Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan reacts to arrest of armed man near Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh's home in Chevy Chase


Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has commended U.S. marshals and Montgomery County police after they took an armed man into custody near the Chevy Chase home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh early this morning. The California man had allegedly threatened Kavanaugh, and was arrested after law enforcement spotted him near the justice's home at 1:50 AM this morning, ABC News reported

"The heightened security at [the homes of Kavanaugh and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts] began after a request [Virginia] Governor [Glenn] Youngkin and I made to Attorney General [Merrick] Garland last month," Hogan said in a statement. "We will continue to partner with both federal and local law enforcement officials to help ensure these residential areas are secure."

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan had
requested the additional 
law enforcement presence that is
credited with arresting an armed man
near the home of SCOTUS
Justice Brett Kavanaugh

Hogan denounced the threats against justices that have been made since a draft opinion was leaked that indicated the court might overturn Roe v. Wade. "I call on leaders in both parties to condemn these actions in no uncertain terms," Hogan said,

It's a Federal Crime to protest outside of a judges house but the left is a violent mob and there are two-tiers of justice under this administration. If a Democrat wins in Annapolis, crime & violence will be ever more prevalent.

I agree with all four previous comments.
1. The supposed would-be assassin CALLED the police HIMSELF. They hardly can't be given much if any credit for anything.
2. Ol' Larry H. shouldn't break his arm patting himself on his back given (as 2:46 said) that no one should be protesting (let alone trying to kill) SCOTUS justices in front of their homes in the first place.
Were any ever arrested???
Not that I heard about. 😡
3. I find it interesting how the leftist trolls who pop up here on this blog site are completely quiet on this one. 🤔
Maybe they're too busy cheering the attempt on their leftist sites.

"Pure evil."

The guy was taken into custody because he called the cops on himself talking about how he was feeling suicidal and then volunteered that he wanted to kill the justice. This obviously wasn't some master plan of evil incarnate.

They're about to hold J6 hearings referring to "insurrection". Shouldn't Chuck Schumer be held to the same standard?

Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, “you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you, if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Sure seems like more of an insurrection than Trump offering to send Federal Troops on January 2nd, which was refused by both Capitol Police and Democrats, (who by the way were in charge of the Capitol at the time). Maybe have Capitol Police deputy chief, Sean Gallagher testify why he refused AND why doors which can only be opened from the inside were opened.

This is why there is a reckoning coming in November.

@2:46 --When you write, "It is a Federal Crime to protest outsides a judges[sic] house," do you mean it is legitimate for Congress to pass laws that limit Constitutional rights? "Congress shall make no law respecting. . . the right of the people peaceably to assemble," seems fairly unambiguous. How is your referred-to law not a violation of the Constitution, since it imposes restrictions on people who protest? And before you reach for it, *I am not talking about people showing up someplace at one in the morning with a suitcase filled with weapons and designs on assassinations,* I'm talking about a law that was passed with the explicit design of limiting a clearly spelled-out Constitutional right to assemble.

I assume from your support for federal legislation that infringes on people's First Amendment Constitutional rights that you also endorse Congress passing laws placing limits on the Second, or are some Amendments more equal than others?

So sad that 6:35 AM is unable to comprehend the difference as they've been trying to kill the actual First Amendment since Obama. Isn't it the Democrats under Brandon who tried to form the Disinformation Governance Board, (DSG), who wanted to police unapproved opinions? Not quite the same thing as threatening Judges or are Democrats moral compasses so twisted by liberal propaganda that they don't think so.

18 U.S. Code § 1507:
Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.

@1:59 Some people might say the Marin County, CA chaos tourist visiting Kavanaugh's street the other night was simply engaging in some --what was it they called January 6th? Oh, that's right-- "legitimate political discourse."

If I recall correctly, people by the thousands have forever been allowed to scream and picket and protest with jugular-bulging fury in front of the Supreme Court, "a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer," without fear of criminal penalty. Are you suggesting the justices inside are so irresolute, so easily influenced that a couple of dozen dirty hippies and some middle-aged cat ladies banging drums and shouting on a public street outside Kavanaugh's house could plausibly be thought to have "the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer"? Talk about "snowflakes." If the justices are so tractable, so craven, how is it possible they are able to conduct their business at First Street with the myriad brigades of protesters who so regularly assemble outside the Court's doors? Perhaps, rather than any of the residential protesters having delusions of influencing or interfering with Great Judicial Minds, the hippies are simply voicing their frustration and displeasure at the fait accompli of Roe, knowing full well the judge inside gives them no more thought or consideration than he does the gardeners tending his lawn.

PS: Thank you for posting the specific section of the US Code. You make the point for me, that the Bill of Rights is not absolute, that restrictions and limitations may be legally placed upon Constitutional amendments --in this case, the First. 18 USC § 1507 is emphatically a constraint of a Constitution-granted liberty, "the right of the people peaceably to assemble." You apparently find no objection to this constraint. [Before you type even one letter in response, be clear in understanding I am not talking about the guy with the gun, I'm talking about the cat-ladies and hippies on their neighborhood protest marches.] Since you have no objections to the legality and propriety of federal regulations placed on the First Amendment, you will doubtless welcome similar limitations placed on the Second. I'm glad we can count on you to support and promote federal legislation that will be as unobtrusive for 2A gun ownership rights as 18 USC § 1507 is for 1A freedom of assembly rights.

9:23 AM Leaves out an important caveat in that the AG regardless of party cannot pick and choose what laws are valid and which ones are to be ignored. Obama really started this trend of bypassing the legislative branch with countless executive orders and now your hero Brandon. Your memory as well as your temperance shows a clear lack of thought for the other side of the argument but when speaking of the 2nd Amendment, its reductio ad absurdum on display.

Of course you don't want to talk about the consequences of liberal rhetoric which cause death & mayhem throughout this country but your media hides it so well. Why else would liberals remember incidents by city name like Kenosha but can't remember Waukesha. Doesn't fit your narrative of division & hate. What the MSM won't tell you, (and therefore you have no idea), is that the left is the most violent mob in this country. I'm sure you don't support the guy with the gun heading to Chevy Chase but your rhetoric does. If all these 2nd Amendment, (wackos as I'm sure you refer to them as), supporters were as crazy as your side paints them believe me you would know about it.

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is the ironic tag line on the front page everyday of the Washington Post. Funny if it wasn't so sad. It's the left like their reporter Taylor Lorenz who doxxes someone, (who merely re-posts insane liberals social media feeds), and has to leave their house in fear because of death threats yet she cries when she has the same thing done to her, (but she didn't have to move - draw your own conclusions here).

Of course when you do get caught there are two-tiers of justice like the two lawyers found guilty of firebombing a NYC police car who received reduced sentences whereas trespassing in the Capitol gets you no-bail for more than a year and serious Federal time. Remember, PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE, doesn't mean trashing the street, breaking windows and looting. When you tame the mob on your side get back to us for a reasonable discussion.

Dear @5:58, thank you for your polemic.

You --randomly-- mention Waukesha, and it looks like you suggest it is among "the consequences of liberal rhetoric which cause death & mayhem throughout this country." Do you mean the 11/21/21 Christmas Parade attack in where an SUV plowed into a crowd, killed five and injuring dozens? Which narrative does this not fit? Gun violence? You are correct. An SUV is not a gun. The one about courts ignoring First Amendment guarantees re/right to assemble? I think it *does* fit here. Parade-goers' right to assemble were violated by the driver’s actions. Citizens were denied their freedoms because of the actions of others, like when SCOTUS judges deny citizens the right to decide their own medical care or what to do with their own bodies.

