Listen Dover, you set rules. You then allowed the Thought Leadership to post what may or may not be private information about me. You’ve now said that anyone doing that will be banned. Pity you waited so long.
Let’s leave Clorox aside.
You’re now starting the ambiguity again with what is and isn’t a pile-on and you’re twisting shit around.
Suck it up, propellor-head.
You fraud, Driller.
The last point in bold is very interesting
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the bill into law last year, provisions such as eliminating cash bail will take effect on Jan. 1 of 2023. The law makes Illinois the first state in the country to eliminate cash bail.
The SAFE-T Act:
abolishing cash bail will affect “almost every offense,” including “kidnapping, armed robbery, second degree murder, drug induced homicide, aggravated DUI, threatening a public official and aggravated fleeing and eluding.” Town leadership also argued that victims of crimes will be denied “their constitutional rights,” denounced how offenders released on electronic monitoring devices will need to be in violation of their parole for 48 hours before police can act, and police will no longer be able to remove trespassers from a residence or business.
Propellor-head is a compliment in librarian circles.
Keep up the sweet-talk.
Used to think blowhard, but it’s real descriptor is a laughable fraudulent galoot.
To be clear, I would like a minimum of rules.
But if you must have them, they should be applied equitably.

<blocZachary Rolfe’s ’use of force covered up’
Matt Cunningham
Sky News Northern Australia Correspondent
@mattcunningham
32 minutes ago September 13, 2022
Senior Northern Territory police were constantly covering up Constable Zachary Rolfe’s unjustified use of force, according to statements made by his former fiance.
Claudia Campagnaro – a former Alice Springs police officer – also told investigators Constable Rolfe had told her he liked being a soldier because “it was good money and they could go out and kill people”.
Can’t find a photo of Claudia but I bet she has flashing dark eyes, that are large, limpid and dead. Poor old Zac has more bullseyes on his back than head prefect has shorts.
Conveniently forgotten is that the 3rd nations thug was a rapist, girl-friend and family flogger and all round piece of shit; all due to colonialism and persecution by hard arsed librarians.
Yes.
DFAT officials linked to Australia House are deeply concerned Mr Roberts-Smith will be attending the Queen’s funeral.
So many fat arsed bureaucrats in need of fucking firing. Imagine the money we could save, and the potential pleasure of finding out that your new cleaner was formerly a London based DFAT official!

Lol Sancho.
Nobody noticed any pile-on*, and likely still don’t.
Never mind getting all lathered up about it.

If you don’t own multiple firearms and tons of ammo you’re an idiot.
Dr Scamps told The Telegraph: “My husband and I decided to invest in Tesla back in 2019, well before I had any intention to enter politics.
“We made this decision as it aligned with our family’s values, and our belief that the world must transition to a net zero future if we are to leave our children a liveable world.”
This is utter bullshit. I can understand someone saying that investing in an EV company aligns with their “values”, since investing in a company supports what it’s doing, even if only in an indirect way by supporting its share price.
Though of course even someone who owns EV shares should recuse themselves from deliberations about throwing taxpayers’ money at the EV industry.
But a CFD is just having a bet. What this pseud is doing is equivalent to putting a brick on the Lions for Friday night then expecting to be part of the AFL tribunal with Selwood Dangerfield and Cameron as the defendants.

Hey, Sal.
What did you think of the bloke who gave it to Prince Andrew during the funeral procession?
The timing was not ideal, and he got a bit of a scragging, but nothing serious.
I reckon their hearts weren’t in it.
They thought the sentiments – that Andy was a “dirty old man” – were accurate, but the timing was off.
Not according to the fifty or so Plus 500 spam ads I have to endure each day.
Okay.
Anyway back to the discussion with the Duk
Duk, from WW2 up to 1971, I think it was, we had Bretton Woods which had the dollar fixed to gold, called the gold exchange standard. In fact, up to 1971 the Australia pound and then dollar was indirectly set to gold firstly through the Pound and subsequently through the dollar.
You think this was stable period for inflation? Check out the RBA page for historical CPI and insert the values. Inflation between federation and 1965.
The inflation rate for the period was 2.8% (1901 to 1965)
Here:
https://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/annualPreDecimal.html
This suggests things were out of line when the dollar wasn’t anchored to a currency which in turn was anchored to gold or when they introduced and inflation target in 1993.

