Republicans hate the police, except when the police are breaking the law for them.

The whole blue line thing is not about law and order, it is about enabling criminality in the police for partisan gain.

Why would I honor someone for stopping me in my plans to overthrow the government?

From what I recall the ones who gave an opinion on why they voted against it was they objected to the bill calling the insurrection an insurrection.

What in the actual fuck you want the bill to describe it as? A violent riot in an attempt to circumvent a constitutional process?

We have a word for that. Insurrection.

 

[HomerJS]

According to Ron Johnson white people committing an insurrection isn't a crime.

mmmmm delicious virtue signaling via using the tax dollars we pay for congress to be in Washington.

I thought the capital police were the entire reason it went as far as it did - they were fat, lazy, and taking selfies with the protestors?


Can you dumb twats make up your mind on which victimhood you're going for? It makes a big difference in what WAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE to call for you.`

"I thought" is something I'm sure you will never be guilty of. Only in your mind the good and brave members of the capitol police are not deserving of any recognition.

The FBI will deal with the crooked ones. You can go back to tickling Ron Johnson's balls.

Not just that, he calls them "patriots".

I disagree with your assessment. Also, fuck off traitor.

Why can’t it be both. Hold those accountable who posed for selfies and possibly didn’t do their jobs right AND honor those who served honorably?
Why does it have to be an either or thing?

The police taking selfies are one thing, but for the most part the problem was that there were too few of them to handle a riot. Those clips of officers letting people in? That's because they knew they'd be overwhelmed if they tried to fight back. As was later confirmed, the rioters were happy to attack officers.

Also, 'virtue signalling' is not a uniquely left-wing phenomenon, and bills like this neither consume a lot of energy nor should be terribly difficult to vote for. This clearly had broad bipartisan support; the only ones who didn't vote for it were, that I can see, diehard Trumpists who didn't like a spade being called a spade.

I'm not quite 50 yet, but everything hurts.

Yep, from the story:
"All of the bill’s opponents, except for Massie, voted to object to state’s electoral votes in the presidential election in the hours after the insurrection. "

 

[tweaker2]

Well based on the fact that the election was stolen from Trump and the peaceful protesters who were allowed access inside the Capitol where they were given guided tours sponsored by Pres. Trump himself are patriotic Americans who were peacefully expressing their first amendment rights by lightheartedly and jokingly chanting death threats against certain politicians while redecorating and customizing certain features of the building au gratis and accepting free mementos of their visit to the Capitol, I'd say from that accurate and honest description of that day, those 12 Repubs and ONLY those 12 Repubs who voted no should be hailed as Heroes of the Motherland (or is it Fatherland?) for their courage in pointing out what was in actuality a plot to paint the peaceful gathering of loyal Americans as a riot perpetrated by antifa thugs.

What violence? There was no violence. Only the violence of virtual imagined BLM's and Antifa's ...

Ok. Something is wrong here. Not only with Ron but this is the most recent glaring example. Who the hell is writing his materiel? Where is he getting this from? And who has a gun to his head to get him to say this crap out loud in front of a camera? Same shit with ex. Rand Poul?
Who is pushing their buttons? Its not Trump. He aint no player like that. Is it Russian kompromat? What the fuck is it????
Someone get a hold of Rons head of staff and get him/her to spill the beans... wtf is going on.

 

[ivwshane]

Real Patriots literally take shits on our capital. Those are the well intentioned and good Americans Ron Johnson is talking about!

The fun's just begun. To paraphrase Hyman Roth, I'd give a million bucks just to put my left arm through my shirt hole without it hurting.

Only way he could do that is if he has a tongue piercing

 

[Puffnstuff]

After Trump does any of this really shock you at all?

Not quite 50 either but comparing myself to my friends of old it seems like I have a leg up on them... I contribute that to 30+ years of resistance training. Who knew. Use it or lose it.

The problem when you get to be my age, is that, you take a break, and everything goes to shit real fast. Plus making up for, oh 30 years of neglect doesn't help.

I guess they just opted out of protection.
