Prickly City by Scott Stantis for June 12, 2021

I wonder what would happen if my “friends” and I went down to Mar-a-LARDO and acted like that??? Would we be called “tourists???” I think NOT!!!

(O _ O)

Which Republican* Congressmen were the ones who gave reconnaissance tours the day before?

Of course Republican* legislators, with few exceptions, spit on the Capitol Police who risked their lives protecting those same Republican* legislators.

.

Because they are ‘Patriots’.

Careful, Scott. The MAGAts will cancel you like they did Liz Cheney.

Tourists be loco!

No, no !! These are very cleverly disguised Antifa fighters …. you tell by the MAGA hats, flags, the t-shirts commemorating the date, the military style organizations, the zip tie handcuffs, that weirdo in the buffalo hat with a spear, all the cans of bear spray, etc.

These people aren’t human. They’re evil, malign little homunculi.

Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers

Late on the night of April 24, the wife of Georgia’s top election official got a chilling text message: “You and your family will be killed very slowly.”

A week earlier, Tricia Raffensperger, wife of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, had received another anonymous text: “We plan for the death of you and your family every day.”

That followed an April 5 text warning. A family member, the texter told her, was “going to have a very unfortunate incident.”

But many others whose lives have been threatened were low- or mid-level workers, just doing their jobs. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric could reverberate into the 2022 midterm congressional elections and the 2024 presidential vote by making election workers targets of threatened or actual violence. Many election offices will lose critical employees with years or decades of experience, predicts David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research.

San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong on Friday announced he’s resigning his position and leaving the area — exactly one month after enduring hours of election misinformation and racism at a Board of Supervisors meeting. . . . During the meeting, Gong and his staff sat through hours of calls from voters reading scripted comments full of conspiracy theories and pushing for state-level changes he can’t implement.

If you can’t destroy the institution, destroy it’s processes. It amounts to the same thing, in the end.

Snacks? The traitors are storming a snack bar? WTF!?

Storming Congress in a ridiculous insurrection is equal to storming a snack bar?

What WERE you thinking of, Scott?

Don’t have the balls to represent the truth? The traitors stormed the Capitol building trying to stop a valid election from being certified. Not a F%#king snack bar.

Is There a Way to Dial Down the Political Hatred? By Molly Worthen — We have transformed political hatreds into a form of idolatry. Political hatred has become Americans’ animating faith, a chief source of existential meaning. Dr. Patel, the interfaith leader, cautioned against letting all the gloomy pronouncements about prehistoric instincts and sectarian tendencies dictate Americans’ political destiny. “Human beings were made to be moderate. We are naturally moderate. I think there is a deep exhaustion in finding an enemy everywhere and turning everything into a fight.”

Humans may be wired to need some kind of faith, but we are not fated to be fanatics. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/11/opinion/god-religion-politics-partisanship.html

Worst tourist attack in our country’s history.

Thanks to those who posted links. Have a blessed weekend my friends.

I learn a few new things here once in awhile and today I have learned that contempt can be used to virtue signal.

Trump likes fast food, not surprised if he funded a bunch of junk food.

Amazing that cartoonists are totally fascinated by the one right wing riot, but totally ignore the constant riots in places like Portland Oregon.

Worse than Black Friday at Walmart.

Wait! All these comments and no Cacklin’ Rosie! What’s going on?

Monday down south