How, other than your entirely unsupported contention, is it a "reductio ad absurdum" to expect @1:59, who cites a First Amendment-limiting federal law, --18 USC § 1507, upheld by the courts & placing restrictions on right to assemble-- to accept that limits may thus be equally legally placed on citizens' 2-A rights? "What's sauce for the goose..." as the saying goes. If the First may be legally constrained and circumscribed, so too may the Second, the Fifth, et al. That will rub some the wrong way, insisting the law be applied equally, rather than favorites played. But I have no doubt you, @5:58, as the thoughtful, honest, fair-minded, logical, philosophical, *ethical* person I'm sure you to be, recognize that insisting one amendment is fair game for legal restrictions while a second amendment is sacrosanct makes one look less an adult with whom one may converse reasonably and more like a petulant, cranky child, who wants rules only for others, but none for himself.

You stray ever farther afield, but you mentioned Taylor Lorenz, the WaPo reporter who committed the unforgivable sin of journalism. As part of her investigation for the story about the "Libs of Tik-Tok" Twitter account, Lorenz went to seek comment from/interview the Twitter account owner, going so far as to show up at the doorstep of the subject! Horrors! Have you ever heard such scandal? Well, yes. That's what a reporter is supposed to do, track down the details of a story, even if it means finding & talking to the people being writing about. Lorenz's act, of doing her job properly, was met with volcanic rage from conservatives, who were purple with indignation upon learning the heretofore anonymous Libs of Tik-Tok owner/operator had been identified in the WaPo article. So unseemly, writing a piece outing someone whose Twitter account posted videos of LGBT [frequently teachers,] leading to many of the instructors getting death threats and to being fired from their jobs, even though it *is* legal to be gay, at least for the moment. The way you write it, @5:58, it seems you think the Libs of Tik-Tok owner should have been allowed to stay anonymous, continuing to post videos she knew could lead to death threats and job loss. It seems you're saying *she* should get to out people from anonymous safety, but it's unforgivable for anyone to out *her.* Again, rules-for-thee-but-not-for-me behavior.

Truer words, @5:58! "Remember, PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE, doesn't mean trashing the street, breaking windows and looting. When you tame the mob on your side get back to us for a reasonable discussion." The window-shattering, police-assaulting, club-swinging, bear spray-fogging legions of January-6 seditionists who stormed Congress and chanted "Hang Mike Pence" didn't get your message re/civility & decorum, while the cat-mothers and hippies parading past Kavanaugh and Roberts' houses did. I know, because I live down the street from one of the Justices and I see the demos every Wednesday evening. Another textbook example of psychological projection offered by "your side"-- accusing others of actions that are actually committed by your own side.

7:44 PM is entirely consumed with MSM talking points while the rest of the world can see the truth for what it is. Next you'll be parroting Brandon's claim of "best economy since 1984" or that everything bad is due to Putin, Russia or Trump. You really need to put down the waterpipe and get outside.

The reference to Kenosha & Waukesha, (which, if you were honest, had to research the details), was to highlight the difference in coverage but it seems I need to explain a MSM reporting analogy to you as well. Remember CNN calling a protest "mostly peaceful" while cars & dumpsters were be set on fire? But to liberal apologists J6 is the biggest incident since 9-11, (read your own description which is a carbon copy of the MSNBC report). I would actually be in favor of a J6 hearing that was open to both sides including ALL the evidence & video but your other hero, Nancy Pelosi, has a kangaroo court going that everyone can see, (everyone except water carriers like yourself). Wouldn't be beneficial to have a fair hearing and let the chips fall where they may? No, it doesn't fit the liberal narrative of division & hate.

Love the defense of Taylor Lorenz paragraph which was written to illicit the response expected from a liberal that sees their side as virtuous, (read: all opinions we disagree with must be dealt with harshly), and any other as lies/racist/hate/ pick your commonly used democrat approved adjective to shut down any conversation they can't win on facts.

Do yourself a favor and lookup all the riots, murders and mayhem caused by leftist riots which don't happen in your "protected neighborhood" because an order of magnitude more people did suffer at the hands of your masked "cat-mothers and hippies" than during J6.

Democrats want to eliminate/curtail the 2nd Amendment which only affects people who actually obey the law. What these leftist hypocrites fail to disclose is that they have private security and/or live in safe neighborhoods without having to worry about getting robbed/shot on their way to get $5.50/gal Brandon inspired gasoline. When you pass a new gun restriction, do criminals say: "OMG I need to turn it that illegal gun!", I think not. Not that liberals enforce gun laws on criminals anyway. Remember about a month ago when the DC dog nappers house was raided where they found 1 of the 2 dogs taken, AR15 rifle, multiple semi-automatic handguns, lots of ammunition including large capacity clips AND drugs? The DC AG & Bowser decided not to prosecute the adults or the juveniles. Liberal continue to whine about modifying the 2nd Amendment when they don't enforce the current laws on the books which is why legal gun owners don't trust them. Meanwhile masked ex-convict "cat-mothers and hippies" carry weapons their not suppose to. Maybe 7:44 will bring this up at the next "peaceful assembly" meeting.

Yep, I'm entirely consumed with the MSM talking points, a Venn diagram for which overlaps entirely with facts, whereas you, 6:12, have a 100% overlap with something, but it ain't facts.

What should the coverage of Waukesha have looked like? Should CNN's headline "At least 5 killed after SUV plows into Wisconsin holiday parade" have said something other? Were the 375 stories Google retrieves from cnn.com (search terms waukesha "christmas parade" killed 2021) on the subject inadequate? Were the NY Times' 20 stories insufficient?

You are 100% correct, liberals think the January 6th attempted overthrow of the United States government "is the biggest incident since 9-11." That's because violent sedition and calls for the vice-president to be hanged, is a pretty big deal. Yeah, a bigger deal even than the nationwide BLM riots, which were a pretty big deal, too. Republicans were given the opportunity to have more than two of theri party on the committee investigating January 6th, but when Pelosi objected to *two* of the *five* GOP Reps. offered by super-shrewd mega-brain Kevin McCarthy, he countered the objection by withdrawing *all* his suggestions. Another example of Republicans demanding they have no constraints at all placed on them.

Yes, an examination of the riots, murders, and mayhem in the USA will undoubtedly reveal liberals and registered Democrats were behind some. That investigation would also show many more defendants/convicts were registered Republicans.

Speaking of which..."31 white supremacist group members arrested near Idaho pride event" (You can trust that it's *real* news, not fake. I made a special effort to seek out a Fox station for the headline.) Sure sounds like some non-Democrats were bent on some violence.

Go back to your crayons, @6:12. Your mommy needs to be more careful before she lets you play on the computer.

It's always refreshing to get lectured by a limousine liberal that tells us whether or not we little people should have the right to defend ourselves all while sitting behind taxpayer funded security.

The point about Waukesha, (which you've completely missed and need a gradeschool explanation for), is that a hate crime was committed by someone induced by leftist rhetoric while the MSM accused Rittenhouse of being a white supremacist. Good thing some of those networks have paid a financial price for lying with more yet to go. All the while, you and your fellow travelers of the left were "peacefully assembling" by burning cities. Look up Bill Maher's take on the NYT's coverage of Kavinaugh's while you try to justify their coverage of Waukesha.

The fact that there is someone other than Brandon & Kamala who believe the J6 is the biggest incident since 9-11 tells every sane person how twisted logic has let to a serious mental deficiency. Let's have a trial by jury and put 3-Trump supporters, another far-right supporter and another juror who has a kid who plays on the same team as the defendant's kid. That sounds fair right? The trouble with liberals is that they have no moral compass and everything is justified by feelings instead of facts. The DC non-prosecution of criminals found with illegal weapons & drugs illustrates why objective adults need to be in charge.

I like the crayon reference in that it demonstrates whom we have to deal with and overcome.

@11:44AM: “What happens when "by any means necessary" is taken to its logical conclusion.” You mean the guy thinks better of it and calls police to surrender himself. Far different from the *actual* pure evil of Michael Griffin, Paul Hill, John Salvi, Eric Rudolph, James Kopp, Scott Roeder, and Robert Dear, each of whom followed through on plans to assassinate doctors or healthcare workers who performed abortions.

