#Maddow showed a stunning picture showing former VP #Pence's wife Karen, shutting the window curtain

I wonder if an afternoon snack was served.


#BREAKING:#Maddow showed a stunning picture showing former VP #Pence's wife Karen, shutting the window curtains so that Trump's insurrectionist THUGS, by this time within her eyesight, do not see her husband.

WOW. That's how close the "hang Mike Pence" crowd came.

2. Mother should I trust the government?

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh, ah Mother should I build the wall?

Mother should I run for President?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh ah, Is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
Mama's gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mama's gonna put all her fears into you.
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby,
Of course mama's gonna help build the wall.

Mother do you think she's good enough?
For me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous,
To me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooh ah, Mother will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?

Mother

EXPLICIT
Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean, what they say, mother

Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life?
Can you hide them from the waiting world?
Oh, mother

Father
Gonna take your daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Oh, father

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
'Til I'm bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's

Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh, mother

Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me?
Do you wanna feel everything?
Oh, father

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
'Til I'm bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
'Til you're bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like

And that's where our political discourse nomenclature gets completely screwed up.

"conservative" = resistant to quick change in how society works.

"progressive" = willing to inflict chaos to put change into place quickly, to "progress" to the sort of society they want.

Technically, Republicans are Right-progressive. Democrats are centrist-conservative, leaning toward left-conservative.

That the terms are applied and used opposite their meaning in everyday speech only serves to muddy the waters as much as terms like Milton Friedman's mid-century "neo-liberalism" aka Reaganomics.

And to be clear, I'd take a entire party of liberal, progressive Democrats over anything else, if that's what you are referring to.

Thu Jun 16, 2022, 12:13 PM

All the shit they spewed for decades was prettying up what they REALLY care about.

They NEVER were the "party of family values" or "fiscal conservatives" or "strict constitutionalists."

That was just them counterfeiting things that people care about to make their rubes feel superior and the idiot media to treat them as being more serious than they were.

He scrapped the varnish off of "conservatism" and made it OK to be more overt about it.

There is a reason is he has the highest approval among evangelicals, and got more votes than any other R president.

He is their touchstone.

I don't recall when I knew that he wasn't going to do their thing, yet they entered the area screaming "hang mike pence".

Were those orders given from somewhere outside the march?

Thu Jun 16, 2022, 08:59 AM
Jun 2022

or statement to the effect that he would not comply with Trump's plan. AFAIK this was not a secret, confiddntial statement, but the mob at the Capitol would not have known about it. Too busy attacking Capitol police.

Then Trump tweeted about Pence refusing to help save the election and how disappointed he was with Pence. Several members of the groups attacking the Capitol were checking their Twitter feeds and announced to the mob that Pence was a traitor.

The rest is history.

Thu Jun 16, 2022, 10:15 AM

... because Mike Pence refused to get into the getaway car with secret service agents he didn't know. Their plan was to take him away from the Capitol - not to kill him of course, but to keep him from reconvening the electoral confirmation.

If Mike had left the premises with the secret service agents, then Chump probably would have called off the crazy protesters, because then he could get Plan B going. That was their plan to throw out the electoral votes from PA, MI, WI, AZ the swing states and it would have been enough to throw Biden's confirmation into question. In other words it would have been a major FUBAR - which was exactly what Chump wanted.
