OH NO: ANOTHER Trump Riot on September 18?

For weeks now, Trump supporters have been planning their return to the US Capitol building where they want to hold a protest to “take back the narrative” on what happened on January 6th. The event scheduled for September 18th is ostensibly to show support for people who have been locked up over their role in the Trump riots eight months ago. We’re now finding out that far-right groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys plan on being in attendance, as they were at the original “Save America” rally. This has the intelligence community worried that those in attendance may once again try to storm the US Capitol and put the lives of lawmakers, police, and other Capitol staff at risk. There is now a growing push to put a fence back up surrounding the perimeter of the Capitol building to prevent another insurrection. Doing so would be labeled an authoritarian move by the right, even though given what happened in January, installing a fence would make plenty of sense. Capitol Police will surely be far more prepared this time and that will of course play into the persecution complex that so many of these right-wingers have. With the event only two weeks away, hopefully we’re not going to see a repeat of the turmoil and national embarrassment that occurred on January 6th.

Anti-Masker TOO CRAZY for Fox News Loses It

At a school board meeting in Seminole County, Florida, a man went on an insane rant about masks and vaccines that ended with him saying that even Fox News cannot be trusted anymore. The speech was riddled with delusions of grandeur and a sentiment that this guy was willing to say the things that other people are too afraid to. He said “evil is not going to prevail. All you’ve done is awaken the sleeping giant here every parent here who loves freedom, except maybe some of them that are maybe brainwashed by the deep state media.” Then it got to the juicy part, where the man said he’s a conservative (as if that wasn’t already obvious) and that he can no longer watch Fox News because it too has been compromised. The man said that now he listens to “renowned doctors” like Sherri Tenpenny who’s the lunatic anti-vaxxer lady who claimed COVID vaccines were making people magnetized. Some were wondering why Fox News anchors were so hesitant to give their full-fledged support of the vaccines, when they’ve all been immunized and there are in fact vaccine mandates at Fox. This is exactly why. People like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have assessed that if they support the vaccine program, the craziest of crazies in their audience will turn on them and no longer watch.

OOPS: Republican Senator BLAMES TRUMP for Genuine Election Loss

Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin has been one of the most outspoken Republican lawmakers in support of Donald Trump. But even he is getting tired of having to defend the ex-president’s lies about the 2020 election being “rigged.” Johnson was confronted by progressive political activist Lauren Windsor, who was filming him undercover while pretending to be a devout Trump supporter. When Windsor asserted to Johnson that Biden didn’t legitimately win the election, Johnson asked her if she knew the vote totals in the state of Wisconsin. He went on to say, “the only reason Trump lost Wisconsin, is that 51,000 Republican voters, didn’t vote for him. They voted for other Republican candidates.” Johnson finished up by saying, “there’s nothing obviously skewed about the results.” The Wisconsin senator wouldn’t make such a claim in a television appearance or speaking on the Senate floor, but since he was talking candidly with someone he though to be a constituent, he didn’t mind speaking the truth. This goes to show that for all the bluster these right-wing lawmakers have about Trump being the legitimate winner of the election, so few of them actually believe it.

LOL: Glenn Beck Confronts Lauren Boebert About Her Stupid Plan

Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has been on a crusade lately to impeach any Democrat who happens to hold power. The first of her targets is President Biden, who she says ought to be impeached over the tumultuous withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. But it doesn’t stop there. Boebert also wants to fire Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She went on Glenn Beck’s program this week to talk about her strategy and it was so nuts that even Beck had to call her out on how little sense the plan made. Boebert explained how she has legislation in the works to impeach Biden and Harris, while also calling on Kevin McCarthy to move to vacate the chair. This is going to be nearly impossible for Boebert and her Republican allies to achieve, since they don’t control the House of Representatives. All Glenn Beck could say in response was “holy cow” because the idea is such a fairy tale. However the goal for Boebert isn’t actually to remove Biden, Harris, and Pelosi from office. It’s instead to appeal to her far-right supporters, some of which actually believe this has a chance of actually working.
