A well written op-ed.
Good time for a reminder, the Democrat party mascot isn’t a donkey, it’s a jackass, a name given because they are jackasses.
The simplest statement and one I fully agree:
What happened in DC on Wednesday is on [the left], much more than it is on Trump.
I haven’t read all of Hinderakers post, just the part on Instapundit. There, I unfortunately read all off Bernstein’s comments which I thought ignored completely 4 years of Democrats claiming Russia had stolen the election for Trump. A time in which Bernstein often wrote, “hey, let the process work” while millions was spent on a supposed investigation of a documented created by tales from drunkards.
Today, newspapers are headlining the potential of another impeachment with just 2 weeks ago. This anger and hatred is fomented by the comments of Pelosi and other Democrats. Yet, the reality is the House is on recess until after MLK day, two days before the Inauguration. They are the ones inciting violence and hate.
The Trump staff that are family to the establishment are doing the same with their silly “I’m resigning” statements the same day that starts a reasonable 2 week notice period. The only difference is none are wanting to stick around to sabotage the Biden Administration, the way Obama staffers did to Trump.
I don’t agree with what happened at the Capitol, but I’m not going to denounce Trump for it. This is what Washington and the establishment is creating, and it will get worse. Defunding the police and policies to go light on crime will ensure more violence from citizens.
How does impeachment happen with Congresscritters back in their districts (and the MLKJ holiday) until Biden* assumes the position? Or use 25th with a large portion of the Cabinet cabinet resigning to Virtue Signal their disassociation with The Evil Orange Clown and preserve their spot in the talk shows and “think tanks”?
These people shoot their mouths off and The Outer Party just laps it up and then spews it everywhere else (see Facebook) as if they are being truly profound and totally caring and all knowing.
(And this past summer, by now we’d know the names and histories of every cop in that hallway, especially the shooter, and they’d all been indicted on 2nd Degree Murder charges.)
“No Justice, No Peace.”
Trump goes out like he went in, with the media lying about what he said but now, they prevent people from sharing the video.
I considered going into the city for the protests on January 6th. I’m glad that my common sense kicked in…
Those resigning now aren’t doing themselves any favors. The list is drawn, the erasures have begun.
Too bad, now’s the time for Wray to “send a few guys over…”
Good f-ing lord man, ignored ??? They openly and proudly donated money, in some cases tens of thousands of dollars, to bail them out of jail. Knowing full well they’d be fawned over for their virtuousness. And also knowing full well the criminals would be right back at it within hours of being released. Can you imagine the spit-filled honking and garment-rending that would be going on now if anything like that was uncovered currently?
Burn down a bookstore? Smash all the glass of a Target store and walk out with a flat screen TV? Shoot fireworks at police guarding a courthouse? Here’s your get-out-of-jail-free card.
We’ve even got denizens of the ash heap here, long since thought to have comfortably returned to their respective cocoons, who have now found the chutzpah to again semi-publicly preen over their superiority, as they oh-so-sorrowfully plead for a return to normal civility. You know what? Fuck you. Just. Fuck. You.
Seeing Uncle Hugo’s SF bookstore in Minneapolis burnt to a crisp was very sad.
Litotes.
Great point. Can you imagine what would happen if Trump promised to pay the bail of those arrested at the Capitol? But that’s exactly what the left did all summer.
The DC protest was best protest ever.
And If Trump resigned, it could be a great protest.
But Trump should pardon a lot more people, before resigning, and see if he could get anymore, done, by resigning. Or apparently some people are saying they want him to resign {and what we will do, for this favor}.
And he make Pence, a US president for a week, and you get the former US president {Pence}at Joe’s swearing in as President.
Or a Trump resignation is potential deal to pursue, and it’s possible that future presidents could even follow this, becoming a tradition.
Hinderaker’s article is nice. Accurate.
But a lot of talk.
And that’s been the problem with the GOPe and people on the right – at least up until the DC demonstration:
Nothing but talk.
While I don’t advocate violence, something other than talk is going to have to be done.
Something other than whining how the Left has captured the media has to be done.
Something other than complaining that the left has captured academia (K-Phd) has to be done.
Something other than moaning about how the Left captured our institutions has to be done.
Something other than lamenting how religious freedom is under attack is going to have to be done.
A serious plan has to be put forth by serious people and seriously implemented for a long period of time before we get a Republic back.
Because we’ve lost the Republic.
We’ve slowly been losing States to Lefty migration.
You do not have consent of the governed if the election can be stolen and the will of the people ignored.
The Bill of Rights mean nothing if speech can be throttled – the 1st amendment ignored.
We used to be able to believe that whatever the differences between the two parties, that they both revered the Constitution, understood why adherence to it is important, and why it must be preserved.
No more. The left and the GOPe are now in it for themselves.
And you, friend, simply do not count.
I don’t know what Republicans are doing but there are people taking action so that they can communicate and make a living if/when they get cancelled. Most people want to be left alone but Democrats are forcing them to participate and Democrats might not like the outcome.
The FIRST thing that has to be done is that serious people who want to reclaim a Republic, have to come to grips with the fact that the Left is tireless and relentless.
