Lordy, Lordy, Comey indicted for alleged threats against Trump

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for a second time by the Justice Department. The charges stem from that unforgettable May 2025 Instagram masterpiece: a photo of seashells arranged in "86 47" formation on a beach, evidently during one of Comey's famous nature walks.

Comey is charged with "knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of, or inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States and knowingly and willfully transmitting a communication in interstate and foreign commerce that contained a threat to kill President Donald Trump," according to the indictment.

Both charges, released Tuesday by the DOJ, carry up to 10 years in prison. This follows a predictable wave of Republican criticism and Trump administration officials pointing out that a former FBI boss posting what sure looked like a coded hit on the president might be, you know, a problem.

"I think it's fair to say that threatening the life of anybody is dangerous and potentially a crime threatening the life of the president of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice," Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche told reporters during a news conference without going into specifics of the case.

"While this case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant, his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we will never tolerate and that we will always investigate and regularly prosecute," he added.

In the slang often used in the service industry, to "86" something means to eject, cancel or get rid of it, kind of the similar expression: to 'deep 6' something.  And Trump is the 47th president. A reasonable person familiar with the circumstances would interpret this image as a "serious expression of an intent to do harm" to the president, per the charges.

The indictment also includes a Forfeiture Notice. If convicted, Comey must forfeit any property or proceeds derived from his alleged unlawful activities to the government.

A grand jury issued an arrest warrant for Comey. Blanche said he expects communication with Comey's legal counsel.

U.S. District Judge Louise Wood Flanagan, a George W. Bush appointee, has been assigned to the case.

"Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago," Comey said in the 39-second clip. "But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I am still not afraid and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go."

Comey added that it was "really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country."

"This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be. And the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values," he added.

In a statement to Fox News, Comey's lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald, said, "Mr. Comey vigorously denies the charges contained in the Indictment filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina. We will contest these charges in the courtroom and look forward to vindicating Mr. Comey and the First Amendment."

Comey removed the social media post of the shells the same day it was uploaded, claiming he had misinterpreted the shells as a general political message.

"I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message," Comey wrote in a subsequent post. "I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down."

Following the post, Comey was questioned by the U.S. Secret Service in Washington D.C. At the time, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the former FBI chief should be "put behind bars" for allegedly "issuing a call to assassinate" Trump.

In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Trump rejected this explanation.

"He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant," Trump said. "If you're the FBI director, and you don't know what that meant, that meant ‘assassination,’ and it says it loud and clear."

House Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin criticized the move by the DOJ, while recalling Trump's own remarks about Democratic lawmakers who urged military service members to disobey unlawful orders and his statement about former Rep. Liz Cheney.

"Trump's DOJ just criminally indicted James Comey for a beach photo of seashells and no other evidence cited," he said. "If that’s a crime in America, then what is calling the free speech of six Democratic Members of Congress ‘seditious behavior, punishable by DEATH’? What is suggesting a former Republican Member of Congress should have to ‘face nine barrels shooting at her’ with ‘the guns trained on her face’?"

This second indictment against Comey comes just hours after a federal judge in New York allowed a separate lawsuit brought by his daughter, Maurene Comey, to move forward against the DOJ.

Maurene Comey, a former federal prosecutor, is suing the DOJ over what she describes as an unlawful dismissal. Her lawsuit alleges she was terminated "solely or substantially because her father is former FBI Director James B. Comey, or because of her perceived political affiliation and beliefs, or both."

Comey was fired by Trump in 2017 during his first term over the handling of the Russia investigation. Since then, Comey has been a vocal critic of the president.

In September 2025, Comey was charged with lying to Congress regarding press leaks. However, a federal judge dismissed that case after ruling that the prosecutor involved had been improperly appointed. Comey’s legal team has declined to comment on this latest indictment.Earlier this month, Blanche said Trump has a "right" and a "duty" to influence federal investigations, including those involving his political enemies who probed him in the past.

"We have thousands of ongoing investigations and prosecutions going on in this country right now. It is true that some of them involve men, women and entities that the president in the past has had issues with and believes should be investigated," Blanche said at a press conference.He previously dismissed the notion that the DOJ has improperly been going after Trump opponents.

