See Hawley Run, Jan 6, GOP, Tucker, Secret Service Secrets, Abortion


Oh puhleeeze watch this for 12 seconds:

  • In Letters from an American, noted historian Heather Cox Richardson provides an overview, then a detailed account, of Thursday’s hearing. Trump’s deliberate inaction, and his fumbling resentments flowing even beyond the day of violence show a deliberate fanning of the flames. While Trump does not come off well, Senator Josh Hawley(Republican from here in Missouri) comes off worse: a tough talking bully who quickly gets frightened right down to his running shoes.
     
    She quotes journalist Adam Serwer:
    Hawley riling up the mob and then fleeing in terror is an incredible political metaphor.
     
  • Tough talk, raised fist supporting insurrectionists, instructing Americans that they are no longer masculine enough, explaining how to man up. In Hackwhackers, Senator Hawley runs in panic from the same lynch mob he had cheered on. The video has gone viral.
     
    He is up for re-election in 2024. I wonder if he will be, you know, running.
     
  • Frances Langum brings us Capitol Officer Michael Fanone, with some choice words for poor frightened Josh.
     
  • The Palmer Report believes the January 6 Committee has finally discovered the shared hidden weakness of Misters Trump and Hawley.
     
    The Achilles heel of Washington heels.
     
  • Former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler testifies as ordered before the January 6 Committee, but doesn’t like it at all. tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors relays a couple of phrases from the resulting diatribe.
     
    In Garrett’s view female witnesses are garden utensils come on, you know what I’m saying. He also applies a term I had to look up. Hip young misogynists use it to describe women they consider too sexually active.
     
    Damn, I’m old!
     
    I am a little more familiar with Ben Shapiro, a virulent conservative who considers any Jew who voted against Trump as a bad Jew, a JINO – Jewish In Name Only.
     
    Apparently Mr. Ziegler explodes against fellow rightist Ben because he is Jewish.
     
    Ted McLaughlin helpfully offers Garrett a bit of useful career advice.
     
  • It seems Garrett Ziegler is not the only right-wing activist who hates fellow right-wing activists if they are Jewish. M. Bouffant at Web of Evil shows us the evidence as the right-wingers of the right wing revert to earlier roots.
     
  • Dave Dubya suggests the Zieglar rant is dangerously iconic: a view of future possibilities.
     
  • Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson does not seem enthused about the current crop of Wisconsin Republican candidates:

  • CalicoJack in The Psy of Life talks about the story being told by the Committee from a different point of analysis: why a story is important to understanding.
     
    Best line:
    Lucky for us all the pointy heads over in the psychology ivory tower looking down on all us peons trying to infect us with their communist socialist feminist hatred of America for our freedoms have come up with narrative psychology.

A few tweets I thought worthy:
