43 thoughts on “Terrorism is Terrorism, foreign or domestic”
as Dudya said last week: there is “growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within” and “little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home” who both have “disregard for human life.”
Bill recaps the top issues of the week, including Gavin Newsom’s victory in the California recall election and shocking revelations from Bob Woodward’s latest book.
[today in DC, among things other than the rally for rioters]
Nearby gatherings planned
About one mile from the Capitol rally, organizers are planning a counter-demonstration at Freedom Plaza from noon to 4 p.m., billing it as a celebratory event with food and music to denounce the presence of “Jan. 6 insurrectionists, Nazis, and white supremacists” in Washington. Those organizers have not provided a crowd estimate but encouraged families to bring children.
“We recognize that a show of nonviolent force holds the power to silence their hateful and ridiculous ideology,” organizers of the counter-demonstration wrote to The Washington Post. “From our event’s start to finish to the departure of those that join us, we will ensure the safety of those in our space. We keep us safe.”
Also on Saturday are the annual H Street Festival in Northeast D.C. that typically attracts thousands; a Howard University football game at Audi Field in Southwest D.C.; a baseball game at Nationals Park; and a Harry Styles concert at Capital One Arena downtown.
We are on high alert in DC but this rally looks like a bust. Of course it only takes one truck bomb to make a mess.
Bink….speaking of little Johnny….he’s in class waving the hell out of his little hand after the teacher asks the class to name one thing their family needs. Susie tells of how her mom needs a new car to get to work, and then Marcia tells how they really need a washing machine, and after several others the teacher finally has to call on little Johnny who tells her that his family doesn’t need anything. Amazed, the teach says to him, “Really, Johnny, there’s nothing your family needs?”
Little Johnny then explains, “Last night my sister called and said she’s coming for dinner, and bringing her new boyfriend, who is Muslim. So then my dad says, Well, that’s all the fuck we need”.
I won’t be around to see the tv today so I guess tonight I’ll catch up to what I’m thinking will turn out to be a real Nada-Taco in the big DC.
some of the capitol police (called out in force today) will likely experience flashbacks just seeing today’s protestors no matter how large or small the crowd. PTSD can be triggered by sound, smell as well as images.

Amna Nawaz:
It is still Trump’s party, Jonathan?
But, also, look at how Republicans are treating this weekend’s rally, which was in support of the people who stormed the Capitol in support of then-President Trump.
Jonathan Capehart:
Yes. This is…
Amna Nawaz:
Which is to say, backing away, I should say.
Jonathan Capehart:
Right. This is Donald Trump’s party.
The fact that there aren’t more people like Congressman Gonzalez who are willing to stand up, one, and call Trump what he is, which is a cancer on the country, if not the Republican Party.
And when it comes to this rally tomorrow in support of the January 6 insurrectionists, I am still bewildered by the fact that the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, Republican leader in the House, hasn’t come out and said something about this.
Speaking of members of Congress who are running away from this, you know where Marjorie Taylor — Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is? She’s on her way to Italy — a friend of mine is on that flight and took a picture and tweeted it out — in first class.
So…
Amna Nawaz:
That’s some excellent reporting you’re bringing to this conversation. Thank you.
(LAUGHTER)
Jonathan Capehart:
You are welcome.
But here’s a person who is spending her entire career railing against elites and railing against AOC for wearing a dress that says tax the rich, and yet there she is sitting in first class on her way to Rome, David.
David Brooks:
Prosecco populism.
(LAUGHTER)
in re Prosecco that brooks mentioned:
Domestic terrorism isn’t terrorisn’t…and it’s not patriotism. Funny how we know what they mean by domestic v homegrown, even though both are grown here.
Homegrown invaders
Homegrown invaders
Where would we be without Homegrown Invaders
Well, then….
No more imports needed, right? We’ve got plenty here.
Nice corn .
Trump says his heart is with ‘persecuted’ January 6 rioters as Washington DC braces for a protest in support of ‘political prisoners’
Most wingnuts are going with the false flag theory that ANTIFA did all the dirty deeds on Jan 6th .
Yet most of the cases that have made it to court , we see guilty plea after guilty plea.
Now they fall back to their old thumb sucking position of being “Victims” .
Today is National Dance Day and Contact an Old Friend Day.
Nice combo.
Sent Craig a vid of an anti-vaccine rally. Had to laugh at a millennial’s comment: That sign is written in cursive. Nobody can read it.
