‘I don’t know why there aren’t more uprisings all over the country,'
Quite obviously the left jumped on this statement as proof that Republicans were still trying to incite more violence. Twitter went crazy (even more crazy than normal). Mainstream news services cut programing to bring up the dastardly news. How could anyone, much less a member of Congress make such a wildly irresponsible statement?
Perhaps Rep Gohmert should be facing impeachment right along with the President, huh?
The problem? Gohmert didn't make this statement in response to the recent events at the capital. Gohmert was quoting Nancy Pelosi, who made this statement in response to the burning of several cities in the aftermath of the George Floyd drug overdose.
Now many have since admitted their mistake, and have attempted to justify their rage (albeit a difficult argument). Some have even apologized, sort of. But still others are hanging on to their own rage and anger over this horrible statement and still attributing not only the statement, but the attitude to Republicans.
You can't make this shit up.

FROM THE PULPIT
James Boswell
Jesus warned, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed, for life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. You can gain the whole world, yet lose your soul. ”
Jesus’ emphasis on the unimportance of material possessions seems strange in a society that values “dog eat dog” competition and getting ahead of others, where the bottom line of profitability is often emphasized above all else.
There was a time when American corporations felt an obligation, not just to their stockholders, but to society as a whole, a time when there were wealthy people actually willing and glad to pay higher taxes for the sake of the greater good. (A wealthy friend of mine in Canada still feels that way!)
In those days, corporate well-being was linked to general well-being, and private success contributed to everyone’s success. The rising tide of financial improvement worked not just for the benefit of the wealthy, but for the benefit of the middle class and poor.
Were we as a nation not happier in those post WWII days?
Has Jesus’ gospel of a greater happiness (blessedness) through loving concern for others given way to a false, unsatisfying “gospel of greed”? Have we in America lost our souls to unbridled selfish materialism?
Jesus lived in a time of political complexity. The Jerusalem Temple authorities were wealthy Sadducees who greedily collaborated with the occupying Romans for their own selfish benefit. And the Romans, as Emperor Tiberius cynically remarked, were like flies settling on Israel’s “corpse” for the purpose of sucking away all they could get.
Jesus condemned such selfishness, the selfishness of those who dominate and rule others for their own purposes. He taught that God intends for everyone to serve others lovingly – not rule and exploit each other mercilessly (Mark 10:42-45).
How many American churches only give lip service to this? How many have shirked their gospel duty of condemning greed and domination in every form?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, responding to the recent storming of our Capitol building, was reminded of what happened in Nazi Germany, and how he as a young German Catholic learned that a political leader should have a “servant’s heart,” not that of a dictator.
May we in the coming days be inspired by the joy of creating anew the kind of society that enables us to have “servants’ hearts” toward others.

WASHINGTON — As lawmakers entered the Capitol on Wednesday for one of the most solemn enterprises in American government, the impeachment of a president, Rep. Lauren Boebert was causing a spectacle before even making it into the chamber. She pushed her way through newly installed metal detectors and ignored police officers who asked her to stop so they could check her with a hand-held wand.
This reprised a standoff from the evening before, when Boebert, a freshman Republican from Colorado, refused to show guards what was inside her handbag as she entered the building. In both cases, she was eventually granted access, but not before engineering a made-for-Twitter moment that delighted the far right.
After joining her colleagues Wednesday, Boebert took to the House floor to denounce the vote on impeachment that passed a few hours later.
Scott is a coward. He will never recover from Trumpism.
Some Republicans have listened to this.
“In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience – the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men – each man must decide for himself the course he will follow." -- John F. Kennedy
The ten Republicans have the courage to risk losing their offices, because they have a conscious. Scott is like the President, who is has a pathological mental disorder.
Scott, he said that he's not surprised that more right wing violence hasn't occurred yet!.
He was not encouraging violence from the left.
Get your head out of his asshole!
The looting and burning of several cities in the aftermath of the George Floyd murderis truly unfortunate.
But the President's attempt to overturn the safest election in history is sedition against the Constitution of the United States is an impeachable offense.
good for Louie Gohmert. he accurately quotes denture-sucking cunt Peloshee VERBATIM, and heads explode in nursing homes all across America.
LOL.
The safest election in history and a week later the entire gubment was hacked you drunken sot
affect election in history and a week later the entire gubment
You fucking asshole lying sack of shit!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
The green beret accountant, chairborne Ranger, MOS pie eating
The drunken Cali doesn't understand that 60 lawsuits charging voter fraud have been dismissed by Trump appointed justices.
William Barr said there is no evidence of enough fraud to change the outcome of the election.
Put down the PBR.
Drunken mouth of the south projecting his own innate stupidly with sophomoric UGA humor!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! How's your lake house asshole??????
Mouth of the south always goes personal when he is caught lying like trump....what fucking baby he is!!!!!!!

