The Many Faces of US Politics...

Like the Nazis after the war...."It was all Hitler's doing"

I did find this tweet very funny

Since Sarah Palin it seems the GOP's preferred archetype for a female politician/empowerment is amateur porn librarian. Meanwhile unattractive, arrogant faux Christian continues a half century run atop the male GOP charts.

I read that the black Capital police officer who was  famously captured on video  tangling with and being chased up a couple of flights of stairs by a white supremacy mob,  was actually luring them away from the senate chamber into an opposite direction   He instinctively deployed the oldest trick in the 'how a black man can escape imminent white mob danger', as outlined in that famous Blazing Saddles sketch. The endangered black man has to throw the mob a bait which appeals to their white supremacy prejudices and their stupidity overwhelms any residues of rational appreciation of the situation,  allowing the black man to  not only single-handedly save democracy but also to live and fight another day.

Nice story (if it's true)

Anything I see Shaun King pushing I'm automatically skeptical

Looks like it's true alright

It's a pity he didn't shoot a couple of the cvnts

The Washington Post has a new video of the shooting of Ashli Babbit. It shows more of the leadup to it and is about 3 minutes long

There's all sorts of wrong with that.

The cops abandoning their post 30 seconds before the shooting?

Then one of the rioters start shouting "there's a gun" and they keep trying to bust through??

The name of the rioter you are referring to is John Sullivan, do a thorough investigation on him.
Also do likewise with Jacob Anthony Chansley. The events of January 6th, 2021 will come more clearly into focus.

Or you could just tell me straight out why I shouldn't believe my google search that tells me the first guy wasn't involved, and the second guy isn't a right wing nutjob?

Now please don't be so lazy. You will need to learn how to do a proper investigation. No wonder the world is in such a mess.

The first guy was questioned/arrested or possibly protected and then released, I wonder why?

The second guy will probably go through with the charade as he is protected.

So one guy is a reporter and the other guy is a Qanon/Trump follower.   And your point is ... The Fake News are setting us up.... You are going to have to help me understand how you come to that conclusion.

Just because John Sullivan stated in the Capitol murder video that he is a reporter you believed him and that was good enough for you as it suited the mainstream media narrative. The Prussian Education System can only be accountable for so much.

Sullivan is a BLM/Antifa leader and a very radical one at that. He is founder of Insurgence USA an organizational site for the recruitment and mobilization of domestic terrorism. He was arrested on July on accusations of rioting, making a threat of violence, and criminal mischief due to his part in a protest that resulted in the shooting of a motorist. Here is a video of him inciting the crowd in one of his many rallies.

"We have to rip Trump out of that fcking office over there..."

Sullivan uses the moniker "Jayden X" online and he tweeted the following before the Jan 6th Stop The Steal Protest:

Chud Alert: Trump Supporters targeting BLM Supporters Buses and attempting to gather pictures and addresses of where they were staying, #trumpintel #fucktrump # counterintel #chudalert


Further proof that BLM/Antifa supporters were bused in for the Jan 6th event.

Flyer for John Sullivan's Insurgence USA rally to infiltrate and thwart the Trump peaceful protest read the following:

KICK THE FASCISTS OUT OF DC JANUARY 6TH, 2021. DUMP TRUMP FOR GOOD. LOCATION WASHINGTON MONUMENT 11:00AM


He took a 50 minute video of the protest and was complicit in the murder of Ashli Babbitt as he incited three rioters to break the glass of the doors and window moments before.

He was interviewed by Police who used his video as evidence to arrest Trump supporters. He then went on his merry way. Why was this criminal not arrested?


Sullivan was a US Olympian and comes from a wealthy family.


As for Jacob Anthony Chansley, also going by the name Jake Angeli, an Actor/Voice Over, Artist/Singer and also an Agent Provocateur who plays both sides of the equation. An intelligence asset.

He has also played the role of a Left Wing Activist on September 20th, 2019 when hundreds marched in Arizona in solidarity with climate strikes around the world.

"Jake Angeli, shamanic practitioner, leads the crowd in a yell before the march in solidarity with climate activism groups across the country in the Arizona State Capital Building Friday, September 20, 2019"

That being said in your post,

Should Trump be charged with the same thing?

The Confederacy was founded and sustained by Democrats and opposed by Republicans. Nothing that has happened in the past decade or any decade can rewrite the history of a century and a half previously, and even the history of Strom Thurmond's era.

No wonder you and the left in general want to dump all the historical evidence in school names, statues etc.

Five Points ...Do me the courtesy of reading this article. Admittedly not coming out of a stable in which you would park your horse but it might give you some perspective in how the Republican Party has evolved. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/04/the-american-civil-war-didnt-end-and-trump-is-a-confederate-president

Whataboutery. It wasn't a future Republican President who eulogised a notorious racist only 17 years ago. The GOP may well have evolved (I haven't even contested that) but the evidence that the Democrats have is weak.

And now it is sustained by Republicans and fought bitterly against by Democrats

Your last sentence sort of gives the game away as to your views on the Confederacy

...so bitterly that they nominate Thurmond's eulogist for President.

My sides.

No, your attempt to equate the GOP's decades-long southern strategy with Biden, at the request of Thurmond himself, delivering a eulogy at a friends funeral, is empty and either ignorant or dishonest.

What possible purpose could it serve Biden, a centre-left long-term Senator from Delaware, beyond doing a favour for the family of a friend?

If politics was the issue, Biden was more likely to offend his liberal Democrat base than to win any votes among conservatives (who wouldn't be voting for him anyway!).

Nobody reaches the top in politics anywhere without pandering to as many elements as possible of their party's base. Biden clearly thought there was a political benefit to him in pandering to Thurmond's racist southern Democrat base and its nostalgia for the Confederacy.

Thurmond's racist southern Democrat base who migrated to the GOP 35 years earlier. Those people are what Biden was concerned about? Not his liberal base back in Delaware, a state with more than a quarter of its population made up of minorities (more than 20% black)?

You go ahead and cling to your tiny bone and ignore all relevant details and facts. I'm done wasting my time with your bad faith "arguments ".

This cracks me up. Biden had Delaware in his pocket long before 2003.

[Rossfan]

So Biden knew in 2003 he'd be a Presidential candidate 17 years later??

[J70]

So Biden knew in 2003 he'd be a Presidential candidate 17 years later??

Yes. He knew that Jim Clyburn would rally the black community of SC to rescue his candidacy. THAT is why he gave a eulogy for Thurmond apparently (despite in reality not) honouring the confederacy and segregation.

He had already contested the Democratic races in 1984 and 1988.
