The most important lesson of the Jan 6th #stupidcoup is that Republicans are willing to do anything to win elections except appeal to a majority of the electorate.
And "anything" will increasingly include illegal and violent acts.

A composite meme. The top is Darrell from the office by a sign that was modified to say "this country has gone 0 days without a j6 parson recipient commiting a crime" and the bottom is a headline from the NY TImes about Jonathan Braun who was pardoned by Trump and has been Sentenced 27 months.
Once again.

A composite meme. The top is Darrell from the office by a sign that was modified to say "this country has gone 0 days without a j6 parson recipient commiting a crime" and the bottom is a headline from Barbara Sprunt saying "Pardoned Capitol rioter arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries"
Both shocking and not at all surprising.

"Chansley refers to more than 1,000 exhibits stored in a Google Drive folder to support his claims, though the folder was inaccessible when reporters attempted to view it."
I am speechless.

Today's newsletter. Which, yes, is loosely about wine but I am way more interested in humanity, history, politics, than I am interested in wine. I just happen to have a wine shop.

I always forget the hashtags. I need a Bluesky tutorial. #wine #writing #stupidcoup
The work of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social is fatefully, urgently critical — history may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. #NotMarkTwain #StupidCoup

My newsletter today. I barely even touched upon the dystopia. Wine, art, sake, maps…it felt a little good, a little like dereliction. But dammit, I’m just a liquor store.

You ever write a letter of complaint, and some knucklehead thinks it's DIRECTIONS? #stupidcoup #declaration #history
My newsletter today. I might talk a little bit about hunting local rabbits. Hey, we do what we gotta do. #wine #stupidcoup
Someone please tell us exactly what we need to tell our reps when we call their offices. Are we calling senators? House reps? Both? We need an action plan and a script, not just more info in our overly taxed & stressed brains.

My newsletter today. I am unable to focus on the wine during this rapid disassembly. #wine #stupidcoup

This list is by no means comprehensive, and any astounding omissions are my fault entirely. #StupidCoup
Pardon me while I go bang my head into the nearest wall 😦 Their stupidity and carelessness apparently truly knows no bounds! #StupidCoup

Some humor in an incredibly terrible situation.

Pretty much. Classified planning on Signal was an error of such monumental stupidity that it has made the entire world less safe. And the "But her emails!" crowd is suspiciously silent about the fact that ACTUAL classified information was shared on an app that wasn't suitably secure! #StupidCoup
Then Trump proudly displayed his ignorance on multiple fronts. #stupidcoup
Exactly. And all you get is blithering in response. #StupidCoup
If Trump & republican leaders were able to convince you that it was a problem for Hilary to have used a SECURE private email server for NON-classified emails, I'd like to know how you explain away why this HUGE security breach on ACTUAL war plans in detail is ok.
...We're waiting...
#StupidCoup
It’s worth mentioning that Waltz is the one who added The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to that Signal chat that violated national security.
And now Vance (who was also in that chat) sends his wife to conquer Greenland. A roomful of monkeys on typewriters couldn’t make this shit up.
#StupidCoup
#StupidCoup This is so absolutely and monumentally stupid and dangerous. But also, why the fuck are they attacking Yemen?
“We’re sending in a bunch of adolescent-brained tech-bros to clean up the government with barely-tested AI programs.”
What could possibly go wrong?
#StupidCoup
Howard Lutnick is not talking about social security, he's talking about MAGA, Musk, Trump, Republicans:
"A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling, and complaining.”
This is their entire MO, is it not?
This is a coup.
