Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style

A U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist has been arrested after federal investigators uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition in his Maryland home that authorities say he stockpiled to launch a massive domestic terror attack targeting politicians and journalists.

Christopher Paul Hasson called for “focused violence” to “establish a white homeland” and dreamed of ways to “kill almost every last person on earth,” according to court records filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland. Though court documents do not detail a specific planned date for an attack, the government said he had been amassing supplies and weapons since at least 2017, developed a spreadsheet of targets that included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and searched the Internet using phrases such as “best place in dc to see congress people” and “are supreme court justices protected.”

Any bets as to whether the Lying Dotard will comment on this planned act of domestic terrorism?

Conservative Christians Claim Ocasio-Cortez Is A Witch Leading Attack Against Trump

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progre...against-trump/

Earlier this month, Dave Kubal, president of the Religious Right group Intercessors for America, explained how Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is connected to “a coven of witches that cast spells on President Trump 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Immediately after interviewing conservative Christian congressman Jody Hice of Georgia during his monthly “prayer call,” Kubal told his followers:

It’s been widely publicized that there is a coven of witches that cast spells on President Trump 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This particular coven is found in the southern portion of New York City.

So, right in the middle of all of this, the southern district, in the middle of where these witches are doing the 24/7 spell-casting, we find the territory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Kubal added:

Her district is in the center of all of this going on. Is this a coincidence? Maybe … Is there an evil thread running through this area, trying to dispel diabolical power?

Mind blowing how malleable and ignorant these folks are. Friends of yours, Whell?

The threatening or troublesome woman is of course a witch! Conservatives preserve the past, in all its glory!

'Burn her!' (Chant coming soon to a rally near you?)

Trump on brink of defeat on border emergency

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...ngress-1185589

President Donald Trump is on the verge of a bipartisan rejection of his emergency declaration at the border in what would be an embarrassing rebuke by a Congress opposed to his immigration agenda.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) on Monday night said he would join Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, along with 47 Senate Democrats to block Trump’s attempts to secure billions for his border wall after lawmakers effectively stiffed him. Now just one more GOP senator’s support for a resolution to block Trump's bid would send the measure to Trump’s desk and force a veto.


“Conservatives rightfully cried foul when President Barack Obama used executive action to completely bypass Congress,” Tillis said in a Washington Post op-ed on Monday night. “There is no intellectual honesty in now turning around and arguing that there’s an imaginary asterisk attached to executive overreach — that it’s acceptable for my party but not thy party.”

Still, there is clear reluctance in the GOP to bucking Trump.

Numerous Senate Republicans say that, like Tillis, they despise Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency to get additional funding for his wall. But most aren’t ready to say they will vote to block him from doing so.

Will the rest of these cowards do the right thing, or stick to their cowardly ways? Stay tuned...

I'm betting on them remaining cowards when it comes to overriding his veto. They're scared to death of his Twitter finger.

GOP leader unsure on legality of Trump’s emergency declaration

Bullsh*t, Mitch. You know good and well it's totally illegal, you're just trying to find a way to keep Donny and the fake right-wingnut "news" media happy. Good luck with that.
