    Hawley has denied trying to incite violence with his raised fist, telling the Huffington Post: “This was not me encouraging rioters … At the time that we were out there, folks were gathered peacefully to protest, and they have a right to do that. They do not have a right to assault cops.”

    And nothing says, "Protest peacefully. Don't assault cops," like a clenched fist. It's not like anyone ever uses one to assault people.

    He couldn't have possibly known what they were planning, though.
    I mean, we knew enough on here for a bunch of people to post about it in advance.
    There was a running commentary on the Premier League board.

    Someone involved in the insurrection couldn't know as much as British football fans, though.
    That would be silly.

    I've watched and listened to all of his TV and radio interviews and I make that 13-0 to him so far , he's destroyed every one of them and their pathetic agendas
    Eddie Dempsey was brilliant the other day where he shut up Ann Widdicombe, every time the pair go into bat they do a number on the interviewers

    Have you noticed that since he took down the pants of Burley, Morgan and Madeley he's not been asked back

    The US has been an idiocracy for a long time, so who knows, and it's gotten a lot worse lately, with the likes of the North Carolina Republican Party's twitter (below), and Garret Ziegler (below that) holding office, albeit very low office, under Trump.

    In any case, the January 6th committee has done a (shockingly) brilliant job of demonstrating the steps Trump and his cronies took to execute a coup. They've also demonstrated that people behind it knew perfectly well that the election was legitimate. Hawley is a lawyer and therefore familiar with the concept of evidence. Italian satellites, Chinese thermostats, and Hugo Chavez, from beyond the grave, will not get you many courtroom verdicts, nor will waving your tiny little hands in the air and saying everyone knows it was a landslide. 61 of 62 lawsuits lost by the election deniers, and the 62nd not changing any votes, tells its own story. If Hawley didn't understand the election was fair, he should be disbarred and impeached. If he did, he should not have egged on a mob gathered by what he knew was a big lie. Such crowds aren't known for being particularly reasonable.

    Meanwhile, just because North Carolina Republicans haven't done enough to convince the world that they're booger eating morons, here's the official twitter account of the North Carolina Republican party.

    You get the feeling that if anyone had ever dated Garret Ziegler he wouldn't have turned himself into such a complete wack job. There's no mention of executive privilege in the Fifth Amendment.

    No - just hilarious. A total destruction of the election candidates. He pushes boundaries and for me at least occasionally oversteps them, but when he's on form he's dynamite. Last night was one of those times.

    Frankie Boyle made a punchline of himself by howling about blocking opposing views...in a tweet that nobody could reply to

    He went full 4chan:


    Homophobia and anti-Semitism and that's just criticising one of their own.
    It's probably not surprising that he's a full-on conspiracy nut being pushed by RT:


    I'd post a link to Russia's promotion of him, but it's blocked basically everywhere.
    He "released" a bunch of Hunter Biden's laptop ****, though.

    Twitter this AM is hilarious, with both Tories and CorbynLabourists complaining about his political 'bias'! <doh>

    Comparing the new PM situation to having 'crawled out of R Kelly's house and finding yourself in Prince Andrews basement' was a top line <laugh>

    His ****ing lawyers attempting to avoid a record of any correspondence! <laugh>
    That all sounds completely legal and above board. Nothing dodgy here, at all.

    Crooked as ****. Zahawi is up to his neck in tax avoidance / most likely possible evasion and is getting desperate.
    HMRC should be investigating and you'd hope that there would be one senior official willing to take in his 'boss' - but you wouldn't bet on it.
