Who needs Heaven and Hell, when you have America where Good and Evil, fight it out in public community meetings.





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Colorado 9 News: US state Colorado gun stores owner calls for the killing of President Biden

Conservative political activist and gun store owner Joe Oltmann, who has long used violent political rhetoric, is now calling for the execution of President Joe Biden.

Oltmann made the comment Friday on his Conservative Daily political program, which streams online and on MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell’s far-right broadcast network, FrankSpeech .

Oltmann was reacting to President Joe Biden’s support for a ban on so-called assault weapons in his Thursday State of the Union address to Congress.

“I have gun stores and ranges,” Oltmann said. “I’m not taking one gun off the shelf.”

“That is the definition of treason, and he should be hung by the neck until he’s dead,” Oltmann said. “That’s the consequence. And you say, 'Oh my gosh, you're calling for his death.' I’m calling for him to be put on trial, held responsible for hurting Americans, for standing against the Constitution we have. And the consequence of that should be, and is up to, death.”

Oltmann is the founder of FEC United, a political group that has collected signed loyalty pledges from Republican elected officials and candidates in Colorado. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes FEC United as “an anti-government group with its own militia.”

The NY Times - Chief Justice Roberts Rejects Peter Navarro’s Last-Ditch Bid to Avoid Prison

 

18 March 2024

 


Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. ruled on Monday that Peter Navarro, a trade adviser to Donald J. Trump during his presidency, must start serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress while he pursues an appeal.

 

Mr. Navarro, who refused to comply with a subpoena seeking information about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, must report to a federal prison in Miami on Tuesday, making him the first senior aide to Mr. Trump to serve time in connection with the plot to overturn the 2020 election.

Jim Jordan needs to be next, especially as he has been running around threatening people with prison for the same offence he committed.

I would ask the question "doesn't this guy know when to stop?" But then I think he's too wrapped up/invested in Trump's election fraud lies to simply walk away at this point. Unsurprisingly, the orange buffoon does approximately 0 to help this guy, despite him being one of his bigger cheerleaders for a long time.

Interesting how this deplorable guy (or kid), who thought he was all tough with his guns, flees the stage once he gets challenged on what he's said, and then blames it on "a time limit" 🙄

Far-right Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene after shooting far-right House speaker Mike Johnson with a concealed gun:

"Stop being such a big baby. I shot you with a 22 to the gut. It was just my way of saying this town's not big enough for the two of us. Ain't me who's gonna leave." :)

The Guardian: Marjorie Taylor Greene files motion to remove House speaker Mike Johnson

The far-right Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor-Greene filed a motion to remove Mike Johnson as House speaker on Friday but did not pull the trigger on a move that would probably pitch Congress into a repeat of chaos seen last October, when the right ejected Kevin McCarthy.

Speaking after Johnson relied on Democratic votes to pass a $1.2tn spending bill and avoid a government shutdown, Greene said her motion was meant as “more of a warning than a pink slip” because she did not want to “throw the House into chaos”.

Claiming to be a Republican “member in good standing”, Greene said her motion was “filed, but it’s not voted on. It only gets voted on [when] I call it to the floor for a vote.”

Speaking to a scrum of reporters on the Capitol steps, she said: “I’m not saying that it won’t happen in two weeks or it won’t happen in a month or who knows when. But I am saying the clock has started. It’s time for our conference to choose a new speaker.”

... it was the latest dramatic expression of House Republicans’ inability to govern themselves.

McCarthy became speaker in January 2023, but only after 15 rounds of voting as the pro-Trump far right hauled him over the coals.

In October, another far-right Republican, Matt Gaetz of Florida, used a concession won in that January battle by introducing a motion to [eject Republican Kevin McCarthy], the first ever ejection of a speaker by their own party.

The deeply religious Johnson succeeded McCarthy as a candidate acceptable to the far right, but only after more than three weeks

Marjorie Taylor Greene called out for warning of terrorism while peddling defund the FBI t-shirts.

Homeland Security Committee voted to bring two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to a vote of the full House, for failing to secure the border:

MTG: "Let's talk about border patrol apprehensions between point of entry at the Southwest border of terrorists"

Senator on Homeland Security Committee replies "I have to say it is pretty rich hearing the gentlelady from Georgia express her concern about terrorism when she literally was selling defund the FBI t-shirts and hats on her website for $30 apiece.

$30 for the shirts and another $30 for the hats. You don't get both for just the $30

The leading law enforcement agency tasked with combating terrorism in this country and keeping people safe, and she wants to defund it.

So I not going to take any lectures from her on securing this homeland from terrorists"

The fallout continues from a deplorable getting a job after she peddled so many lies.

 

The problem with the McDaniel appointment for NBC News is that, unlike regular politicians, she has no constituency of her own, a point made by University of Maine scholar Michael Socolow on X Sunday. “MAGA doesn’t like or respect her, and neither do Democrats. Who’s she going to draw to the television screen?” he wrote.

 

This is a good point - who exactly is NBC expecting to pull in by having her on their shows?

...and just a couple of days later, a complete turn-around:

Query, if they pay her out the entire year of her contract, does she legally have a leg to stand on?
