That video was hilarious. Why do they love to share their fails? Just can't understand that.

It's clearly Joe Biden's fault. He should SUE!

Scir, you have some pretty crazy friends.

"friends"? Ha ha - 1 way Booby blocked me on the twitter a long time ago. He doesn't like the pretend me much. I might have mocked him on his twitter and he didn't like it much.

Thought you'd catch that, you know I think you're awesome. And really, you are about the only friend they have that even pays attention to them (until you introduce them to us). They should consider that and treat you with respect!

Maybe they can spend their honeymoon in Leavenworth.

How Dumb Is Bobby Powell? This Dumb...

1 way Booby asks a question. Answer is that he is dumber than shit. He refused free pizza from Goblin of course back in the day. Evidently he crashed his motorcycle and maybe broke his shoulder. Booby was at the insurrection - IDK why he has not been arrested yet.

I’m in the ER getting treated for a broken right shoulder, and minor bleeding in the noggin. Thank you for your prayers. I’m tough. I’ll be fine.

I have to give limited credit for him saying "kids, don't try this at home."
Beyond that, he's a dumb-ass.

"For completeness," Gallups on Freedom Friday had "interviewed"* on February 12 one Jesus Rivera, a local Florida Man charged on January 20 for crimes committed on January 6. (Rivera had uploaded to Facebook a video of his being outside of the Capitol.)

To recap:
Jan. 6: Assaults Capitol.
Jan. 20: Arrested.
Feb. 12: Brags on Freedom Friday about said assault and arrest.




* TL;DRL. But the "interview" starts around the 45-minute mark.

The United States military is one of the nation's most trusted institutions. But 'enemies' lie in the ranks

I wonder who is the highest-ranking 'enemy'? (Now that Trump is gone, of course.)

Officer Evans, who died as a result of this gate-crasher, grew up in the Berkshires of Western MA (where my mother's family is from), and is a graduate of Western New England College (now University) (where ms got her law degree)

A Kaysville man who formerly worked as a Salt Lake City police officer has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly taking part in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Michael Lee Hardin, 50, was taken into custody without incident by members of the FBI’s joint terrorism task force, with assistance from the Utah’s State Bureau of Investigation, for “crimes committed at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.,” according to a news release from the FBI’s Utah office.

A spokeswoman for the Salt Lake City Police Department confirmed that Hardin was an officer there until his retirement in 2017. He served with the city police for about two decades and was named the department’s Officer of the Year in 2012 for solving a 25-year-old murder case.

The FBI caught Hardin by following up on tips from two people who know him, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice. The first tipster, a friend of Hardin who used him as a financial adviser, said Hardin called Jan. 4 to say he was heading to Washington to fight for the United States.

Fears of White People Losing Out Permeate Capitol Rioters’ Towns, Study Finds
Counties with the most significant declines in the non-Hispanic white population were the most likely to produce insurrectionists.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/06/us/p ... study.html

When the political scientist Robert Pape began studying the issues that motivated the 380 or so people arrested in connection with the attack against the Capitol on Jan. 6, he expected to find that the rioters were driven to violence by the lingering effects of the 2008 Great Recession.

But instead he found something very different: Most of the people who took part in the assault came from places, his polling and demographic data showed, that were awash in fears that the rights of minorities and immigrants were crowding out the rights of white people in American politics and culture.

If Mr. Pape’s initial conclusions — published on Tuesday in The Washington Post — hold true, they would suggest that the Capitol attack has historical echoes reaching back to before the Civil War, he said in an interview over the weekend. In the shorter term, he added, the study would appear to connect Jan. 6 not only to the once-fringe right-wing theory called the Great Replacement, which holds that minorities and immigrants are seeking to take over the country, but also to events like the far-right rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 where crowds of white men marched with torches chanting, “Jews will not replace us!”

“If you look back in history, there has always been a series of far-right extremist movements responding to new waves of immigration to the United States or to movements for civil rights by minority groups,” Mr. Pape said. “You see a common pattern in the Capitol insurrectionists. They are mainly middle-class to upper-middle-class whites who are worried that, as social changes occur around them, they will see a decline in their status in the future.”

A continuing reduction in the white percentage of the US population over the next few decades is already baked in. It will happen even if all immigration were to cease. I fear that violent disgruntled whites will be a problem for a long time.