I point you to this article of 2011:
https://townhall.com/columnists/emmetttyrrell/2011/01/13/more-evidence-liberalism-is-dead-n996541
Here R. Emmett Tyrell is telling us that Liberalism is dead:
More Evidence Liberalism Is Dead
Posted: Jan 13, 2011 12:01 AM
“The evidence mounts that liberalism is dead.”
“The liberal wizards, working their wonders at The New York Times and its clearinghouses in the major networks, cannot even dupe the American people with an absurd conspiracy theory anymore. ”
Well Mr. R. Emmett Tyrell guess you were wrong huh?
Lefty Liberalism (not the real kind) was not and is not dead.
And lots of the American people CAN be duped by the NY Times…can’t they?
He should be made to eat these words.
Well said. The Democrats, ALL Democrats, want to take your property, your money, your liberty, and your LIFE!
” I was very clear in yesterday’s Briefing that I wasn’t a fan of the stuff that went on in Washington on Wednesday. I had my moment of dismay over the general state of things here in my beloved country but it’s time once again to focus on the hell that the Democrats are going to soon send us to.”
The people who broke windows shouldn’t have. The people pushing law enforcement shouldn’t have. Unlike many Democrat protests, this protest was directed at the seat of government. I am not sure why we are supposed to forget the last five years of organized violence from the Democrats, even what they have been doing in Portland just a few days ago. It is time to look toward the future because the Democrats aren’t going to stop being violent and they aren’t going to stop persecuting people with their fascist control of companies.
They prosecuted a couple who stood in their driveway and faced down a mob brandishing weapons that had just breached their gate. But an unarmed protest in the Capitol, hardly different than what happened during the Kavanaugh hearing, is insurrection.
Democrats are not humans. Or terrible humans, at best.
But Rand says “humans are our greatest resource!”
The difference between Right and Left:
The Right would prosper without the Left, but tolerates them.
The Left would starve without the Right, but cannot tolerate them.
The difference between Left and Right?
The Left attacked cops with Molotov Cocktails. The Right attacked cops with a heavy metal fire extinguisher.
That cop was a Trump supporter.
After five years of public demonstrations where Trump supporters were victimized by Democrat mobs, this is the first time Trump supporters have emgaged with law enforcement. They shouldn’t have, it was wrong of them to do so.
What happened was a one off event. With the Democrats, violence and fighting cops are part of the strategy used at every event.
The Trump supporters are already being punished far more harshly than Democrat ones who had charges dropped, were released with no bail, or in the rare case of bail or a fine, were paid by the millions of Democrats who support Democrat violence.
That is hilarious considering red states get more from the feds then they pay in and the blue states pay more into the fed then they get back. Blue states subsidize the red states.
What’s sickening is how we’ve sanctified these government buildings, as if they were now holy places where we should worship the people who work there who want to run our lives “for our own good”.
I found it interesting the people that are arguing the Capitol should be more secure. These buildings were not meant to be military bunkers. They were meant as places for open debates. Our founding fathers met in Liberty Hall to establish our government in opposition to one of the most powerful military at the time.
They didn’t even lock the doors. There were some broken windows but people got in because the doors were unlocked and the cops let them inside. Can they be prosecuted for trespassing if security lets them in?
It’s no longer trespassing. It is domestic terrorism. I’m sure the Biden Administration won’t use this argument to tap all the phones of his political opponents.
An AP article called the building hallowed ground.
Most of my evidence is showing that the perpetrators of violence were far left operatives. Pick a card: Muslims, Marxist blacks, ecosocialists, Antifa…probably a mix.
This isn’t the case, at least from what I have seen, even though there were some Democrat activists mixed in the crowd.
Quite a few authors at Instapundit have been linking a lot of pearl-clutching articles about the protest. A bit ago Ed posted one by Spengler that appeared in the Asia Times, called “American democracy died on Capitol Hill”, about how the capitol protest utterly destroyed our reputation.
It was daft, so I imagined what’d he’d have written about earlier historical events, had he lived during those events.

Spengler through the centuries.
Nov 5, 1605: “British democracy died in the wee hours of this morn when authorities used barbarous force to arrest Guy Fawkes under the House of Lords. It is a stain on our government’s legitimacy that will never be washed clean.”
Dec 17, 1773: “Freedom and representative government died last night, with the outrageous and horrific vandalism of a merchant ship, laden with tea, in Boston Harbor. The colonists have thrown away any moral position they might have held, and the Lord will certainly abandon their degenerate cause.”
Apr 12, 1861: “America’s unity, and the idea of democracy itself, died this morning when Captain Abner Doubleday, a federal officer and a rumored Lincolnist, fired a cannon from the federal redoubt at Fort Sumter, aiming at Democratic citizens of South Carolina.”
Aug 28, 1963: “Washington DC, the seat of this nation’s government, came under assault today when a Republican radical, Martin Luther King Jr, and a mob of 250,000 people, occupied the city and delivered vile calls to action, threatening all we hold dear.”
Perhaps a lot of the pearl-clutchers fainting from the vapors should change their names to “Pétain” or “Quisling”…
Q: “Do you like Quisling?”
A: “I don’t know. I’ve never quisled.”
