these traitors did??
If they'd been anything other than white, the January 6 terrorists would have been splattered all over the capital steps before they even reached the doors.
Right after the 1/6 insurrection, some outlets showed the contrast between how harshly the police treated about a smaller collection of Black Lives Matter protestors a few months earlier who were standing at the BOTTOM of The Capitol steps peacefully protesting—and contrasting it to how the the cops originally treated the 1/6 rioters, taking selfies with them and laughing about their signs.
That's why I took me a while to not suspect the Capitol Police (at least, some of the White members) of AIDING in the insurrection....
Kristen Welker!? I’m glad I missed it. Elise sold her soul to fascism. The new J6 footage you’ve posted is disturbing and further evidence of the violent intent but it also speaks to the disturbed minds who insist on believing it was just a peaceful tourist visit. WTF? ITS. RIGHT. THERE. Make America Smart Again. 🤦♀️
Hard to believe that sycophant shit for brains Stefanik has a degree in government from Harvard. Since she possesses one the most poisoned minds in Congress, that degree might as well have come from Trump University.
Not THAT strange—she's represents further upstate than I used to live, where farm animals outnumber the humans and a significant percentage of the residents work for the Border Patrol because it's right on the Canadian border. A REAL conservative district now, thanks to some gerrymandering in 2013:
I see Stefanik spewing the shit she has been spewing for years, didn't just start on MTP, and wonder if Harvard is embarrassed. Of course, that could apply to many, many other Harvard grads.
I think Harvard has lowered it’s admissions standards (other Ivy League schools included) significantly since they seems to responsible for cranking out more than it’s fair share of wingnuts. No offense intended to any Harvard (or others) grads here and anywhere they’re defending democracy.
As a resident physician, their arrogance aside, my two least capable interns ever were from Harvard and Yale. God help their patients, I couldn’t get through to them because I wasn’t from an Ivy League school. Even working at a large Kaiser Permanente facility years later, the department head in a send-all email asked which foreign schools had the best grads to interview, “You know, like Harvard.” I replied, “You do realize you just insulted every physician here?”
I remember watching Cronkite's last news telecast in early March of 1981 with my mother. Three weeks later Reagan got shot and my mom said Uncle Wally would never have allowed the coverage to be as fucked up as it was without him.
My thoughts exactly...where are the unbiased, readers of the news these days? Are there any of them left? How did we go from Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather to Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity?
How is the question, for sure. How has our country and government swayed to honor bullheadedness and money over equality and humanitarian rights. How do we repeal existing rules like appointed, lifetime seats in our highest level of judiciary positions? Is there a way to “impeach” those who hold those seats and are biased and religiously motivated? There are those, also, that are completely mentally ill and incompetent. They just can’t withhold their oath to our country and laws.
Can we change our constitution to vote and to democratically choose those that we, as civilized human beings deserve and desire? Limits on time terms need to be established and enforced. I don’t believe in anyone having a lifetime position guaranteed, unless they meet or exceed our expectations!
Of course there is a way, we can change the Constitution, but it is extremely difficult. We’d need 60 votes in the Senate & a 2/3 majority in the House for an amendment & then it has to be approved by 2/3 or ¾ of the individual states.
Remember, the ERA was passed by Congress decades ago & has yet to be passed by the required number of the states.
That’s disgraceful. Voters in the states that have not yet ratified the ERA need to start pushing for it.
Thanks P. J. I’m trying to further educate and understand our political rights and responsibilities as a caring, open minded individual. These processes are a great, tangled web that I tend to find very difficult to understand and navigate. I keep trying though. Always trying to learn and understand so that I can have more opportunities to take an initiative as an honorable, authentic citizen of our country.
Please read the wikipedia article on the ERA. The situation is complicated. We should all be working to increase D majorities in the House and Senate, in order to remove the deadline that is not part of the text of the ERA, but merely attached to the proposed amendment. Then the work really begins!
At least five states ratified the ERA but now want that to be undone. At least three more states ratified after the 1982 deadline extension. So not only do the Ds have to retake Congress, but the Ds have to retake enough state legislatures to ratify it, or at least remove the obstacles to ratification, such as removing lawsuits against the ERA being ratified in states where its ratification has been disputed. And a new Archivist, Colleen Shogan, has been appointed and approved to hold the post as of 2023, and she has a role to play in adding a ratified ERA amendment (#28) to the Constitution. I don't know how long her term in the job lasts, but an Archivist is needed to make the final step happen. Don't get me started on the SCOTUS--six of those justices are unlikely to support the ERA in 2024.