@5:58AM: “Obama really started this trend of bypassing the legislative branch with countless executive orders and now your hero Brandon.” Sadly, no. Executive Orders are as old as the Republic, with George Washington having signed eight himself. President Obama was nowhere near the most frequent user of the device. You can check for yourself at this site, https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/executive-orders but I’ll give you a hint of what’s in store: of the top ten most prolific EO presidents, seven were Republicans: Coolidge, 1,203; Teddy Roosevelt, 1,081; Hoover, 968; Taft, 724; Harding, 522; Eisenhower, 484; Reagan, 381. Yes, the most prolific of all time was a Dem, FDR, with 3,721 to his 12-and-change years in office; Wilson, 1,803; and Truman, 907.

If you mean in “modern times”: Clinton, 364, (avg 46/yr); W. Bush, 291, (avg 36/yr); Obama, 276, (avg. 35/yr); Trump, 220, (avg 55/yr); Biden 90, (avg 67/year) So, EOs have always been used, seven of the top ten most frequent users were Republicans, and Obama signed barely more in his eight years in office than did Trump in his four. Yep, Biden is a high per-year signer. I guess that’s what happens when every piece of legislation you try to pass needs 60 votes to clear a Senate bent on sinking any bill, for no better reason than its threat of being signed into law by a Democratic president. Very mature behavior, senators.

@7:56AM: So funny those Tik-Tok posters received death threats only after their videos appeared on the Tik-Tok site.

So 4:41 believes that Senator's are immature if they don't go along with their party in passing legislation via the "nuclear option". Harry Reid and Democrats learned thus the hard way by pulling the trigger on Judge's with a simple majority thinking short term that the other party wouldn't be in power for a long time.

Liberals are like little children when they don't get their way and forget there are always consequences to actions long term. So while they control the WH, Senate and House, eliminating the filibuster and expanding SCOTUS seem like a good idea to pass insane legislation, I can see outrage when the other party does the same thing.

You Democrats should all be happy right now as you've completely destroyed the southern border and flooded the country with sex traffickers and fentanyl. 20% of this country is now under jurisdiction of an AG/prosecutor sponsored by your pimp George Soros and thus crime is now rampant. Look at any list of the 10 deadliest cities and they're setting records. A true testament to Democrat's power ambitions and the consequences when the lives of the little people, especially African Americans, don't really matter.

The January 6th attempted coup wasn't as bad as 9-11. It was worse. 9-11 was an assault on America from enemies, foreign. January 6th was an assault on America from enemies, domestic. I expect attacks on our country from rabid foreign zealots like Al Qaeda, but watching American citizens attempt the same end, death ("Hang Mike Pence!") and the destruction of the American government is a far sight worse.

Sad thing is that as you complain about J6, the actual sovereignty of this country is being subverted with an open border and a push to foment the tyranny of the majority by court packing and elimination of the filibuster.

This is long way from Watergate when both sides chose four members for the hearings. If you can't take off the blinders to see that is a problem in a democracy, you are the problem.

@4:48, oooh, more super-secret information only you and your fellow basement-dwellers have access to, which would blow the case wide open if only it could be shared publicly.

Epps is the guy accused of being a federal agent, no? He was filmed the night before, encouraging people to enter the Capitol the next day, yet he was never arrested himself, "proving" he was working for the government. My question: narc/fed or not, what does this have to do with the thousands of people who did storm the Capitol and savagely beat police? Are you saying those rioters are so knuckle-draggingly dim that, had not Epps offered the idea of trespassing, they would all have been obedient and docile, would not have suited up in helmets and ballistic vests or carried their bear spray and bats, stun guns and zip ties? THose seem odd accessories if they were just going to listen to Trump's speech Boy! That Epps must be one charismatic guy if his single invocation to storm the Capitol had such a galvanizing effect on thousands.

John Sullivan is a guy facing eight Federal charges for January 6th involvement, but he is more famous for recording the video showing Ashley Babbitt being shot and killed while she tried to crawl over other rioters and make her way into the Speaker's Lobby. Sullivan maintains he is a journalist who was working in that capacity at the Capitol. His trial has not yet been held. Is that correct? He spent a single night in jail, rather than being remanded until trial. That, ad his having also recorded video at BLM/Antifa protests is sufficient in the minds of the fevered to prove he is a federal agent. Again, the question: What if he was/is? Does that somehow absolve the thousands of rioters of their actions? Were they entrapped by Sullivan, forced to assault LEO, ordered to comply and to break into the Capitol, to search for the VP while chanting for his death? Did Sullivan secret brainwash the Oath Keepers into storing weapons in the Ballston Comfort Inn?

Surely you, as a Law & Order, Individual Responsibility type, recognize that, government provocateurs or not, the thousands of rioters and seditionists who stormed the Capitol are responsible for their own actions.

Driven so hard by hate & division 7:17 can't see straight so everything outside their liberal approved media is a conspiracy. The sad thing for people like that is living within a bubble means the part of the brain that questions and reasons is completely gone.

Conveniently forgotten are all the terrorist acts performed by your fellow travelers on the left that continue make an impact on everyone's lives today. One of many examples is the DA Chesa Boudin who just got recalled, (by all those right-wingers in SF). Do your research and find out that he was raised by convicted terrorists who also help jump start Obama's political run and connected to the 1983 bombing of the Capitol in DC.

The party you worship is the most violent mob in this country and blowing off your "summer of love" riots as less violent than J6 says a lot about you. Don't think the thousands of people affected by them would agree. Simple fact that Democrats are not interested in a fair hearing just means that bloviating about insurrection using a Hollywood producer carries no water.

Seriously, ask yourself if you would want a fair hearing that could actually be used to document factual events or the hearing they orchestrated purely to try make sure Trump can't run again? By your responses we already know where you stand which is why you better find a safe space in November because the hard working silent majority has had enough.

Anonymous said...

@10:29, thanks so much for your concern, but my eyesight is 20/20. I am well aware of Chesa Boudin's lineage. What has this to do with anything I have written here today, or are you busy --one again-- moving the goal posts since you can't refute with facts anything in my posts?

I do have to take issue with several of your assertions, beginning with who or what it is I deify. "The party you worship is the most violent mob in this country and blowing off your "summer of love" riots as less violent than J6 says a lot about you." Even with my excellent eyesight I am not able to see where in my 7:17 post I mentioned even a syllable about "'summer of love' riots," by which I assume you mean BLM protests following the murder by police of George Floyd. Oh, wait!! That's right. I can't find it because I never wrote that! Mystery solved. You chose to slip that in there, to falsely accuse me of something I never wrote. Not terribly sporting of you, old man. Typical for your ilk to cheat and lie like that, but nonetheless, not sporting.

On the subject of January 6th hearings: Don't worry, the GOP is being robustly represented by both Rep. Liz Cheney and by Rep. Adam Kinzinger. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Kevin McCarthy. (Fun fact: the murder rate in Kevin McCarty's ultra-red, ultra-GOP district of Bakersfield was twice that of Pelosi's SF, according to this recently released exploration of USA murder rates ["from yearly crime reports released by state governments, specifically the Departments of Justice and Safety."]: https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem

Lot's of good stuff in that report, including this bon mot "Jacksonville, a city with a Republican mayor, had 128 more murders in 2020 than San Francisco, a city with a Democrat mayor, despite their comparable populations.")

Back to the Minority Leader. McCarthy was invited to offer names from the GOP congressional delegation to participate on the January 6th committee, but because Pelosi objected to two of the five put forward, McCarthy sulked and pouted, picked up his ball and went home, withdrawing *all* names from consideration. Stereotypical behavior of the MAGA right, who petulantly expect no limits ever be placed on their actions & behaviors, that they be allowed total control of the field. Sad!

