Hey Pepe, here's something for your "oh but it's never going to happen" far-right criminal protest log.


Stop. Just stop. Haven't we had enough of this f*****g s**t on an Autism support site?

I didn't think it would happen either. I was wrong.

This claim of election fraud is disputed, and this Tweet can’t be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence
That says quite a lot right there.

He can now claim that he "made the effort" while knowing full well that his "effort" would be denied.

You weren't a condescending dick who resorted to yammering about his own intellectual superiority when asked to make a case why the pseudo-fascist wasn't going to act like a pseudo-fascist. It turns out a lot of people don't appreciate posters who are rude trolls.

What's the matter?  Does the truth you denied for so long hurt so much?

If you think that is an apology, you are mistaken.  Try again.

Yeah....obviously....but true, nevertheless.

There was no irony in McCarthy's interview. He spoke from true feeling. He's a Republican. He's a Conservative. But he's not a nut like Trump.


McConnell is the one that supported the Tea Party protests. He was the one that delegitimized a sitting president in order to stuff the judiciary with political appointees. He has delegitimized our public institutions and parties--that is not the same as simply criticizing them. He encouraged the corrupt action of the Trump administration and threw fuel on the fire of this attempted coup.

No, he is not a nut. He is an opportunist that will use raw power to achieve his personal goals. And this is not a "well, both sides do it" argument. This shift to authoritarianism has been the Republicans doing with him at the helm. The fact he does not see the irony in the outcome he laid the path for does not surprise me.

And lets put this into context: a sitting president urged his supporters to storm the capitol and overturn a democratic election. And the strange thing is no one is surprised.

After President told his irate supporters to fight for him, rioters marched to the Capitol and violently breached the building in an attempted coup.  The attack came after an unhinged speech from President Donald Trump on the National Mall, in which he told his supporters to fight for him as he continued to refuse to accept his clear election loss; and sure enough, thousands of his irate supporters unleashed their fury on democracy.

This is Trump's vision of America.  This is how Trump plotted to "Make America Great Again" -- by violent overthrow of the lawful American government.



Will Donald now send in his troops to get rid of the terrorists that are attacking the state capital. :lol:

Shocked, but not surprised.

This is an example of Trump's America.  This coup attempt is how Trump planned to "Make America Great Again".

I wouldn't mind if lot of those rude trolls left this place and it becomes wokeplanet. They will just find their own platform and they can ban anyone woke and anti racist.

No bait.

I am just pointing out the hypocrisy behind wanting a coup and than complaining that the coup is being televised.

Reminded me of, wait, I was told to not make that comparison so I cant answer this honestly. Just reminds me if the KKK. That's better and appropriate answer for here. :wink:

I suspect that the mods are giving a lot of us a little more leeway after having been proven right all along.

After a little more steam has been blown off, I expect them to show up with their well-padded truncheons to remind us that this is an autism support site and not a message board for the Anti-Trump Resistance.
