If Bad Bunny was serious about uniting Americans, he would have given his Grammy to Donald Trump.

JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

looking back at now once again trump loyalists statements on jan 6 is crazy because it really illustrates how they’ve managed to sanitize what everyone knew was going on. the jan 6ers were ultimately successful it seems

What Rs said at the time

Pence: "a dark day"
Rubio: "3rd world style anti-American anarchy"
Cruz: "violence...is ALWAYS wrong"
Graham: Trump's "actions were the problem"
Stefanik: "a truly tragic day"
McCarthy: "undemocratic, un-American and criminal"
McConnell: "a disgrace"

And now we are lied to

Violence is always unacceptable. Even when passions run high.

Anyone engaged in violenceβ€”especially against law enforcementβ€”should be fully prosecuted. 

God bless the Capitol Police and the honorable men & women of law enforcement who show great courage keeping all of us safe.

Graham said, β€œCount me out. Enough is enough.”

Graham called Biden the β€œlegitimate president of the United States,” and told colleagues definitively that β€œit is over” and the Biden-Harris administration would begin on January 20th.

Earlier Wednesday, supporters of Trump breached the U.S. Capitol, forcing a lockdown of the lawmakers and staff inside. Trump has claimed widespread voter fraud to explain away his defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, though election officials have said there wasn’t any.

Graham said that β€œif you’re a conservative,” the idea that Vice President Mike Pence could reverse the results of the election, as President Donald Trump had urged him to do, was β€œthe most offensive concept in the world.”

β€œThere’s no question β€” none β€” that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” McConnell said. β€œThe leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.
