Practice saying this: "That is total bullshit and only a lying asshole would say something

so obviously false".

Use this whenever you hear something as nauseating as GOP Rep. Clyde's remark that January 6th was like a "normal tourist day". It is much less than the traitorous pus-bag deserves, but I don't want you to get yourself arrested.

... of the Speaker's Lobby in the moments before vacationer Ashli Babbitt was fatality shot climbing through one of the just broken windows.

I've never had a sightseeing experience like that.

Reminds me of some news report I heard a few years back - some Afghan person was attempting to say "terrorist" but it came out sounding like "tourist". Sounds like to me Rep Clyde was having a pronunciation issue.

Does he walk into walls?

Maybe he should have that type of "normal tourism" at his home then.


Anybody who actually believes this asshole is not worth worrying about.

In today's ReTrumplican Party it's a path to career advancement.

Every time they say something like this my mind goes back to what I was watching that day. It reminds me, once again, how horrific what they were doing. It reminds me that people were breaking into the Capital building of the United States. That they were using violence and real weapons. They weren't tourists. Every time the repubs say something like this it reminds me of what actually was happening. Over the years, I have found that many, many people think the same way I do. I often found myself the person willing to ask the question or make the observation. Almost always people would come a tell me 'thank you' for saying something. I honestly think the repubs are doing more harm than good to themselves with this type of lie. I certainly hope so. They certainly deserve all the "harm" that can come their way.

....of seniors' bus tours from Peoria. His assertion is not only as covered with suppurating boils as he should be, but so asinine it shouldn't be dignified with a response.

But you just can't ignore insurrection.