On April 14, the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group published a report accusing the Biden administration of weaponizing federal law.

Poor Jim. The seashells were just innocent little shells, you guys. Nothing to see here except a guy who ran the FBI deciding to play amateur assassination semaphore on Instagram. The left is already melting down, because of course they are. This is going to be fun.

Liz Cheney gets her butt handed to her by Elon over USAID

This week, DOGE, led by Elon Musk, turned its attention to USAID, stirring up significant controversy among Democrats by uncovering what they claim to be inefficiencies and misconduct. The Democratic reaction has been intense enough that even former Rep. Tim Ryan (R-OH) criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's handling of the situation. A panel from the Comedy News Network (CNN) couldn't help but laugh at what they perceived as an ineffective Democratic protest.

In the midst of this political storm, Mike Benz, Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online and a former State Department official, linked USAID to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), noting her past employment with the agency. Musk found this connection "interesting."

Cheney responded to Musk's interest with a tweet that many found off-topic:

Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy. Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren’t yet an American citizen.

 
Her response, which seemed unrelated to the current discussion about USAID, was mocked for its irrelevance and for incorrectly tagging Musk's account name. Social media users on X had a field day with her error:

There was also mention of a pardon Cheney reportedly received from Joe Biden, though she did not address these comments. Her remarks about Musk's citizenship and his familiarity with American history drew further criticism, with some viewing it as an attack on immigrants.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) expressed his disapproval of Cheney's comments by posting:

“I was a citizen before you were”
Not cool

If there is one thing Republicans and conservatives in general can agree on is that Liz Cheney is as cool as the sun.

Michael Cohen begs Biden for pardon: "I'm somebody's son too"

Former Trump shyster lawyer Michael Cohen is asking President Biden to pardon him, just like he pardoned his son Hunter, before Trump takes office.

Cohen talked about his attempts to get a pardon from the Biden administration on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on Saturday morning. He said that not receiving a pardon would leave him "in danger" of being prosecuted by Trump and becoming someone's 'prison b***h." 

Cohen argued that Biden should protect him and other Trump critics, similar to how he lied and protected his crackhead son Hunter.

"Yeah, I put in the application for a presidential pardon because I believe that Joe Biden has the same responsibility to me that he had to his own son," Cohen whined. "And I would expect that the same exact pardon that he gave his son has to go to me and to anybody else that’s on that enemies list, whether they want it or not, because I assure you, solitary confinement, where I did 51 days, sucks."

MSNBC host Symone Sanders and former national press secretary for comrade Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign that was handed to Hillary Clinton by the DNC,  agreed with Cohen about the risks of being on Trump’s "enemies list," but she didn't think comparing his situation to Hunter Biden's was kosher. [Symone is not related to Bernie.]

"I mean, Hunter Biden is the president’s last surviving son," Sanders said.

"I’m somebody’s son also, by the way," Cohen responded.

"Agreed. You are somebody’s son," Sanders said. "But I mean, to be very clear, you’re not the president’s son. And he pardoned Hunter primarily because that is his son, I think."

Cohen stressed how seriously Trump should be taken as a threat, especially after Cohen stabbed him in the back [figuratively] tried to screw him.

"You have to take Donald Trump for his word when he turns around," Cohen fretted. "So far, everything that he said that he intends to do, he actually intends to do. And he has been doing it one by one by one. Now, it may not all happen on day one, as he said, but ultimately he’ll have four years plus with a whole group of individuals that are now going to be filling government positions in order to help him effectuate his goals."

Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for crimes like tax evasion, campaign finance violations, and lying to Congress while working for Trump. Since then, he's been outspoken against Trump and testified in Alvin Bragg's New York criminal case against him earlier this year as a convicted felon.

Cohen also mentioned in September that he was planning to leave the country if Trump won again.

"I'm already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name. I don't know how it's going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don't want them moving to where I'm looking to go," Cohen said, possibly hoping they do not follow him and thus meet other women.

