Presumably, those who believe (rightly) that the Russia Hoax was a hoax could be banned from service:
Some will say this proves that Donald Trump should have mobilised the Army himself last year to put down a terrorist insurrection incited by the Democrat Party. Dozens were killed, courthouses were violently attacked and entire cities trashed as part of an orchestrated campaign to destroy civic order and blame the President. Instead, he took a moderate, more optimistic path. I still think he made the right decision and certainly saved many lives. Unfortunately, there are no guaranteed rewards for making the right call as President. Quite the opposite, more often than not.
UPDATE: This from the woman whose rejection of democracy in 2016 and treasonous collusion with Russia unleashed an unprecedented four years of political hatemongering and crime. The United States will always be in the debt of Donald Trump for destroying the Clinton machine beyond recovery.
Here's how elected Republicans and conservative media can begin the healing and unifying process:
Accurately state that Joe Biden was duly elected president in a free and fair election.
Urge Trump supporters to refrain from further violence.
For a start.

Newsflash:…..
Biden not President yet. Cannot order troops to do anything.
Your ignorance is showing.
Confederate Army in command?
To be fair, the Irish Times piece simply reports on bedwetting former Ranger Jason Crow, who had flashbacks to Afghanistan as, armed only with a pen, he cowered in hiding at the Capitol.
Perhaps a little off topic but bear with me-
What has bemused me for decades is the ease with which those of the Left can have such obvious contradictions yet never question them.
I gather certain words trigger review on the Cats site, and that’s fine, so I won’t mention certain names, but you’ll know who I mean
If we were confronted by someone wearing a swastika t shirt, or a portrait of Germany’s leader in the middle of the last century, for eg, we would be horrified, and rightly so. Yet over the years (and still), I regularly see shirts with Mao, Trotsky, or Che Guevara. All just as murderous and inhumane as their counterparts from Germany and the USSR.
But if you ask someone why they aren’t as offended by these displays of idolatry, you get blank looks and get told
“It’s different”
“Why is it different?”
I’ve never heard a satisfactory answer yet!
There’s another angle to this.
Think Changi prison, the Burma railway, the Sandakan death march, etc etc.
The Imperial Japanese army were no better than savages in their treatment of our POWs.
But within a relatively short time, we had moved on.
Hence the next contradiction.
We are to forgive and progress over terrible things committed well under a century ago, but us white fellas are supposed to forever carry the guilt of injustices perpetuated on our native peoples.
Same questions, same answers!
Ask someone if we should forgive the Japs yet forever whip ourselves over things we haven’t personally done-
“Yes, of course”
“Why?”
“Er…”
And of course this enmeshes with the whole BLM thing etc.
I’ve said elsewhere I know people who live in Wisconsin, and they describe entire blocks laid waste. (And they’re fairly left wing!) But of course…”it’s different”
1984 sure was brilliant. How language can be a formidable weapon
Does anyone remember Robert G Barrett? He wrote a pile of scurrilous novels about a bouncer called Les Norton. If my memory is right- it went something like this-
one year in the 80s I think he was Australia’s top selling author. So the Aust literary council was forced to invite him to their let’s-all-suck-up-to-each-other-at-taxpayer’s-expense awards night. Suit and tie affair. So Bob- who was once a butcher, wore a suit, but also his smelly old bloodstained sand shoes to annoy the stuck up literati.
Got pissed and made a speech saying “I don’t need government grants to white a pile of shit that no one reads like you lot” etc etc
Perhaps, like the Australian skeptics society, we should award some “greatest pinko hypocrites doublespeak” prizes. There’d be a cast of thousands
No, yours is showing.
His transitional team is running the inauguration.
Or do you believe Donald Trump has ordered Republicans to be screened out of the National Guard?
The fascist demorats were expecting Trump to call in the army, that would be final proof of his dictatorial leanings.
But instead we saw demorat mayors and governors let their fascist brown shirts burn. Loot, kill and maim, while the lying left wing msm continued to blame Trump.
Its difficult to imagine in these times just how easily bamboozled the population can become.
But we all understand from the left its no longer facts, its only their truth that the fascists want everyone to believe.
It’s Orwellian, and no one can believe just how fast obamas #resistance and insurrection worked.
Gen. Robert Abrams is using his freedom of speech to tweet that the riotous events (and possibly lump in the protest as well) as attempted insurrection.
Narrative advocacy at its finest. Someone is bucking for promotion.
Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday offered advice on how Republicans and the conservative media, specifically, can “begin the healing and unifying process,” demanding that they state that Joe Biden “was duly elected president in a free and fair election.”
Another foul old woman. Quite the soviet commissar.
“It’s different”
“Why is it different?”
I’ve never heard a satisfactory answer yet!
Because, in the effort to create the socialist paradise on earth, human beings are expendable.
The argument between Communists and Nazis was over doctrine, not means or the goal.
The issue with the summer riots was that POTUS can’t call out the National Guard with out the agreement of the State Governor, and that was not forthcoming in the case of the Dummicrat states.
In this case he egged Bowser and Pelosi to request it, (although in the case of DC that’s not necessary), and when the Insurrection Act is invoked, the troops fall directly under the command of the Commander in Chief.
The corrupt, decrepit, geriatric and evil US political establishment is summed up Nadler pooing his pants in public. Disgusting and symbolic.
The US Congress almost makes our APH seem well…a bit less repulsive and venal. Many of these old parasites have been in DC for decades. They seem to have no love or feeling for the US whatsoever. Obviously addicted to salaries and kickbacks so much so that they will stay there even when they should be in nursing homes. And people keep voting them in.

