Tilli$ Time Machine: J6, Trump impeachment
Just in case anyone from Team Trump is thinking about sending The Big Guy down to save Thommy’s chestnuts from the voters, let’s take a look at some of the things Tilli$$$ had to say about former president Trump circa 2021:
[…] “The most serious aspect of President Trump’s conduct was not necessarily what he said in the lead-up to the attack of the Capitol, but the leadership he failed to provide to put an end to it, and yet the House curiously chose not to file a charge or build their case around this point.
“It is important to note that a not guilty verdict is not the same as being declared innocent. President Trump is most certainly not the victim here; his words and actions were reckless and he shares responsibility for the disgrace that occurred on January 6. […]“Everyone knew going into this impeachment trial that it would infuriate one half of the electorate regardless of the outcome and make our nation even more polarized. I hope that the end result is short-lived, and the responsibility falls on all of us to do better. Elected officials must stop embracing and propagating dangerous and baseless conspiracy theories that undermine the faith we have in our nation and our institutions. And when we see violence, anarchy, and thuggery—regardless of whether it comes from white nationalists in the Capitol or ANTIFA in the streets of Portland and Seattle—we have an obligation to condemn it. And most importantly, we need to stop casting those who we disagree with as ‘enemies’ with evil motives and instead recognize that despite our differences we are all fellow Americans.”
O-kay. *Never mind all of the incriminating video out there of: (1) cops ushering people into The Capitol, (2) cops taunting and agitating demonstrators, (3) cops turning firehoses on the crowd early on, (4) cops targeting protesters with concussion grenades, (5) a black female cop beating the crap out of an unconscious woman at the building’s perimeter, and (6) a black cop shooting to death an unarmed white woman who had been ushered into The Capitol building.*
It’s much more crossing-the-aisle fun to bash your party’s leader and voters. Thommy gets a lot of face-time on CNN and ABCNBCCBS for stabbing his own people in the back like this. A real leader would launch a honest investigation into what happened.
A real leader would be questioning the Justice Department’s Third-World-banana-republic antics related to January 6: rounding people up months and years later and holding them in jail for months and years without hearings, attorneys, or charges. *You know, like the grandma sentenced to eight years in prison for breaking a window. Most murderers, gang members, Antifa and cartel types don’t get hit that hard by the Biden Justice Department.*
Unfortunately, we in North Carolina don’t have any *real* leaders *representing* us. The only one we can see on the horizon is the man getting sworn in as president on January 20, 2025.
The single most important political thing we North Carolinians can do in the next two years is to show that absolute pr$ck the door.
We need the fiercest, most charismatic (sorry Dan and Dale), viciously vetted (sorry Mark) candidate in this state who can go scorched earth on this clown, defeat him and then go after the corrupt Democrat candidate (should be a laydown if it is screw-WNC-Covidian tyrant Cooper).
We need a WINNER.
Not sure who that is but we need to get cracking. Because this guy has inflicted too much damage for far too long.
PS Please remember WNC this Christmas season. We should be ENRAGED about what has happened to our neighbors. ENRAGED.
Well, I agree with you. However, we are dealing with a huge chasm politically. Obviously, between Democrats and Republicans, but more importantly for us between Republicans. For example, I was listening to ‘Talk of the Town’ just this morning. Henry was lecturing us about the reasons we failed so miserably in the recent elections, particularly with council of state races. Of course, his take is that we are killing ourselves with these far-right candidates, and that we are a purple state, and we better get our mess together if we are to re-elect Thom Tillis.
What can you say to that? I know I’m not excited about re-electing big boy britches Thom. Our last state Republican Convention censured him. Many of our local Republican groups censured him. This tenuous relationship between NC GOPe and grassroot Republicans can only end in more disasters. It seems to me we should either split formally or make some working deal that can somewhat work. Or, we could wrest control from the pay to play crooks running things now. This unequal present relationship surely doesn’t work.
Who follows Hinton?
He was McCrory’s puppet. Transported Pat across eastern NC and every ECU event for the sole purpose of being appointed to BOG; one term, mind you.
I’ve never listened to his show.
FAR-RIGHT? Of whom does he speak, unless he’s speaking of Robinson. Falwell was far-right? Suppose he didn’t vote/support Morrow either; so, what is his terminology for Mo Green??????? Normal?
The 1st post states the task very succulently, we must FIND, appoint and ALL work like trojans to support THE candidate. It CANNOT be anyone tied to the ncgop, period. The farther away the connection/network to the ncgop, the better. And I also agree, Bishop, Falwell ran really poor campaigns. (Forest-like). Robinson needs to go away forever.
Reading over data today, top of ticket to his race, 3x the 2020 drop-off voter occurred. He lost by 15%. He cannot be elected to office, and HE DESTROYED the ticket.
Ronald Reagan nor Jesse Helms would salvage Tillis for me.
However, we have NO Reagans or Helms in the party any longer.
We have uniparty zealots. And they are entrenched, fully armed and only a civil war, literally, will unseat or break that hold.
I’m ready to be a soldier