Biden faced criticism from both political sides for pardoning Hunter in December, even though he had said he wouldn't. As his term was ending, Biden also mentioned he was [LOL, it's actually his handlers, not Joe, who is one step below broccoli] considering pardons for some of Trump's political adversaries, like former RINO Liz Cheney and alleged Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Woah Nelly! FBI to investigate Liz Cheney

The House Oversight Subcommittee, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), has issued a 127-page Interim Report that outlines various questionable activities connected to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the investigation that followed by the Democratic Select Committee, which was supposedly set up to uncover the truth about the events of that day but turned out to be a witch hunt.

Of special note are the report's findings regarding the actions of former Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY). She was a member of the Committee and allegedly leveraged her role to criticize President-elect Donald Trump. According to the report, she exerted excessive control over the Committee's activities to focus on the president-elect, pushing the idea that he was responsible for inciting the violence on January 6, which was proved to be a lie as anyone who listened to what Trump said that day to his followers knows.

The report wraps up by suggesting that the FBI should investigate Cheney's conduct, which men of good faith all feel she should go to federal prison for a long time.

The Oversight Subcommittee points to Cheney's public comments as proof that her primary concern during her time on the Select Committee was Trump, rather than addressing the broader security lapses that took place on January 6.

"Representative Cheney mentions President Trump eighteen separate times in her four-page Forward to the Select Committee’s Final Report—including her statements that 'no man' who behaved as President Trump 'can ever serve in any position of authority in our nation again,'" the report pointed out.

The authors noted that Cheney didn't "mention any of the tangible failures of that day" and "spoke of law enforcement only twice, and never mentioned the National Guard or the multi-agency intelligence failures."

One staff member told investigators that when the J6 Committee "became a Cheney 2024 campaign, many of us became discouraged."

"Representative Cheney’s influence on the Select Committee’s work and the conclusions it drew cannot be overstated. Before the Select Committee published its final report, fifteen current and former staffers approached the Washington Post to express deep frustration with Representative Cheney’s heavy-handed oversight of the Select Committee’s work. The article states that 'committee staff members were floored' when told that the final report 'would focus almost entirely on Trump.'"

The Subcommittee also addressed Cheney’s supposed attempt to influence former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the Select Committee. The report claims that Cheney "communicated directly with Cassidy Hutchinson without her attorney’s knowledge, despite Cheney knowing it was unethical."

The report notes that Hutchinson acknowledged receiving "contact information for multiple attorneys at various firms" from the former lawmaker.

"It is unusual—and potentially unethical—for a Member of Congress conducting an investigation to contact a witness if the Member knows that the individual is represented by legal counsel. Representative Cheney is an attorney, and an attorney who circumvents an individual’s legal representation would violate well-established attorney ethics standards."

The Subcommittee also found evidence of frequent communications between Hutchinson and Cheney without her lawyer’s knowledge. It alleged that Cheney helped Hutchinson find new legal representation and compromised her testimony. However, the former lawmaker, in her book, made it appear as if she "passively waited for Hutchinson to fire her attorney and find new counsel on her own," according to the report.

Cheney allegedly played an instrumental role in shaping Hutchinson’s testimony. "Her first two interviews, though consistent with one another, were significantly different than the narrative she told in her four subsequent interviews and live testimony," the report stated, also stating that the former lawmaker’s "decision to rush Hutchinson’s testimony caused 'unforced errors' and did not afford staff the 'opportunity to thoroughly vet the line of questioning.'"

"Hutchinson testified to a series of specific, outrageous claims about President Trump on January 6, 2021. Nearly all her allegations involve incidents to which she was not an eyewitness, and the parties she credited for relaying those alleged events to her categorically denied her claims."

In one instance, Hutchinson made the outlandish claim that Trump had tried to lunge past Secret Service agents and grab the steering wheel as he was being transported from the Capitol building in a limousine.

The Oversight subcommittee suggested that "numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney". It recommended that "these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation" because the former lawmaker "tampered with at least one witness."

The report argues that the FBI should investigate Cheney for violating laws against "procuring another person to commit perjury."