It's difficult not to be discouraged. At least 1/3 of the country does not want equal rights for women, and they see the ERA as a "back door opening to abortion." I know my kid has fewer rights than I did at the same age, and I don't see enough of the other 2/3 of our country rallying behind the ERA and doing what it legally takes to make the 28th Amendment real. I'm wondering whether it will ever happen now in my lifetime, and maybe not even in my kid's lifetime.
Local newspapers are a thing of the past- Ken Chesebro graduated from our HS-people I’ve mentioned it to had no clue... ....back in the day...... yada yada yada.....
Instead we have the NYTs speculating about a pop stars sexuality and the following day reporting about their own opinion piece. Look! Over there, News!
imo, the man that msnbc just fired, Medhi Hasan would be a good one for that position. He wouldn’t let them steamroll over him. The one person they had who would stick up for the innocent Palestinian lives being lost & they apparently folded to pressure.
I don’t understand some of the media outlets. Are they really trying to present “there are two sides to every story”, or are they actually THAT confused about what the real facts are here??? This is becoming a trend, and it’s scary as hell to me.
They don’t know the first thing about journalism. They’re just overpaid pretty people on tv (or brown-nosers at the big name papers) to entertain and brainwash us.
I’m not convinced that those “peaceful” protesters came in peace. I hear a lot of yelling and pounding and see broken glass. If those people showed up at my door, I would not invite them for a cup of tea.
Why are those Babbit supporters wearing masks if they’re on the right side of things? Could it be that they’re wrong?
I had been living in Mexico maybe for two weeks and besides Faux News there was only CNN. It became clear as a bell one morning that half of our problem was the media. Suddenly I saw CNN as not a news company we could rely upon as a truthful news source but as another platform for what essentially are enemies of the state, enemies of democracy. I called a few of my activist friends back in Massachusetts and said, "Holy shit guys, it's the fucking press, all of it." Most did not believe me at first but they sure as shit do now. I hate I told you so's, but I told you so!
And Babbit's family is suing for many millions of dollars, all based on the hero hostage crowd. And Stefanik is so monstrously aggressively opportunistic, she is transparent to everyone except perhaps herself stupid self.
It's like these journalists seem to think that in order to be Serious Journalists, they have to not respond to or correct interviewees who are spewing lies.
Get tough and get it out already you interviewers. Do your fucking job and follow the basic principles of journalism! Or do you need to take some time out to review your work responsibilities and associated ethics? Take the time as a mental health day, or retraining training at the office👋
22 minutes of Elise Stefanick and her lies. 22 minutes on broadcast TV is a lifetime. And then, after steamrolling viewers (and the host) all that time, Kristen tells her "Thank you SOOOOOOO much!"
Kristen Welker dropped the ball! She let Elise Stefucknut ramble on too long! The J6 convicts are “hostages “ ???? Elise Stefucknut would not commit to certifying the 2024 election results,????Go fuck yourself you worthless congresswoman! P.O. Brian Sicknick was from the town I used to live in. Go tell his parents , face to face, that 1/6/21 was a “walk in the park”. I got so mad watching this POS on tv I damn near smashed it. My Irish temper was full on…..!!
Hostages are innocents kidnapped against their will through no choice of their own. The incarcerated insurrectionists decided to move in opposition to the lawfully elected government in an attempt to help the election LOSER retain his presidency by illegally disrupting the peaceful transition of power FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION. There is no instance in which any of these willful miscreants qualifies as a hostage.
The proposition is pretty straight forward. Remember January 6th for what it was. For the legal sophists who try to soft pedal, call them out. For those young intellects who will sit out the election, remind them it is their future they are defaulting on. For the GOP today, vote them out.
The media always tries to maximise eyeballs. ABC,NBC,CBS, and CNN all want a share of the Fox Noise audience's eyeballs. The USA Today is their print equivalent. Mass media = media for the masses, and they simply compete with each other for ratings and hence advertising dollars. Unfortunately, America's masses are apathetic and ignorant when they're not downright wrongheaded. I don't know what the answer is, but please keep doing your part, Jeff.
Everyone knows what really happened on Jan 6. The ones who say they don't, know full well what happened that day. This is kind of an exercise for them in "How stupid are Americans and let's just keep lying to them about it." Too bad for them that we are not the stupid ones. And - these videos don't lie, just in case anyone was actually questioning it. But - no one really is, this is gaslighting at its finest by a bunch of slobs who totally refuse to take responsibility for themselves. No big surprise, considering who their dear leader is.
The American people are the only hostages in this insane fking nightmare.
SPOT ON! That we are still dealing with little donnie fuckface and all his minions 3 yrs past an attempted coup is absolutely horrific! Shame on every person elected or not who continues to go along with him.

