NOW: Sen. Bob Ballinger is presenting his stand your ground bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill would end the duty to retreat. #arnews #arleg #arpx @KATVNews


Ballinger, present with an NRA representative, has introduced an amendment that cleans up the language he says. (The amendment passes)
Now he's presenting his bill w/ amendment to the committee. #arnews #arpx #arleg @KATVNews


Ballinger: In short, you're going to hear this is a license to kill - that isn't the way it is in California or Illinois or other jurisdictions. We have worked with AG's office, prosecutors, law enforcement... #arnews #arpx #arleg @KATVNews

NRA Rep: SB 24 does not encourage violence or give anyone a license to murder. This is a very narrow concept that simply protects victims of violent crime that choose to defend themselves before attempting to flee. #arnews #arpx #arleg @KATVNews


Sen. Stephanie Flowers: A convicted felon has the right to have a weapon at their dwelling and use it to defend themselves?
Ballinger: It's saying they don't have the duty to retreat, but you can still prosecute for felon in possession of a weapon #arpx #arnews @KATVNews

the Military, starting with the Joints Chiefs on down are is walking a fine line in watching this take place...some might say they are doing their jobs...I'm not convinced that we have to take the Nation to the precipice because layers need for f'ing evidence.

These people - and I use the term loosely - are a disgrace to this Nation and the American People.

USDoJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI - ALL KNEW this was happening...

248 Years of the finest Democratic Republic in History.

Now only 7 days...to the waterfall's edge.

Ever Wonder what Romulus Augustulus felt like in the last days of the Roman Empire?

When the people tolerate BULLSHIT as accepted truth ignoring common sense and FACTS to the contrary, what comes next is not going to be pretty.

If the military KNOWS what it going on and shipping ARMED National Guardsmen to the front lines in Washington - that means the hire-ups KNOW TOO...that would be collusion, Misprision of Felony, Misprision of Treason...not good traits for Military officers.

There needs to be a mass movement of political maturation. People are obviously encouraged to move at the pace which best suits them, but it is concerning, to say the least, that people closer to 40 are still impressed by political pageantry over policy.

Now what pace is that? Progress is all but stalled when you’re more agitated by the truth than the lies you’ve been led to believe and repeat about misleadership in this country.

Perhaps you aren’t interested or invested in an equitable society where the poor and working class represent themselves. But it truly should eat away at you that you’re fine being corralled into repression and subjugation by “your” government.

The emphasis we place on political education is not symbolic or even an attempt to rewrite history. It allows us to see what methods Black revolutionaries used, but also to see how the government subverted and destroyed their movements.

They saying is “history doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes”. Many people were exhibiting their first term Obama jubilation. What we know happened next is the justification for why those pipes in Flint were never fixed, why so many extrajudicial killings of Black people happened etc.

Yep, and the parallels to Nazi Germany, where the same kinds of people supported the Nazi party, are hard to miss. Equating people who didn't finish college with the "working class" is missing the picture. By that defintion, Sean Hannity is working class.


In my last conversation with a Trump fan I know, what came across strongly was the petty bourgeois resentment and even hatred of the government employee, who is invariably portrayed as a leech who doesn't work for a living (though they do and have low salaries for their resumes.)

This dovetails with white supremacist urges. For petty bourgeois that want to trap people of color into low-paid service work, seeing Black and Latino people at government desk jobs makes them irate. Nothing will get them raving about "wasting" taxpayer money faster.

That's what a lot of Cletus safari pieces are missing that those of us who actually know Trump voters aren't: The anger that is stirred every time they see a Black firefighter or a Latino county clerk, that rage that these folks have secure middle class jobs on "their" dime.

When Trump talked about the "deep state" out to get him, that's the bone he was tickling. That, and anger at the D.C. high level bureaucrat class that is well-educated and stirs the constant jealousy over people that are more cosmopolitan and sophisticated.

