Speaking at a conference hosted by so-called “Biblical Prophecy Expert” Phil Hotsenpiller on Saturday, disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn eagerly defended the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, which resulted in the deaths of five people, including a police officer.
Since he was speaking to a “religious” crowd, Flynn thought he’d engage in some high-level sacrilege, telling the attendees:
“Nancy Pelosi’s insurrection crucifixion, which is all about the sixth of January, right? All about the sixth of January.
“That’s a crucifixion.
“They are putting — I mean, honest to God, they’re putting good, great people, patriots up there.”

Honest to God, it’s a wonder the roof of the building didn’t open up and a bolt of lightning strike Flynn where he stood.
Crucifixion? That would be a fitting punishment for the traitors who stormed the seat of government and demanded that the will of the majority of American voters be overturned so their candidate could be installed as emperor for life.
Twitter users had a few thoughts on Flynn’s remarks, too:
The only people who erected a wooden edifice that you can use to execute people were the redhats who built a gallows outside of the Capitol.
Those great people built a gallows, chanted hang Mike Pence, and attacked the Capitol during what was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power. Flynn should be recalled to active duty, court martialed, and rot in jail.
The Florida Republican is already under investigation for allegedly carrying an underage girl across state lines and paying her to have sex with him, yet he continues to post things on social media that are both ill-advised and downright creepy.
For example, the congressman thought he’d share with the entire internet a photo of his fiancé, Ginger Luckey, asleep next to him:
Is that bizarre, or what? First of all, he didn’t get her consent to take or post the photo, and second, why in the hell would anyone put that on Twitter for the world to see?
It didn’t take long before Gaetz got slapped down for what he’d done:
We’ve known for some time now that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is a complete idiot whose only purpose in life seems to be self-promotion. It’s the Donald Trump school of politics: Always keep your name in the news.
Of course, much of the publicity Gaetz has received in recent months is due to his alleged sexual trafficking of an underage girl, which could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
And yet, Gaetz continues to draw attention to himself, as if desperate to make a complete fool of himself on social media, which he did once again Wednesday after reading an article on a right-wing blog that suggested Twitter was allowing the Taliban to post on the social media site.
That led the congressman to post this tweet:
Taliban and Trump should both be on Twitter.
More legitimate than the last government in Afghanistan or the current government here. https://t.co/VN7oxtCHk8
So Matt Gaetz wants to see the Taliban and Trump on Twitter. And he thinks their “government” is more legitimate than the one that was elected overwhelmingly by the American people last November. Wow! That’s some serious flirting with outright treason.
As for Trump still being banned from Twitter, Gaetz and other Trump acolytes forget that he was repeatedly warned about his postings and ignored those warnings. He violated Twitter’s terms of service, and that’s why he got the boot.
Gaetz, on the other hand, is just a douchebag who loves Trump more than he loves almost anything except underage girls. And he got some serious pushback for his tweet:
I would have never believed it possible for elected official @RepMattGaetz to stoop any lower, to be even less patriotic, until he began rooting for a global terrorist group whose agenda is to annihilate America. #GOPDomesticTerroristshttps://t.co/xD3TrUi3um
The Taliban killed some 2,448 US service members you pathetic weasel. You’re cheering on our enemy for political points. Don’t you wave the flag in our faces anymore and don’t ever claim you support our veterans. Traitorous cartoon faced jackass.
Maybe when he gets to prison, Matty can brag to his fellow inmates about how much he loves the Taliban right before they tell him to shut up and put on the dress they gave him.
For his willingness to cooperate with his Democratic Senate colleagues and help pass an infrastructure bill that will provide $4.6 for highways in his home state, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has been censured by the Aiken County Republican Party, proving that many in the GOP are opposed to compromise and reaching across the aisle even when it benefits them and their constituents.
“The local party this week accused the powerful South Carolina Republican of playing both sides of the political aisle to his advantage, consciously violating Republican principles, backing bills ‘that target our freedoms,’ and, ultimately, wandering too far to the left.”
The $1.1 trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill passed the Senate this week by a final vote of 69-30, with 19 Republicans cross the aisle to give their consent to the legislation, which will provide billions in funding for states and also be a boon to employment across the country.
After the bill passed, Graham issued a statement saying it was good for the Palmetto State:
“It provides much-needed help for our roads, bridges, ports, and expands broadband internet access. I have always been supportive of infrastructure investment and wish we had passed this years ago. This bill provides American infrastructure with a much-needed face-lift.”
But Republicans in Aiken County dubbed the bill a mistake, and claimed that it “degrades the rights of existing American businesses.” Their censure also included this about Graham:
“(His vote) shows a purposeful neglect to act within the fiscal conservative agenda that the Republicans elected him to diligently uphold.”
Interestingly, former President Donald Trump was also opposed to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, issuing a statement after it passed that read:
“Nobody will ever understand why Mitch McConnell allowed this non-infrastructure bill to be passed. He has given up all of his leverage for the big whopper of a bill that will follow. I have quietly said for years that Mitch McConnell is the most overrated man in politics—now I don’t have to be quiet anymore. He is working so hard to give Biden a victory, now they’ll go for the big one, including the biggest tax increases in the history of our Country.”
Sounds like sour grapes from Trump, who repeatedly talked about it being “infrastructure week” during his failed single term in office, but never actually got around to doing so with legislation or a package of suggestions for Congress, even though the GOP had control of both houses of Congress for Trump’s first two years in office.
According to Donald Trump’s most devoted (and deranged) acolytes and supporters, today, August 13, 2021, was supposed to be the day that he would be “reinstated” as president.
Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, has been saying ever since January that Trump was going to be magically back in the White House today, but considering that he’s a recovering crackhead, you have to wonder if perhaps he’s been hitting the pipe again.
However, Joe Biden remains president, and Lindell has been walking/running back his ludicrous prediction, saying in July:
“Here’s what I said about a week ago, I said we’re going to live stream to the world on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of August,” he explained about his cyber symposium in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. “But what I said was when you all see what I’ve seen and what I have, the morning of the 13th, you’re going to wake up and go, ‘Wow, what are we going to do?’ Everyone’s going to know it and that’s when we’re going to bring it to the Supreme Court.” Lindell didn’t say “that everything’s going to change the morning of the 13th” (a Friday the 13th, mind you), but “everybody’s going to know what I know.”
Translation: Forget what I said earlier. I was high on pillow fumes and Red Bull. You guys totally misunderstood what I tried to say. I never ever predicted such a thing.
Uh…yeah. OK. Whatever, man.
But the August 13 prediction did manage to produce one tangible bit of good: It resulted in some hilarious postings on Twitter. Take a look:
Happy #ReinstatementDay to all MAGA Patriots! Make sure you’ve washed and pressed your treason flag to wave at the BIG PARADE that will take place in your deranged head. pic.twitter.com/3gp108vqZu
The Traditional #ReinstatementDay Tree is Satanic Red Fir from Slovenia. Many decorate it with My Pillows, Goya beans and tiny magahats.
The tree is often topped with a windmill, and for extra cancer, 5G. A modern method is to mount a tiny mushroom to the top, called a "Stormy" pic.twitter.com/le341xWzMj

Oh well, maybe the MAGA morons can schedule another day for their next delusion. Is there anything happening on December 25 that would prevent them from making that Reinstatement Day Part Deux?
