Yahoo News: ‘Hypocrisy Off The Charts’: Lindsey Graham Mocked For Tearful Herschel Walker Plea

In an appearance Thursday on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, [Senator Lindsey] Graham accused Walker’s critics of “trying to destroy” the candidate and his family.

In fact, member of Walker’s own family have criticized him. His 23-year-old son, Christian Walker, has instructed his dad on social media to “wear a condom”
and stop fathering out-of-wedlock children he doesn’t raise.

You’re not a “family man when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence,” Walker’s son posted.

The conservative “family man” tearfully backed by Graham has been accused by two former lovers of pushing for and even funding abortions, which he now supports making illegal. Walker has denied the accusations but said there would be “nothing to be ashamed of” if he had paid for an abortion.

Trump’s bad deal with the Taliban

“Now, twenty years later, after the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Afghans and a few thousands international military including the U.S., the U.S. and its NATO partners are exiting Afghanistan under a pitiful agreement brokered during the Trump administration by former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalizad, himself an Afghan who came to the U.S. as a teenager.  The deal with the Taliban sold out the government of Afghanistan and ended up with the release of 6,000 Taliban prisoners for an agreement that the Taliban would not fire on U.S. military during its departure from Afghanistan. No deal was struck for power-sharing or any other aspect that could have put the government of Afghanistan on a strong negotiating footing. After the U.S. undercut the Afghan government,  it is now left with no leverage in dealing with the Taliban and is facing the rapid takeover of the country as many of the 300,000 Afghan personnel trained by the U.S. and NATO militaries surrender to the Taliban or return to the warlord militias from which they came.

He accused the channel, particularly its prime-time opinion programming, of making a substantial and direct contribution to: COVID-19 deaths via vaccine and mask misinformation; societal divisions by stoking racial animus and spreading falsehoods about Black Lives Matter protests; former President Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” about the 2020 election; and the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol led by his supporters.

How many? Try 76% of self-identified Republicans in a new national Quinnipiac University poll. That’s the number of Republicans who said they believe there was “widespread fraud in the 2020 election.”

Mitch McConnell blames Trump for lies and incitement of violence

“There is no question “” none “” that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it,” McConnell said. “The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president. And having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.”

McConnell went through the defenses mounted by Trump’s attorneys, dismissing each. He expressed agreement with many of the House manager’s arguments.

McConnell also dismissed the Trump attorneys’ claim that impeachment was an attempt “to disenfranchise 74 million-plus American voters” who voted for Trump in the 2020 election.

“That’s an absurd deflection,” McConnell said. “Seventy-four million Americans did not invade the Capitol. Hundreds of rioters did. Seventy-four million Americans did not engineer the campaign of disinformation and rage. … One person did. Just one.”

New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump refused to call off the rioters

In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did.

“Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,” Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.

McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump’s supporters and begged Trump to call them off.
Trump’s comment set off what Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men. A furious McCarthy told the then-President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, “Who the f–k do you think you are talking to?” according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call.

GOP supporters’ lack of confidence in the election results has been fueled by Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers continuously pushing unfounded claims of voter fraud.

Judges across the U.S. have been throwing out swathes of legal suits filed by Trump’s team in a bid to overthrow the results, saying there is not sufficient evidence to indicate widespread election fraud. However, Trump supporters continue to peddle the claims, leading to an angry mob storming Capitol Hill on January 6.

The More We Learn About the Coup, the Worse it Gets “What Happened On Capitol Hill Looks Like an Organized Conspiracy to Violently Overthrow Democracy”

Let’s begin with the behaviour of the Trumpists who stormed the Capitol. One of the truly shocking details is that they shot up the Capitol. And then they smeared feces on the walls of the Capitol, while urinating on its floors. Who does that?

They were chanting death threats on their way to Capitol Hill. They were chanting death threats at Mike Pence, for refusing to overturn the election. They built a noose and gallows.

They left active pipe bombs at the Republican and Democratic national committees.

