Election 2020: Too Much!

Way too much! OK, let's get down to it, starting the the Jan. 6 "truff" commission. At Am Think, Andrea Widburg thinks (no, not yet) America had its first show trial on Tuesday and it was loathsome. Tick Moran at PJ Media reports Democrats' Jan. 6 Soviet-Style Show Trial Begins.   Breitbart believes Joe Biden’s CDC Mask Announcement Overshadows Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Commission Launch. Lucian K. Trusscott IV (that family has mean naming streak going) gives the Democrats game away with Democrats have a massive opportunity with Capitol riot committee: Shove it down the GOP's throat. 'Bonchie' at Red State details how Lies Pile up on Day One of the January 6th Hearings. A Fox, National Police Association slams Jan. 6 probe as ‘dog and pony show,' calls for investigation of Floyd riots. Mary Chastain at LI says "Give me a break" regarding Kinzinger, Schiff Fake Crying During January 6th Hearing. From Breitbart, Hollywood Celebrities Fawn over Adam Kinzinger, Rage at GOP During Pelosi’s January 6 Commission Hearing The Victory Girls reports  Liz Cheney saying January 6 Will Happen Every Four Years. Unless you legislate the calendar, it will happen every year.Tristan Justice at Da Fed, Liz Cheney Leading Pelosi’s Weaponized Jan. 6 Committee Tells All You Need To Know About The Partisan Probe. I didn't even need to know that. On the Da Hill, Cheney faces political storm in Wyoming, and it couldn't happen to a better person. 

 Nicholas Ballasy at JTN reports that McCarthy says GOP will 'do our own hearings' as alternative to Pelosi's Jan. 6 select committee and CNN whines that House Republicans pull out of another key select committee in a sign of 1/6 panel fallout "select committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth." Sounds like BS anyway. 

Via Wombat's In The Mailbox: 07.28.21 the Shark Tank has Sabatini Blasts “Shameless” Murphy And 1/6 Committee. Matt Walsh, AOC says that she thought she was going to be raped on January 6. . . She was not in the Capitol building. She never encountered any rioters. . . Utterly shameless. Also from the Victory Girls,  Swalwell Attempts to Work Up a Media Frenzy, No One Falls for It . At Da Caller, ‘They Tortured Me’: Officer Michael Fanone Calls Jan. 6 Rioters ‘Terrorists’, and (also via the Wombat), Geller recalls that the Officer Who Testified that Trump Supporters on Jan. 6 Were Chanting the “N-Word” Is HUGE BLM Activist — Supported Mass Violence in Kenosha Riots. I guess you get to pick and choose whose violence you support. 

Matt Vespa at Town  remembers When Left-Wingers Bombed the Capitol Building In 1983...Yes, This Happened. And Clinton pardoned the bombers. CNS News,  Rep. Jordan: 'Democrats Normalized Anarchy, Normalized Political Violence'. And more insurrection from Da Caller, Jesse Jackson, 38 Others Arrested For Refusing To Leave Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s Office. I'll bet their charges have already been dropped. And ‘Equal Application Of The Law Is Dead’: Tucker Carlson Criticizes Disparity On How BLM And Capitol Rioters Were Treated.  At PJ Media Downey has another, Daily Dose of Downey: 5 Examples of Hypocrisy That Make It Impossible to Take Liberals Seriously. Among them "Jan. 6 vs. May 25, 2020-?"

By the left’s own standards, January 6 wasn’t mostly peaceful–it was almost completely peaceful. If, say, 300,000 people showed up to hear Trump speak, and 600 got violent, that’s 0.2% of the crowd (600 is a HUGE overstatement, as many of those arrested weren’t violent). When 1000 “protestors” showed up to demand justice for Saintly George Floyd, and 200 were violent members of BLM and their non-binary Ken doll sis-bros, that’s 20% of the crowd. That 20% proceeded to burn Portland for over 100 nights, sack Washington D.C. for a solid month, trash Chicago, and reduce Minneapolis to a burning rubble. Don’t forget Seattle, Atlanta, and everywhere else. Portions of cities were taken over. Black kids were shot and killed, and the lefty Pravda media introduced the most hypocritical phrase of the century: “mostly peaceful.” Biden referred to Antifa as “an idea,” and Jerry Nadler, in a spectacular display of deception, called them “a myth.” The grandparents being arrested for strolling the Capitol are labeled “insurrectionists,” while those Floyd-loving libs who attacked police and burned buildings, cars, and businesses were mostly ignored, if not rewarded. Antifa has made it clear that they want revenge. The January 6 protestors simply wanted to be heard.

