McEnany tries to distance administration from Capitol riots

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tried on Thursday to distance President Donald Trump’s administration from riots at the Capitol, even though the president had encouraged his followers to move on the building the previous day.

“Those who violently besieged our Capitol are the opposite of everything that this administration stands for,” McEnany said in a televised statement on Thursday afternoon. “The core value of our administration is the idea that all citizens have the right to live in safety, peace, and freedom.”

McEnany’s comments come after members of both parties strongly denounced Trump for inciting the violent protesters who broke into the Capitol on Wednesday. Members of Congress and Trump’s Cabinet voiced their discontent by calling for the president’s removal from office through impeachment or the 25th Amendment. A number of administration officials, including Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, have resigned. Trump was also barred from posting on a number of social media platforms after they determined that his messages during and following the break-in encouraged further violence.

McEnany also said the president was committed to a safe and orderly transition of power, despite his monthslong attack on the legitimacy of the 2020 elections. She did not take questions from reporters after her brief statement.

Shortly before the break-in, Trump took to a rally stage outside the White House, continuing to make false claims that the election was stolen from him. He did not address his supporters again until hours after the rioters had breached Capitol security and sent the complex into an emergency lockdown with armed stand-offs. But he did not condemn his supporters in those messages, instead telling them to go home peacefully and that “we love you.“

The U.S. attorney's office in D.C. has opened a federal murder investigation into the death of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died Thursday night after suffering injuries in the violent siege at the Capitol, three law enforcement sources confirmed to ABC News.

The investigation is being conducted jointly between the FBI and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, with cooperation from U.S. Capitol Police.

Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said in a statement, "The Department of Justice will spare no resources in investigating and holding accountable those responsible.”

The Coming Purge of All Things and People Trump

Around 3500 years ago in ancient Egypt, there lived a pharaoh who didn’t believe there were multiple gods ruling the universe. Pharaoh Akhenaten believed there was only one god — Aten the sun god. As you might imagine, this didn’t sit well with a lot of people. Priests who made a living assisting in the worship of other gods lost their livelihoods and since religion was a big deal in Egypt, a lot of important people connected to other gods lost quite a bit.

Akhenaten had sort of a co-regency with his son, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, who also believed in the one god. After their deaths, the priests and those who worshipped other gods took their revenge on both of them. They systematically erased both pharaohs from history — literally. They scratched out their names on carvings, they chiseled over their names on stone tablets, they destroyed every scroll where their names appeared, they toppled any statues that bore their likenesses.

How effective was this erasure? When a bust was found of Akhenaten in the 19th century, nobody could figure out who he was.

Not even the Soviets, who became famous for scrubbing their history books of Communist leaders who had fallen out of favor, did such a fabulous job in erasing history. This is all relevant because Trump, and those even just tangentially associated with him, are about to be erased from history by those on both sides who see a political opening to destroy their opponents.

Senator Josh Hawley has been fingered as the scapegoat in the mob attack on the Capitol. It’s not exactly clear why. It could be that he was the most visible Senator who, in a completely legal and constitutional fashion, challenged the results of the Electoral College. You may believe he was right or you may think him crazy. Whatever your opinion, what he did was perfectly legal.

Hawley’s sin was they he didn’t sit down, shut up, and accept without question the verdict of authorities. He decided to legally challenge the Electoral College results. No one knows if he really believed the cockamamie conspiracy theories about magic voting machines, altered votes, and a stolen election. It was enough that a picture of Hawley was published showing him outside the Capitol building shaking a clenched fist at the protesters in support of their demonstration — a demonstration which was peaceful until it wasn’t.

Snippet from Article

We are about to enter a very dark period in American history. It won’t be Robespierre’s “Reign of Terror.” Guillotines won’t be set up on the mall or gallows erected in Central Park. But there will be terror nonetheless. And it won’t be the Josh Hawley’s or political big shots who will be terrorized. It will be people with everything to lose who will fear being purged.

So much for the Right's alleged support of Law & Order and the Men in Blue.

No great surprise..........

But, hey, looky here:

Round-ups have started:

Officials say man seen in viral photograph at Nancy Pelosi's desk arrested

(CNN)The man photographed sitting at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk during Wednesday's riots in the US Capitol has been arrested and charged with three federal counts, including theft of public property, federal officials said Friday.

Federal officials said Richard Barnett of Arkansas was taken into custody Friday morning in Little Rock.
Barnett was charged with knowingly entering and remaining in restricted building grounds without authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds as well as the theft of public property, officials said.

A resident of Alabama was also charged in connection with the pipe bomb found on the south side of the Capitol building. Eleven Molotov cocktails and military-style weapon were found in his pickup truck, officials said.

"Just because you've left the DC region you can still expect a knock on the door if we find out you were part of the criminal activity at the Capitol," said Steven D'Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office.

"The FBI is not sparing any resources in this investigation," he said.

It was not immediately clear whether Barnett has an attorney.

Because, given the circumstances, it's the prudent thing to do. Trump is unhinged and no one knows what he'll do after inciting a riot that's resulted in five deaths (so far).

