[The rabid Left is now advising all who would listen across the land not to hire or have anything to do with people who were part of the Trump administration.  And sure enough, that aspect of our now-arrived cancel culture is taking hold.  Today many of the Left’s lackies are publicly putting such people on their permanently banned list (part of their national unity campaign).  But how would it be if those of the counter-cancel culture grew some balls and started advertising for employees whose desiderata showed they had been a part of Trump’s administration – if not on the WH staff, then in one of the cabinet level departments or other agencies that were led by political appointees who brought along their high level colleagues and former staffers to help administer the federal bureaucracies calcified with thousands of career leftwingers?  If they can do it, why can’t we?  gjr]

    Let’s see. The March 4th attack on DC didn’t happen, but Nancy needs another two months of military encampment. In two months another attack on the Capitol will be rumored and the encampment will remain on high alert…and extended. I am starting to see a pattern here. The biggest scandal of the Jan. 6 mostly peaceful riot was how in the heck did the Capitol Police bobble the ball with such utter incompetence? That is the real scandal. How could any agency whose job is it to protect the Capitol Building and members of Congress be caught with their pants around their ankles? No wonder the Capitol Police chief resigned from his post on Jan 6. Dereliction of Duty is putting it charitable.

    ‘The Capitol Police Chief And Her Democratic Bosses Are Lying To You All To Hold Our Capital Hostage’
    WASHINGTON — My city has been occupied for more than eight weeks. Major thoroughfares blocked, thousands of armed soldiers, armored vehicles, seven-foot fencing, concertina wire.
    What’s it all for? An invading army across the Potomac? Rising far-right militias, ready to strike at any moment?
    Nope. It’s because when angry rioters and protesters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, a Capitol Police force hobbled by its leadership’s poor training regimens, nearly non-existent fitness standards, and fecklessness in the face of crisis were incapable of protecting the building or even shutting the big doors on time.
    It’s because those idiot rioters had finally — after months and years of left-wing riots here and across the country — finally given Democratic lawmakers and the corporate media the right-wing riot they always claimed was around the corner.
    It’s because panic porn and agitprop are useful tools when you’re working as hard as you can to spread fear and distrust against the half of the country that disagrees with your policies.”…….
    (Money Quote). “While headlines like “Capitol Police Say Intelligence Shows Militia Group May Be Plotting To Breach The Capitol” ran in The Washington Post, readers who got seven paragraphs down learn the FBI actually didn’t “have any indication of violence or a specific, credible plot at this time” — the kind of fact that might cause more intelligent or honest journalists to wonder what “intelligence sources” the Capitol Police were citing. None of that got in the way, of course.”

    Gotta love the “trust the science” we keep hearing. Sorry,, it’s ALL a crapshoot.
    “On March 3, seismometers detected acoustic signals linked to the movement of magma through the crust close to the peninsula’s Fagradalsfjall flat-topped mountain and the Krýsuvík-Trölladyngja volcanic system, a series of fissures streaking through the ground. The ground here also deformed, confirming the migration of molten rock.
    Volcanologists and civil authorities began to suspect an eruption was on its way. “This looks like the turmoil we would expect in the run-up to the eruption,” Kristín Jónsdóttir of the Icelandic Meteorological Office told local media that same day. The flowing magma below the surface suggested an eruption could occur in a matter of hours.
    At volcanoes elsewhere in the country, those sorts of signals would herald emergence of lava, McGarvie says. But then nothing happened.”

    “You honestly ought to be motherf–king embarrassed. Disgusting!” she shouted at Hagood, infuriated by the videos and lame discussion.
    When Hagood told her, “I don’t like how you’re speaking to me,” she shot back: “You have rap videos using N-words, talking about whores and bitches and selling drugs. I’m working from home, and this is what I’m hearing my kid in his senior year learning in class.”

    As the Senate prepares to advance President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, new Morning Consult/Politico polling shows strong bipartisan support for the measure is holding against an uptick in Republican attacks on its size, scope and price tag.
    In the new survey, conducted Feb. 26 to March 1, 77 percent of all voters and 59 percent of Republicans said they supported the measure which provides direct payments to some Americans, extends enhanced unemployment benefits through July and provides funding for state and local governments as well as K-12 schools and universities.
    That level of backing from the public is consistent with findings from a survey conducted ahead of the House’s Feb. 27 successful vote on the bill, which passed without any GOP support.

    In the midst of any conversation about Trump and Jan 6 this quote by Mitch McConnell will always come up.
    “They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth ― because he was angry he’d lost an election.”

    It is readily apparent to me that the anti-facist Antifa makes our 3%er wackos look like the bumbling amateurs that they are. The gang that couldn’t shoot straight. They were so disorganized what they would be laughed out of Court on RICO (organized crime) statues. They make The Keystone Cops look professional.
    Now, Antifa has their act together. Mass organization via social media and many paramilitary like arms. The planning, support, logistics, the organizers on the ground monitoring LE movements and crowd cover…..well, they do it right. Often coordinate with BLM for a real show. Street folks holding umbrellas to hide arsonists and those hurling objects of great bodily harm’s identity. Place to grab a different tee shirt.
    Antifa got its scouts and it’s fake journalist teams to do some big time harassment of the media to certain ones of them keep away by yelling ‘fascists! racist!” when detected to have the mob turn on some dude videoing their dastardly deeds. Enemy! No videos getting out! Beat him up and take his camera, and kick him extra hard while he/she freelance documentarian is on the ground. Facist! And, of course, the media covering and worse, spinning it for them. It’s like they are the good folks. So what’s a little graffiti?
    Hang Pence? Remember CHOP CITY? Chop was synonymous with the guillotines of the lovely Jacobins who are always yelling, “Hey Pierre. I need another basket over here, this one is full. Chop chop. And their guillotines looked more professional that the gallows someone with-a pick up truck ran to a Home Depo and bought some plywood and posts. Probably used a portable cheap screw gun. Amateurs. And, CHOP CITY suddenly but up a wall and fence around the place. Burned down the cop shop and the officers had to abandon the building and flee for their lives. Feet don’t fail me now, lol
    That guy with the horned helmet and coyote pelts is now referred to as ‘The Q-Anon Shaman’. lol.
    The Capitol Police reported that one of their officers caught some people milling around in the Senate Cambers, with one guy sitting in Chuckie Cheese Shummer or Moscow Mitch’s deck. The guard said, “Ok fellows, time to leave.” The Terrorists got up and left the Senate Chambet peacefully and with no back talk and not taking a souvenir. I might have grabbed the gavel in a weak moment of temptation. But, that’s just me. At least one of the insurgents got to pick it up and play with it.
    All in all once the riotous throngs of insurgents made it inside the Hallowed Halls of Congress, they looked around and said, “Uh….now what?” Selfie time.
    I can see punch’s outrage over the most radical of the bunch vandalizing and throwing Nance’s papers on the floor. Idiots! Complete morons. No imagination. Personally, I would have taking a big old boneless brown on top of her desk…and put her papers neatly on the desk first.
