So maybe I "should" block this person?

I had had this account on mute... but if I unmute and check, this is what I see in my comment threads?

Eight comments - all but two are memes from this "Roger" guy



I was curious what this Chaz person was referring to, so on a gut instinct guess, I unmuted this account to see if this account was responsible for the many comments I didn't see. There it was. Pure and plain stupidity. I am guessing that this person is the main culprit of the many comments that I don't see.

So what's a person to do? I don't prefer to actually block people from my account. Seems sort of stupid. But when people like this decide to overwhelm your comment threads with nonsense that in the words of "Chaz" is seen as "being retarded" - it makes  it easier to see why people get blocked. Whoever this particular "Roger" character is, he is obviously not all there. Deranged and possibly dangerous?

What do you guys think? Freedom of speech or freedom from stupid harassment?

Lindsey Graham Screamed at Capitol Police Officer
2:05 pm
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told MSNBC that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “screamed” at an officer for not doing “enough” to protect senators as the U.S. Capitol was being breached last week.

Said Brown: “I heard when the 75 senators were confined in a room with about 75 staff people, Lindsey Graham with his mask off started screaming at one of the officers — I think it was one of the captains — saying, ‘How come you didn’t protect us? It’s doing your job.'”


Bill Would Fine Maskless Lawmakers

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) plans to introduce legislation Tuesday to impose a $1,000 fine on members who refuse to wear masks while in the U.S. Capitol complex, the Washington Post reports.

U.S. to Require Covid Tests for International Visitors

“The U.S. government is expected to require all international airline passengers to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test before boarding flights to the country,” the Wall Street Journal reports.


Leahy Wants Hawley, Cruz Off Judiciary Committee
1:34 pm
“Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the incoming Senate president pro tempore, says that Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) should step down from the Senate Judiciary Committee while federal officials investigate the storming of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob last week,” The Hill reports.

Said Leahy: “Both of them wanted to subvert the will of the people, wanted to tell the whole world and the United States that we did not have an honest election. I can’t imagine any senator doing that and then serving on Judiciary.”


GOP Aide Resigns Over ‘Congressional Enables[rs?] of This Mob’
1:31 pm
In a scathing resignation letter, Jason Schmid, a longtime senior House Armed Services Committee staffer, slammed the GOP members of the panel who objected to President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win, particularly after a mob incited by Trump stormed the Capitol last Wednesday and left five people dead, Politico reports.

Wrote Schmid: “Anyone who watched those horrible hours unfold should have been galvanized to rebuke these insurrectionists in the strongest terms. Instead, some members whom I believed to be leaders in the defense of the nation chose to put political theater ahead of the defense of the Constitution and the republic.”

The End of the Republican Party
1:06 pm
Kevin Williamson in
the NATIONAL REVIEW:
“Like its financial counterpart, moral bankruptcy happens two ways: gradually, then suddenly. In 2016, I wrote that the likely outcome of a Trump presidency would be the end of the Republican Party as we had known it. And so it ends for the Grand Old Party: From abolition to anarchy, from republicans to rabble, a bloody-minded, homicidal gang in thrall to the very democracy John Adams warned us about. A dog in this condition would be put to sleep. It would be a piece of mercy.

Pompeo Cancels Trip to Belgium
1:03 pm
“Secretary of State Michael Pompeo canceled a brief trip to Belgium set for Wednesday,” Bloomberg reports.

“The cancellation of the visit, expected to be the last travel of Pompeo’s term, comes as Washington is in turmoil over the assault on the Capitol by a crowd urged to action by President Donald Trump. Pompeo has criticized the attack but not Trump.”

Reuters reports Luxembourg’s foreign minister and top European Union officials declined to meet him.

HOUSE GOP WON’T LOBBY AGAINST TRUMP’S IMPEACHMENT!!!!
2:41 pm
“House Republican leaders have decided not to formally lobby members of the party against voting to impeach President Trump, making a tacit break with him as they scrambled to gauge support within their ranks for a vote on Wednesday to charge him with inciting violence against the country,” the New York Times reports.

