  This should terrify everyone, she literally suggested for martial law to assist what would be a failed attempt at a coup on Jan 6 with no consequences. Surprise surprise they’re trying again. To reiterate in case someone missed it, there is an active coup that is being enabled by parts of the government.
context: Sounds like something that was given up for the Speakership. >
  
  Kevin cut a ton of shitty deals for that gavel. He didn't care what happened as long as he got his spot. >
  
  Paraphrasing Liz Cheney ‘Whenever Mr. McCarthy had the opportunity to do the right thing or to do what serves his political purpose he always chose to serve his political purpose.’ >
  
  Liz is real high and mighty after doing the right thing once >
  
  I mean that's solidly above average for a republican. >
  
  She's a throwback Cheney/Bush/Rumsfeld Republican. Those guys were (and still are) all hell-bent on American imperialism and hegemony. It's insane. But at least she has a bullshit filter and a deep respect for the rules and norms of the American system. 
  I disagree with her on almost everything, but we desperately need more people like her in Congress. People who actually believe in something. People who care more about the country than their party or the next election. >
  
  Warmongering authoritarians are slightly better than fascists >
  
  They're the opening act >
  
  Yup, just cos they're the last to go, doesn't mean you have to worship them for token resistance lmfao. >
  
  Now now, we don't want to throw the zombie baby out with the putrid, infectious bath-water. >
  
  The woman that said they would've been armed and would've won if she led the January 6th rally, is now on the Homeland Security Committee. 
  Make it make sense, America >
  
  The Nazi rise to power
  
  The ~~Nazis~~ Republicans started advocating clear messages tailored to a broad range of people and their problems. The propaganda aimed to exploit people’s fear of uncertainty and instability. These messages varied from ~~‘Bread and Work’~~ 'Build the Wall', aimed at the working class and the fear of unemployment, to a ~~‘Mother and Child’ poster portraying the Nazi ideals regarding woman~~ Muslim immigration ban. ~~Jews~~ Illegal immigrants and ~~Communists~~ transgender athletes also featured heavily in the ~~Nazi~~ Republican propaganda as enemies of the ~~German~~ American people.  
  ~~Joseph Goebbels~~ Fox News was key to the ~~Nazis~~ Republican use of propaganda to increase their appeal. ~~Goebbels~~ Fox News joined the ~~Nazi~~ Republican Party in ~~1924~~ 1970 and became the ~~Gauleiter for Berlin in 1926~~ number one news cable channel in 2002. ~~Goebbels~~ Fox News used a combination of modern media, such as ~~films~~ Facebook and radio, and traditional campaigning tools such as posters and newspapers to reach as many people as possible. It was through this technique that he began to build an image of ~~Hitler~~ Trump as a strong, stable leader that ~~Germany~~ America needed to become ~~a~~ great ~~power~~ again. >
  
  Excellent, simple illustration of the parallels between the modern Republican Party and the Nazi Party leading up to their seize of power. >
  
  There was also a failed coup precursor called the Beer Hall Putsch. >
  
  Yeah I'm surprised they didn't link to that. 
  It's going even better this time around, the leader isn't even in prison. If he was literate he could write his own mein kempf from his shitty hotel >
  
  Donald would just use a ghost writer anyway. Then 95% of his base wouldn't even read the thing but they'd listen intently when their media of choice told them it contained the literal word of god. >
  
  I wonder how many major things will just get missed because they're too busy trying to score points with their base in the media? >
  
  I'm having a flash back to some report about planes, Osama Bin Laden and attacking in the US, or something else vague like that. >
  
  Bin Laden determined to attack the US was the headline of a Presidential Daily Briefing from Aug 2001. >
  
  In December of 98, the CIA reported to the Clinton Administration that al-Qaeda was preparing to attack the United States using hijacked airliners. >
  
  Was this after the Tanzanian bombing, but before the U.S.S. Cole bombing? Lot of shit was going down at the turn of the century. >
  
  All while Republicans insisted Clinton testify in front of grand juries over an extramarital affair and go through impeachment hearings.  Imagine if Clinton wasn't distracted with their crap... >
  
  But, but he stained that nice girl’s dress. >
  
  I do believe it was a group effort. >
  
  Clinton stained the dress, the GOP gang banged her ability to go on and have a normal life afterward. >
  
  The way she was treated was horrific. I'm about her age and it took me years after to understand the disparity between consent and the imbalance of power between them.
  I'm ashamed for not understanding it fully, though we didn't really have the words for it at the time. >
  
  This is America. Take part in a failed coup, remain in congress, and get a job in homeland security. >
  
  Yep.  Insane isn’t it? >
  
  Her first request is to ask for EVERYTHING they have on the DC Jan 6th bomber? >
  
  I believe without a doubt it was her.  She's that level of insane. >
  
  The only reason I DONT think she did it is because she’s so battery-licking stupid, that I don’t think she could have achieved any of it without blowing her own stupid as fuck face off. >
  
  
  battery-licking stupid, 
  
  As someone that tests their 9v batteries this way, I'm offended. >
  
  It depends on if you’re licking the batteries for business or pleasure. >
  
  What about business and pleasure? >
  
  They make it so obvious they're trying to be terrible at running the country on purpose >
  
  they are going to spend their time tearing down the government as much as possible, while attempting to keep the hoi polloi distracted with multiple Biden investigations and debt ceiling debacles >
  
  I guess this is the one victory Putin can actually celebrate. >
  
  If these people had the Senate they'd be cutting Ukraine off and throwing them to the wolves. >
  
  They are still going to try with just the house.   Shit, it might be one of their conditions for not crashing the US economy. >
  
  There will be another Charlie Wilson that will back door money to Kyiv to fuck the Soviets >
  
  Maybe her years of harassing victims of school shootings prepared her for this important role. >
  
  She was just on Alex Jones’s podcast, to boot.
  You can listen to Knowledge Fight’s analysis on their episode 767 for January 12, 2023. >
  
  Of course she was
  The Venn diagram of people who like and support her and Alex Jones beliefs is a circle >
  
  Many of them seemingly hate her too though for McCarthy getting the speaker position and her playing a part in that.
