Republicans: continued

[Seabass]

It's basically the most recent in a litany of barely concealed Republican and conservative dog whistles.

This isn't a dog whistle. They're passing laws. They're white washing history. It's part of their full on attack on objective truth.

Can't it be both? Their justifications strike me as a being a dog whistle - racist, with a thin veneer of reasonableness and concern, appealling to a primed and triggered sense of white fragility, and offered to bolster particular political, capital, and class interests.

Sure, I'm just saying they're beyond sending signals to the racist base, and actually taking action in the form of the laws that they're passing.

So we agree. It isn't just a dog whistle.

Representative Jim Jordan knows that malicious delusions are the currency of the day in the Republican Party, and he's not going to be left out of the carnival.

''Rep. Jim Jordan Outraged About DOJ Refusal To Investigate Italian Space Laser Election Fraud'

Congressman Jim Jordan is big mad. Why won’t the Justice Department investigate the extremely credible claim that Italian satellites threw the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden? Not even after White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows sent him a YouTube video “proving” it!

“That is a problem,” the Ohio congressman thundered at yesterday’s Oversight Committee hearing on the Capitol Insurrection, referring to the recently released cache of emails showing a sustained pressure campaign by the White House to force the Justice Department to interfere in the 2020 election. “When the chief of staff to the president of the United States asks someone in the executive branch to do something, and they basically give him the finger, I think that’s the problem we should be looking into.”

To be clear, the Italygate theory is beyond batshit. It involves Barack Obama amassing a secret $400 million war chest, then cahootsing with former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to disrupt vote tabulation in key swing states using Italian military satellites. And somehow this was all coordinated at the US Embassy in Rome, according to Brad Johnson, a self-described retired “CIA Station Chief” and current Epoch Times columnist.

On New Years Day, Meadows forwarded a video by Johnson entitled “Rome, Satellites, Servers: an Update” to acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen. Unfortunately said video has since been removed for violating YouTube’s terms of service, which just goes to show how far THEY will go to hide the truth!

Rudy Giuliani also tried to get the FBI to engage with Johnson, and called it “an insult” when AG Rosen invited him to walk into the nearest FBI field office and tell the nice man at the counter all about the #ItalyDidIt plot.

[Joe]

Yeah, but the whole thing is moot since the Jewish space lasers shot down the Italian satellites. Jordan needs to keep up.

Either that, or he needs electroconvulsive therapy.

Meanwhile, back at the fun-house, Gohmert, Greene, and Gaetz singing from the Tucker Carlson hymnbook. It was the FBI what done it!

The FBI is a marxist plot!

Michigan moving in Arizona direction. At least GOP all fired up with Witch stealing election.

In March, Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser called Whitmer and the two other top female leaders in state government “witches” who should be “burning at the stake.” His co-chair, Meshawn Maddock, helped organize buses to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 and spoke at a rally there before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. She also recently suggested that Michigan secede from the U.S., Brexit style. And her husband, state Rep. Matt Maddock, has introduced a bill that would require fact-checkers — like those who have called out the couple’s dubious election claims — to register with the state and insure themselves, or pay up to $1,000 a day in fines if they don’t.

Meanwhile, conservative activists are furious with Reps. Peter Meijer and Fred Upton, two Michiganders who were among the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in January for his role in the Capitol riot. They also have called for the ouster or censure of the state party’s executive director, who has said Trump “blew” the 2020 election.

That would be fantastic. God forbid Americans be allowed to vote and have all our votes count equally. Jesus christ I hate these people.