Of course, it is doubtful that Cheney will face any kind of accountability for her alleged actions. But the report clearly demonstrates what many already knew: Cheney saw the Select Committee as an opportunity to boost her popularity by positioning herself as the ultimate anti-Trump figure.

Cheney made the mistake of basing her entire political platform on going after the president-elect, an issue that contributed to her ignominious defeat in the 2022 midterm primaries.

If Trump testifies on taped Jan. 6 committee hearing, he's making a huge mistake

The Jan. 6 committee refuses to allow former President Trump to testify on live tv after he received their extraordinary subpoena by the House committee investigating the Capitol Hill incident. They will not permit him to speak freely in real time about the role he is being accused of playing by alleged congressional investigators regarding the 2020 election.

The committee might as well be run in Australia where there are actual kangaroos that can be called upon to assert their claims against Trump, because without them allowing for a defense, this has become nothing more than a kangaroo court-like proceeding. 

The mere fact that they will not permit a live response from Trump, who is being accused of wrongdoing, suggests that they will only air video that supports their claim by taking it out of context. At least any free-thinking individual would consider it as such.

Leading the kangaroo court's charge is a RINO; her name is Liz Cheney and is the kangaroo court's vice chair. It was she who rejected the possibility of a live broadcast of Trump's testimony. For his part, the former President said that he might consider complying with the subpoena if he could answer questions in live testimony. 

Cheney (RINO-WY) spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press" saying, “We are going to proceed in terms of the questioning of the former president under oath. It may take multiple days, and it will be done with a level of rigor and discipline and seriousness that it deserves. We are not going to allow — he’s not going to turn this into a circus.”

They already have but few people are watching the performances of the clowns.

“We have many, many alternatives that we will consider if the former president decides he is not going to comply with his legal obligation, a legal obligation every American citizen has to comply with a subpoena,” Cheney said.

Nobody knows what Trump is going to do. He could go along with the subpoena or try to negotiate with the so-called committee. He can also defy it, like Eric Holder did, or ignore it and even try to stop it in court.

Joe Biden called Liz Cheney the night she got creamed in the primary

After Liz Cheney got politically annihilated in the Wyoming GOP primary, so-called President Joe Biden called her on the blower to console her and ask if there was anything he could do for her. . . anything at all.

Cheney, whose political ideology has recently deteriorated into "Orange Man must die," lost to Harriet Hageman by a whopping 37 points, the biggest lost by an incumbent in a century, and the Babylon Bee. will not be hiring her anytime soon.

After going down in flames, Biden had his wife, Doctor Jill Biden, dial the phone for him and call Cheney. And while neither the White House nor Cheney's office comment on the conversation, Brain Flushings and Brian Stelter's "Reliable Sources" was able to obtain a transcript of the conversation between the two.

Biden: Hello, hello Liz?

Cheney: Is that you, dad?

B: No, it's me.

C: Adam?

B: No, he died in the Garden of . . . you know the place.

C: Oh, Mister President. How are you?

B: I'm fine. Look, look, I know you just lost the election to that other lady, what's her name. I just wanted to tell you that we're all pulling for you come November when you run again.

C: Joe, I lost the primary; I can't run in November on the Republican ticket.

B: So run on ours. You just have to put a "D" after your name and do what you've been doing--going after Trump. I hate Trump. So whaddaya say?

C: I have bigger plans. I'm going to wait it out until 2024 and campaign for you job.

B: But what'll I do? I need the work. The Chinese are being too careful and Hunter isn't able to collect, if you know what I mean. No, no, no, I'm gonna run.

C: Joe, if you run again for President you'll be 82-years-young. That's going to be an impediment to your chances of winning.

B: What's an impediment?

C: Google it, you stupid dweeb. If it comes down to it, I'll run against you in your own party and kick your sorry ass out of D.C. So give it up, you old fart.

B: Thank you. I was nice talking to you, Joan.

Weird Al Franken (D) endorses Liz Cheney for the GOP nomination

Former Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al "Hands On Deck" Franken tweeted his unwavering endorsement for Liz Cheney, a Republican poseur who is trying to win reelection in Wyoming but has little chance of winning unless Democrats register as Republicans and cheat, as they have been asked to do. If Cheney somehow wins the nomination and is reelected, there will be snowballs in hell who have been given a second chance.

