The Radical Right

[Anomalocaris]

Democrats want to trade something to the peons to continue the corporatist grift.  Republicans won't be doing that, they're just going to grift harder, because fuck us is why.  There's a gaping social difference, but the right doesn't actually believe in any of that puritan culture war shit, as they're perverts and race traitors down to the last man.

Pity your Constitution won’t allow a foreign-born president. Your current crop of possibles aren’t terribly impressive.

Pity indeed,  even a president of non-human parentage born on a different planet would surely not be worse than some of that crop.

Because nothing says "throw the book at me" like being a dickweed to the judge, Einstein:

Proud Boys member Marc Bru has been sentenced to six years in prison on charges related to storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 after he insulted the judge who punished him.

Bru repeatedly interrupted Chief Judge James Boasberg, calling him a “clown” and a “fraud” presiding over a “kangaroo court.” Boasberg warned him that he could be kicked out of the courtroom if he continued, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

“You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again,” said Bru, who was handcuffed and shackled. Boasberg determined Bru had no remorse.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a statement that Bru, a resident of Vancouver, Washington, was also fined $7,946 and owes $2,000 in restitution.

Bru, a member of the far-right Proud Boys militia group from Washington state, was found guilty in October of felonies related to the insurrection, including obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder and multiple misdemeanors for participating in the riots and entering the Capitol building.

Yep. You know, I love to compare how our republic started with how it's going. Started out insisting that a presidents loyalty be unquestionable. Beyond even the hint of impropriety. Now, impropriety and disloyalty are requirements in republican primaries.

The only trouble I can see is that the supply of Bernadottes is pretty limited.

SEATTLE (AP) — Law enforcement discovered a cache of weaponry and armor, including a machine gun and grenade launchers, along with Nazi paraphernalia during a raid of a home in Washington state, authorities said Tuesday.

Derek Sanders, the elected sheriff of Thurston County, said in a Facebook post that the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division asked his office for assistance Monday as an FBI special weapons and tactics team executed a search warrant in Lacey, near the state capitol of Olympia, “as a result of a violent robbery and theft of military weaponry/armor.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle said in a statement to The Associated Press on Tuesday night that the search warrant related to an Army CID and FBI investigation into an assault Sunday at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, just north of Olympia.

Sanders’ statement said two people were arrested and booked into Thurston County Jail for investigation of firearms-related offenses.

“The suspects identified in this case were actively involved in Nazi White Nationalist efforts,” he wrote.

Sorry for the necropost, but given the state of American politics, I hope staff sees fit to make an exception.
