Whups...Jan 6th hearings are imploding LOL

And we are STILL waiting to hear why Pelosi refused the offered National Guard help, why Capital Police were removing barricades and holding doors open and how the Hugh heavy magnetically locked doors which require a code we’re opened, and why Capital Police were under staffed.
 
He doesn't live in my mind...but he certainly does live in the minds of all trumpanzees who do nothing but blabber about the loser of the last election

And we all know that is rent-free living...they have no choice because donald is freeloader con man...got $250 million out of his idiotic supporters AFTER losing the election.

Don't believe me?

Where's trump university now? (shut down)
Where's the legal defense fund (never existed)
USFL? (died because of trump)
trump Casinos? (long gone)
Denial is normal before rehab can be implemented.
 
they are LIARS...just remember that, and everything will become clear. Ask yourself WHAT are they doing right now, here. They are DISTRACTING from 9% inflation, a crashing stock market, rates rising so high people will not be able to buy new houses, gas prices that are doubled, 700 Americans left behind in Afghanistan, a supply chain crisis, etc. And they want to talk about TRUMP?? LOLOL Bullc###. I think every time ANY lib socialist does this ANYWHERE, we do NOT fall for the banana in the tailpipe, and post ALL of Brandon's accomplishments!


Distracting from 9% inflation?

Please tell us what you think should be done to fix the inflation problem

This should be good
 
Still spouting that lie?

Please show us where trump loses the authority to call up the National Guard AFTER Pelosi requests them

And since Mitch McConnell was also responsible for the security at the Capitol WTF exactly was he doing?

Funny how trumpanzees never seem to getting around to that question, huh?

Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6
By ARIJETA LAJKA
July 23, 2021


CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.

THE FACTS: On Tuesday, a false claim about the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol resurfaced suggesting that Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to lawmakers’ defense during the insurrection at the Capitol.

“@SpeakerPelosi, why did you block the National Guard from protecting the Capitol?” Indiana Rep. Jim Banks tweeted.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy posed a similar question on Fox News saying, “Was there a decision by the Speaker not to have the National Guard at the Capitol that day?”

The answer is no.

“On January 6th, the Speaker, a target of an assassination attempt that day, was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was. This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame,” Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi told The Associated Press in an email.

The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.

The House Sergeant at Arms reports to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell, a Republican who was then Senate Majority Leader. There is no evidence that either directed the security officials not to call the guard beforehand, and Hammill said after the insurrection that Pelosi was never informed of such a request.

The officials on the board, along with the former Capitol Police chief, Steven Sund, have disputed each others’ accounts of who requested the guard when. Both Sergeants of Arms and the police chief resigned immediately after the attack.

Once Trump’s supporters were assaulting police and breaking into the building, Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer appealed to military leaders, asking the Army to deploy the National Guard.

“The Speaker believes security officials should make security decisions. The Speaker immediately signaled her support for the deployment of the National Guard when she was presented with that recommendation on the afternoon of January 6th. Public testimony confirms the fact that the Speaker was not made aware of any request for such a deployment prior to then,” Hammill said in a statement this week.

Republicans have falsely laid the blame on Pelosi without mentioning that GOP Leader McConnell had similar authority over the security officials that day. But there is no evidence that either was involved in any effort to block the National Guard before or during the insurrection.

the mayor DOES..and she AND Pelosi, WHO IS 100% RESAPONSIBLE for security in that building.

EASY, EASY answer. Rescind the executive orders that were signed the day Brandon was installed illegally in to office, and have the socialist STOP making it impossible for oil companies to drill in the gulf of Mexico, Alaska, and other places...and STOP begging our enemies to produce more oil. Gas prices effect EVERYTHING we buy. This is where I would STRAT...then quit printing money to fund other Countries that will provide kickbacks to Brandon and the rest of the crooked politicians.

PROBLEM SOLVED. So easy. But BEST answer is for that IDIOT to resign..admit he stole the election, and put Trump where he should be anyway...he would have this turned around VERY quickly...just like he did when Hussein left office, and left the mess he did.
 
Everyone quit falling for the banana in the tailpipe...these libs are trying to distract from what REALLY matters...because they CANNOT defend those policies. I suggest we hold them accountable for what matters, and ignore the noise they are making to distract from reality

Better go to Congress and tell this bipartisan group of legislators they don't know what they're doing...there is no loophole in the 13th amendment

Group of federal lawmakers working to remove slavery loophole in U.S. Constitution

Juneteenth is now a federal holiday marking the end of slavery, but a group of lawmakers says there’s a loophole that has allowed another form of slavery to evolve with forced involuntary labor inside the nation’s prison system.

The ACLU estimates that incarcerated workers produce at least two $2 billion in goods and $9 billion dollars worth of prison maintenance services a year, but those prisoners don’t earn much.

Daniel Rosen said he knows firsthand after serving 6 years in prison.

“You feel like property of the state. A lot prison uniforms say property of that state and it’s not about clothes you’re wearing it’s about the person,” said Rosen, a formerly incarcerated individual who now works for Worth Rises.


Rosen and Robert Willis, who spent 7 years in prison collectively, are part of a national push to improve workforce conditions for prisoners. These two formerly incarcerated men say they understand being held accountable for their crimes, but they say the process should be humane.

“Being dehumanized, not appreciated, and it actually affects you when you return back into society because you just spent the last number of years being you know in slave-like conditions,” said Robert Willis, formerly incarcerated individual and now Justice Advocacy Coordinator for Latino Justice.

