Today in Fascism

As the Senate and McConnell join hands with the executive branch, basically telling the American people and the Constitution to fuck off, the Republic wilts.

The republic is dead and its those who claim to wave the flag hardest caught standing with the murder weapon in their hands.

Newsweek has an article about "Project Lincoln" --

Conway retorted that being Republican used to mean standing up to fiscal responsibility, free markets, the rule of law and against foreign tyrants, Now, he told Newsweek it seems being conservative or Republican, as defined by the "Republican Party apparatus," means one thing, "unwavering fidelity to the incompetent, narcissistic, sociopath in the White House, and to his senseless, self-serving whims."

"We aim to restore conservatism to a set of enduring principles and to save it from the cult of personality some have caused it to become," Conway said.

If they can pull it off by election day, that might make me a Republican again.

“U.S. Naval Academy officials have appointed a preliminary inquiry officer to conduct an internal investigation into the hand gestures made during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast prior to yesterday’s Army-Navy game,” Cmdr. Alana Garas, a spokeswoman for the academy, said in a statement Sunday afternoon. “Based on findings of the investigation, those involved will be held appropriately accountable.”

An Army Cadet was also seen separately making the same gesture.

“West Point is looking into the matter. At this time we do not know the name of the cadets,” spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Ophardt said in a statement late Saturday.

The gesture in question is when someone forms the “OK” sign with their fingers and thumb — a sign that can be associated with white nationalism.

There was disagreement online about the meaning of the gesture, with some Twitter users retweeting a video clip from the broadcast and remarking that they believed the students were making a hate symbol. Others saw it more innocuously, believing the gesture was a sign that is part of the “Circle Game” played by kids. That game is commonly played when a person forms an “OK” with their hand below their waist to trick a second person into looking at it and getting punched.

So sad that you hang your political hat on a gesture that started as a prank. Your intellectual level must be pretty low... even for a Democrat.

Crash and burn poser.... just don't do it in Temecula because it's out of your price range. Lol!!!

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (AP) — The White House said that President Donald Trump was “just riffing” when he took a swipe at the late Rep. John Dingell during a raucous impeachment-day rally, drawing a quick rebuke from the longtime Michigan congressman's widow and successor in the House.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Thursday on ABC's “Good Morning America" that she did not know why Trump decided to suggest that Dingell was in hell. “You'd have to talk to the president about that," she said.
But Grisham added that Trump is a "counter-puncher," and suggested Trump was venting his frustration after being impeached by the House. "It was a very very supportive and wild crowd and he was just riffing on some of the things that had been happening the past few days.”
Trump told the Battle Creek rally that Debbie Dingell had thanked him profusely for providing “A-plus treatment” after her husband's death in February, including ordering flags flown at half-staff.
He quoted her as saying, “Thank you so much. John would be so thrilled. He's looking down.”
Then he added: “I said, 'That's OK. Don't worry about it.' Maybe he's looking up. I don't know.”
The remark drew wary oohs and aahs from the crowd in Michigan, where John Dingell was a powerful advocate for the state he represented for more than 59 years. The comment came shortly after Debbie Dingell voted in favor of two articles of impeachment against the president.
Trump then offered: “But let's assume he's looking down.”
Debbie Dingell tweeted her response, telling Trump: “Mr. President, let’s set politics aside. My husband earned all his accolades after a lifetime of service. I’m preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love. You brought me down in a way you can never imagine and your hurtful words just made my healing much harder.”
John Dingell was the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history
His widow wasn't the only one upset by the president's comment.
Republican congressman Fred Upton of Michigan, who voted against impeaching Trump, tweeted: “I’ve always looked up to John Dingell - my good friend and a great Michigan legend. There was no need to 'dis' him in a crass political way. Most unfortunate and an apology is due.”