With regard to your concern for the fairness of the hearing, rest easy. The committee has, in the two televised sessions broadcast so far, done yeoman's work in documenting all manner of factual events. An excellent illustration this is so comes from the "fair & balanced" network, which curiously chose to present Tucker Carlson, the network's top-rated (and thus, top income-generating,) show, without a single, highly-priced commercial interruption on the very same night the J6 committee was presenting its first tranche of evidence. Widespread was the agreement among analysts that Fox went ad-free that night because the network's heads were petrified if Tucker had commercials, his viewers might casually flip to the hearings --just to check things out-- and be so riveted by the cornucopia of horrifying Trump & Co. scandals pouring forth that the proverbial scales might fall from those viewers' eyes. Best play it safe and keep Fox's ovine masses from being exposed to actual, demonstrable facts, lest they develop a taste for it.

Much like most liberals who refuse to answer direct criticism, they gaslight on their own when they don’t get the answers they desire.

Well aware of Boudin’s lineage but since his supporters are part of your little circle of domestic terrorists, “that’s all you have to say about that”. By the way, I saw the tweet from Ruth Sent Us, (ironic because even she believed that Row wasn’t the hill to fight for), shouldn’t you be gearing up to intimidate Amy Coney Barrett’s children or are you just on the staff hassling your neighbors because Garland has given you the green light to break Federal Law? Possibly because none of the MSM Sunday “News” shows spent even 1-second mentioning the attempted assassination. But maybe today, (6/14), is a day of remembrance as leftists celebrate the anniversary of another mass shooting.

This one really gave us a laugh: “Don't worry, the GOP is being robustly represented by both Rep. Liz Cheney and by Rep. Adam Kinzinger”. Might want to check your facts on who vetoed the members the GOP actually wanted but it’s what we expect from someone who thinks Sussman had an impartial jury. Wasn’t it Shiff and now Raskin saying “They Have The Evidence!”? By the way, how is that 3-Year, 50-Million Dollar Russian Collusion investigation going? I hope you realize that Star Wars was a fictional movie as well.

Why not just post a link to the Democratic Underground or The Nation? Those sites love to pick statistics that fit your narrative. FACT: Releasing repeat offenders with no-bail and no prosecutions of property crimes under a threshold leads to… MORE CRIME! Can’t connect the dots any clearer and the people responsible are leftists sponsored by your hero George Soros. Spin it anyway you want it, the fact is that crime in Democrat controlled cities is higher not to mention homelessness. PRO-TIP: Don’t Want More of it, Don’t Subsidize it.

"The committee has, in the two televised sessions broadcast so far, done yeoman's work in documenting all manner of factual events" - What can one say about serious mental illness on public display when there are NO REPUBLICAN appointees due to the speaker's veto. Kangaroo court that nobody except leftist trolls will believe with no opposing evidence presented. I suppose this is our future under you rule where one side makes the rules, enforces the rules and decides the outcome. You guys are the modern day brownshirts ready to round up all who oppose.

Fact:Of publicly issued subpoenas issued, only 8 of 84 have any connection to J6. It also appears that there are more than 100 for other people that Pelosi is seeking phone records for. This is all about political retribution against her enemies all while shielding her own culpabilities for denying additional security FOUR days prior. Don't worry, the shoe will be on the other foot come November and we'll get under oath testimony from the former speaker. Maybe they'll act like Democrats and have the FBI meet Pelosi at the airport along with some handcuffs & leg irons. Equal under the law...

Dear @8:56 and 3:57,

It delights me to remind your spotty memories that it was House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy who tapped Rep. John Katko to work with Dem. Rep. Bennie Thompson in creating the outlines for what was to become the Select Committee investigating January 6th. Katko and Thompson presented a plan that would have required approval from GOP committee members before any subpoena could be issued; would have required the final report be submitted by the end of 2021 would have had equal numbers of Dems and Republicans empaneled. It was that same Kevin McCarthy who then did a 180 and urged his GOP caucus to vote *against* the creation of the committee Katko & Thompson envisioned, the one with equal number of members Dem & GOP members, GOP subpoena veto power, and a shorter timeline. (For his part, McConnell instructed his Senate caucus to also vote against the proposal.) Thus, because McCarthy and Republicans voted to refuse cooperation in the creation of the committee, Speaker of the House Pelosi got to name all members of the panel and decide how the committee would proceed. She AGAIN invited McCarthy to participate, (not that she was obliged to,) by asking him to submit a roster of names for consideration to the panel. Because she raised objection to two names put forward --Jim Jordan & Jim Banks, each of whom had been singularly vocal in his ardent support of the fraudulent "stolen election" storyline-- McCarthy kept digging his hole deeper, withdrawing ALL his GOP names from consideration, leaving Pelosi the opportunity to select the entire committee. Thus, your whining about "fairness" is, as with so much of your agenda, not supported by facts. Sure, it's not fair that Kevin McCarthy is as dumb as a box of mallets, but that's the fault of the GOP voters who elected him. Perhaps they saw in him a reflection of themselves.

Oh, 3:57 -- about your logorrhea: you forgot to mention the Lindbergh baby, the grassy knoll, and probably something about the mummy's curse, although I confess having no interest in entertaining your scribble-pad meanderings. Keeping the thread isn't really your strong suit, is it.

Hey @3:57 -- you want to talk about Boudin? Here you go, from the notoriously socialist left-wing rag, The Wall Street Journal

"Rural America Reels From Violent Crime. ‘People Lost Their Ever-Lovin’ Minds.’

Explain to the class how all those blood-red rural jurisdictions, which have never voted for anything that came within a country mile of being a Democrat, have spiraling crime, too, since you have established in your fevered mind that the problem is laid squarely at the feet of terror sleeper agent Boudin and the big, bad, dangerous "urban" areas.

7:17 & 7:23 taking time off harassing children and breaking Federal Law. Nice to see that facts mean nothing, fairness is just a word and self-interpretation is now the standard by which the far left looks to for guidance. Bloviate all you want about McCarthy because the truth is that Pelosi was the final say which I’m sure we’ll get to in next year’s hearings. Then you’ll be screaming about the Constitution which you couldn’t give a wit about now. Rest easy because like Hunter’s laptop, the truth will eventually come out after November.

Don’t you just love how leftists truly believe that crime/shootings/murder are something they’re not responsible for? Look what a toilet you’ve turned San Francisco into not to mention LA, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, NYC, Chicago, St. Louis and all the rest under liberal control. I don’t need to post opinion pieces when even shill networks can’t ignore the violence caused by Soros sponsored politicians not to mention the border which you’ve completely destroyed. Keep in mind when you tell others that the sky is green when everyone can see blue, stupidity is not a virtue.

Everyone has a right to their own opinions but not their own facts. One of these days you may have that epiphany but we’re not holding our breath.

@8:51 "Harassing children," by which you must mean you and your cohort of righteously indignant sophists. Facts mean a great deal to me, which is why I cite them in my posts, in marked contrast to you, who --spluttering fury notwithstanding-- have not bothered to include any in your reply. Refute *with facts* what I wrote about McCarthy. You can't, because I write is the truth. You don't make a terribly compelling counter-argument about Pelosi, since you affirm precisely what I wrote: she did make the final decision. (One of the perks of being Speaker, not Minority Leader.) Thank you, though, for confirming it. Despite her having that last word, she did *multiple times* invite/encourage McCarthy's participation, despite his thick-headed, repeated refusals. It occurs to me, knowing how your side interprets "fairness," that because Kevin would not field a team despite myriad entreaties, your inverted logic must have determined the entire investigation should thus be scuttled. What a novel idea! Attorneys could simply refuse to appear in court, and cases would have to be dismissed. Students could refuse to take tests, drivers ignore traffic laws, consumers dismiss credit card bills. We could rebuild our society on your philosophy! The petulant shall inherit the Earth Imagine, an entire nation of Bartlebys: "I would prefer not to."

It is because I revere the Constitution that I am so horrified to witness my countrymen, fellow U.S. citizens and a sitting U.S. president, undertake its subversion, as they did in the weeks and months leading to January 6th's storming of the Capitol in their attempt to undermine the orderly, legal, Constitutionally authorized counting of the electoral ballots and the peaceful transfer of power. (Horror-amplifier: thundering cries of "Hang Mike Pence!" I'm no Pence fan, but no matter your party affiliation, chanting for the execution of the Vice President is the work of savages. That's not "legitimate political discourse," that is a rebellion against the government, seeking its overthrow.

Baltimore was always a dump. If you bothered to read the WSJ piece you would see crime is up everywhere, even in Republican places that aren't the urban hellholes reported on panic-stricken by Fox employees. Here's a fun quiz you can take at home while you steep in your bile: What do Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, Alabama have in common? Those six states were all won by Trump in the 2020 election. They also hold title as the highest per-capita murder rates in the country: [%Trump beat Biden//state's murder rate] AL +26.96//14.20; KY +25.94//14.32; LA +18.61//15.79; MS +16.54//20.50; MO +15.39//14.00; SC +11.68//10.72 Not a ton of Soros-sponsored pols in any of that territory. Plenty of Trump voters and murders, though.

You are indeed entitled to your own opinions, which is all you presented in your post --100% fact-free.

I do not think "epiphany" means what you think it means.

“Facts mean a great deal to me” – Almost the funniest thing you’ve written. One-liner retorts to what’s actually happening lends no credibility when the truth is that you and your fellow travelers are harassing several SCOTUS families, (including their children), in clear violation of Federal Law, but you revere the Constitution, (only when it suits you, otherwise it’s an “evolving document” - so yeah… right). Just because we have an AG who picks the laws he wants to enforce doesn’t make it legal. I think the water pipe has affected basic comprehension skills along so parroting MSM media is your go to.

You don’t believe Dershowitz or Turley are liberals, (well not by your Antifa influenced opinion), but your uncomfortable with someone who has stepped out of the lane far leftists like you have drawn as the new road to follow. Is Bill Maher a turncoat now for professing the hypocrisy in coverage?

Love the veiled admission that Baltimore was always a dump but ask yourself: Why is that? Must be Hogan’s fault, plus any state won by Trump MUST be completely controlled by the right. The problem with your argument is one of diversity, (a word your side loves to use but has no idea what it means). If a city is completely controlled by Democrats including a progressive DA, (no doubt sponsored by your hero Soros), in a state won by Trump, does that mean republicans are responsible for democrat policies? In your fantasy world yes but in the real world, where results matter, absolutely not. Democrats haven’t had much since JFK and the current leadership is so corrupt that everyone can see it except you.

This year is different in that people can see your party for what it is because results matter. Ramble on about J6 all you want but people remember your “summer of love”, record high inflation, fuel prices brought on by Putin… Wait, that was last week; This week is the oil companies. Gotta keep the narrative straight, oh and don’t bother checking your 401K because it’s worth significantly less. Democrats are a trainwreck of epic proportions that can only be slowed down in November because your backup plan is Kamala. Going to be at least 2026 before anyone can correct the damage done by you and your party in the last 18-months.

@4:56 That latest is, honest to god, near gibberish. I obviously enjoy this badinage, but when your posts comprise little more than random words tossed together like Scrabble tiles dumped from a bag, it makes it monumentally time consuming to unravel the chaos of your writing and translate it into decipherable English.

You cling to 18 USC § 1507 like a drowning man grabbing a life ring. Think of that law's malleability as SCOTUS regards stare decisis when it comes to overturning Roe and consequently jeopardizing the health and safety millions of women. Oh well, those chicks are collateral damage and need to suck it up So, too, the Supremes with their anxieties. Poor judicial snowflakes. They must be relieved to have a defender like you, though. Ironic, your concern for their fee-fees. I remember lots of photos of MAGA rally attendees proudly sporting "F*** your feelings" tee-shirts. That sentiment must not extend to disturbing *your side's* emotional well-being.

Perhaps those people marching down the streets and protesting learned from MAGA that when you don't like a law, you simply ignore it. Don't like election results? Ignore 'em! Don't like self-dealing, campaign finance, foreign agent, trespass, or making-threats-against-public-officials laws? Ignore 'em!

BTW: a "veiled admission" is something not direct or clear or overt. It is something obscured or concealed, as if by a veil. Make sense? Thus, my declaratory statement that "Baltimore was always a dump," is not veiled. I give you a C- for effort, though.

No question, no argument: Dems are a train wreck in many regards. They frequently can't get out of their own way to align behind a plan, a message, a strategy, a [whatever.] I suspect it is a consequence of the party's philosophy of inclusion. Good when you want to have a "Big Tent" open to all, but suicidal if you're trying to run a railroad. Everybody wants their voice heard, and everybody else is willing to stop what they're doing to listen. That's my theory on the root cause of Dem disorganization. It is also why I am not affiliated with the party. That said, they are light years better than the cabal of grifters, thieves, and autocratic seditionists fielded by Team MAGA.

So funny having a liberal saying one is clinging to a Federal Law that they don’t feel should be enforced because THEY FEEL the law is unfair. Do yourself a favor and go back to school where they teach that this country has THREE branches of government. Don’t like the law? WORK to get it changed by process, not harass children and innocent neighbors who just want to live in peace. Sad that I even need to explain this over and over as your ignorance is like teaching a dog calculus.

Nowhere in any of my arguments did I support the breaching of the Capitol, BUT unfortunately some people infer that a fair trial must mean that anyone who questions the J6 hearings and “robust defense” by what everyone, (except you), can see is a one-sided kangaroo court. I get it, CNN etal has told you what to think therefore this is what you must parrot. I said before, let’s have a hearing with questions from both sides but with people like you calling what’s fair and what’s not, wonder why a majority of Americans don’t trust you and your leftist book burners.

Pseudo explanations without actually explaining why you think that Trump won states are responsible for democrat controlled city crime is not a mystery because facts don’t support your premise which it makes it easy to refute. Keep supporting Soros and his affiliated DA/Prosecutors and you’ll get exactly what you signed on for; More Crime & More Murders in predominately minority neighborhoods that don’t have the security your able to have. But perhaps that’s your plan but as the polls show these minorities are catching on the DNC dog & pony show.

So now you’re not affiliated with the DNC so you can distance yourself from the impending disaster yet gaslight the other side for grifting & thieving? Now I have read it all. You can BS all you want but by every measurable metric that narcissist Trump ran this country better yet people like you are willing to burn it all down because he hurt your feelings on Twitter not to mention that he actually loves this country which your side definitely does not.

@6:35 18 usc § 1507 reads, (emphasis mine):

"Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

The Chevy Chase marchers are not "interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice," nor have they "the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty." They are voicing their displeasure with what they accept is the position of the justices whose houses they march past.

A Congressional select committee is not a trial. It is an investigative body assembled to address a specific matter, in this case the events surrounding Jan 6. Your side/the other side/GOP-MAGA side was asked multiple times to be a part of the committee, to participate, but the GOP caucus voted against joining, the GOP leadership withdrew all GOP names submitted to participate. If you/they don't want to participate, don't. But you don't then get to whine you didn't get to participate.

"[L]eftist book burners?" Nope. Flat-out inversion of the facts.
"PEN America, a non-profit organization that works to protect freedom of expression in the US, scrutinized efforts to ban certain books from school libraries for its “Banned in the USA” report. The organization found that 1,145 books were targeted by rightwing politicians and activists, including the work of the Nobel prize laureate Toni Morrison.

"The report shows the striking impact of the ongoing effort by conservatives to censor literature in schools. The bans have largely targeted books that focus on race and LGBTQ issues, and a large number of the banned books are written by non-white or LGBTQ authors."