Article of impeachment Dems passed against Trump is based 100% on conjecture; offers no hard evidence POTUS incited an "insurrection." For trial, facts on defense's side: rioters had PLANNED to "storm Capitol" days BEFORE his speech, in which Trump cautioned to march "peacefully"
I think democrats are direct descendants from those overseeing the Salem Witch Trials.
Oh, and plantation owners.

don't lie alky.
first of all, they weren't all Trump appointed judges.
second, the cases were rejected for "Lack of STANDING", not lack of evidence.
furthermore, there's no way that Barr could've thoroughly looked into the voter fraud allegations in the time he devoted to it, if any.
he didn't even examine it for 30 days before he rendered his decision.
so stop lying alky. you might get 337 like on twatter, but we're all onto you around here.
Republicans insanity
The FBI needs to look into this woman
Meet nutjob Marjorie Taylor Greene
Greene is a Representative for Georgia’s 14 Congressional district.
•She took office January 3, 2021.
•Green intends to file articles of impeachment against President Biden on January 21 for abuse of office of the presidency.
* She claims that Biden will cause violence and we cannot have violence like we did in Washington DC on January 6.
* On her first day in office she wore a mask onto the House floor reading “Trump Won“
* She says she intends to continue “pulling the republican party to the right“
* She opposes the Black Lives Matter movement calling it a “radical Marxist” group
* In a Facebook post in 2017 she said House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, was guilty of treason, “a crime punishable by death“
* Greene claims Hillary Clinton murdered her political enemies
* She claims that a plane never hit the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks
* She says that 9/11 was part of a plot by the United States government
* On January 6, 2021 during the storming of the Capitol she refused to wear a mask while sheltering in place during the riot. She took Scott's advice on masking!
* She and her husband, Perry Greene, own a building contractor construction company in Alpharetta, GA given to them by Margorie’s father. Company name: Taylor Commercial.
first of all, they weren't all Trump appointed judges.
And the dumbest fuck in NY thinks that is a significant event!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! BARR did not have to review anything for 30 days asshole......BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO REVIEW BUT OPINION AND SPECULATION!!!!!!!!! ASSHOLE!

I'm old enough to remember when a real Republican member of the Grand Old Party was the leader of our victory over fascism.
President Dwight Eisenhower.
I didn't agree with Reagan, GHW Bush and George W Bush.
But what the hell happened to the Grand Old Party?
Donald J. Trump has destroyed the GOP.
James is correct.

JAMES now continues:
The Republicans are still making the mistake of employing something like "The Southern Strategy" invented in the days of Nixon:
They wanted the racist votes of white southerners who were upset by the passing of the Kennedy-Johnson civil rights bill.
It worked, for a while.
Now they want the racist vote of all manner of racists, of White Nationalists, of Proud Boys, of Boogaloo Bois, of 3Ppercenters, of the Wolverine Watchmen, of the KKKers, of the Tea Partiers, of the immigrant and Latino and Asian and Native American and Muslim haters, of the QAnon supporters, of the Stop the Steal-ers, of the Neo Nazis, of the Black Hebrew Israelites and National Anarchists (both anti-Semitic) and of many more.
(Representatives of most of those listed above were seen in the Capitol building.)
It is not going to work. Those groups do not represent America, and as long as the GOP tries to include them under its tent, the GOP will keep declining.
REPUBLICANS,
Trump set you on that direction as never before. It is a fatal direction, and unless you reverse it, you will lose.

Social media has become deeply troubling.
retired Pennsylvania firefighter who is suspected of throwing a fire extinguisher at police during last week's US Capitol riots has been arrested, a Justice Department spokeswoman has confirmed.
Robert Sanford, 55, will appear in a virtual hearing in federal court in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Thursday to face charges of unlawful entry, civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding police.
According to court documents, Sanford was captured on video hurling a fire extinguisher at police during the mob attack at the Capitol.
Officials told the Wall Street Journal that Sanford is not the same person suspected of killing Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick after he was struck on the head with a fire extinguisher during the riots.