Gen. Robert Abrams
Related to Creighton Abram’s, of WW II to Vietnam fame?
Was this the first unarmed insurrection in history (with the possible exception of any Antifa ring-ins)? The only shot fired was by the Capitol Police, at an unarmed woman.
Good luck fielding a military force of any size if you’re limiting the recruitment to Democrat voters. On the other hand, Arlington is full of them.
One always needs a Wehrmacht to go with one’s
SSoops Antifa.Biden is not yet President. Come back next week.
How fucked-up is the world? Biden hasn’t spent so much as a day in power and Trump voters are already being measured up for denial of rights for be “domestic terrorist”!
A purge of the armed forces. How very totalitarian.
My recollection is that most recruits come from “Red” regions. Creepy Joe might end up with a small Praetorian Guard, if he is lucky.
Should I assume that Antifa and BLM will fill all the sudden vacancies?

As in the Pentagon’s Staff contingent, the poor sods too slow to get out of coffee-wallah duty and a few other high HQs packed full of pogues who can pass their fitness assessments and that is about it?
Curiously appropriate…🤔
Patriotism can be Blue too. Look to Tulsi, and those in the services who might vote democrat, but not D- or Squad-Democrat. They’ll be looking for sanctuary to, soon enough…

Fair enough, but the rampant neopaganism on display here doesn’t stop the woke left from denouncing Christianity as racist, genocidal etc etc.
Who was it that said ‘consistency is a virtue for small minds’?
Totally measured response by people who feel very secure in their positions.

Llama,
While I appreciate your momentary lapse into sanity, you are clearly an imposter. Let him go and let him be ridiculed like he wants to be.
I’m more interested in what the Dems are going to do.
Biden was just running his mouth about a $15/hr minimum wage across the entire country. Can’t wait to see how many jobs that destroys. Though it will be interesting to see what happens to some of the big guys like Amazon and Cost co.
Old Lefty – I looked up Mr Angeli. One comment suggested that he’s what happens when you cancel Burning Man festivals for Covid. Sounds about right. Not many conservatives would complain about a lack of organic food whilst in jail, but he does seem to have an odd liking for Trump. Go figure. I would say he’s at the “left right out” position on the political spectrum. Pretty good Antifa useful idiot material, but not very representative of the other 99,999 people who were at the protest.
I was going to suggest that we call the cops because clearly Llama is being held against his will and tortured.
But I like this Llama better than the non-tortured one.
Put him in the iron maiden, boys.
Sometimes it is pointless to even respond…………these people are dangerous and they only get to say this sort of hypocritical nonsense because the press in the US do not hold them to account. We have a serious problem with democracy in the west….it always starts in the US and is works its way through the rest of the free world. If this stuff continues the free world will no longer exist in any meaningful way.
@ Amused-
You naughty person. I am so glad that I did not have a mouthful of tea just now…
The dried up bent sow doesn’t know when to sit down.
Don’t count your chickens CL. The Clinton and Biden political databases (ie dirt files) are probably similarly comprehensive. They’ve certainly been accumulated over similar lengths of time.
Interesting parallels between Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden.

Same as Mc Colesworths here & shoppies. Corrupt deal rubber stamped by Washington & media/politicians look the other way…

I don’t know whether Biden is just bullshitting to try and impress the public.
I was just reading something recently about Biden’s mate, Jeff Bezos having a very unhappy, ripped-off workforce at Amazon.
As if guys like that care about underpaid workers.
In any case, you don’t need to be Einstein to work out that if wages are increased dramatically, inevitably inflation and the cost of goods and services will skyrocket.
If the Dems are true to their promises it will cripple the economy and drive unemployment up.
I find the Clinton family so disturbing that I strongly suspect they are possessed by demons.
This is not hyperbole.
Aussie Dinesh has got his clown nose on, I see, honking his horn. Watching intellectual debasement for tribal and cultural politics is a little amusing for a short time, but quickly turns sad, and in the case of the US, dangerous.
If Right Wing terrorism occurs in the next year or so in the name of maintaining the rage against an imaginary fraud against the Russian elected President who was more interested in watching on TV insurrectionists threatening politicians’ lives than telling them to stop, your side will be owning it. Every drop of blood.
Going “honk honk: but Hilary!…” isn’t going to cut it.
What terrible and murky word soup. Part of the same stanza in the song “the left can’t meme, wall of text edition”

Would I be correct in thinking that inauguration duty is something most troops would be keen to avoid, and so would have an incentive to fail this scrutiny even if they did not “sympathise with domestic terrorists”?
No doubt.
Clinton, shorter:
* Say you surrender.
* Say It.
* SAY IT.
The narrative is being shaped before our eyes:
* Republicans are domestic terrorists – monitoring and crackdowns needed.
* Right leaning news sources are hate speech spreaders – goodbye Fox, Newsmax and ONN.
* it’s far too dangerous to vote in person now – online voting is formalised as essential.
And then there are the calls for replication kid’s reeducation, media ‘retraining’, and incarceration. 2022 midterms are a long way off yet.
Will they pull a special train carriage out of a museum in order to facilitate this surrender?