For all we know Elaine there is a hell, and if there is, they will spend eternity in it.

Those last months were especially poignant because we'd lived almost 1000 miles apart for 35 years, since I was 20.
I can relate. My dad died in 1997, and my mom went on, living alone for several years as she was pretty self-sufficient. In 2013 the company I worked for went belly-up and she invited me to move in with her, which was unexpected, but at the time she was 80, so it made sense since I'm the only one around.

Your mama is lucky to have you in her basement! I hope when I reach your mama's age in about 20 yrs I will be so lucky! 😉.
Your story made me cry. It’s so horrible what’s happening now. I’m 73, I hope I live to see Trump gone & abortion rights restored
Cannot adequately convey how grateful I am that my dad did not live to see any of this mess.
Once afuckinggain, I want to ask one of these shitheads what they would have thought if the January 6 terrorists had been Black? Or middle eastern? What if they had been praying loudly to Allah before storming the capital, and yet done the EXACT same thing that these traitors did??

Absofuckinglutely.

They would have ALL been jailed within hours.
Well, that's generous. I'm pretty sure they would have been shot ASAP.
Most definitely!
More likely.
A lot of them shot
Worse, I think, than that
It would have been addressed immediately and they’d have been in jail quite a while ago

she's another traitor auditioning for VP. What a horror show we are going to see for the next 9 months.
And abortion NOT allowed. If only.
Hard to believe that sycophant shit for brains Stefanik has a degree in government from Harvard. Since she possesses one the most poisoned minds in Congress, that degree might as well have come from Trump University.
I also think she’s still pissed about being removed from Harvards Senior Advisory Committee ... hence why she went on her rampage against the Harvard President. Elise is a vengeful evil human. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/12/harvard-removes-elise-stefanik-advisory-commitee-458141
What’s hard to believe is that New York's 21st District voted her in, FIVE times.
Not THAT strange—she's represents further upstate than I used to live, where farm animals outnumber the humans and a significant percentage of the residents work for the Border Patrol because it's right on the Canadian border. A REAL conservative district now, thanks to some gerrymandering in 2013:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_21st_congressional_district
OMG, I’m married to a Québécois. They should probably be building a wall against the 21st District.... MDR
Apparently, somebody is—over in British Columbia!

Make America Smart is my new mantra. ‘Again’?
The jury is still out.
We’ve been really dumb a lot of the time if history is any judge.
Haha! True🤓
Kristin Welker is not a Journalist.Or a person you want questioning politicians.
Looks like no one learned from her interview at the town hall
She's not ready for prime time
Footage is a huge help to see the reality and undignified, UGLY behavior of these right wingers. Talk about belligerence‼️‼️‼️
Funny, Mike Johnson hasn't released any more. Must make maga look really, really bad.
You bet it is. If you can’t believe that then you’re definitely brainwashed!
Media-I just shake my head! We need Cronkites, Walters, Rather......on the front pages.
I remember watching Cronkite's last news telecast in early March of 1981 with my mother. Three weeks later Reagan got shot and my mom said Uncle Wally would never have allowed the coverage to be as fucked up as it was without him.
My thoughts exactly...where are the unbiased, readers of the news these days? Are there any of them left? How did we go from Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather to Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity?
How is the question, for sure. How has our country and government swayed to honor bullheadedness and money over equality and humanitarian rights.

And Peter Jennings. Loved him.
Also, don’t forget George Stephanopolis. He speaks truth too.
His successor, David Muir, is a lot like Peter Jennings. He speaks truth, I watch him faithfully.
imo, the man that msnbc just fired, Medhi Hasan would be a good one for that position. He wouldn’t let them steamroll over him. The one person they had who would stick up for the innocent Palestinian lives being lost & they apparently folded to pressure.
I don’t understand some of the media outlets. Are they really trying to present “there are two sides to every story”, or are they actually THAT confused about what the real facts are here??? This is becoming a trend, and it’s scary as hell to me.
The boss wants to keep all viewers and promote policy favorable to big corporations.
Money, the root of all evil.
Actually, it's the love of money that is the root of all evil!
no actually, it's the lust for money that is the root of all evil!
Very true, but the original is "love". See 1Timothy, 6:10.
It’s infuriating.
Can we stop calling them journalists now?
They don’t know the first thing about journalism. They’re just overpaid pretty people on tv (or brown-nosers at the big name papers) to entertain and brainwash us.
I’m not convinced that those “peaceful” protesters came in peace. I hear a lot of yelling and pounding and see broken glass. If those people showed up at my door, I would not invite them for a cup of tea.
Why are those Babbit supporters wearing masks if they’re on the right side of things? Could it be that they’re wrong?
The NYT, the AP and USA Today, and probably others, ALL “both sides” the horrific insurrection of 1/6/21.

Omg 😳 I wanted to puke! It was terrible
And that’s all folks...(I will continue with my inadequate response in another press interview)
The proposition is pretty straight forward. Remember January 6th for what it was. For the legal sophists who try to soft pedal, call them out. For those young intellects who will sit out the election, remind them it is their future they are defaulting on. For the GOP today, vote them out.
The media always tries to maximise eyeballs. ABC,NBC,CBS, and CNN all want a share of the Fox Noise audience's eyeballs. The USA Today is their print equivalent. Mass media = media for the masses, and they simply compete with each other for ratings and hence advertising dollars. Unfortunately, America's masses are apathetic and ignorant when they're not downright wrongheaded. I don't know what the answer is, but please keep doing your part, Jeff.
Everyone knows what really happened on Jan 6. The ones who say they don't, know full well what happened that day. This is kind of an exercise for them in "How stupid are Americans and let's just keep lying to them about it." Too bad for them that we are not the stupid ones. And - these videos don't lie, just in case anyone was actually questioning it. But - no one really is, this is gaslighting at its finest by a bunch of slobs who totally refuse to take responsibility for themselves. No big surprise, considering who their dear leader is.