Way to go MAGA supporters.......... hopefully he won't sell the nuclear codes to the highest bidder :roll: Gotta raise money for 2024 after all, right?

Speaker Pelosi says she spoke to top US general about Trump and nuclear codes

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told members in a letter that she spoke to the chairman of the joint chiefs about President Trump and the nuclear codes.

"This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike," Pelosi wrote. "The situation of this unhinged President could not be more dangerous, and we must do everything that we can to protect the American people from his unbalanced assault on our country and our democracy."
In the letter she also thanks members following Wednesday's insurrection, shared the news of USCP officer Brian Sicknick's death following the breach, and that she hopes to hear from Pence "as soon as possible" about removing Trump from office.

"Nearly fifty years ago, after years of enabling their rogue President, Republicans in Congress finally told President Nixon that it was time to go. Today, following the President’s dangerous and seditious acts, Republicans in Congress need to follow that example and call on Trump to depart his office – immediately. If the President does not leave office imminently and willingly, the Congress will proceed with our action," Pelosi wrote.

The letter also announced that there will be a letter coming from the Office of the Attending Physician and the Office of the Employee Assistance about resources available to members for responding to trauma in the wake of Wednesday's attack.

I would imagine that the powers that be have already put a stop to any nukes being launched just in case the crazy bastard does it. The process for launching a nuke is not that simple. One other person has a code and has to enter it at the same time Trump enters his code. Trump alone cannot launch a nuke. Unless Trump holds somebody of sound mind at gunpoint, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Trump now banned permanently from Twitter. If twitter had done that 4 yrs ago they could have saved everybody a lot of trouble as Trump himself said he would not be President if it weren't for Twitter.

Think about that for a second: Fascism is a good thing......... wow

Is Trump an American version of Mussolini? Reading Primo Levi, Umberto Eco and FDR helps us

Like Italy in 1922 America is supposedly under siege by forces seemingly out of our control. The country is overrun by immigrants, mocked on the international stage, and losing its sense of superiority. Along comes Donald Trump who assures us he can restore us to greatness
Notwithstanding the daily admonition to “work with the new administration” and the appropriation of Lincoln’s eloquence to “bind our wounds”, the recent Electoral College victory of Donald Trump (who lost the popular vote) is the symptom of a deep-rooted pathology in American culture. A pathology that has already run through Italian society, not once but twice. First with Benito Mussolini then with Silvio Berlusconi.

We are witnessing what Sinclair Lewis supposedly said 80 years ago. “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

https://www.lavocedinewyork.com/en/2016 ... n-fascism/

Maybe, with any luck at all, Trump will end-up like Mussolini.......

Top Psychologists Compare Trump to Hitler and Mussolini in New Documentary

In the eye-opening documentary “#UNFIT,” premiering in virtual cinemas Aug. 28, psychologists and former allies of President Trump diagnose why he’s a danger to America.

Nick Schager
Published Aug. 21, 2020 4:34AM ET


Donald Trump’s psychosis is on full display for everyone to see, day in and day out, on TV and on Twitter. But for those interested in getting a fuller, damning portrait of his headspace—and who have already devoured his niece Mary Trump’s bestseller Too Much and Never Enough—#Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump has arrived to further mark the current commander-in-chief as a madman ill-suited for public service. Premiering in virtual cinemas on Aug. 28 and on digital/streaming TVOD on Sept. 1, it’s a cogently argued and executed evisceration of a president who’s fundamentally—and dangerously—unworthy of the Oval Office.

Like anything said or written about Trump, Dan Partland’s documentary will be somewhat outdated by the time of its debut; there’s just no way for any film to be totally up-to-the-minute when America’s leader so habitually whips up fresh outrages, gaffes, and scandals. Nonetheless, if it’s missing Trump’s very latest blunders and criminal conduct—such as his neutering of the U.S. Postal Service, and admission that he’s done so to swing the election in his favor—#Unfit remains a valuable peek inside a thoroughly rotten mind up to and including March’s coronavirus outbreak. Guided by interviewees whose commentary is expertly complemented by supporting-evidence clips of Trump saying all sorts of tellingly horrible things, it details the various personality traits that drive his monstrous behavior, and sheds light on how his own failings spell potential doom for American democracy.

Kimberly Guilfoyle is once again the topic of Twitter discussion for her fiery MAGA rhetoric and her dancing, but this time the chatter is about her appearance in a chilling video taken before President Trump’s Save America rally, which later led to a mob attack on the Capitol.

Guilfoyle is shown breaking into a hip-shaking dance while backstage before the rally started, and is then heard encouraging the crowd to “fight” for Trump.

Guilfoyle’s name came up as one of those in Trump’s family and inner circle who, many said, should be investigated for inciting violence committed by the president’s supporters. The riot left five people dead, including a police officer.

On Thursday, U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin on Thursday said the Justice Department wouldn’t rule out pursuing charges against Trump as investigators look at whether other “actors,” who didn’t actually storm the building, should face justice, Politico reported. But the Justice Department appeared to switch gears Friday, with an official saying that Trump and other speakers at the rally were not expected to be criminally charged for inciting a riot.
