If he thinks that the Biden-led United States is an unacceptably restrictive and oppressive society, Belarus will be a big eye-opener for him.

I expect him to have a jolly time in a Belarus which is reeling from Western sanctions and where (I expect) he doesn't speak the language.

I wonder how long it will take him to realize that the real Belarus is not quite the American Belarus he sought. Oh wait, that might require more brain cells than holes in his belt. Never mind.

From the article:

"I am glad Belarus took care of me. I am upset to find myself in a situation where I have problems in my own country."
Notice how his wording of "finding myself in a situation" is an attempt to remove his responsibility for being in that very situation. He didn't 'find himself' in that situation: he put himself there by his own actions. What a moron.

With one exception:If they want to go to Belarus or Russia, let them.
Because:
A: Good Riddence to bad garbage and
B. Life in those two countries will soon be worse punishment then anything we can legally do to them.

Gee I dunno what happened. I woke up and there I was in the Capitol.
 
Justice Thomas's crazy wife urged Mark Meadows to fight the election results.
Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in a series of urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks after the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News.

The messages — 29 in all — reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and President Donald Trump’s top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to negate the election results.

On another board there is a guy claiming that one piece of evidence supporting the no-insurrection theory is that no one can produce the 100,000 assault rifles.
Any idea what this might be?

From The Hill:
In one of the 29 texts exchanged between Ginni Thomas and Meadows, sent on Nov. 10, she wrote: “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!...You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History,” according to the Post.

The text was sent shortly after many media outlets began projecting then-nominee Joe Biden as the country's next president.

“This is a fight of good versus evil,” Meadows wrote to Thomas on Nov. 24, per the Post. “Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC on it.”

Clarence Thomas was the only Justice to vote against the Jan.6 Commission's request for Trump documents relating to the insurrection from the National Archives. What was all that screaming from the right wing about "judicial activism"?

She's drunk the Kool Aid for sure. Those texts really do sound like they come from someone who is literally insane.

She's been insane her entire life, including in her youth when she joined some weird cult. But yeah, you'd really think that the powerful wife of a Supreme Court justice being Q-Anon levels of crazy would be a bigger deal.


But, after reportedly flunking the bar exam, she fell in with a cultish self-help group, Lifespring, whose members were encouraged to strip naked and mock one another’s body fat. She eventually broke away, and began working for the Chamber of Commerce, opposing “comparable worth” pay for women.

A match made in heaven. Ginni, a woman opposed to women's rights, and Thomas, a black man opposed to civil rights law.

ETA: It's becoming increasingly obvious that Thomas was engaged in a variety of impeachable conflicts of interests, mostly through his wife, but that won't matter so long as Democrats don't have the votes in the Senate. May become a moot point if Thomas dies

The more we find out about what went on...and is still going on... in the GOP under Trump the more disgusted I am with them and those who support them. Scary as hell. If they ever get control of the Congress and White House again, it will be the biggest danger to this country since the Civil War.

McCarthy's response is quite telling as well referencing Dump as the king of kings. :eye-poppi

Thomas responded to that email from McCarthy with this:

“Thank you!! Needed that! This plus a conversation with my best friend just now… I will try to keep holding on. America is worth it!”

It's suspected that's code for her husband as he's called her his 'best friend'.

“My wife is my best friend. I can rant with her.

(New Yorker, Aug. 22, 2011)

“My best friend”, although veiled, was beyond doubt a reference to her husband, according to Mayer of the New Yorker, who tweeted: “‘best friend’ is how the Thomases refer to one another”.

"All other federal judges, including appeals court judges, are subject to a rule that says that they must recuse themselves in any matter in which “he or his spouse” is a party to, or has an interest in, the proceedings.

Supreme court justices are required to recuse if their impartiality “might reasonably be questioned”. But as the constitutional law expert Steve Vladeck noted, there is no effective enforcement mechanism, underlining the need for a more solid set of ethics rules.

The exposure of Ginni Thomas’s texts was revealed by Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, and his Washington Post colleague Robert Costa, adding a patina of journalistic royalty to the furore, which has left even observers well versed in Thomas’s extreme politics astounded by how far she was willing to go in espousing a political coup on behalf of Trump.

Seeing that a lot these days. Can't control the President, can't control SC, can't control insane congress people. How did this country survive this long?

When will our 2nd amendment militia groups come to the rescue? When faceless and nameless federal agents start picking people up off the streets of Oregon? No wait, that happened already.

Well surely they'll arrive when the President and his dorks try and overtake the Capitol? Oh, they were there alright, attacking our country.

I thought the 2A was designed to save us from our government? Well...here we are!!! So wassup bitches?

We can now see how entirely full of crap that defense of the 2A is. Time to can it!

Sorry that's all I have right now. Very bummed and upset these days.

I know. I started writing a new "I'm leaving" post but ****, I don't know if talking here helps with the stress or makes it worse! The news is bad, maybe that's the problem and I figure talking here with like minded people should help. Kind of a bad week for me though.
