Jan. 6 Firebrand Turns On Trump: ‘Dishonest, Disloyal, Incompetent, Crude’

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), a onetime loyalist to Donald Trump who spoke at the infamous Jan. 6 rally that led to the assault on the U.S. Capitol, trashed the former president in a new interview.

“It would be a bad mistake for the Republicans to have Donald Trump as their nominee in 2024,” Brooks told AL.com amid reports Trump will declare his candidacy on Tuesday.

Just wait you'll see he says again and again and again. How funny is this shit? Too funny...

Your guy won through en-masse mail in ballot fraud and ballot harvesting.

Look at everything that's happened here and worldwide since, Ted.

I'm the one doing the laughing here. Not you.

Woke is dying. The people have finally come out of their slumber and are shutting down Leftist indoctrination on every level. This never would have happened if Joe* didn't win* the 2020 election and wreck the world economy.

A great current example: It's June 18th, and I haven't heard People of the Pride by Coldplay a single time yet, when it was INESCAPABLE on every radio station every hour last year for the entire month of June.



The difference between you and I Ted, besides the 80 or so IQ points in my favor is that I'm enjoying life either way. All you did for 4 fucking years is complain about everything, and 2.5 years after your guy won you still complain about everything and jerk off to the idea of Trump going to jail.

Meanwhile, find one single thread where I complain that Hillary should be thrown in jail still. I'm sure that I've said it a few times here or there as a throwaway comment, but you post about it a dozen times a day because you're a fucking lunatic who made his politics his entire existence. You are sick in the head.



And sure... Joe* and his son should be in jail too, but I know how the game is rigged and the entire apparatus is behind the Biden* family and it will never happen, so I don't cry about it every day or make tick tock threads to nowhere and bitch and moan because I'm not a little fucking baby like you are.

Grow up son. Shake the sand out of your vagina.

ROBERT COSTA: Would he put the country at risk if he was in the White House again?

FMR. ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR: He will always put his own interests, and gratifying his own ego, ahead of everything else, including the country’s interest, there’s no question about it. This is a perfect example of that. He’s like, you know, he’s like a nine year old, defiant nine year old kid who’s always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table, defying his parents to stop him from doing it. It’s a means of self assertion and exerting his dominance over other people. And he’s a very petty individual who will always put his interests ahead of the country’s, his personal gratification of his, you know, his ego, but our country- our country can’t, you know, can’t be a therapy session for you know, a troubled man like this.

I guess chronic lying, fat sack of shit Billy Barr isn't part of the 1.8 pts worth of people voting for Trump in the general election over Biden* in the polling aggregate, huh?

Republican loyalty to Trump veers into “authoritarian bargain”

To the surprise of no one, Trump’s second federal indictment reinforced Republican loyalty to the now twice indicted, twice impeached former president.

What Is Fascism?

A century of attempts to define and whitewash Fascism

by Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Dec 7, 2022

Are you confused about the meaning of Fascism? If so, you're not alone. Benito Mussolini, the creator of Fascism, famously did not define it until 1932. With Nazis once again making news in America and a neo-Fascist as Italian head of state, I thought it was a good time to offer you an excerpt of an essay I wrote for a German publication on how the meaning of Fascism has changed over a century. I hope you find it useful.

_______________

“Everyone is sure they know what Fascism is,” writes Robert Paxton in his 2004 work The Anatomy of Fascism. Paxton gives perhaps the most comprehensive definition I have found, collapsing into one very long sentence many traits of Fascism:

“Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.”

The Jan. 6 coup attempt changed Paxton's mind about whether Donald Trump and Trumpism can be called Fascist. That brought Paxton into line with scholars such as Jason Stanley, who deems Fascism “a political method” that can appear anytime, anywhere, if conditions are right. This line of thought risks emptying the term of its historical specificity but is essential for understanding our new authoritarian age and the risks we face in America today.

Trump has long kept the Fascist flame burning in America. He started his 2016 campaign by retweeting a racist meme from the Nazi outlet The Daily Stormer (the publication of Andrew Anglin, whose Twitter account has just been restored by Elon Musk).

Trump brought Mussolini admirer and far-right operative Steve Bannon into the White House to launch his own “revolution of reaction.” In 2017 his administration gave Holocaust deniers a big gift: a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement that made no mention of Jews.

The GOP politicians who now feign outrage at Trump's association with Nazis such as Nick Fuentes had no problem with his mainstreaming of extremism, perhaps because some of them are extremists themselves (Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene have appeared with Fuentes).

It’s time to accept that the GOP, which was complicit with Trump's Jan. 6 attempted authoritarian takeover, has become a party that furthers Fascist values and practices. That means the hate crimes that have skyrocketed in America since 2016 will likely continue to expand.

However we define Fascism, remembering that its essence is violence is more important than ever.

Donald Trump, who claimed to only hire the best people, was thoroughly asked why so many key players of his administration do not want him to be president again.

• Donald Trump appeared on Fox News with anchor Bret Baier on Monday.

• Baier reminded Trump he said he was going to hire the "best" people to his administration in 2016.

• He then pointed out much of Trump's former administration doesn't support his 2024 White House bid.

Baier then pointed out to the former president that many of those "best and most serious people" no longer support him:

This time, your Vice President Mike Pence is running against you. Your ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, she's running against you. Your former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said he's not supporting you.

You mentioned National Security Adviser John Bolton. He's not supporting you either. You mentioned Attorney General Bill Barr. Says you shouldn't be president again. Calls you 'the consummate narcissist' and 'troubled man.' You recently called Barr a 'gutless pig.'"

Your second defense secretary is not supporting you. Called you irresponsible. This week, you called your White House Chief of Staff John Kelly 'weak and ineffective' and 'born with a very small brain.' You called your acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney a 'born loser.' You called your first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, 'dumb as a rock,' and your first Defense Secretary, James Mattis, 'the world's most overrated general.' You called your White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany 'milquetoast.'

And multiple times, you've referred to your Transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, as 'Mitch McConnell's China-loving wife.'

"So, why did you hire all of them in the first place?" Baier asked.

Trump responded by pointing to unnamed people who were "phenomenal" for the economy in his administration.

Video of Trump on FOX News:

Trump: First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot

Baier: You lost the 2020 election

Trump: They were counting ballots, not the authenticity of the ballot. The ballots were fake ballots.

5:32 PM · Jun 19, 2023 https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1670922502510452738

The exchange was particularly notable after Fox News in April settled a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems, which accused the network of promoting unfounded claims that ballots cast through their voting machines were "flipped" from Trump to President Joe Biden while privately acknowledging those claims were untrue.