I kept moving; no need to be near supersoreaders (if they aren’t vaxxed—they could’ve been paid to do this…or maybe they are just that selfish and stupid).
The Capitol Police were ready this time. Unlike the January 6 resurrection at the U.S. Capitol, law enforcement agencies were well-prepared for any eventuality at Saturday’s “Justice for J6” rally where there were more police than participants.
The crisis management lesson for business leaders from today’s event was “better safe than sorry.” The rally that drew hundreds of people ended Saturday afternoon after about an hour of speeches. There were no known incidents, according to news reports.

too bad there wasn’t one of those former guy baby balloons floating above the fizzled festivities
just skip the 1st 2 minutes and listen to a great rendition —
and then listen to a message for the insurrectionist and their friends:
the party’s over
it’s time to call it a day
they’ve burst your pretty balloons
and taken your senseless stupid shitty cause away
it’s time to wind up the masquerade
Too soon for Judy, and Mel , they’re new target is local election officials . That is to put their people in power to run elections.
WOW !!!
Harley-Davidson’s stunning vintage-inspired electric bikes are going on sale later this year
I found a driver update that lets me into my old camera, a good day indeed .
Besides the insurrection failing due to lack of attendance there was a lack of enthusiasm. This is not to say some of them won’t try later on. Thinking about the difference between late December and early January there is one big change, employment. Perhaps the majority of those invited decided to stay home and keep getting paid?
Those three parts are one of the best licks I ever hit. There 10,000 people under a bridge on the border right now.
A sack of them , the nuts and bolts, and 10 foot joints of 1 1/2″ PVC . Along with a tarp and awning to made to fit , and Bingo you got a 20 foot domed tent that goes up in a couple of hours.
Cheaply.
My last Leather Art piece , I made a boat load of hat bands.
I also found my Water Harvester movie .
You folks have no idea how happy I am right now.
My rage gland is inflamed , and all this pile of images does not have a mean bone in one pixel.
It’s National Dance Day –
Another idea I had , get the PGA to ask American grounds keepers to plant native plants to save our wild pollinators.
Think about it , it’s a big chain of green all over the country. If they planted milkweed we might save the Monarch Butterfly.
It’s the small moves kids.
Burns is doing Ali tomorrow night.
Make sure to watch it .
I shook his hand in 1967 , it nearly went around mine twice.
He was speaking along side Dr. Spock at a anti war rally in Cheviot Hills Park.
Just across the freeway from Century City , Johnson was hosting a Democratic fund raiser.
The LAPD was also there.
In 67′ the LAPD was not to be fucked with .
One of the fullest days of my life.
I love LA –
My last time there was wonderful . Then I took the job in Vegas. One of many stupid moves I made. The junkies took my sound system after 3 days right under my nose. The Mexican Bar next door raddled all my leather dye bottles off the shelves every weekend.
After a week , a customer came in , and as I was ringing him up .
He asked , “Well, what do you think of Vegas?”
I did not miss a beat , “Mr. I’ve lived in some shitholes, but this is biggest one yet”
Vegas has installed the bath tub drain in the bottom of Lake Meade .
When they turn off the turbines at the dam. Vegas can still suck up the last drops of the river.
Where they get the power to run the AC & neon, they may have a problem .
From the looks of the photo Poobah posted the insurrection reprisers were practicing social distancing. I guess they just don’t make insurrectionists like they used to. Stupid fuckers.
I smoked dope in a first floor apartment in the spring and early summer of 67′ to that song. On Ave X .
Little did I know I was under one of the greatest mescaline labs Texas ever had . They did not make pure crystal . It was brown tar in double 00 horse capsules .
Those boys made over 6,000 hits. Near the end of that cook they took me up stairs to see the lab . It went around the kitchen . and their were around a dozen sacks of peyote left .
They gave me a hit and told me where to find the buttons .
3 years later I led a trip to that spot , we picked six 50 pound sacks .
I hitched hiked to Grand Lake get my friend Jose” /
When we got back , there were 10 buttons left.
Eating peyote is one of the most vile things you can do.
But if you dice it and toss it over your taste buds then its better .
Next you throw-up. The longer the better, to avoid this.
Then you see he way the world works for six hours in Loony Tune colors.
I also had the pure thing in Austin once .
None of that bullshit to get there.
We should give it to everyone on Earth.
And start with our Vets.
I ate Ergot fungus once . the Salem Witch Trial suspect .
A crazy high. I think those people were eating spoiled rye.
Shiny side up . Rubber side down.
