Apparently ashli babbitts family tried taking a memorial stone for ashli into Arlington yesterday and was turned away by security

[bill_g]

If it's that important to them, why didn't they bury her there? This sounds like a planned outrage.

Did she qualify?

Of course, getting killed while committing a crime against the government isn’t a good look.

Isn’t Arlington very orderly in appearance? That memorial is something else.

[Foggy]

Not only is it neat and orderly, every square inch is planned out, because so many people qualify. Ashli Babbitt and her supporters can pound sand.

[bill_g]

We would be proud to display it at Lavoy Finnicum's Memorial.

I'll even throw in a blue tarp folded into a triangle to seal the deal.

When the truck stopped, Pollock got out and stated that Ashli Babbit should be buried in Arlington National Cemetery "right up there with Mr. Lee," an apparent reference to Robert E. Lee whose estate was converted to a cemetery after the Civil War.

Daddy of a cop beater is clueless that Lee is not buried there but in Lexington, Virginia (Washington and Lee University grounds). The article did mention this.

The guy had one job and couldn't even double check to make sure he spelled Rosanne Boyland's name correctly.

[Suranis]

I just checked whether Confederate Soldiers were buried at Arlington and yes they are.

Well, a lot of the MAGAts think that TFG is the second coming of Jesus. Does that count?

Based on their interpretation of Christian ethics, it seems those MAGAts think Jesus was the first coming of Donald Trump.

Jesus was a Capricorn
He ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoes
Long hair, beard, and sandals
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon they'll just hang 'im up
If he comes down again

‘Racial resentment’ a factor in violence of 6 January 2021, study says
Measurable in Trump supporters, psycho-social phenomenon can have consequences for democracy, authors say

Political observers are quick to blame hyperpartisanship and political polarization for leading more than 2,000 supporters of Donald Trump to riot at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.

But according to a recently published study, “racial resentment” – not just partisanship – explains the violence that broke out after the 2020 election.

Angered over the claim, promoted by Trump and his closest allies, that heavily Black cities had rigged the 2020 election in favor of Democrats, white voters – some affiliated with white-nationalist groups and militias, and others acting alone – stormed the US capitol in an attempt to halt the certification of the 2020 election.

“What Trump and Republicans did was they tried to make the point that something nefarious was going on in areas that were primarily African American,” said David Wilson, dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, who published the study with Darren Davis, a professor of political science at Notre Dame.

The paper, Stop the Steal: Racial Resentment, Affective Partisanship, and Investigating the January 6th Insurrection, relied on a national survey of adults in the US conducted in 2021.

Respondents were asked a question assessing their approval or disapproval of the House select committee investigating January 6, and responded to numerous statements evaluating racial resentment, such as “I resent any special considerations that African Americans receive because it’s unfair to other Americans” and “special considerations for African Americans place me at an unfair disadvantage because I have done nothing to harm them”.

The research revealed a correlation between respondents’ feelings of racialized resentment and opposition to the House committee on January 6.

Wilson and Davis also point to the fact that while a slew of polls show the general public split somewhat evenly over the legitimacy of the House select committee, Black Americans overwhelmingly supported the committee’s work, while white poll respondents generally opposed it.

Gee. I'm so shocked. Who knew?

[p0rtia]

What, what, what??? Racism behind MAGAts?

Don't tell me the Guardian is swinging back to Earth 1.

Is there anything more dishonest than a conservative using someone’s own words against them?

The Speaker has no authority over the DC National Guard or the Capitol Police so how could it be her “responsibility “?

And why would she risk her own safety just to make Trump look bad?

[p0rtia]

Simon Ateba is a cottage industry for self-aggrandizement and bullshittery.

For whatever reason, and despite the fact that his news* organization consists of him and only him, the Biden crew gave him a WH press pass when they got into office. He was an increasingly annoying thorn in the side of Jen Psaki back in the early days when her pressers were must see TV. Before he was finally thrown out (during the Karine Jean-Pierre era), it got to the point where the reporters in the room would howl at him to shut the fuck up.

I remember one day when Psaki granted him his wish and let him ask his question. All he could do was rant about how he was never given a chance to ask his questions, which (claimed he) was proof of Biden's prejudice against reporters from Africa.

There was some footage released over the weekend, it was of Pelosi and others in Congress trying to find out if someone called in The Guard and what was their ETA. They were getting the runaround from the DC Guard.

So despite what they’re saying she said “in her own words!” she didn’t really say she was responsible for the lack of security?

Yes.

If someone says, "Call the police," that doesn't mean they have the authority to tell the police what to do.
