Elise Stefanik is so nakedly angling for 2024 here its just disgusting. She is the only one still gunning for this, so she'll be the Trumpers' hero.

The redistricting commission could do away with her

Liberals would do well to reflect on this quote by Martin Luther King, there is a lot of truth to it with regard to how many Americans feel.

A riot is the language of the unheard - Martin Luther King

If there is one thing on God's green Earth that a trump supporter is not, it's unheard. You can't open a paper without reading yet another profile of one of their diners in the middle of nowhere. They are not an oppressed minority like African Americans in the civil rights era, they are a coddled, romanticized minority that uses violence and corruption to achieve their political goals and to stay in power despite almost always receiving less votes than the majority party.

Don't twist Dr. King's words to defend racists, neo-nazis and murderers. It's disgusting.

All the major institutions, corporations, academia, media, the entertainment industry are opposed to Trump supporters who are ridiculed and often lose their jobs for the views, they are an oppressed group, they are oppressed by all of the major institutions and their voices are not listened to by any major institution in America except for now the WH.

corporations and major institutions, are you serious. Trumpists in america have a easy ride and are privileged people who have too much power

I wonder if Chicago will forcibly remove Trump's name from Trump tower that facing the Chicago River. Its so big and bold in the middle  of the city, and I think the city's residents will definitely want it removed or moved elsewhere(kinda like Trump tower outside of the strip in Las Vegas)

Was Ben Shapiro actually suggesting the election was stolen?

Quinnipiac (monthly), Jan. 7-10, 1239 RV

Approve 33 (-11)
Disapprove 60 (+9)

Strongly approve 26 (-10)
Strongly disapprove 54 (+7)

This is almost the worst showing ever for Trump in this poll; he was at 33/61 in July 2017.

The net change of 20 points since last month is extraordinary.  I don't recall ever seeing a shift that large.

60% think Trump is undermining democracy; 34% think he is protecting it.

53% think Trump should resign; 43% don't.

52% think Trump should be removed; 45% don't.

45% think Trump is mentally stable; 48% don't.

Quinnipiac was the most horrific pollster of 2020.

They were off by 13 points in OH, by 10 in FL and by 7 US-wide.

Trump’s probably down to around 40% right now.

Trump approval rating is definately down in the mid to high 30s(like it was in 2017)now even if QPac isn't a good pollster.

Honestly wouldn't having a large crowd to support Biden be a good idea, could be the way to intimidate the Trumpers

This feels like a step too far, even for House Republicans. Pretty much openly calling for a coup. Chances she's expelled for this?

And what happens when Trump doesn't remain in office, what's she gonna do then? Pretend there is a shadow government with Trump in charge

Could be karma for anti maskers

 Suspect held after deportation from Kenya

An American linked to January's deadly riots at the US Capitol in Washington DC has been summoned to a court in New York after being deported from Kenya.

Isaac Sturgeon, 32, of Dillon, Montana, was arrested by the FBI on arrival at JFK airport over the weekend.

He is charged with seven counts including shoving a metal barricade into police officers. On Monday, he was released on a $250,000 (£181,000) bond.

A mob loyal to Donald Trump stormed the Congress building on 6 January.

The attack saw five people including a police officer killed, and shook the foundations of American democracy.

Mr Sturgeon was brought before New York's federal court on Monday.

He had been staying in Kenya since 24 January, and was planning to return to the US in April, according to court documents.

According to the New York Post, which saw the documents, Mr Sturgeon was deported from the country after an arrest warrant was issued by the FBI.

He flew to the East African nation after texting other people to ask whether he was wanted, the Washington Post quoted prosecutors as saying. The prosecutors also argued he posed a flight risk.

The newspaper said Mr Sturgeon had told the court: "I wasn't trying to flee", adding that he travelled frequently.

The prosecutors allege he was seen on an officer's body-worn camera taking part in the 6 January riots.

Abort! ABORT! ABORT! The secret  is out!

 it was just an antifa member using his George Soros check to fly to Kenya to stay with Obama at his birth play place

Arrests per capita by state so far

Today (March 20) was the date that some of the conspiracy theorists were talking about after nothing happened on March 4.  Nothing continues to happen.

Possibly related: there's a die-hard Trump supporter in my neighborhood who's had a Trump-Pence sign in their yard since at least the beginning of 2020.  They took it down today and replaced it with a "Pray for America" sign.

Did the date get changed again yet?

Make the date April 1st for the lolz.