I don’t think anything. I’ve not paid any attention to the change of monarch, to the point I’ve no idea if there is a funeral procession or if you’re having a lend.
I take it “gave it to him” is not in the Brokeback Mountain sense?
Let me guess.
“Dot. Are you a real man?”
… Hell yeah!
“Do you back your judgement?”
… ‘ken oath I do.
“Are you macho enough to invest in CFDs?”
… YEEAAHHH! Where do I sign?
Hahahahah not at all. I’m fine with the pet mollusc copping a hiding every few minutes as he deserves it. However, the beatings he receives are nearly all transmitted direct to him. This indirect crap is just sad.
Nah.
Called him a “dirty old pedo” or somesuch, and it had to be heard by all in the procession.
Normally you’d expect him to be torn limb from limb.
But no.
Ruffled his footy jumper and that was it.
For those jealous of what librarians get up to all day.
Nympho Librarian. The prim miss took off more than her mask of respectability behind the stacks…. with any man who asked.
As you were told at school, don’t be afraid to ask the librarian.
Appears to have turned out differently to someone suggesting Andrew would be applauded by the British public. Who was that? Anyone recall?
Her testimony is as whining and sanctimonious as a regular divorce hearing.
After reading some of her made for TV pap, I think Rolfe actually dodged a bullet.
A territorial coroner might condemn him for wanting to kill people who would use violence themselves to threaten our still enviable standards of living and political stability.
No, that’s admirable, not detestable.

Ha, ha, you remembered!
That was my point.
Sure, it was only one heckler, but the response said it all.
I think those in the crowd just thought, “Yeah. He is. But now isn’t the time.”
The reaction to the heckler wasn’t what you might expect if Andy was universally admired.
Hahahahahahaha Did he? I read he was wearing an AFL guernsey.
Good. The gossipers have been quieted and called back to task.
This hot & steamy librarian talk bring a new meaning to Bibliophile.
If counsel for Rolfe and his family aren’t prepared to launch several dozen ‘scorned and dumped bimbo’ ICBMs against Mzz Campagnaro tomorrow, they’re not having a crack.

We all do? Anchor, Cassie, and a number of others think monty is a troll. The position I laid out in the recent post is to ban trolls but to be charitable in deciding who is one; I’m still undecided about monty because on occasions he surprises me.
There was no ambiguity then or now. The point of the policies is to provide some guidance to people commenting, but I didn’t institute them so commentors can see how far they could push matters nor so they could engage in lawfare against their opponents. Further, in that recent post, I never specified how I would deal with pile-ons in future because I’m still undecided on that matter.
I think they may have started building it before Mr Tzu came on the scene.
Old School, you appear to be trying to make it sound as though barter is the next thing up from Crypto. No one is going to be bartering to buy guns other than about .000000001% of the population in 2029.

No you didn’t. It took weeks to deal with Clorox whereas Liz took up what, about 77% of the thread going into detail about the occurrence.
As for being undecided what is a pile-on. Are you kidding? You say you’re undecided now about what is and isn’t a pile, but you’re very clear Liz was the victim. What is this, another word game.
If you’re uncertain in Fatboy is a troll that means by your definition he isn’t a troll otherwise he would’ve been whacked.
Okay, it’s not getting anywhere as you’re more interested in playing words games that end up nowhere. Thanks.

I didn’t say I was undecided about what a pile-on was, I said I was undecided about how to respond to them.
No, it means I’m charitable. It means that I tolerate a great deal of conduct that I probably shouldn’t.
They’re not word games. But I’ll grant you the floor, if this afternoon was a pile-on, why am I looking only at Winston?
For a very long time I thought that jingle went, “Get on ya Mum.”
So I didn’t buy that bread.
A pile on by definition is two people or more ganging up on someone else. Perhaps you’re able to create some other definition we’ve never heard of and I happy to wait and hear it. The indirect conversation about someone epitomizes a pile-on. Stop the fabulist from doing that.

Of course not. I’ve never referred to you as drills. That’s a crazy idea.
You’re such a joke.