At  Da Wire, Poll: More Americans Want ‘Black Lives Matter Riots’ Investigated Than January 6 Riot. Kevin Downey at PJ Media, Republicans Demand Answers About January 6 Detainees. Commies Heckle. TNP, WATCH as Crazed, Far-Left Activists Attack (GOP) Members Of Congress In Washington, D.C.  "They were not assisted by D.C., nor Capitol police, leaving just their staff and interns to provide protection against crazed leftists."

Atop Da Hill the GOP is up in arms over Cheney, Kinzinger. Nick Arama at Red State says Stefanik Levels Liz Cheney With a New Nickname That Perfectly Fits "Stefanik calls Cheney a “Pelosi pawn” Pretty good, but not outstanding, I affirm alliteration. At HE, Dissident Leader of Women for America First Issues Strong Statement re January 6th Commission “We demand that Leader McCarthy immediately strip Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger of their committee assignments and that he convenes his own commission to seek real answers about what happened on January 6th."

Breitbart, Arrest Warrant Issued for Texas Democrat Who Fled to D.C. Only one? "Speaker Phelan issued a statement saying, in part, that Cortez had “irrevocably broken my trust and the trust of the chamber.” The speaker added that Cortez “represented to me and his fellow members that he wanted to work on policy and find solutions to bring his colleagues back to Texas.”"

Also via Wombat's In The Mailbox: 07.28.21, Today’s blacklisted American (s)  at Behind the Black, Twitter bans all election audit accounts in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin

Twitter is no longer even pretending that it is banning these accounts because of some vague “community standard” that each violated. No, Twitter banned them simply because it is possible that the election audits going on in these states might actually uncover evidence of election fraud, and to allow honest and real news reporting can no longer be allowed, if that reporting might threaten the dominate leftist agenda and the Democratic Party politicians who are imposing it.

Jordan Davidson at Da Fed reports the United Nations Greenlights Big Tech Mega-Database To Censor Americans Deemed ‘Extremists’, and you know who they mean, and it isn't Antifa. Josh Hammer at CJ, How to Interpret Section 230? "The legal debate over tech firms’ right to censor has broader implications." Charles Glasser at Insty, ABOUT SECTION 230: 

In an Instapundit item below, John Tierney links to a City Journal article that frames up “Big Tech Censorship” as the the most “controversial” problem with Section 230, which provides immunity to “internet service providers” for content ostensibly created by third parties.

While I agree that the censorship problem has to be solved by either a judicial ruling that declares the web a “public space” or a re-write of the statute, I think the real problem is that the more common problem is an overly broad statute that allows virtual newsrooms to defame with impunity. The statute was passed in part to protect companies like AOL and CompuServe for content they didn’t create, particularly, kiddie porn.

I'm pretty simple, they can either censor, or the can have protection, not both.

TNP report how the China-Backed Harvard Center Fellow Luke O’Brien Engages In Targeted Harassment Against The National Pulse. China all in on Biden.  At Fox, NYT reporter deletes tweets urging Trump supporters to be called 'enemies of the state' amid backlash "Katie Benner claims her original tweets were 'unclearly worded'" At this point I have no problem calling the NYT enemies of the country (not the "state", which supports them).

Capt. Ed at Hot Hair hears I really do not like this harassment of Tucker Carlson, says ... Don Lemon? A belated realization that harassment can be a 2-way street. 

 Althouse catches the NYT saying something slightly sensible, "General Milley had no direct evidence of a coup plot. But in the days after Mr. Trump’s electoral defeat, as the president filled top military and intelligence posts..."

"... with people the general considered loyal mediocrities, General Milley got nervous. 'They may try,' but they would not succeed with any kind of plot, he told his aides, according to the book. 'You can’t do this without the military,' he went on. 'You can’t do this without the C.I.A. and the F.B.I. We’re the guys with the guns.' While some might greet such comments with relief, General Milley’s musings should give us pause. Americans have not usually looked to the military for help in regulating their civilian politics. And there is something grandiose about General Milley’s conception of his place in government. He told aides that a 'retired military buddy' had called him on election night to say, 'You represent the stability of this republic.' If there was not a coup underway, then General Milley’s comments may be cause more for worry than for relief. Were we really that close to a coup?... It was, instead, mayhem on behalf of what had started as a legitimate political position....

Speaking of loyal mediocrities, Twitchy catches a general losing a twitter war with a grad student. ‘Someone got a phone call’: Army general protects his account after losing Twitter battle to Hillsdale student

U.S. Army Major General Patrick Donahoe became a celebrity Tuesday night after Fox News’ Tucker Carlson did a piece on him picking fights on Twitter over the COVID vaccine. “Hillsdale, come get your boy” he tweeted in response to a Ph.D. student there.