@franifio How did Putin get Trump nominated? Trump had to get nominated for Putin to get him elected. Your answer must include evidence, including documents, testimony, and other forms of evidence as defined in the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure, The Rules of Evidence.

I have the answer to how Trump got nominated, and the evidence, which is considerable. Putin had nothing to do with it.

Here we go---First, Hillary asked her friends in the media to "elevate" Trump as she wanted to run against

The media did exactly what they were asked to do by Hillary for America and DNC executives--They promoted

@NickNYIslesMets @kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor As you say it is unclear but there is little to no legal precedent other than two instances in recorded history the Supreme Court because of how the Constitution is laid out properly and it is written pretty strongly i don't believe at all they will rule anything.

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor As a constitution spreads out as interpretive only incumbents a tool that was used literally so America's impeachment law would not be used against private citizens. It is highly unlikely with little to no chance that the Supreme Court will give congressional power that way.

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor More likely they will refuse to hear the case.

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor And you have the conservative majority so

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor As a betting man I would say odds are like I said Above This impeachment is Dead on Arrival the Democrats know this that's why they're going to try to delay even sending the Articles to the Senate not back until the 19th.
Trump will go free and be entitled to all of his benefits.

@shipman96 On VZ she was literally spouting CIA and Big Oil talking points for overthrowing an elected gov for OIL. And she's supposed to be all about a GND? But she's plugging for an oil coup d'etat? And then she's so horrified by this storming at the Capitol bldg? 4/

@shipman96 What does she think she's promoting for Venezuelans? Someone posted today she follows Guaido's account & we've seen her post in response to anonymous VZ coupist accounts -obsequiously thanking them for their *erudite* political advice; i.e. the same way she fawns over Pelosi

This is such BS

The storming of the Capitol was just the latest in a long line of examples in which Trump's supporters took him LITERALLY.

At least 87 ppl were killed by right-wing terrorists in the first 3 years of Trump b/c they took him LITERALLY https://t.co/FEmOzv6Kxj

Here are other examples of right-wing terrorists being inspired by Trump's rhetoric

AUGUST 2015: 2 brothers beat a homeless man in Boston with a metal pipe who they believed to be an undocumented immigrant. “Donald Trump was right,” they told police.

3/ OCTOBER 2016: 3 men arrested for plotting a series of bomb attacks against Somali-Americans in Kansas.

Two of the three men were Trump supporters who shared his anti-immigrant views.

4/ MAY 2017: A University of Maryland student accused of stabbing a black U.S. Army lieutenant to death apparently liked memes about Donald Trump, white supremacy, and the alt-right.

5/ AUGUST 2017: Members of a far-right militia bombed the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, MN in an effort “to scare” Muslims.

When I say Trump is not special, I mean his politics fall comfortably on a spectrum between neocons and Tea Party Republican and his preening reality TV persona and alternating gleeful and sulking narcissism are fairly typical for that type of conservative.

Trump's only innovation was to unapologetically say the quiet part out loud and get away with it, bringing the GOP's racism, misogyny, and desire for white supremacist, monarchal rule to the forefront, but Republicans and the media were eager to enable him from the start.

It could have been anyone, though. You can see guys like Jim Jordan and even Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham wish they'd done it first. Because the GOP and their rabid white supremacist base were fully primed for someone to come along and say and do what Trump did.

Once Trump won, the entire GOP folded into Trumpism overnight because there was never any practical difference between them. The early worriers like Graham merely feared it wouldn't work and there would be a political price to pay. It turns out: not really. The base ate it up.

The media spent about a year trying to spin Trump as a continuation of "respectable" Republicanism or in tension with them before they caught on that conservatives didn't care and just started repeating his lies with a shrug.

“Every person I've ever known about that's been a white supremacist has left the movement through an act of compassion or love. They didn't leave it bc someone convinced them their belief systems were wrong.”

Daryl sounded the alarm back in 2009. His report was politicized by the GOP. He warned that white supremacy was on the rise.

He knows of what he speaks.
