Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style

[finnbow]

An aspiring country singer and diehard MAGA fan set out to defend Donald Trump’s honor, but wound up in handcuffs instead.

North Carolina insurance salesman and semi-pro musician Stephen Jike Williams, who performs simply as Jike Williams, vowed to execute fact checkers for the “defamation and slander” of the ex-president. When the FBI showed up at his door, Williams threatened the life of a female agent assigned to investigate, according to a criminal complaint first obtained by The Daily Beast.

He then followed up a few days later with additional death threats on TikTok, in a video titled, simply, “Fuck the FBI,” the feds say.

Williams, 42, is now charged with threatening to murder a federal law enforcement officer and transmission of interstate threats. The complaint against him, which was unsealed Friday in North Carolina federal court, says that Williams was incensed over, variously, the 2020 “stolen” election, vaccine mandates, his TikTok account getting suspended, and liberals pushing “anti-Trump propaganda.”

^^^ Some percent of susceptible persons take the 'evil communists stole the elections' propaganda seriously enough to want to kill. Should be a way to hold the propagandists responsible.

^^^A Trumper to the core I met just before the election who was quite talkative also claimed all liberals are evil communists and traitors. Since when did we get transitioned from 'radical soshialists' to 'evil communists'.

I hid my own political leaning and when I half jokingly suggested that its Russians and Cubans are known to be communists, he went on to defend Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Wasn't easy, but I uncovered that Billy Bob is 44 now. So he was around 25 at time of poop-throwing. Old enough to know better!

Speaking of poop, McCarthy is promising to shitcan some of the Dem committee members if he becomes speaker. Looks like he is playing to the lowest common denominator as Rep. Adam Schiff commented just so he can get elected speaker. I did not know that he will have that kind of power. IIRC, Pelosi asked McCarthy to withdraw MTG's nomination.

After Republicans narrowly won control of the House in the midterm elections, McCarthy this weekend doubled down on his pledge to remove several prominent House Democrats from their committee assignments if he becomes speaker. McCarthy said he would not allow Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota to serve on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both of California, on the House Intelligence Committee.

“He will adhere to the wishes of the lowest common denominator,” Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said when asked about McCarthy’s pledge to remove him from the House Intelligence Committee.

If our country survives the shit-show of the coming Repub lead House there should be ample evidence of clear reasons to fling them as far away from our government as possible in 2024.

If this is not for real, it will sound like a one liner from Colbert.

“Look at Kari,” he said to Masters in a taped phone call. “If they say ‘how is your family,’ she says the election was rigged and stolen.”

This was said by none other than the TFG.