"Pseudo explanations without actually explaining why you think that Trump won states are responsible for democrat controlled city crime is not a mystery because facts don’t support your premise which it makes it easy to refute" I ask this sincerely: is English not your first language, because your sentence makes no sense. Are you asking why I think Trump won AL, KY, LA, MO, MS, SC in 2020? Most probably b/c that's what the election maps, the Electoral College and even The Great Orange Man himself asserted. Do you have evidence to the contrary? No. As detailed in the recent Wall Street Journal *article,* rural, deep-red communities controlled entirely by Republican officials are seeing crime rise, too, w/out a Soros dime or D.A. in sight. Sorry to harsh your rage-high with more facts.

Lastly, another edition of I do not think that word means what you think it means Tonight's episode: Gaslighting.

Webster's defines gaslighting as, "Psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator"

Are you and Team MAGA questioning the validity of your thoughts, memories, and perceptions of reality? Are you feeling confused, not confident, strangely dependent on liberals?

Mirabile dictu, your psychosis may be breaking!

Wait, it was just a cool-sounding random term you heard, so you tossed it in your word salad? Typical.

It is well known the party of inclusion is the GOP/MAGA, where all are welcome.
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/14/scenes-from-charlottesvilles-violent-unite-the-right-rally.html

Garland's comments and directive to DOJ addressed, "a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools. . . The obligation of the Justice Department is to protect the American people against violence and threats of violence and that particularly includes public officials,” Garland said.

https://apnews.com/article/education-violence-school-boards-merrick-garland-congress-6069cd1bf2286bcc57c62e679db6780f

Your comment, that "Garland will be remembered by allowing the left to intimidate political enemies and going after parents legally expressing their opinions at school board meetings," overlooks the fact that harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence are not legal expressions of opinion, even for your club-wielding, book-banning side.

Boy, how we dodged that bullet! Thank god McConnell refused to carry out his Constitutionally mandated advise-&-consent duty.


For your knuckle-dragging latest vulgarity, I'll let PolitiFact do the writing:
"In context, Jackson was saying the 2012 report concluded that the volume of child pornography a defendant accesses is not as predictive of the seriousness of the offense as it was before the internet became the primary source of such material.

"She was not referencing her own prior rulings or arguing that child pornography isn’t as bad if the offender accesses the content online."

Politifact is a joke to any objective observation although to you guys it probably is the Bible. Defending Brown for handing out light sentences for pedophiles is part and parcel to you harassing Barrett's children and makes more sense then the mental gymnastics you needed to go through to defend her albeit with a left wing site.

The protesters in Chevy Chase and Falls Church are in violation of Federal Law regardless of your grade school interpretation but the AG is as corrupt as he is intemperate. What's he doing about Jane's Revenge? Nothing because you and the violence that you encourage is being used as a political weapon.

Remember Dr. Seuss, Uncle Tom's Cabin? Just two of many books liberals have banned in some jurisdictions so while you use words like inclusion, like diversity you have no idea what it means.

Funny how you post leftist links to support your argument which only demonstrates why you believe what you believe. I get it, Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong and your party has gone out of its way to reinforce false narratives as truths. By the way, how's that Russian Collusion investigation going? 3-years and almost 60-million taxpayer dollars. At least we got good testimony from Mook during the Sussman trial. You guys continue to party but you've run out of other people's money so come November there are going to be other hearings and you can go riot, break windows, set cars on fire because the AG won't prosecute.

Nice defense of Garland regarding the Loudon County school board. Read just a little deeper and find that the NSBA retracted their letter to him but you didn't know that because the 1st Amendment only applies to leftist.

School board meetings are there so parents can see what's going on and voice affirmation or objection. Meanwhile in liberal land, harassment of SCOTUS families which is ILLEGAL under Federal Law is ignored. The fact that you can’t see the difference is not surprising because your media told you so.

@3:48 Okay, hotshot, show me the objective, source-material facts about KBJ that prove wrong the passage I highlighted. Nice reach, trying to link pedophilia to demonstrations protesting outside the house of perjurer Amy Barrett. Yeah --again, your sentences drift towards gibberish, and that last one in the first paragraph means nothing. Word salad.

As has been stated innumerable times in [vain] hope of some infinitesimal bit of fact reaching through your remarkably granitic skull, 18 USC§ 1507 pertains to attempts to intimidate and influence judges & court officers in the discharge of their duties. Since the demonstrators are not trying to intimidate these fine, honorable, upstanding, ethical, honest, moral, non-lying-under-oath stare decisis-overturning Justices in the discharge of their duties --that is, all parties agree the judges aren't going to be swayed by the drum-beaters on the sidewalk-- 18 USC§ 1507 does not apply. You *probably* don't want to open the door to talk about acts of violence surrounding this topic. There are a lot of dead OB/GYN doctors whose families would be eager to school you on which end of the political spectrum has demonstrated deadly violence in pursuit of their objectives. I emphatically reject anyone suggesting violence against the right as a consequence of overturning Roe, period. But keep your mouth zipped about the topic, because your side preyed for decades on healthcare providers.

RE/Dr. Suess, it was Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the outfit that controls the copyright to Geisel's work, that withdrew the books. Are you complaining the owner of a property should not be allowed to decide what to do with it?

Oh, yes! Let's chat about Michael Sussmann and the Mueller investigation! Sussmann was aquitted of the single charge brought against him, that of making a false statement. Now, to his credit, investigator John Durham did, over the course of his multi-year, not very successful search for misdeeds. I grant he did secure one guilty plea, from former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who admitted to altering an email. But that's it. Oh, and the Sussmann trial? Defendant found not guilty of the single charge brought against him: making a false statement. Yet to stand trial, Russian national Igor Danchenko, charged with...making a false statement. So, after five years investigating, Durham has indicted three, one of whom was found not guilty, one who pleaded guilty. On the plus side, I can't find any numbers addressing the cost, other than a figure of ~$3.8 around 12/21, although that doesn't make clear if it is for the period since 2017 or just the bit since autumn '19, when Durham FBI investigation turned to an investigation of possible crimes. In either case, not ruinously expensive.

In contrast, the *two* year-long, (not three as you wrote. 3/2017-3/2019 is two years) Mueller investigation resulted in 34 individuals and three companies indicted, of whom eight have pleaded guilty or been found so. Five of those eight are Trump associates. A search of Google for "total cost mueller investigation" indicates the cost was actually about $32m, almost exactly half your unsubstantiated claim. That figure was offset by the roughly $48m in unpaid taxes that Mueller's team unearthed during their investigation. In other words, the government netted $16m from unpaid taxes.

To recap: you were wrong about the length of Mueller's investigation and the cost. Multiple defendants were found guilty and sentenced to jail or prison. THe $32m cost of the investigation was more than offset by the $48m in unpaid taxes it uncovered. In contrast, the Durham investigation has been ongoing since 2017 and, of the three indictments issued, a solitary defendant had pleaded or been found guilty, (and his plea avoided jail time, too.) It hasn't cost much, but it hasn't produced much, either. Thanks for bringing up the subject, @3:48

@4:56 The difference is between parents threatening on camera, in public, to kill school board members and with people parading peacefully --if noisily-- past a judge's house *without* making any threats. Do yourself a favor and re-read @12:41, who brought up the topic of Garland suppressing the rights of parents being unable to express their opinions at school board meetings. Thus, quoting what Garland actually said about the topic is entirely legitimate. The AG's call for DOJ awareness/involvement re/parents & school boards is laid out quite clearly in his letter. Civil opinion-expressing is Constitutionally protected. Threats of violence and murder are not. Are you going to contest that?

@4:01 Lincoln Project was set up by Republicans to protest the autocratic, profoundly anti-democratic transgressions of Trump. It makes no pretense of its loathing for the damage Orange Bilous has done to the country. Media Matters was started by a conservative, David Brock. Ooops again. MM isn't a news site.

Such a triggered liberal who stomps their feet when their BS is called out because they're used to hanging out with like-minded cheerleaders. Ignore the facts you don't like and push MSM talking points because at the end of the day that's all you know.