“While Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the minority leader, has said that he will ‘personally’ oppose impeachment and sought to steer Republicans in a different direction, his decision not to officially lean on lawmakers to vote against the move constituted a subtle shift away from the president.

“IN THE SENATE, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Republican leader, HAS ALSO CONSPICUOULSY DELINED TO DEFEN MR. TRUMP IN ANY WAY OR TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE IMPEACHMENT PUSH, which — IF IT RESULTED IN A SENATE CONVICTION — COULD BAR THE PRESIDENT FROM HOLDING PUBLIC OFFICE AGAIN.”

Project Veritas released a sting video Tuesday where a man — identified by the independent media org as Michael Beller, principal counsel at PBS — says on video that the children of supporters of President Donald Trump should be seized and placed in “re-education camps.”

“Even if Biden wins, we go for all the Republican voters, and Homeland Security will take their children away, and we’ll put [Trump supporters’ children] into re-education camps,” the man, identified as Beller in the undated video, says.

Trump’s supporters are raising “horrible children” that will become “horrible people,” he continues.

“Kids who are growing up, knowing nothing but Trump, [Trump supporters] will be raising a generation of intolerant horrible people, horrible kids.”

The individual in the video derides Americans as “fucking dumb” before he praises Washington, D.C. — one of the most left-wing and partisan Democrat cities in America — as populated by “educated” residents.

“Americans are so fucking dumb. You know, most people are dumb,” the man says. “It’s good to live in a place [like D.C.] where people are educated and know stuff. Could you imagine if you lived in one of these other towns or states where everybody’s just stupid?”

PBS announced on Tuesday that it fired Michael Beller, its principal counsel, after a Project Veritas investigation revealed Beller’s remarks regarding the seizure and “re-education” of President Donald Trump supporters’ children.

PBS responded to Project Veritas on Twitter. It tweeted, “PBS response to Project Veritas, ‘This employee no longer works for PBS. As a mid-level staff attorney, he did not speak on behalf of our organization, nor did he make any editorial decisions.'”

PBS added:
‘There is no place for hateful rhetoric at PBS, and this individual’s views in no way reflect our values or opinions.’ … ‘We strongly condemn violence and will continue to do what we have done for 50 years – use our national platform and local presence to strengthen communities and bring people together.’

FBI report warned of ‘war’ at Capitol, contradicting claims there was no indication of looming violence.

I don't know if you can read the whole thing. But something stinks

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The FBI official familiar with the document said that within 45 minutes of learning about the alarming online conversation, the Norfolk FBI office wrote the report and shared it with others within the bureau. It was not immediately clear how many law enforcement agencies outside the FBI were told, but the information was briefed to FBI officials at the bureau’s Washington field office the day before the attack, this official said.

The official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss ongoing investigations, added that the report was raw intelligence and that at the time it was written, the FBI did not know the identities of those making the online statements.

The FBI already faces tough questions about why it was not more attuned to what was being discussed in public Internet conversations in the days leading up to the attack, and why the bureau and other agencies seemed to do little to prepare for the possibility of mass violence.

McCONNELL THINKS TRUMP COMMITTED IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES
4:35 pm
“Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has told associates he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, BELIEVING THAT IT WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO PURGE HIM FROM THE PARTY," the New York Times reports.

“At the same time, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader and one of Mr. Trump’s most steadfast allies in Congress, HAS ASKED OTHER REPUBLICANS WHETHER HE OUGHT TO CALL ON MR. TRUMP TO RESIGN IN THE AFTERMATH OF LAST MONTH'S RIOT AT THE CAPITOL."

I WAS RIGHT!

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

The New York Times
Mitch McConnell Said to be Pleased About Trump Impeachment Efforts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party, according to people familiar with his thinking. The House is voting on Wednesday to formally charge Mr. Trump with inciting violence against the country.

At the same time, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the minority leader and one of Mr. Trump’s most steadfast allies in Congress, has asked other Republicans whether he should call on Mr. Trump to resign in the aftermath of the riot at the Capitol last week, according to three Republican officials briefed on the conversations.