Grow up.
Agreed, the point I was making about The Turtlehead snitching on me to Sinclair that I was mean to him.
Before I forget, you’re a fraud.
If someone is digging into someone else, I’m for the most part going to let it go, unless it looks like ruining a thread.
I have, but Rosie seems able to deal with it and returns serve. I’d prefer not to see it, however; at least the piles-on she used to attract have more or less stopped.
Never happened, I did not snitch on anybody.
You’re beginning to realise how old & feeble minded you are – that’s a start.

Rita Panahi: AFL displayed appalling judgment by giving into divisive Leftist voices
AFLW players should be embarrassed they couldn’t bring themselves to honour one of the most significant women in history.
HERALDSUN.COM.AU
The pitiful decision by the AFL to ditch a tribute to the Queen during AFLW Indigenous round gives an insight into what we can expect if we continue to pander to the race-baiters and the identity politics-obsessed activist class.
It’s a road to division, collective guilt and the most noxious form of political correctness.
AFLW players should be embarrassed they couldn’t bring themselves to honour one of the most significant women in history.
As many have noted it appears the W in AFLW stands for ‘woke’, not ‘women’.
If it wasn’t for the ‘western imperialism’ that they decry so incoherently there wouldn’t be an AFLW or the many platforms where the perpetually aggrieved can play victim.
Aboriginal leader Warren Mundine was disgusted by the AFL’s actions. “I’m a little tired of white people and woke organisations speaking for Aboriginal people and assuming to know what Aboriginal people think and feel,” he wrote.
Author and political science professor Wilfred Reilly describes wokism as the idiotic belief that “(1) all of society is currently and intentionally structured to oppress, (2) all gaps in performance between large groups illustrate this, and (3) the solution is ‘equity’ – proportional representation without regard to performance.” A more succinct definition is one I saw on a T-shirt: “Woke: A state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything but their own behaviour.”
Queen Elizabeth II’s death has triggered a competition between the opportunists, victimhood appropriators and other assorted attention seekers determined to make this moment in history about them.
In their eagerness to play victim they demonise the Queen, the Monarchy, the British Empire and Western civilisation but they also have revealed how historically illiterate they are on all these issues.
It’s a sad state of affairs when the dude from MAFS has a better grasp of reality than Greens MPs and many academics.
Dean Wells posted: “To all the people whinging about “colonialism” from their iPhones, powered by electricity, using a written language, from inside a building that has constant running water, plumbing, aircon and all other modern conveniences that western civilisation has provided for us all to live the most comfortable, prosperous, safe, privileged lives of any humans in all of history … Please kindly STFU or go back to living in the bush.”
The AFL displayed appalling judgment by giving into the most radical, divisive Leftist voices.

Somebody’s not a fan.
Son and heir just recently swapped out his 97 Fairlane for a ute*. Not because I have been in his ear to get a ute rather than the procession of stupid doofmobile shitboxes he’s been rotating through for the past year and a bit, and not for the reasons put forward as to why he should get one – which included, but were not limited to:
1. They are practical;
2. Prospective employers will see a ute as an indicator of a preparedness to actually work, as opposed to someone driving a 2002 Lancer with bald tyres and the previous owner’s ‘West Side Ryderz’ sticker on the rear windshield; and
3. There is no likelihood of a carload of pissed mates egging him on to exceed his driving ability and thus wrap it, himself and his mates around trees and/or culverts.
Noooo, not because of wise fatherly advice. It turned out to be because he had the shits on about becoming a taxi service for not only his missus but her sister and various friends, ferrying them all over town to and from shops, parties and so on, and in between his own work and school commitments. Now, he says, he can only do it for one rather than several.
I said to him last night: ‘Are you ferrying her all over town at all times of the day and night because you want to, or because you feel you have to?’
‘Er, um, ah.’
I feel this state of affairs is becoming very stale, very quickly.
*An AU ute, steel tray, springloaded sides. Yes egg_roomba, it is also manual.
Utes are useful. Reminds me of a song…….
“…rootin’ in the back of the ute…”
no I think it was either Fun Tzu or Shih Tzu
Just a comment on Sun Tzu.
Of course he’s wrong…when you misquote him. Of course he makes little sense when you have no military inclination. That applies to all writings about nearly every vocation.
Anybody who has been anything other than an armchair strategist will recognise the value and truth in his scribblings.
The challenge is turning his valuable, but timeless, advice into modern, practical actions. The Italians couldn’t do it, not because Sun Tzu was wrong, but because they’d rather fuck than fight.
Good movie Anchor. I don’t think the majority of the food processing plants misfortunes were accidental at all. I’ve never been a conspiracy theorist but in recent years there are just too many things happening. Nothing to do with tunnels, lizard people or chemtrails.