"I’ve decided to endorse @RepLizCheney for the Republican nomination for the House seat In Wyoming it’s my first time endorsing in a GOP primary," the woman-groper and former senator tweeted. "But I think Al Franken’s support will carry a lot of weight with WY Republicans."

To which this writer replied: "Anyone who self-refers in the third person is an arrogant dolt."

"Maybe she can hit the road with you on your comedy tour when she gets voted out, because she sure as hell isn’t getting re-elected," Florida Republican Congressional Candidate Lavern Spicer tweeted.

Some, including comedian Tim Young, took the opportunity to remind Franken of the scandal involving a picture of him groping California radio broadcaster Leeann Tweeden.

"That [sic] a very gripping endorsement, Al," Young tweeted along with the controversial photo.

"Noted sexual harasser makes his choice," columnist Kurt Schlichter tweeted.

"Kinda says it all," Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted.

Franken, a washed out comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member, was forced to resign from the Senate in 2018 following a wave of sexual harassment allegations that followed the picture with Tweeden.

Liz Cheney, the proverbial snowball in Wyoming

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was blasted by Wyoming voters on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" when they were asked whether they supported the congresswoman and give her a fourth term in office.

One Trump supporter didn't beat around the bush: "Hell no!" she said. She defended her response by saying Cheney did her former president [Trump] and her constituent "dirty" in her outspoken role with the Jan. 6 House committee [aka: television extravaganza].

"She's done us dirty… look at how she's done Trump. I'm a Trump fan," she said, adding,"she's supposed to be supporting him. She's a Republican, for crying out loud."

Randi Kaye, another Wyoming voter was asked the same question and replied, "absolutely not" when he was asked if he would vote for Cheney. And another voter said that Cheney already served more than she deserved.

There were others angry with the anti-Trump Republican, particularly her role on the Jan. 6 kangaroo court. The fact that the Democrats didn't allow the Republican Party select their own committee representatives but instead, put two RINOs in the seats--Cheney and Kinzinger--and that there was only a prosecution and no defense, is a disgusting travesty of justice.

If Cheney somehow wins a fourth term, I suggest the state audit the election because she is toast.

Latest Poll: Liz Cheney losing bigly against Trump-backed challenger by 22 points

Cheney goes after Trump at the Jan 6 TV show

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is trailing her GOP challenger Harriet Hageman by 22% in a poll released Friday. Hopefully Ms. Cheney will ride off into the sunset and disappear from the public view after she gets clobbered next month in the Wyoming primaries.

A full 52% of likely primary voters in the state would support Hageman, and just 30% would support Cheney, for some reason, according to the survey by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy for the Star Tribune in Casper, Wyoming.

Harriet Hageman

The poll was conducted between July 7th to 11th and consisted of 1,100 likely voters. Other Republican primary candidates can hang up their spurs as they received only single-digit support for the only House seat up for grabs. Eleven percent of voters were undecided because there is always anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of the population that can't decide what to wear, where to go, and what to do, never mind who to vote for.

Former President Donald J. Trump chose Hageman out of several Republicans who are vying for Cheney's seat [which, I hear, is rather large]. Cheney was one of the two RINOs who voted to impeach Trump and likely committed political suicide, rightfully so.

Admiral Rachel Levine models himself after Liz

The poll also found that most voters disagreed with Cheney's decision to serve on the Jan. 6 Committee (63%) and believe her opposition to Trump destroyed her ability to represent Wyoming (61%). Fully 54% of Wyoming likely GOP voters also said her service on the select committee investigating attacks made them less likely to vote for her.

Cheney tried to convince Democrats in Wyoming to vote for her in the Republican primary to gain support, a move that Hageman's campaign correctly characterized as a "desperate" move to "hold on to power."

The Wyoming primary election is August 16th.

Although Cheney claims to be a constitutional conservative who has fought for "everyday Wyomingites" against crippling regulation and government overreach, she seems to ignore the existence of the Constitution and rule of law, and lately appears to be more of a Democrat than a conservative.

