You don’t need to have heard President Trump’s words this week to know he didn’t incite anyone into claiming a free tour of the Capitol Building. That no news outlet or talking head quotes any of the President’s words is all you need to know. If he did make statements inciting the crowd they would have been repeated so often by now that you’d never forget them. It’s not brave or right to denounce someone simply because everyone else is doing so. So fair play to Alan Dershowitz. This is not the first time he has defended a political opponent simply by sticking to principle –
The Democrats know that there is no case for impeachment. They are simply demonstrating yet again that the left never passes up an opportunity. An impeachment would be a hand grenade tossed into the GOP. Dems know that some Republicans would vote Aye and that this will split the party. A Republican voting to impeach would likely be primaried by their own side. It would be an internal war. Senior Dems don’t give a stuff about Trump. He’s as good as gone. Their play is all about the future and destroying the GOP.
A single Trump Rally broke into a riot at the end 5 people died. No matter how you speak on this, what side you are on it was an outrage. Everyone of the people involved should be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
What I have witnessed here on this site, in the MSM, and everywhere you look CNN, MSNBC, FNC, you name it, all of a sudden this sort of behavior is not acceptable.
Why Not ? For 6 months we were told that this sort of behavior was fine and acceptable, Kamala Harris said “the Protests” were going to continue until the election and after get used to it. Nancy Pelosi when asked about mobs throwing statues in the Bay response was “it’s what people do” I could cite over a dozen Democrats that came out in support of BLM/Antifa looting and burning, to the seizing of a 4 block section of a city and claiming independence.
Democrat Politicians and the MSM as well as some of you cheered this behavior, but now Oh my……
Donald Trump held over 200 Rallies during his campaign and Presidency…. this one is the only one that erupted into violence….AND EVERYONE ON THE RIGHT HAS CONDEMNED IT unlike what we have had to stomach for the past ten months.
This clip is just the Violence in DC from Joe Biden Supporters made 3 months ago….. this is Just DC and the riots continue long after this film was made.
You that have finally found a voice against this type of behavior I would cheer you coming to your senses, except you haven’t. The TarPit of hypocrisy and bullshit is so deep you can’t swim threw it, it will suck us all down to our deaths, a tar pit as black as the soul of the hypocrites that it’s spewing from.
You may have a new found sense of rage over violence in politics, but this is the bull you’ve had us swallow and told to accept.
Just before the sun went down on Friday in Brooklyn, some of my Orthodox besties got together to produce a song in tribute to Donald Trump. Enjoy. It’s gonna be huuge.
Moderna’s vaccine was approved in the UK today. If Guido is correct that means the UK has ordered: Pfizer (40 million); Oxford (100 million) and Moderna (17 million).
At trial stage are vaccines in development by Janssen, Novavax, GSK/Sanofi and Valneva delivering a potential 340 million doses.
I know there’s been a bit of immigration but some 500 million doses seems rather excessive. We’ll be finding them in Christmas crackers and cereal boxes for years. Still, can’t complain. Three working vaccines within a year of a novel virus is pretty impressive.
The answer to an abnormal week for many is a little normality. Therefore the show must go on. Jamiroquai popped into my mind for some reason. Any ideas why? They weren’t really my bag but Virtual Insanity was a banger. I did consider posting that somewhat apt number.
However normal for me is older than that. So I’m sinking into some of this, Johnny Cash joining Bob Dylan on “One Too Many Mornings”. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe. As always, feel free to post your top sounds down below –
Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, who had “ physically engaged “ with rioters on Wednesday has died. Full details are not known, there are reports that they hit him in the head with a fire extinguisher.
The late officer apparently was a Trump supporter. He served in the Middle East with the National Guard.
Officer Sicknick was a native of South River, NJ, an area that I know reasonably well.
I hope that the killers are found and convicted soon.
For days before , the “ storming of the Capitol “ had been in the works, publicized on social media. When you storm a building, or when you light the fuse from a well protected stage minutes before, you are well aware that things like this will happen.
The volume of outrage is deafening, and where I agree that it’s Justified it is also a clown show.
OMG a Protest got violent….. what rock have you crawled out from under? Have you not watched every protest for the past year? Cut me a break from your crocodile tears of concern, your hair pulling outrage, and especially your pointing accusatory finger.
Yes it’s tragedy in a year of successive tragedies. If the screaming that is being done now had been ringing out for the last six months of tragedies I might take your outrage as sincere. Your outrage has been nonexistent, a quip here, a condemnation there, and god forbid no one, no party was responsible. The show being put on now by those screaming is theater and bad satire at that.
Shit happens, people died. People and Cops have been dying in riots for the past year, people and cops are going to die in riots this upcoming year. If you hold the values of accepting violence as part of the political fare this is the price we pay. That is always the result when that path is chosen, people die.
So vent your outrage, shame it took you so long to get here, a lot of us have felt that outrage for months and you’ve laughed at us. Maybe you should think on that. The Justified anger you’re feeling we’ve been feeling for months.
ATW does not operate on fresh air! We have running costs and if you want to give us a hand, once a year, then HIT THE TIP and feed the beast that is our hosting company!
What's that sound? It's the tears of feral Twitter when it realises it does NOT have any right to abuse me. Bless.
THE PRICE OF REWARDING TERRORISM
You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.