Durham shocker: Danchenko was a paid FBI informant
Techno Fog
Today, Special Counsel John Durham moved to unseal this motion in limine in the false statements case against Igor Danchenko.
This motion provides new information on the details of Danchenko’s lies to the FBI, further information on how Special Counsel Mueller ignored Danchenko’s false statements, expected testimony from Clinton-connected executive Charles Dolan, and one crazy development.
But we’ll start with the the most damning development: Danchenko was on the FBI payroll as a confidential human source (CHS) from March 2017 through October 2020.
The purposes of making Danchenko a CHS should be quite clear. The Crossfire Hurricane investigation was plagued with problems from the outset. The reasons for opening the investigation were bunk.
Those problems continued as the investigation went on, with claims of Trump/Russia collusion proven unverified or outright false. (Thus the targeting of Flynn for a Logan Act violation.)
Those problems continued with the Carter Page FISA applications, first submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in October 2016, and which relied substantially on the Steele Dossiers (aka Steele Reports). The FISA applications were renewed three times – more on that later. Each application had its own problems, from FBI lawyers lying about Carter Page to the Court being generally misled.
Realizing its own misconduct, the FBI made Danchenko a paid CHS in March 2017 – just before the third FISA warrant was submitted in April 2017. This would allow Comey’s FBI to work directly with Danchenko in support of its counter-intelligence investigation against President Trump.
Danchenko being a CHS also served another purpose: it protected the Bureau and the Mueller Special Counsel from revealing their “sources and methods.” How do you hide misconduct? Bury the witness.
(Read again Inspector General Horowitz’s report concerning the Carter Page FISA warrants. Even Horowitz didn’t know that Danchenko was a CHS.)
Context helps – here’s a brief timeline of the Danchenko interviews and other important events:
Then there are Danchenko’s false statements about Charles Dolan, an influential Democrat executive with ties to the Clintons. Interestingly, it was Dolan who was given a tour of the Ritz-Carlton Presidential Suite, which was the supposed location of “Trump’s alleged lurid sexual activities.”
What is Durham’s theory on Danchenko’s motive for lying about the Ritz-Carlton allegations? Because it reflects “a deliberate effort to conceal from the FBI Charles Dolan’s role as a source for the Steele Reports and to deceive the FBI regarding Millian’s role (or lack thereof).”
Defeat is inevitable for those who take a roughie in a box trifecta.

Zelensky Says Ukraine Has Retaken 6,000 Square KM, But Army “Worried” About Defending It
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his forces have reclaimed 6,000 square kilometers of occupied territory from Russia since starting a major counteroffensive last month. Western media is presenting events near Kharkiv as an absolute rout of Russian forces, with other sources cautioning there’s little that can be verified, also amid the question of whether regained territory can actually be held and permanently controlled by Ukraine.
Ukraine’s defense minister Oleksii Reznikov himself admitted in a Monday Financial Times report that a prime worry remains the ability to hold on to the territory amid superior Russian munitions and supplies. “A counter-offensive liberates territory and after that you have to control it and be ready to defend it,” he said, with the caveat: “Of course, we have to be worried, this war has worried us for years.”