Unfortunately the only option the wicked have left the good people of America is to secure their freedom through violent uprising. It will take a while to get there, but it is dawning on the normies in the US that there is no institution left that will listen to the people, they know it’s all a charade.
The irony is, that as the left have destroyed all the institutions to desperately survive, it will actually be their downfall. But this time their downfall will literally kill them.

Gripe has jumped the shark, barefoot.
His first para was a good summary of the Demonrat/fascist left reaction to the 2016 election. His second para is a magnificent attempt to ignore the Left Wing terrorism of the last four years, maintaining the rage against ficticious Wussian involvement in the 2016 election, and not assigning blame to the fascist left for the bloodshed during that period.

US Joint Chiefs of Staff —
Looks like the rumored Dead End Canyon strategy is not going to be pulled off just before the inauguration. I was so looking forward to the strategic arrests of all the treasonous villains who illegally endorsed the unconstitutional elections, fully knowing that three critical state legislatures were seeking a review of the election fraud, and had made the requests in writing, because a switch in electors from Biden to Trump would change the result.
I am not going to waste my time engaging in debate with Aussie Dinesh and others here, as I share the view of Noah Smith that this if you can’t see a difference between civil unrest arising out of a real, ongoing problem (racial policing in America) and a sitting President promoting a conspiracy amongst his dimwitted cult following who openly talked about civil war if he lost the election, you’re just an idiot.
But the difference with the Trumpist insurrection
Gripe identifies the first unarmed insurrection in the history of the world. If only Spartacus (the slave, not the artist) had known of this tactic, Rome would have been finished.
I am not going to waste my time engaging in debate with Aussie Dinesh and others here,
And yet here you are. A good little Red Stooge. Anke-biting for Final Victory!
If you are the best the Fascist Left (CCP or Peoples’ DemoKKKratic USSA) can offer, then the only prospect you have of total domination is by Jackboot and Bayonet.
And there are far too many angry American patriots, and Patriots in other parts of the world for that to succeed…
“I am not going to waste my time engaging in debate with Aussie Dinesh and others here, “
Eff off then.
Just heard from a reliable source (others might have too) that President Trump had flipped California. That is 55 Electoral Votes. I had 431 WITHOUT California’s 55 in Catallaxy’s guessing game of how many Trump would receive. Has the guessing game been dumped or only on Pause. There will be an Inauguration. It will be President Trump’s. However, huge happenings beforehand.
Tendentious and question-begging.
Notice also how Noah Smith memory-holes ANTIFA’s rioting in Seattle and Portland and the rioting by anti-Trump forces during the inaugeration and after, Kavanaugh hearings, and so on.
Except that the protestors believed that the election was rigged which means they were fighting for democracy. I hope we can all agree that is a good thing.
Well actually I wouldn’t. Democracy is disgusting. It is a means to an end (civilisation) and has shown itself to be a poor means at that. If we are going to have democracy we need to ensure that only sensible people are allowed to vote. That means only people over 30, male, married, with kids (their own), own land and receive less from the government than they give. Allowing anybody to vote is an unmitigated catastrophe but in the US it appears as though it is even worse – the vote appears to be rigged in favour of the lunatics.
But the point remains. Both sets of people thought their protests were righteous. The difference was that the Capitol protestors were there for a few hours as opposed to several months and did far less damage.
As for your next bit where you somehow decide that hundreds of thousands of people looting stuff somehow doesn’t count for anything because “the Republic” is completely deranged. Since when did you even care the Republic? The US is not a Republic it is a democracy – a rigged one.
And conservative pundits say “Those leftards, claiming we want to turn the country into the Handmaid’s Tale. They’re being ridiculous.” Huh.
Handmaid’s Tale.
OK Zoomer…
The US Democrats – who now have complete power – are what you would get if the Khmer Rouge believed men could have babies.
I’ve never seen your stupid show but I’m quite sure that civilisation can survive the “patriarchy” a trillion times longer than it can survive the current crop of US Democrats.

Probably a reference to the hoped for 1,000 year Trump Reich. So sorry it only made it, limping, to 4.

Listen mate, do you really believe that the Democrats will fix America’s problems? Do you really think that by calling 75 million Americans “white supremacists” and targeting them they’ll end up with a better country than before?
