Congratulations on your retirements, Ron and Paul!

 

As long as I went off topic...  Thank's Bob, Richard, Paul and you.  Congrat's to Paul as well from me.  

W. you might appreciate this.  Heck you may own it.  Because of photos and a poster in my office and my frequent yapping about Colorado my coworkers bought me a book about it.  A big one, 12 X 16", must weigh near ten pounds.  A picture book so to speak (with historical and modern context).  Colorado, W H Jacksons 1870 photos retaken, in color by John Fielder.  It's stunning.  The yeti ice chest from he University is cool as well.

Back on topic that new Colorado Congress Woman should not be allowed access to the chamber if she can't follow the rules.  Heated conversations take place there, no place for guns among those arguing.

Jan. 6 Rally Funded by Top Trump Donor, Helped by Alex Jones, Organizers Say

Wall St. Journal 01/30/2021

https://www.wsj.com/articles/jan-6-rally-funded-by-top-trump-donor-helped-by-alex-jones-organizers-say-11612012063

“The rally in Washington’s Ellipse that preceded the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was arranged and funded by a small group including a top Trump campaign fundraiser and donor facilitated by far-right show host Alex Jones.

Mr. Jones personally pledged more than $50,000 in seed money for a planned Jan. 6 event in exchange for a guaranteed “top speaking slot of his choice,” according to a funding document outlining a deal between his company and an early organizer for the event.

Mr. Jones also helped arrange for Julie Jenkins Fancelli, a prominent donor to the Trump campaign and heiress to the Publix Super Markets Inc. chain, to commit about $300,000 through a top fundraising official for former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, according to organizers. Her money paid for the lion’s share of the roughly $500,000 rally at the Ellipse where Mr. Trump spoke.”

If Trump can be impeached for inciting the riot, why can't we arrest the people who paid for it?

WTF are two Capitol Police dead by suicide?  Who's getting blamed for what in that force?

When front-line people kill themselves over events instigated and abetted by the powerful, Congresss should be asking questions.

Agree. Mighty weird. And we all know that ‘suicide’ can be murder.

Ron,

      I'm familiar with John Fielder's work.  Good stuff.

     As for Lauren Boebert, it's appalling that she would be elected to Congress from any district in the U.S.

     Rural counties in Colorado have always been staunchly Republican, like most of the Wild West.

This whole January 6th episode, if its fully investigated, will unravel just how bad the GOP has become.

Which is pretty awful.  As Scott Stevens wrote in his book, the modern GOP is so far away from the fifties that its like a new party.  They stand for virtually nothing, except to destroy whatever was left of liberalism.  Its sort of like Hobbes' rule of the jungle.  This is how reliant they have become on the super wealthy.  The Mercer family should be outlawed. The mob relied on Parler to maneuver around the Capitol on January 6th.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Democrats are just going to rush through this thing and fail for a second time, when new evidence could be coming in after it's finished. If there's an eventual goal of prohibiting Trump from running again,  I don't know what the hurry is.  They've got a few years, but realistically it should be done this year.

They could just postpone the start,  lie low, continue with their legislative agenda, and let the DOJ investigation take it's course, and then proceed, and continue to let Vance and the New York courts and whatever other state courts prosecute Trump.

You will be happy to know that former Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin's wife, Louise Linton, has starred in a 2021 B-grade movie as a sex-crazed, cannibal, nymphomaniac.

Ah, these Trump people. They're my heroes.

When I grow up, I want to be just like them.

The company you keep?

 Does threesome loving, Donald "Grab Em By The Pu$$Y" Trump endorsing Jerry Falwell Jr. ( and his wife?) know of Ms. Linton? 

Evangelicals, take heart.

Your Christian value leader and his revered DT know best.
