Pottersville Digest

 
(Ask Liz Cheney for deprogramming tips.)


     "A snapshot that really gives the big picture revelation is what happened with just under two minutes left in the game and a player named Devin White -- number 45 for the Tampa Bay Bucs -- number 45 intercepts in the end zone a pass from the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback."
     Yes, he actually said this in public.

     COVID just claimed its first member of Congress. RIP Rep. Ron Wright.

     I have zero sympathy for these people. None. Everyone is empowered to not believe in conspiracy theories. Don't blame algorithms, don't say these people deserve love and "understanding." Did you see those people in DC on the 6th? Those were not people that needed a hug. They killed a cop and would've killed members of Congress if they got their hands on them.

     Yeah, this is definitely the B team. The tragic thing is, they'll probably win.

     The fact that it was so true was the reason why Rudy ordered it suppressed in 1993.

     Nice try, assholes, but, no, we're getting this done. Justice isn't a matter of timing.

     A former Fed prosecutor thinks the impeachment managers should compel Trump's testimony for the simple reason that they know he'll sink his lawyers' case, such as it is.

     Another right wing Senate scumbag falls to the wayside, making four thus far. Rob Portman (Ohio), Patrick J. Toomey (Pa.) and Richard Burr (N.C.) also announced their retirements next year. Hopefully, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin will make it five.

     Since when did Michelle Obama write federal policy?

     Fraud Guarantee: Truth in advertising.

     Will someone please get that right wing rat fucker Louis DeJoy out of the Postal Service?

     So much for that smiling pledge rush at Mar a Lago a week and a half ago.

     I hope this lawsuit completely destroys Robinhood. They steal from the poor while giving to the rich at the top of their food chain. Now a boy is dead because of their larcenous lies.

    OK, those of you nice people who DIDN'T tear the Capitol apart to overturn President Biden's lawful election on January th can afford to blame Trump. The rest of you, sit down, shut up and stop blaming Trump for your actions.

     I cannot fathom why people would deliberately do this to other human beings.

    Remember back in the good old days when convicted criminals who'd gotten presidential pardons were still vulnerable to state charges?
    Say bye bye to that.

     Look, I'm no fan of Liz Cheney, obviously. But I give the lady credit for showing some backbone by voting for the article of impeachment on January 13th. What's borderline tragic is that, while Cheney still has her chair and Marjorie Taylor-Greene got booted off both her committee assignments, Greene actually has a brighter political future than Cheney.

    Mobstering for Dummies: Next time you try to strong arm someone into breaking the law for you, make sure it's not a high-ranking elected official who has the power to investigate you for strong arming him.
    
Sorry, bubby, you can't have it both ways.
    
"It’s already getting dark out there for Mister Trump. Without the presidency, he already commands much less of our mindshare than he did only a few weeks ago. Like Palin, Trump himself will recede over time, even if the damage he has inflicted on our political culture remains. The media has started to search for the next ambassador from Crazytown, the next ratings grab." -Vanity Fair.

    
Petitioning pardons from Trump became a frenzied, short-term cottage industry. Alan Douchewitz probably made more pelf than anyone else. The problem is, no one knows how much he made.
    
White privilege rears its ugly white head yet again. First, it was Zip Tie Guy, then it was Jenny Cudd. Now this asshole got sprung. Meanwhile, the only black person arrested and charged for the riots is still sitting in prison.

     Bloated incel Nazi Gabriel Brown ID'd for attacking the press during the insurrection. So if you're in Long Island and see this Nazi asshole, report him to the local police. The FBI is looking real hard for him.

    
Hope it was worth it, kid.
     "Dahlink, will you rid me of fucking meddlesome woman, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff?" "Sure, doll. I'll have the DOJ sue her."
     DOJ today: "Not any more."

   
"Given that the Constitution permits the Senate to impose the penalty of permanent disqualification only on former officeholders, it defies logic to suggest that the Senate is prohibited from trying and convicting former officeholders."
    That's from a right wing lawyer who points out the Bizarro world in which Republicans live in which facts are debated at best, contested and ignored at worst.

  
"No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
     Republican scum: "Except if he has a capital R cynically Velcroed to the end of his name and wields a violent and homicidal mob that scares us shitless." And finally...

    
Erin Burnett lays out a pretty damning timeline of Trump's inactions during the riots that flies in the face of Trump's legal team's laughable defense that Trump reacted "immediately" to quell the riot he'd started.