While Mr. McCarthy has said he is personally opposed to impeachment, he and other party leaders have decided not to formally lobby Republicans to vote “no,” and an aide to Mr. McCarthy said he was open to a measure censuring Mr. Trump for his conduct. In private, Mr. McCarthy reached out to a leading House Democrat to see if the chamber would be willing to pursue a censure vote, though Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ruled it out.

Taken together, the stances of Congress’s two top Republicans — neither of whom has said publicly that Mr. Trump should resign or be impeached — reflected the politically fraught and fast-moving nature of the crisis that the party faces in the wake of last week’s assault by a pro-Trump mob during a session to formalize President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s electoral victory.

As more violent images emerged on Tuesday from the mayhem wrought by the rioters, including of the brutal attack that ultimately killed a Capitol Police officer, and as lawmakers were briefed about threats of more attacks on the Capitol, rank-and-file Republican lawmakers grew angrier about the president’s role in the violence.

Yet as they attempted to balance the affection their core voters have for Mr. Trump with the now-undeniable political and constitutional threat he posed, Republican congressional leaders who have loyally backed the president for four years were still stepping delicately. Their refusal to demand the president’s resignation and quiet plotting about how to address his conduct highlighted the gnawing uncertainty that they and many other Republicans have about whether they would pay more of a political price for abandoning him or for continuing to enable him after he incited a mob to storm the seat of government.

Making their task more difficult, Mr. Trump has shown no trace of contrition, telling reporters on Tuesday that his remarks to supporters had been “totally appropriate,” and that it was the specter of his impeachment that was “causing tremendous anger.”

Mr. McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, has indicated that he wants to see the specific article of impeachment that the House is set to approve on Wednesday, which is expected to draw support from as many as a dozen Republicans, potentially including Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the party’s No. 3 in the House. But he has made clear in private discussions that he believes now is the moment to move on from the weakened lame duck, whom he blames for causing Republicans to lose the Senate.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

On Monday, Mr. Biden telephoned Mr. McConnell to ask whether it was possible to set up a dual track that would allow the Senate to confirm Mr. Biden’s cabinet nominees and hold a Senate trial at the same time, according to officials briefed on the conversation who disclosed it on condition of anonymity. Far from avoiding the topic of impeaching Mr. Trump, Mr. McConnell said it was a question for the Senate parliamentarian, and promised Mr. Biden a quick answer.

David Popp, a spokesman for Mr. McConnell, declined to comment, pointing a reporter to a speech the senator made from the floor after the attack on the Capitol.

“This failed attempt to obstruct the Congress, this failed insurrection, only underscores how crucial the task before us is for our Republic,” Mr. McConnell said as the Senate reconvened on Wednesday to finish the electoral count disrupted by the siege. “Our nation was founded precisely so that the free choice of the American people is what shapes our self-government and determines the destiny of our nation.”

In the days since the attack, Mr. McCarthy has veered from asking Republican colleagues if he should call on Mr. Trump to resign to privately floating impeachment to his current posture, opposed to impeachment but open to a censure. He even approached Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the majority leader, about a censure vote, saying he could deliver a large number of Republican votes for a formal rebuke if Democrats backed off impeachment.

WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!

GOP Lawmaker Will Vote to Impeach Trump
5:06 pm

Rep. John Katko (R-NY) said today he will vote to impeach President Trump for inciting a riot last week at the U.S. Capitol, the Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Said Katko: “To allow the president of the United States to incite this attack without consequence is a direct threat to the future of our democracy. For that reason, I cannot sit by without taking action. I will vote to impeach this president.”

You have retweeted me about a dozen times in the past few weeks, maybe half of your total tweets in that period. And you've mentioned me and C.H. in two or three tweets as well. Not quite what I'd call "rarely".

It has gotten me coming to this site more frequently the past few weeks, if only to see whether there's any clue here to explain why you're repeatedly going off on C.H. on Twitter and mentioning me in several of those.
