This is what Pennyworth in Dark Knight says: "Some guys just want to watch the world burn." There is an empty place in them, where other people have dignity. In order to make this place less itchy, they want to burn down all the different civilizations and people.
3/3 This is the "Dark Arousal" I describe in my second book "Feed the Demons": As a fallen angel, you need to make the Earth to hell. This is the only way how to get back your dignity. Money is just the upper layer. We deeply misunderstood #Russia. @MagdaVasaryova @anneapplebaum
Compile please
these are all things republicans really said

democrats forced lenders to crash the housing market. george soros manipulated the markets too. this led to obama. obama used hypnosis to convince people to vote for him.
i have a lot of love for the obama mass hypnosis storyline.

2/I had seen on social media before I arrived that Trump trains were happening locally and I was curious to see if he had gained meaningful ground (You know by now that Hillary won there in 2016 by 33 and 41 percentage points respectively.) ex:
This is the RGV where my wife Debbie (@debber66) grew up. it\u2019s the bluest part of Texas and mostly Hispanic. She never thought she would see the day! #Maga2020 #RGV https://t.co/ziPTmgjhWB

3/I also wanted to see what it was like, in a red state allegedly turning purple, to be in a blue region that may have been moving in the opposite direction.
4/Aside from Twitter, it was hard to find coverage of the Trump trains (which, according to locals, had been going on every weekend for at least a month, with hundreds involved) or of growing local enthusiasm for Trump.
5/Late morning, I spoke to @MorganGrahamGOP, the first Latina head of the Cameron County Republicans, who expected modest but meaningful gains. âI donât think heâs going to break 40%, but mid-high 30s. That doesnât seem like a lot to folks,â she said, but in the RGV, it was.
Donald Trump is the most energizing and polarizing force in American politics in living memory.
He turned out insane numbers both of lovers and haters. Itâs not hard to see the haters outnumber the lovers.
It\u2019ll never make sense to me. https://t.co/p58o1Xw47a

The âyouâre telling me more people voted for Nobody Biden than Messiah Obama?!â incredulity ignores the reality of Trump.
No. No one voted for Biden. They voted against âLiteral Hitlerâ.
Of course they did. The media programmed them to. The academy. The swamp...
Trumpâs strength and weakness are his inability to avoid the spotlight. He wouldnât let the election be a referendum on Biden and the left. If he had, he might have blunted the turnout on the left.
...
Instead, he made it about himself - and he is the most hated (and lived) guy in America.
The people turned out to âtopple a dictator.â They voted âlike their lives depended on it.â They stopped âfascism!â
Throw in the fact they didnât actually have to âturnoutâ at all, they just had to fill in ballots that were mailed directly to them, and itâs no surprise at all so many voted.
The left fundamentally altered the process of voting to create the surge. It worked. Weâre surprised?
When a big bill like this comes together, your job as a lawmaker is to try to get as many of your legislative and funding priorities into the text as possible.

Throughout the day, I'm going to explain the provisions in the omnibus budget/COVID relief bill that I led.
Don't blindly celebrate politicians "bringing home the bacon" because your $4 million project just cost Taxpayers $2.3 trillion. A bank wouldn't give credit to any of us who handled money like our government does.
Your taxes don't go up simply because we needed Covid relief. They go up because 435 lawmakers have to impress you with how much they can add to our debt of our great grandkids. As a nation, we don't actually have any of this money. Neither party cares.
#COVID19 #omnibusbill
We have to pay more attention. The credit card payment will come due at some point and there are not enough rich people to tax.
Finally, for now, don't you think it's odd that the leaders of these parties have been doing their jobs for 20-30 years and we keep having to get to Christmas deadlines to pass large, unread legislation? That's not a design flaw, it's a feature! They're playing all of us.
Same defense official confirms Mayor Bowser made request for National Guard at Capitol as it was breached. Defense officials initially offered to replace police in other capacities in the city, allowing more police at Capitol specifically, source
BREAKING: A source tells me The Defense Department has just denied a request by DC officials to deploy the National Guard to the US Capitol.
— Aaron C. Davis (@byaaroncdavis) January 6, 2021
Defense official denies that DOD denied the request from D.C. officials for more support at Capitol, but acknowledges it has not yet been acted upon.
Some 340 D.C. guardsmen already were activated in anticipation of unrest, with a support role for police. Half on duty at a time. Defense officials, smarting from outcry to military's heavy involvement in June protests, sought limited role and to shield military from politics.

("Fascism," explained roughly via tweet = racism + ultra-nationalism + sexism + attacks on human rights, the media, & unions + obsessions w/ national security & law & order + near-religious fervor for charismatic leader + cronyism + corruption + election fraud.)
