Still spreading misinformation

This article claims "the number of pro-Trump supporters who brandished guns or knives inside the Capitol is zero" when in reality federal prosecutors have filed weapons charges against 190 of the rioters plus at least 225 defendants have been charged with assaulting, impeding, or resisting law enforcement during the riot.

The article claims zero have been charged with conspiracy whereas more than 40 have been charged with conspiracy, see same link.

The article claims the 1/6 riot was not a serious threat and ignores over 140 police were injured.

The article is bullshit. It is ridiculous to count deaths as the only indicator of the meaningfulness of events. Whoever does not see what Jan 6 meant is either dumb or does not value democracy. That said, the storming of the Capitol is arguably the lesser sin compared to the GOP playbook of decertifying state electors.

The Harris speech and the ridiculous music show were however entirely unnecessary.

Friday’s jobs report from the Labor Department showed that the nation’s unemployment rate fell from 4.2 percent to a healthy 3.9 percent, the lowest ever was under Trump @ 3.5%.

When Biden was inaugurated the unemployment rate was 6.3%

And jobs added well below expectations.

I am not ready to credit any politician for economic indicators unless steady over a long period of time and breaking a trend of predecessor.

"expectations"? What is the relevance of incorrect forecasts?

Breaking trend of predecessors?

Now do inflation. Oh wait, we cannot blame Biden for this.

Oh come on, do not be so a dog in the manger.
Give Biden the credit he deserves, when Trump announced jobless down to 3.9% his cult had orgasms.

You do know inflation is word wide? Turkey just announced inflation of 36%.

But sure, do blame Biden, he is used to fact free allegations.

You don't get my point.

I don't blame Biden for inflation. That would be nuts. But I also don't credit him (or any other politician) for good GDP or jobless rates when they did not much to support them.

Also ignoring Rosanne Boyland, the woman trampled (and killed) by her looney Trumpy friends.

Here's an even better summation. Matt Taibbi scores yet again!

No mention of Biden.

So according to this article, Trump is too lazy and stupid to orchestrate a coup. If a bank robber is incomptetent and gets caught before getting his hands on the money, does this mean the attempted robbery is not a crime?

You have to subscribe to read the whole thing, right? That not the whole article, is it?

I will try and link again but when I clicked the link, it was the entire article. See if this might work: https://taibbi.substack.com/p/a-tale...authoritarians

You missed the whole point of the article Kosmo. While Taibbi asserts that Trump is too thick and distracted to organise a coup...Oh the irony that Dems bring none other than Dick Cheney to pay homage to the near "catastrophe"/assault on democracy of 1/6! Cheney, the man who has zero regard for human rights and who single-handedly managed his own coup. He created an inner government circle which could circumvent any government or legal interference during his tenor as VP. Given Cheney's record on human rights abuses etc.., the irony that he and his daughter are the only "Republicans" at the 1/6 vigil, is telling indeed. What a travesty! The hypocrisy clearly knows no bounds...

No mention of Biden but his administration clearly approved of Cheney's presence ...no? Therein lies the issue and the complete hypocrisy. So who is exactly "pulling the strings here"? My guess is it is probably not Biden...

Ps...I feel sorry for Biden. No way he should have run given his mental state (If I was his wife, no way would I have agreed for him to run) Look at how much this role has aged previous presidents:Bush, Clinton, Obama..all aged and then some. Please don't blame his mental acuity or lack thereof on his so called "stutter". That was never an issue in the 2000s when he was much sharper in Senate hearings.. No sign of a stutter or mental issue then. Sad!

Biden, while definitely (imo) showing signs of (mild, not yet severe) infirmity in his speech patterns and behariour, is overall still more eloquent than Trump, a supposedly younger and sharper man, whose speech was often so slurred, and who often couldn't finish sentences or pronounce words, that it was a topic of much concern among his staff and hilarity among comedians. But of course, Republicans forget details like that the moment Trump left office in their desperation to play smear politics. Trump is a disaster of a human being with the crappiest character of any president in my lifetime and managed to fool easily influenced people into believing that he was acting in their interests, when all he did was promote an increasingly authoritarian and undemocratic leadership style and looked only after the interests of himself and the rich and powerful. All you have to do now is look at the state of the Republican party and top politicians like McDonnell, Ted Cruz, Peter Nevarro etc and you know that they have zero soul or conscience and are actively trying to subvert democracy without even trying to be subtle about it, because they don't need to be. Truly despicable and wretched characters without conscience.

I don't think there is a more delusional mass of people in the world (discounting religions) than Fox-consuming Republican voters.

First, I didn't get to read the full Cheney part as your link didn't allow for that. Second, the last time I checked the transition from the GWB administration to Obama was pretty normal.

I agree that the Cheneys being the only Republicans during the event was shameful. I also take it that your use if exclamation marks suggests "RINO", or not?