This took all of 10-seconds and is only one of many examples:

"Jackson herself admitted that the felon was at “risk of reoffending,” the transcript further reveals. But she declined to enhance his prison time based on the amount of porn he distributed, arguing such enhancements were “outdated” and “substantially flawed.” She acknowledged the average sentence nationally “for similarly situated defendants” was 81 months, but she gave him the statutory mandatory-minimum sentence of 60 months, which was short of the nearly six years prosecutors asked for. In addition, Jackson gave him credit for time served starting from when he was first incarcerated in October 2018, so technically she gave him only 38 months, or a little over three years, in the pen. Downs is scheduled for release in December.

In her April 2021 sentencing of child porn distributor Ryan Manning Cooper, Jackson contradicted the findings of prosecutors, dismissing the crimes they described as “on the more egregious or extreme spectrum” of child porn as not “especially egregious.” Among the more than 600 images prosecutors told the judge he traded were sexually explicit pics depicting bondage of infants and toddlers. Prosecutors also busted him with a video of a “pre-pubescent boy being penetrated anally and orally” by an older male.

“I’m really reluctant to get into the nature of the porn,” Jackson told the court before sentencing Cooper to prison time short of what the prosecution recommended."

Seriously, try pushing someone's buttons who might believe any words you might say because if anything you said was even close to reality things wouldn't be as bad as they are today. We already know what happens when leftists like you get a little power, you step on the gas and try to drive off the cliff. Your fellow travelers like AOC have proven themselves to be self-serving little socialists that haven't got a clue to how the real world works.

You keep trying to justify harassment to SCOTUS judges which is a VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW while saying parents voicing their opinions at a school board meeting are terrorists. What a twisted world you live in because when you can't make their argument via a bad rationalization let's say they use crayons or Ritalin, I had to laugh. Is that the best you have? You guys are so easy.

@5:48 Your quotation says Jackson sentenced the convicted criminal within the federal guidelines. What's your problem with that? She did not create the guidelines, she just adhered to them. If you have a problem with the law, you should better follow @6:35's advice: "Don’t like the law? WORK to get it changed by process," don't whine because a judge obeyed it. Your second paragraph does not say the sentence she meted out in April, 2021 was outside the sentencing guidelines. I'm not saying it wasn't --it may have been, which would be a different matter. But the paragraph you wrote or copied, (no judgement,) does not make clear if the sentence was outside federal guidelines.

"try pushing someone's buttons who might believe any words you might say because if anything you said was even close to reality things wouldn't be as bad as they are today." Gibberish. Edit and re-submit.

I give you full marks for your zealous, gleefully obdurate defense of facts not in evidence.
Bravo! Marching peacefully, without intent to intimidate or influence the courties being protested is not illegal under 18 USC§ 1507. It isn't, plain and simple. The statute addresses actors who attempt to influence or intimidate. Absent such attempts, as is the case with the Chevy Chase demonstrators, 1507 does not apply.

Conversely, the Constitutional right of people to petition their government, in this case parents & school boards, does not extend to threats of violence against said board members or their families, which is what's happening with increasing frequency around the country. No one except the Tucker Carlson set has suggested parents do not have the right to --civilly-- protest their grievances to gov't. However, the right of parents to seek what's best for their children does not extend to calling for the deaths of those who do not support their views. Tell me how any of the following examples, sent to board members and their families, are part of that "legitimate political discourse" I've been hearing about.

**“If she doesn’t quit or resign before the end of the year, we will kill her, but first, we will kill you!”...“Brenda, I am going to gut you like the fat f‑‑‑ing pig you are when I find you.”...“This why hitler threw you c‑‑ts in a gas chamber,”... “They will fucking see your head swinging from a pole.”

@5:54, Lincoln Project and Media Matters were raised by 4:01, who said, "The left loves sites with names like "politifact", "Lincoln Project", "media matters" like the name lends any credence to the content. If you actually read outside your little circle of propaganda pieces, you might learn something and actually have a shot at some factual content."

Personally, I enjoyed the blistering attack ads LP posted, but I never reached for them as a news source. As was earlier mentioned, PF has been rated neutral by at least one body that measures that sort of thing, although I'm sure the "fair & balanced" jihadis of Fox/OAN will find fault with that assessment. MM is not, as was also already mentioned --do you people actually read?-- a news site, but a media watchdog site. It does not report on stories, it reports on factual errors and reporting bias made by those who do report stories. Thus, as with LP, not a news source.

It was someone else who commented on Dershowitz and Turley.


@6:09, I apologize for my comment to you. When I wrote that I had not yet read about the Colbert people/Comedy Central stunt. Theirs was a stupid idea, both comedically and in more basic sense of that-doesn't-sound-like-a-bring-thing-to-do. They deserve whatever legal penalty is dealt.

I forgot to show my work.

Media Matters was founded by David Brock. "Brock began his career as a right-wing investigative reporter during the 1990s. He wrote the book The Real Anita Hill and the Troopergate story, which led to Paula Jones filing a lawsuit against Bill Clinton. In the late-1990s, he switched sides, aligning himself with the Democratic Party and in particular with Bill and Hillary Clinton." Yes, when he founded MM in 2004 he had already jumped the conservative ship, so I was wrong on that score; I thought he switched sides after MM was founded. He did start his career in the GOP side, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Brock



The Lincoln Project was founded by George Conway, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver, and Rick Wilson, Jennifer Horn, Ron Steslow, Reed Galen, and Mike Madrid. All except Galen, (an independent,) identify as conservatives and have had active careers in conservative politics.

Isn't Politfact owned by the Poynter Institute which is also responsible for FB fact checking?

Is there no media read/watched by liberals that isn't incestuous? You guys are a little circle fest of misinformation but makes it fun and easy to call you out.

Of course your MSM occasionally does mostly accidentally report some truth but like a broken clock is only right twice a day.

"Marching peacefully", "not trying to influence or intimidate". You really do live in a different world where words and actions are defined differently. So if what you said was true, they wouldn't need any police presence at their homes or at the schools where their children attend not to mention your sides rhetoric which has encouraged one, (so far), to commit attemted murder. So sure, harassment of someones children at school shouldn't be interpreted as intimidation to influence. There are plenty of vile quotes i could pull up from the mainstream of your party regarding conservative SCOTUS judges while you pull up the fringes from known propaganda sites on parents. If you have any post HS education, time to get a refund.

So in your world, once a republican, always a republican, therefore when they change sides its an indicator of a party in disarray proving the other side was right all along. MEANWHILE if a lifelong democrat, also known in their past as passionate liberal, well they were never "one of us" anyway.

You do realize that Wikipedia is essentially crowd sourced meaning the squeaky wheel gets the grease so to speak but maybe you don't. While you hate outlets like Fox/OAN pew research rates them an order of magnitude more truthful than ANY of the MSM notably the MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, WP, NYT etal.

Kirsten Powers, noted liberal, wrote a book detailing the intolerance of the left where they once stood for free speech they now stand against it. Good journalism isn't rewarded in your world because the truth is often uncomfortable. While I prefer real journalists like Sharyl Attkisson, you guys revere people like Maddow or Reid. The fact that anyone would say that Media Matters is a "watchdog" site is stunning unless you meant watchdog of any media that we disagree with. You really do need to read outside your confined circle.

Now it looks like everyone who broke into the Capitol was arrested and charged BUT released on bail. Equal Under the Law would mean NO Bail for at least 18-months, jailed in isolation and SWAT teams showing up at the houses of the trespassers but your hero Garland will show his stripes soon enough. You probably thought it was funny seeing Navarro handcuffed and put in leg irons at the airport but that just shows how corrupt the J6 hearings are. Next year when you don't own the house, should the other side do the same?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA -- excellent! I almost spat out my coffee at this.

"While you hate outlets like Fox/OAN pew research rates them an order of magnitude more truthful than ANY of the MSM notably the MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, WP, NYT etal."