White men increasingly embarrassed by John Brennan being a White man

Former CIA Director John Brennan said that he was increasingly embarrassed over his own "whiteness." Maybe he knows something about himself that we don't know, but one thing is clear, we on the White don't care for his insincere lament, or even the effeminate way he speaks on MSNBC.

Brennan claims that men of his race act in embarrassing ways. We play violent sports like football, LaCross and extreme frisbee. We hunt; we fish; we love femininity and we believe there are only two sexes and the concept of gender refers mostly to words that languages attribute to them. [The Spanish word pollo for "chicken"  is masculine in spite of chickens being female, or chicks, as it were.]

And yes, some White men are gay, but they know they are men who love other men, just like those women who know they are women and love other women. Having your genitalia mutilated, or wearing a dress, or getting hormone injections, doesn't change your sex.

"I’m increasingly embarrassed to be a White male these days, when I see what my other White males [are] saying," Brennan told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, who chuckled at the racist comment.

Wallace, Brennan, and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) were arguing that Republicans had lied about what happened during the Capitol Hill riots on Jan. 6, much like CNN lied about the severity of the riots in Portland, New York, Seattle, and Chicago, calling them "mostly peaceful" as fires raged and looting took place behind reporters as they spoke on camera.

"It just shows that with very few exceptions, like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, there are so few Republicans in Congress who value truth, honesty, and integrity," Brennan, who is and knows a liar when he hears one, said. "And so, they'll continue to gaslight the country the way that Donald Trump did," he ironically added, attributing these RINOs with a 'strange new respect.'

When people judge people by their skin color or any other immutable attribute, they generally are themselves what they are labeling others. Psychologists call this projection.

As a White man, and perhaps I speak for many White men, I am embarrassed to have John Brennan in my race. He is a disgusting racist and rejects the tenets of the American spirit.

LIz Cheney will have primary challenger in 2022

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is getting results from her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. Of course, the results are not what she bargained for--a primary challenger for the  2022 election.

Wyoming state Senator Anthony Bouchard has taken up the cause to clean up the GOP of those who go against its tenets and, in this case, is willing to impeach a president of their party without clear evidence [other than that offered by the left-leaning press]. 

Bouchard filed Wednesday with the Federal Elections Commission and currently represents District 6 of Wyoming since 2017.

"I expect Never Trumpers to do this stuff. But Cheney should be run out of town, and back to Virginia for joining the blame game!" Bouchard posted on Facebook in after Cheney's impeachment vote in January

The Wyoming GOO condemned Cheney earlier this month for her vote along with nine other House Republicans to impeach Trump on weak charges of "incitement of an insurrection."

The only thing about the riots that Trump was guilty of, in my opinion, is that he failed to immediately attempt to quell them the moment he saw what was happening.

"By announcing her decision to vote for impeachment Representative Cheney denied President Trump due process; she judged the 'evidence' before it was presented and refused to listen to the arguments made," the Wyoming GOP said in a statement last week.

An online petition to recall Cheney on Change.org has more than 35,000 signatures. And if you agree that she needs to be recalled, don't be shy about signing it.

Finally, please consider subscribing to my free blog, Brain Flushings. I can be satirical, sometimes angry, and generally fair. Sometimes I can even be funny--at least to myself and hopefully you.

Lix Cheney censured for her impeachment vote

The Republican Party Central Committee in Carbon County, Wyoming, has unanimously voted to censure Rep. Liz Cheney (D-WY) after she voted to impeach President Trump. 

[H/T The Daily Wire.]

“The censure resolution passed in a unanimous vote by the 45-member central committee,” The Washington Times reported. “It included a demand that Ms. Cheney appear before the committee to explain her actions.”

Carbon County Chairman Joey Correnti IV told the Times: “Our representative did not represent our voice.”  Thus she failed the Party by going rogue.

The resolution says Cheney defied the will of most Wyoming Republican voters when she voted in favor of the Democrats’ rushed impeachment article, denying President Trump due process.

