The Bulwark: The Attack on Democracy Is Not Over. It’s Still Happening. Right Now.

Tim Miller takes the GOP to task, with several concerning bullet points, for continuing to feed the T**** base.

“Now consider how Republicans in government are continuing to try to derail the transfer of power:

Norfolk FBI warned HQ of the looming Capitol attack the day before it happened.

If this is paywalled, the gist is that the Norfolk office of the FBI received information about the planned attack on the Capitol and shared it with the FBI headquarters the day before it happened. One of their social media intercepts included in their report is both chilling and informative . . .

“As of 5 January 2021, FBI Norfolk received information indicating calls for violence in response to ‘unlawful lockdowns’ to begin on 6 January 2021 in Washington. D.C.,” the document says. “An online thread discussed specific calls for violence to include stating ‘Be ready to fight. Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Pantifa slave soldiers being spilled. Get violent. Stop calling this a march, or rally, or a protest. Go there ready for war. We get our President or we die. NOTHING else will achieve this goal.”

Mo Brooks’ speech is a call for violence, no doubt about it.

“After exhorting the crowd, telling them that “today is the day for patriots” to start “taking names and kicking ass,” Brooks went even further, invoking the spirit of American revolutionaries who “sacrificed their blood” and “sometimes their lives” on behalf of the country.

“Are you willing to do the same?” he then asked the crowd. “Louder! Are you willing to do what it takes to fight for America? Louder! Will you fight for America?”

“Today is the day…”. I suppose it was Mo, I suppose it was. Watching police get assaulted, clubbed, dragged down steps by yellow bellied thugs is hard to reconcile. But Mo did it. He is slated to be censured, but he should face incitement charges. His words could not be any more clear for a call for bloody violence. Of course, this was all part of the Trump rally to insurrection.

Kim’s Idea

My wife, Kim, has an idea for President Trump: Assuming he isn’t pursuing other plans (martial law and such) he should offer to take over Rush Limbaugh’s radio show after leaving office.

The idea sounds brilliant to me. (It certainly proves, in case anyone needed it, that I’m not the smartest person in the world.)
