Why I Love Chris Rose
How did a fey, weakling, incurious, gorging, cowardly bully take control of an entire American political party and drag the country into ruin and division? What could anyone possibly fear in this man? His Tweets? Jesus Fuckballs, he's a bloated shit cake with no empathy, intelligence or imagination. It boggles the mind.

My Thoughts & Feelings Captured

Anti-Maskers Are Such Fools
I am that employee. It’s been a long 9 months dealing with this kind of thing. He was by far the worst. He earned himself a criminal trespass from our store and a call from the local PD

How Did He Get Elected???
- Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, released an action video on Sunday of himself parachuting into Georgia and fighting antifa activists in support of Republican Senate candidates.
- The video is intended to support Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, who are running against Democratic opponents in runoff elections next month, seeking to secure Republican control of the Senate.
- Retired Gen. Raymond Thomas, a former head of US Special Operations Command, called the video "embarrassing" and said he thought it was a "Saturday Night Live" skit.

Call His Bluff
***** FIVE STARS! … 👏
Excellent actor Edward Norton absolutely nails it as he goes off on Trump on FB today:
"I’m no political pundit but I grew up with a dad who was a federal prosecutor, and he taught me a lot.
I’ve also sat at a fair amount of poker tables with serious players, and l’ll say this: I do not think Trump is trying to ‘make his base happy’ or ‘laying the groundwork for his own network’ or that ‘chaos is what he loves’.
The core of it is that he knows he’s in deep, multi-dimensional legal jeopardy, and this defines his every action.
We’re seeing 1) a tactical delay of the transition to buy time for a coverup and evidence suppression 2) above all, a desperate endgame, which is to create enough chaos and anxiety about a peaceful transfer of power, and fear of irreparable damage to the system, that he can cut a Nixon-style deal in exchange for finally conceding.
But he doesn’t have the cards. His bluff after ‘the flop’ has been called in court. His ‘turn card’ bluff will be an escalation and his ‘river card’ bluff could be really ugly. But they have to be called. We cannot let this mobster bully the USA into a deal to save his ass by threatening our democracy.
THAT is his play. But he’s got junk in his hand. So call him.
I will allow that he’s also a whiny, sulky, petulant, Grinchy, vindictive little 10-ply-super-soft bitch, who no doubt is just throwing a wicked pout fest and trying to give a tiny-hand middle finger to the whole country for pure spite, without a single thought for the dead and dying.
But his contemptible, treasonous, seditious assault on the stability of our political compact isn’t about 2024, personal enrichment or anything else other than trying to use chaos and threats to the foundation of the system as leverage to trade for a safe exit.
Call. His. Bluff.
Faith in the strength of our sacred institutions and founding principles is severely stretched, but they will hold. They will. He’s leaving, gracelessly and in infamy. But if we trade for it, give him some brokered settlement, we’ll be vulnerable to his return.
We can’t flinch."
See Ya, Alex Jones
From Newsweek:
Conspiracy theorist and internet personality Alex Jones told a crowd of pro-Trump protesters in Washington, D.C. on Saturday that President-elect Joe Biden "will be removed one way or another," while addressing the protesters from a stage.
In a clip shared on Twitter, the Infowars owner spoke to protesters at the second Million MAGA March, where supporters of President Donald Trump fought against the results of the election, which show that he lost to Biden.
Jones, who has shared a number of disproven conspiracy theories in his online show and podcast, seemingly referenced the far-right QAnon conspiracy, which alleges that Trump is secretly fighting against a cult of Democratic Satanic pedophiles. QAnon has been widely dismissed and disproven. Jones also seemingly suggested that Biden is actually an undead entity.
"We will never back down to the Satanic pedophile, globalist New World Order and their walking-dead reanimated corpse Joe Biden, and we will never recognize him," he said.
Jones continued, alleging that Trump had no connections to Russia, but implied that Biden did. "President Trump had zero connection to Russians. No proof. Four years of investigation. With the Bidens, it's open and shut," he shouted. This is seemingly a reference to conspiracy theories and allegations that Biden's son Hunter was involved in international corruption. Hunter Biden is currently being investigated for his business dealings by the Justice Department, as the Biden transition team revealed on Wednesday.
Jones also accused Biden of being a "globalist" before saying he'll be removed. While not explicitly violent, Jones' speech is certainly suggestive of violent action being taken against the president-elect. As previously reported, there have been numerous videos that have surfaced of violent altercations between people identified as Proud Boys and counter-protesters.
Lincoln Project Florida Steering Committee member David Weissman noted that Jones' remarks could be considered anti-Semitic and suggested that he should be arrested for inciting violence. Some people responded to Weissman by suggesting that people tip off the FBI about Jones and his comments.
Others shared similar thoughts on Twitter, some tagging the FBI's and Secret Service's accounts, asking for Jones to be investigated for inciting violence and to be charged with treason.
Other videos have surfaced of Jones sharing conspiracies about "world government" and the election being "stolen" from Trump. "World government is here, and the system is publicly stealing this election from the biggest landslide and the biggest political realignment since 1776," he said.