Due process of the law is the idea that a person is presumed innocent until proved guilty, a process revered by Republicans and shunned by many on the left.

“The wind in Wyoming has been horrendous today—with gusts up to 65 miles per hour. That is nothing compared to the whirlwind created by Representative Cheney’s announcement that she would be voting to impeach President Trump, and her subsequent follow-through of doing just that,” the party said in a statement, to The Daily Wire. 

“There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received. Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time. The consensus is clear that those who are reaching out to the Party vehemently disagree with Representative Cheney’s decision and actions.”

“This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic,” Cheney herself said in a statement last Tuesday, blaming the President for the behavior of others.

“Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough,” she continued. “The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.”

Except the siege of the Capitol was planned prior to Trump's speech about a "peaceful, patriotic" protest [Trump's words].

“Everything that followed was his doing [unlike the time when a gunman was inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders (Communist-VT) to shoot Republicans at a ballgame and nearly killed Sen. Steve Scalise]. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. [This part is true, but you cannot blame him for what others did unless he specifically directed them to do it.] There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

“I will vote to impeach the President,” she announced, before all the facts were available.

Last Monday, House Democrats released their single article of impeachment against President Trump for allegedly inciting what they claimed was an “insurrection” at the Capitol.

Again, no Republican, no conservative, and no independent voter who voted for Trump believes the attack on the Capitol was anything but horrible. But Democrats always try to lump all Trump supporters in the same category, like Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" categorization of all his supporters. 

And Liz Cheney gave the left exactly what they want.

Trump's words at the speech were: 

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for the integrity of our elections.”

These words sound very typical of how political people speak and they clearly do not call for violence or insurrection.

I believe Liz Cheney voted her conscience but I also believe she needs to be voted out of office in the next primary election.

AOC cannot admit she's not that smart

Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Cretinous (Socialist-NY) accused President  Trump of running concentration camps along the southern border. By making such asinine statements, based on her lack of knowledge and need to simplify her points, she pissed off a slew of people who believe that using the Nazi card diminishes what the Nazis actually did, and it is an insult to those whose families and friends had suffered at their hands.

The whiny-voice author of the Green New Deal went so far as to praise Democrat FDR in her attack on the president, but her lack of historical awareness of what Roosevelt did is amazing.

Most people with even a cursory knowledge of World War II history know that FDR put between 110,000 to 120,000 Americans of Japanese heritage in internment camps. Ironically, the same Army post that AOC is attacking Trump over is the same one FDR used: Fort Sill, in Lawton, Oklahoma.

After attacking her attackers on Twitter, she doubled down on her comments and accidentally knee-capped Obama.

And now she’s defending her baseless comments and snarking at Republicans for calling her out, especially Liz Cheney who tweeted:

Please @AOC do us all a favor and spend just a few minutes learning some actual history. 6 million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. You demean their memory and disgrace yourself with comments like this. https://t.co/NX5KPPb2Hl

Liz’s tweet must have cut her to the core because the bug-eyed socilist snapped at her with a simple-minded street tweet:

Hey Rep. Cheney, since you’re so eager to “educate me,” I’m curious:
What do YOU call building mass camps of people being detained without a trial?
How would you dress up DHS’s mass separation of thousands children at the border from their parents? https://t.co/OOfrrfa1Ew
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 18, 2019

I call that following the law. You're supposedly a lawmaker; if you don't like the law, then do something useful and earn your pay. But let me ask you, why didn't you and your party say anything to Obama when he put people in those cages you people are always blaming on Trump?

AOC has got to have the intelligence of a fern.

AOC wasn’t just angry with Liz, she was shrieking at all Republicans:

And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps.
Concentration camps are considered by experts as “the mass detention of civilians without trial.”
And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 18, 2019

Wrong. Auschwitz was a killing factory.

@AG_Conservative took her claims apart:

1) They are not being detained without trial. They are awaiting adjudication. Most of the delays are due to a lack of resources approved by Congress.
2) I would call them temporary detention facilities.
3) Lastly, that doesn't explain you invoking Holocaust references. https://t.co/FhGK4BuvMm

AOC is definitely not the brightest knife on the Christmas tree, but she's bright enough to be the spiritual head of the Democratic Party.