The coup wasn’t just made up of pot-bellied losers mad they could never get a date. It was made up, too, far more dangerously, of military professionals.Let’s begin with the behaviour of the Trumpists who stormed the Capitol.

From the National Review (conservative magazine): Trump’s Final Insult

The Trump administration is a thoroughgoing failure on the president’s own terms: The administration has managed to reorder worldwide trade relations “” by witlessly facilitating the creation of a new trade pact between China and the European Union, an alliance of the world’s second- and third-largest economies at the expense of the one that remains, for now, the largest. China is in a stronger geopolitical position today than it was in 2016, and the United States is diminished. Trump focused on the trade deficit, which is the wrong policy, but he can’t even get that right: Our trade deficits are larger than ever. On immigration, there is no big, beautiful wall paid for by Mexico, nor has there been any broad reform of U.S. immigration law. The president spent the critical early days of the coronavirus epidemic trying to tweet the virus into submission because he feared a declining stock market would hurt his reelection chances. He has uttered more lies himself than can be counted, and he sent his minions out to tell countless more. He has dishonored, disfigured, and debased everything he has touched. It has been a shameful spectacle.

The aide, Brian Harrison, had joined the department after running a dog-breeding business for six years. Five sources say some officials in the White House derisively called him “the dog breeder.”


I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I have studied it better than anybody else. Its very expensive. They are made in China and Germany mostly. Very few made here, almost none, but they are manufactured, tremendous if you are into this tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world right?

So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether its in China, Germany, its going into the air. Its our air their air everything right?

A windmill will kill many bald eagles. After a certain number they make you turn the windmill off. That is true. By the way they make you turn it off. And yet, if you killed one they put you in jail. That is OK.

You want to see a bird graveyard? You just go. Take a look. A bird graveyard. Go under a windmill someday, youll see more birds than youve ever seen in your life.

~ Donald Trump 12/21/2019

Corruption in the Interior Department “The extractive industries have a history of deliberately concealing the value of oil and gas extracted from public lands, with the apparent intent of underpaying royalties to the federal government. In addition, these industries have benefited for far too long from the federal government’s continued failure to collect billions of dollars in owed revenue from natural resource leases. Numerous high-level officials at the Interior Department have conflicts of interest, from recent employment in or lobbying for the industry they now regulate, to continued contact with former clients on policy matters they should recuse themselves from working on. At the top of the list is Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, who has an “unprecedented” level of connectedness to the industry.”

He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus

Throughout January, as Mr. Trump repeatedly played down the seriousness of the virus and focused on other issues, an array of figures inside his government “” from top White House advisers to experts deep in the cabinet departments and intelligence agencies “” identified the threat, sounded alarms and made clear the need for aggressive action.

The president, though, was slow to absorb the scale of the risk and to act accordingly, focusing instead on controlling the message, protecting gains in the economy and batting away warnings from senior officials. It was a problem, he said, that had come out of nowhere and could not have been foreseen.

“˜Freedom payments?’ The coronavirus exposes the fraud of the anti-government movement. “The stated premise of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was to goose the economy, which it didn’t do (annual growth was exactly the same in the two years prior to passage as in the two years after “” 2.4%). So it didn’t make America stronger. What it did was weaken the federal government, by looting the treasury to feather the nests mostly of corporations and the already rich. This withering of the government has always been part of the point. But where are the adherents of this now “” now that we’re in trouble? They’re clamoring for their own freedom payments.” To bailout corporations and Wall Street.

Why Trump Intentionally Misnames the Coronavirus “When conservative figures continually refer to the “Wuhan virus” or “Chinese coronavirus,” it’s clear they’re doing it to make a point.”

Trump officials did sound the coronavirus alarm. They just don’t work there anymore. “The dire message coming from former administration officials often stood in contrast to the upbeat narrative emanating from the White House.”

The Dismantled State Takes on a Pandemic “Conservatives won their war on Big Government. Their prize is a pandemic.”