‘CAN’T MAKE THIS UP’
White House claims prices ‘essentially flat,’ throws ‘inflation reduction’ party as annual rate hovers at 8.3%
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted Tuesday both that inflation was “essentially flat” and that it was OK for President Biden to host a large celebration of his Inflation Reduction Act — even though annual inflation remains elevated at 8.3%.
“Overall, prices have been essentially flat in our country these last two months. That is welcome news for American families with more work still to do,” Jean-Pierre said at her regular briefing, moments ahead of the large South Lawn bash.
Republicans, however, attacked Biden as “out of touch” for hosting a celebration for the environmental and healthcare spending bill — noting that inflation remains at its highest level since the early 1980s.
“You can’t make it up: Hours after this terrible inflation report, the White House is hosting an ‘inflation reduction’ celebration,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) tweeted. “Democrats have spent our economy into disaster and now they’re partying while families pay. They could not look more out of touch if they tried.”
August data showed a continued demand-driven decline in the cost of gasoline. But cheaper gas was offset by steep 12-month jumps in the cost of food (up 13.5%), electricity (15.8%), rent (6.8%) and health insurance (24.3%).
Biden’s staff repeatedly plugged the South Lawn festivities Tuesday in tweets from his account.
Monty, being a lefty, you have no idea how the real world works, but your presence here is useful to untangle our ruling class’s daily talking points.
For your education, Lindsay Graham is a lying, two-timing RINO snake you wouldn’t trust with anything, least of all your life.
It’s not my fault you don’t tune in to Tucker Carlson Tonight (Tues-Sat 10am, Foxtel channel 608) to find out how the US (and the world) really works.
That is funny.

Once Gold Standard Agencies Now Like ‘Horror Movie’ as Crony Capitalism Profiteered during Pandemic
The disaster that has been the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) continues to unfold with fallout on all fronts and serious ramifications for the trio’s credibility moving forward. From the CDC acknowledging its bungled much of the pandemic response to high-profile departures in the FDA—due to a series of questionable high-profile decisions, such as authorizing the COVID-19 vaccines for babies as young as 6 months old—to proactive wars on doctors who prescribe generic repurposed drugs for COVID-19 and clear industry capture in at least parts of the NIH, TrialSite News has chronicled wild crony capitalism run amok, including regulatory capture throughout the pandemic at high levels of the U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) as well as even the White House. Early on, few in the media, health care sector or government responded to TrialSite News articles chronicling these problems, but the desire to reform these badly hurt, one-time Gold Standard agencies, picks up momentum. Soon the pressure will build for serious reform.

NYC pols push for e-bike battery regulation after string of deadly fires
Following a rash of deadly fires caused by faulty e-bike scooter batteries, a City Councilman plans to introduce a new bill prohibiting the sale of non-certified batteries.
Democrat Oswald Feliz’s district is among several that have seen fires break out as a result of faulty e-bike batteries. Several fires have turned fatal — including an Aug. 1 blaze that trapped a 2-year-old and her mother inside their apartment.
E-bike related fires have killed nine people and injured 164 others in the last two years, according to FDNY — compared to zero deaths the previous two years.
To combat the issue, Feliz’s bill, which has yet to be introduced, would bar the sale of e-bikes that don’t have batteries certified by a “nationally recognized testing lab” and would also ban the sale of bikes with refurbished batteries.
It comes as an alternative to a city proposal to ban the vehicles from being stored in public housing.
Graham has given a lovely present to the Democrats for the midterms, as they can now point to his bill and rightfully accuse the Republicans of setting up to pass it once they have the numbers. Thanks Lindz!
Couple that with shutting down of much industry in Europe(Spanish tile makers, alumina smelters etc) due to fuel prices…

Ethically Unjustifiable
By Cory Bernardi – 14 Sep 2022 – View online ?
Hi David,
After two years of pushing unscientific health propaganda, research scientists are now publicly disclosing the truth about the COVID-19 vaccines.
What they are revealing is an indictment on our medical, media and political fraternity.
Rather than ‘safe and effective’ as they tried to brainwash people into believing, these experimental mRNA jabs are a non-cure worse than the actual disease.
The data is damning and a recent study concludes that booster mandates actually do more harm than good.
Nine scientists from top research universities including Harvard and Johns Hopkins, found that for every hospitalisation prevented by boosters, multiple adverse events occurred.
“Using CDC and sponsor-reported adverse event data, we find that booster mandates may cause a net expected harm: per COVID-19 hospitalisation prevented in previously uninfected young adults, we anticipate 18 to 98 serious adverse events.”
The study went on to identify that University booster mandates are unethical, detailing five key rationales.
no formal risk-benefit assessment exists for this age group;
vaccine mandates may result in a net expected harm to individual young people
mandates are not proportionate: expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits given the modest and transient effectiveness of vaccines against transmission;
US mandates violate the reciprocity principle because rare serious vaccine-related harms will not be reliably compensated due to gaps in current vaccine injury schemes; and
mandates create wider social harms.
You can download the study through the link below.