Are you referring to this? "While Democrats in the United States turn to and place their trust in a variety of media outlets for political news, no other source comes close to matching the appeal of Fox News for Republicans."
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/04/08/five-facts-about-fox-news/
If so, site down for some bad news: Pew is reporting what people think of the outlets, not whether those outlets are, objectively, as trustworthy or truthful as those people think.
It's like saying 80% of people who read QAnon message boards trust that information more than any MSM source. That doesn't make the Q board postings true, it just means the readers think it is. Same with the Pew poll.

Did Kirsten Powers mention anything about MAGAGOP officials removing books from libraries? Not just school libraries, but *public* libraries? https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/04/17/public-libraries-books-censorship/ Anything on elected officials seeking to burn books they disapprove?

I"m not saying MM doesn't focus its attention on the Right. It does. That's the entire concept of the site: to show the excesses, favoritism, and outright fabrications of right-wing sites that purport to be journalist sources, places that gather news. MM does not gather news, so it is under no obligation to be neutral or "fair & balanced." Places that bill themselves as "fair & balanced" should be under such an obligation for their news-gathering operations.

As for Navarro, one can only hope he's learned you ignore Congressional subpoenas at your peril. You'll have a hard time arguing all those charged with crimes at the Capitol should be remanded, since the U.S. court system doesn't work that way. The seriousness of the charges, the defendant's ties to the community, past criminal history, etc are all taken into consideration, as you jolly well know. Try hard not to be quite so fatuous.

You still haven't answered why 18 USC§ 1507 doesn't make protesting in front of the Supreme Court illegal. I'll answer why the police are outside the Chevy Chase houses when you answer why it's legal to protest outside SCOTUS under 18 USC§ 1507.

Anonymous said...

Liberals never cease to amaze: “ignore Congressional subpoenas at your peril” along with the rest of the blather justifying handcuffs & leg irons for someone you simply personally dislike. As much as I dislike Pelosi, would I be in favor of having her met by the FBI and put into leg-irons? No, because it’s the left that has turned the DOJ into their personal gestapo and really makes this country look like a banana republic. While in a normal world they would take factors that you stated, this was clearly done as a show much like raiding Roger Stones house with a full tactical team YET notifying friendly media shills CNN ahead of time. The fact that you can’t see the corruption that is obvious to everyone is sad but not surprising.

So now you’ve changed to the SCOTUS courthouse while we’ve been arguing about your harassment & intimidation of judges at their homes and where their children go to school. Pretty obvious when your rhetoric encourages violence but claim innocence while the reverse is never given the same benefit of doubt. You must never lose any arguments when you can change the question.

Keep posting the “Democracy Dies in Darkness” links as they are your fellow travelers. Other liberals can see how pathetic they really are:

Why don’t you read Powers book, (free at the library unless you and your cohorts have removed it), although it may require some self-introspection.

"More Americans say former President Trump should face criminal charges in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to a new poll.

"The ABC News-Ipsos survey published on Sunday found that 58 percent of respondents said Trump should be criminally charged, while 40 percent of respondents said Trump should not face charges. . .

"A similar ABC News-Washington Post-ABC News poll published in early May found that 52 percent of those surveyed said Trump should be criminally charged for his role in the Jan 6 insurrection, while 42 percent disagreed."

Nice when a liberal brags about a poll taken from a liberal source and touts it as gospel. ABC/WP? Seriously? Even Stephanopoulos stepped into it a little bit on Sunday before he caught himself. Better give him a call to remind him what team he's on. Don't you just love these polls that oversample democrats? The other benefits of a compliant li eral media is to bury stories and polls they don't like. Like what happened with Hunter’s laptop which was a lie then but now is true so we won't cover it. Well of course you do because any legitimate polls might ruin your narrative and then you couldn't sleep at night knowing that the truth might get out. Much like the Sussman trial that had a jury with three Clinton donors, a "squad" donor and a donor whose kid plays on the same team as Sussman's kid. Liberals like you and your media count on repetitive lies such that it becomes your truth. Meanwhile you and your pathetic followers harass and intimidate SCOTUS families while screaming it perfectly legal.

The liberal mobs you support are the most violent groups we've had since the 60's and have more damage and murder under their belts than any other group all while your media ignores it. So funny that you think it's just a bunch of harmless teenagers but I guess that's what you've been programmed to believe.

Look at your accomplishments in the past 18-months: Gasoline is more than double, Diesel is much more than double, inflation has increased every month, stock market, crime/murder in democrat controlled cities is setting records and because Trump hurt your feelings, J6 and your liberal polls are the most important things today. I don't think working class people share your view as their busy deciding between gasoline and food.

Hunter is a drunk and a [possibly] reformed drug addict. He hasn't demonstrated any capacity to be savvy enough to enlist agents of foreign regimes to help enrich himself. Unlike Jared, who fell into a $2 billion stake from MBS. Some families are more corrupt than others, & TeamTrump is at the top of that heap.

Michael Sussmann, not guilty.

Oh, Great Law Knower, why does 18 USC § 1507 apply only to residential demonstrations when the law specifically states, "in or near a building housing a court of the United States," Tell us why courthouse protestors are exempt from prosecution under this statute while similarly behaving citizens should be arrested when demonstrating in public spaces outside residences.

"The liberal mobs you support are the most violent groups we've had since the 60's and have more damage and murder under their belts than any other group." Evidence to support your claim? Yeah, that squad's worth of teen girls walking down a sidewalk w/baby doll toys are the cause of society's violence, not peace-loving fascists [ED: literally: an anti-liberal, nationalistic, militaristic, authoritarian] like Eric Greitens, who proudly campaigns he is "hunting RINOs," breaking down doors w/a 12-ga & a squad of fully armored shock troops.

Gas prices shot up in 18 months, something about Russia's unprovoked attack on a sovereign country, and the west's consequent embargo of Russian oil, plays a role, as you well know. Since Russian oil is being boycotted, the global supply is tighter, amplified further by Saudi's murderous MBS working with Boy Wonder Jared, in expectation of future mutually rewarding "projects," like the totally-legitimate-and-above-board $2 billion dollar stake money for Jared's start-up private equity grift. What's weird is that gas is more expensive *everywhere* on the planet, almost as if it were a problem not b/c of Biden but b/c of global events. Weirder still, gas in the US is among the cheapest anywhere on Earth. Yes, this chart is three weeks old. However, its information is a useful indicator that your whining about US gas is, as with the rest of your litany of complaints, off target. Yeah, the gas prices suck, but they suck appreciably less in the USA than they do for just about everyone else on Earth.

Crime in big Dem-controlled cities is up, crime in tiny MAGA-run poke-waters is up, and the stats everywhere began climbing before Biden took office. "The U.S. murder rate rose 30% between 2019 and 2020 – the largest single-year increase in more than a century" Most will recall that, in 2019, it was the short-fingered vulgarian in office, not President Biden. Fun fact, firearms were involved in 77% of the homicides recorded in 2020. Good thing SCOTUS is likely to loosen gun laws this week, (next?) so more gun-related crimes "can flood the zone."

I guess the fake polls will make you feel better until November when the liberal house of cards crashes. Reality is not a world you traffic in because actual statistics don't support much of anything that you say. So when democrats trespass or vandalize the Capitol, it's no big deal, especially to the brown shirts running the DOJ right now. You use words and phrases like "robust" and "yeoman's work" to describe the J6 hearings when most everyone can see what a kangaroo court it is. When you quote the WP, MM, (name your liberal media), for news or especially polls, we all have a good laugh along with most Americans as will be demonstrated in November.

Gotta love the rationalization that any crime in fully democrat controlled cities, with Soros DA's, in 2019 is Trump's fault. Have you checked the murder rates for the first half of 2022?

Yet for you it's all about Jared, incredible. What about the 2nd Amendment which you think should be modified?

Not likely because he there are separate rules for democrats and republicans with you guys in charge which is why there will be a change in November.
