Some of the right wing religious nutters on YouTube comments are still saying Trump will be inaugurated as president on 20 Jan. Someone pointed out how could that happen considering Trump said he won't be attending.

 

 

Oh he'll do it virtually :D

One of these photos shows troops guarding the parliament building of a country reported by international observers to be enduring ethnic conflicts, economic troubles, and political conflict. The other shows... well, same thing really.

I don't think I have read as much in the last week as I have in the last 5 years.

 

Its just been such an amazing implode of epic proportions and it just keeps going. 

 

So awesome to see Rudy Giuliani being shafted.

 

The greatest show on earth.

There has to be a die hard movie in there somewhere surely, Bruce has gotta do at least one more and nothing would be more perfect than the storming of the capital. 

 



White House Down?

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2334879/ 

"While on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, a Capitol policeman springs into action to save his child and protect the president from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders."

Or

Olympus has fallen

 

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2302755/ 

"Secret Service agent Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack and works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers."

Disturbing stuff. I stay away from that world though I have friends in it so I'm not usually exposed to this kind of thing. It mystifies and distresses me how good people get sucked into this.

About upholding the US constitution and law enforcement directing remarks toward heavily armed white Christians is about 50 years overdue.

Greatest generation. Bah! I realize a lot of white Christian men enjoyed disproportional power after World War II, and are unhappy that their special treatment ended.

But get over it! Draping yourself in the American flag doesn't make you patriotic.

Beating a police officer with a flag pole holding an American flag doesn't make you patriotic. Wearing a bullet proof vest, helmet and gas mask while waving a Confederate or Gadsden flag doesn't make you patriotic. It makes you a traitor.

The U.S. Constitution never explicitly mentions God or the divine. The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, together with that Amendment's Free Exercise Clause is:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

There are some good local articles that discuss how people fall into these rabbit holes.

Some of these articles were written by David Farrier. He's been really good at tracking these trends, documenting and reporting on them. I subscribed to his newsletter/blog (I really dislike people posting long form in tweet threads, David's done it right by creating a newsletter/blog site).

The Washington Post - The $3,000-a-month toilet for the Ivanka Trump/Jared Kushner Secret Service detail

 

today

 


Many U.S. Secret Service agents have stood guard in Washington’s elite Kalorama neighborhood, home over the years to Cabinet secretaries and former presidents. 

 

Those agents have had to worry about death threats, secure perimeters and suspicious strangers. 

 

But with the arrival of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, they had a new worry: finding a toilet.

 

Instructed not to use any of the half-dozen bathrooms inside the couple’s house, the Secret Service detail assigned to President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law spent months searching for a reliable restroom to use on the job, according to neighbors and law enforcement officials. 

 

After resorting to a porta-potty, as well as bathrooms at the nearby home of former president Barack Obama and the not-so-nearby residence of Vice President Pence, the agents finally found a toilet to call their own.

 

But it came at a cost to U.S. taxpayers. 

 

Since September 2017, the federal government has been spending $3,000 a month - more than $100,000 to date - to rent a basement studio, with a bathroom, from a neighbor of the Kushner family.

Talk about a swamp. These people act like they are royalty.