A Risk-Benefit Assessment and Five Ethical Arguments against Mandates

While tackling the ethical concerns surrounding these vaccines, the researchers also found “a profound lack of transparency in scientific and regulatory policy making.”
This ties in with our pre-vaccine release expose of the ethical failure of clinicians to disclose the risk of Antibody Dependency Enhancement (ADE) from mRNA treatments.
Aside from the compelling medical data, one of the most interesting aspects of this report is the discussion surrounding the importance of proportionality in public policy.
Proportionality is a key principle in public health ethics. To be proportionate, a policy must be expected to produce public health benefits that outweigh relevant harms, including harms related to coercion, undue pressure, and other forms of liberty restriction.
To me, this overreach is just as dangerous as the physical damage done by these medical experiments.
The pandemic allowed a new liberty limiting precedent to be set by government. It was justified by their quest to ‘flatten the curve.’
Like so much else attached to this time, it was an absurd proposition and whatever their original optimism, it didn’t take long for anyone looking to see the futility of this policy approach.
However, rather than backdown in the face of failure, governments (and their allies) doubled-down with increasingly outrageous rhetoric to keep the public scared and compliant.
Even now, the authorities are still pushing booster jabs through public funded media campaigns. They are even promoting needles for young children despite them having next to no risk from this flu like illness.
It’s simply appalling.
While many will now claim it is time to move on, I certainly don’t advocate putting this stain on our freedoms behind us.
We need more exposure of the dreadful calumny that was imposed upon the people by the triumvirate of our institutions.
Only then is there any possibility, albeit a minuscule one, of those behind it actually being held to account.
Have a great day.
Cory

Three California hospitals being SUED for administering “remdesivir protocol” to patients without informed consent, resulting in DEATH
Like the federal Education Act 2010. But, like the Education Act, it will serve as the law that underpins massive spending.
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced legislation Tuesday that would ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger.
At the press conference, Graham said that “it is left up to the elected officials in America to define the issue.”
“States have the ability to do it at the state level, and we have the ability in Washington to speak on this issue if we choose. I have chosen to speak,” he said.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a statement condemning the bill on Tuesday.
“Today, Senator Graham introduced a national ban on abortion which would strip away women’s rights in all 50 states,” Jean-Pierre said. “This bill is wildly out of step with what Americans believe.”
The ban is unlikely to advance, with a Democrat-controlled Congress and the White House held by President Joe Biden, who is on record as one of the most pro-abortion presidents in history.
Oh god monty. Please stop.
As a parent, does this make you a performative femm-person?
You are like an prodigal addict at the chum bucket of far left newspeak idiocy.
Please get clean.
Are all German rocket scientists performative Nazis?
Now if you know how the narrative of Margaret Atwood’s rape fantasy goes, does that mean Offred and Atwood are performative rapists?
The new Nuremberg Defence:
Herr Speer, how do you plead?
Not guilty, as a procedural Nazi, not a substantive Nazi.
Indolent.
“Being sued” means precisely nothing in California.
As far as litigation goes, it is a state chock full of Fat Cloives.
Get back to us when it has exhausted all appeals.
Monty, the word you’re looking for is “wedge”.
Lindsay Graham is not a Republican, but a Republican In Name Only (as I just explained to you).
I expect his new show on CNN will be announced shortly as he becomes the left’s latest useful idiot. He will do whatever it takes to ensure the Dems don’t lose control of the White House or the federal government.

DHS Chief Says Biggest Terror Threat Is Americans Radicalized By “Online Narratives”
Do I believe Tucker Carlson, known in the past for wearing a bowtie in media appearances before he was given Bill O’Reilly’s slot on Fox, is as much of a fascist as he appears in his show? No.
Like all Fox blowhards, he got the kill shot despite railing against it night after night.
If he was ever sued, he would fall on the Alex Jones defence: he didn’t mean all those things he said, it was just a performance for entertainment value.

The Republican base is cheering him along. On this issue, at least, he is fully Republican. It’s the squishy Senators who are muttering out of the side of their mouths “not now Lindsay, wait until after the midterms when we have more flexibility” who are out of step with GOP voters.
Nothing we haven’t heard already, but at least it’s a news report of some sort.