You want concentration camps? Go to North Korea, AOC.

 @AG_Conservative tweeted at the low-information former bartender twice more:

There are concentration camps that exist in the world today. The North Korean Gulags are a good example. The temporary border facilities we have consistently used to house immigrants while we process them at the border are not comparable. Any suggestion otherwise is ignorance.
— (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) June 18, 2019

And one of main reasons those facilities are sub-par and adjudication is taking longer (aside from the huge influx of people crossing the border) is a lack of resources approved by Congress. AOC has repeatedly opposed providing those resources.
— (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) June 18, 2019

At this point AOC should've just admitted she misspoke and apologize. Actually, she'd have been better off shutting up after Liz Cheney educated her.

Yeah, right--you'd have a better chance of seeing a televised Palestinian bar mitzvah.

This has not been one of AOC's finer moments … but then again, I can't think of even one.

Being snarky isn't the same as being intelligent or being correct. AOC lacks wisdom, clarity, a basic knowledge of American history and economics.

Rep. Liz Cheney enters GND draft summary into Congressional Record for a good LOL

House Republicans announced on Wednesday that they have entered an outline of the sophomoric and controversial "Green New Deal" along with the list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding the Democratic's communist proposal into the Congressional Record. The document was deleted from the website of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (Ditz-NY) because of the laughter it created when normal people read it, but the public, as well as the GOP, were able to capture it before it was "Bleach Bit" by the former bartender turned congresswoman.

"It's very important the American people see that there be transparency about what [Democrats] are pushing," Rep. Liz Cheney, (R-WY), said at the House GOP's weekly press conference. "And we call on [House] Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi, (D-CA), to put this up for a vote on the floor," Cheney said, taking a page out of the Sen. Mitch McConnell playbook.

"We think Democrats need to be held accountable. If they support this as they say they do and as their presidential candidates do," Cheney added," then let's have a vote on it and see to what extent they're all going to get behind moving toward this kind of fantasy."

It's about time the GOP grew some cajones, and it took a woman and "Cocaine Mitch" to do the job.

You can still view the  FAQs of the Green New Deal (GND) using the Wayback Machine. It's a hoot.

It describes the GND as "a 10-year plan to create a greenhouse gas neutral society" through what it describes as "a World War II scale mobilization that focuses the robust and creative economic engine of the United States on reversing climate change by fully rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, restoring our natural ecosystems, dramatically expanding renewable power generation, overhauling our entire transportation system, upgrading all our buildings, jumpstarting US clean manufacturing (and) transforming US agriculture."

The "farting cows" part is the best, but Alexandria Occasionally Coherent-Cortex took it down from the website. It describes how eliminating farting cows will greatly reduce the methane on the planet, so we have to eliminate them.

The outline also says the Green New Deal would provide "(e)conomic security to all who are unable or unwilling to work." It also notes that the proposal's goal is "to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions ... because we aren’t sure that we will be able to fully get rid of," because those cow farts and air travel emissions may take longer.

Cheney's request for Pelosi to put the Green New Deal resolution up for a vote on the House floor follows a similar move from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who said Tuesday that he would bring the matter before the upper chamber of Congress to "give everybody an opportunity to go on record."

The Green New Deal is already supported by at least five senators seeking the Democratic nomination for president: Cory "Spartacus" Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten "Both Sides Now" Gillibrand of New York, Kamala "The Narc" Harris of California, Elizabeth "Dances Like White Woman" Warren of Massachusetts and Amy "Throws Binders" Klobuchar of Minnesota. Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie "Russian Cold Nipples" Sanders, who could also enter the Democratic primary, is another supporter.

A seventh potential candidate in 2020, Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod "?" Brown, pointedly declined Tuesday to attach his name and dismissed liberal activists' contention that he has to support the Green New Deal in order to prove his commitment to the issue.

"I don't need to co-sponsor every bill that others think they need to co-sponsor to show my progressive politics," Brown nervously told reporters.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris fired up a doobie and listened to Tupac and some Slick Rick in her crib.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