A new ACLU report examining prison labor at the state and federal levels shows some states pay prisoners an average of 15 and 52 cents per hour but the state prison systems in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas don’t pay at all for most of its prison work

In a statement to the Washington News Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said humane treatment is a top priority and that “an inmate’s job assignment shall be made with consideration of the institution’s security and operational needs, and should be consistent with the safekeeping of the inmate and protection of the public.”

Georgia Congresswoman Nikema Williams is leading the effort to remove the slavery clause from the 13th amendment that still allows it as punishment for a crime.

“We’re building towards the future, we’re correcting those things from the past and this is one of those stains of our past that we absolutely need to address, she said.

Congresswoman Williams said she has more than 130 sponsors for the bill in the House which includes some Republican support.

“This an education piece, because I’ll be honest with you, before I came to Congress, I didn’t realize that this was a part of the Constitution,” said Williams. “I’m grateful to be having conversations with you so that we can make sure that people understand that this is still legal in our United States Constitution and that’s why we have to remove it…it’s about making sure that people are aware, and then taking the action to actually do something about it.”

Williams said she will need a two-thirds majority to pass because this is a Constitutional amendment. But Some Republicans aren’t supportive of the measure.

“Requiring convicted, able-bodied criminals, to perform meaningful work is in no way comparable to the atrocity of slave ownership,” said Congressman Ralph Norman (R – South Carolina) in a written statement. “This is another glaring example of how soft on crime the Democrat party has become. Prison is not a bed & breakfast, and it’s not asking too much for convicted criminals to work, especially since the rest of society is shouldered with the massive costs of their incarceration.”

But for Rosen and Willis, they say removing that clause sends a message to the prison system.

“That human rights matter because at the end of the day this is a human rights issue,” said Willis.

The ACLU is also pushing for incarcerated workers to get the same labor protections as other workers which would include earning minimum wage, setting health and safety standards and protection from discrimination.

That's the most ridiculous piece of crap I've ever read. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm in law enforcement. The inmates beg and plead for these jobs that you and yours call slavery. They don't want to sit around and do nothing.

It costs around $40k a year to house inmates in prison, for crimes they've committed, and people like you want to pay them at least minimum wage to do work that they themselves want to do to help pass their time more quickly? Good Lord, man.

You are absolutely out of touch. In our county jail they wash county vehicles, they cut grass, they clean roadways, they do laundry, they work at an animal shelter, do county maintenance and they work in the kitchen. These inmates will do just about anything to get selected for these "slave" jobs because they represent a better way to do their time.

The non-working inmates will even set up "trustees" to get them caught doing something wrong so that they themselves can get their positions.
 
The ACLU estimates that incarcerated workers produce at least two $2 billion in goods and $9 billion dollars worth of prison maintenance services a year, but those prisoners don’t earn much.

And FTR, they volunteer for these positions. Just volunteering isn't enough. They have to be model inmates that volunteer and only a few are selected.

It's a very desirous position for them. Does that sound like slavery to you? Do modern day slaves beg and plead to be slaves? GMAB
 
Lol bro we still have shotgun squads in Florida.

I'd be shocked if the inmate workers that the shotgun squads were guarding didn't volunteer (see beg and plead) for the job they were doing outside of the prison walls.
 
If that "bipartisan" BS passes, they will just stop allowing these inmates doing ANY work around jails and prisons.

There's no money in the budget for it and allowing them to work is more of a kindness and a reward for being a good inmate.

If this passes, no one will be more pissed off than the inmates. Congrats for rescuing people who do not wish to be rescued.

Moreover, the pride they have in being useful during their incarceration is absolutely beneficial to their self-esteem. It's one of the very few good things about Prisons and jails.

You really think a stridently divisive bill like that stands any chance of passage as we sit just 5 months short of the impending bloodbath in the HOR? Dems are killing themselves to try and appear moderate in order to get re-elected ...

These ones don't, they have to work a the work camp. However, this is part of a tier 4 drug treatment prison, which includes Gainesville CI, where they go thru the 12 step program, then Gainesville Work camp, where they work for DOT, and finally Santa Fe community corrections, which is/was free world work prior to their release.

At UCI, where I also worked, everyone has to work, the paid positions like the tag plant, broom plant, and metal furniture factory, and food service are the coveted positions. It's also unfortunately where the shanks come from. The orderlies and the run arounds don't get paid, but they have freedom of movement in places like confinement and the bug hut. The only people at UCI that don't work are people locked up in AC/DC, Death Row, or CM, and the guys in PM. And the bugs in CSU.

Holy crap Captain Strawman. Slavery is not legal in the US.

Some prison inmates can be compelled to do "hard labor" as a condition of their incarceration. However, outside of military justice, I don't know that it ever happens.

Some prisoners choose to work jobs that either a) shorten their sentence, b) provide them with some type of on the job training c) fill their days with something other than the monotony of sitting in a cell all day.

They do here. There's quite a waiting list.

There would be two kinds of prison in my world.
1. One for the non-violent rule/law breakers.
2. And one for the violent thugs that have no place in a civilized society.

Those in #1 would be rehabbed with education and given job training.
If they didn't show reasonable progress, then off to #2 they would go.

Those in #2 would be worked and left to serve out their entire sentence.
Instead of a weight room, I would have them all busting big rocks into marketable gravel.

The privileged better guys among them would be allowed to work on the farm/ranch, to grow and raise at least some of what they eat.

Those that refused to work would soon starve and end up being fertilizer for the farm...
