Florida MAGA Fan Arrested 'Kicking And Screaming' After Spray Painting 'Let's Go Brandon' Graffiti
John Sundholm
Jan. 12, 2022
A Florida supporter of former Republican President Donald Trump was arrested Friday after he spray-painted a Pinellas County house with several pieces of bigoted far-right, pro-Trump graffiti.
He was so incensed by his arrest he began "kicking and screaming" at law enforcement.
Among the defacements 32-year-old Geoffrey Pearson Holtman painted on the house and nearby vehicles were the word "Trump," a swastika, several racial slurs and the phrase "Let's Go Brandon"a right-wing catchphrase against Democratic President Joe Biden that stands for "F'k Joe Biden."
[snip]
Holtman did $5000 worth of damage to the woman's house, garage door and decor in her front yard, as well as to a car and an RV parked nearby, spraying racist and anti-semitic graffiti on both and shattering one of the car's windows.

Robert Reich: Why Manchin and Sinema Came out Against Voting Rights
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/robert-reich/100049/psst-you-really-want-to-know-why-manchin-and-sinema-came-out-against-voting-rightsPsst: You Really Want to Know Why Manchin and Sinema Came out Against Voting Rights?
by Robert Reich | January 21, 2022 - 7:40am
Ive suggested that the answer to all these questions could be found in the giant wads of corporate cash flowing into their campaign coffers. But as Ive watched the two senators closely and spoken about them with members of Congress as well as Hill staff, Ive come to the conclusion this isnt it or at least not all of it.
The corporate money explanation leaves out the single biggest factor affecting almost all national politicians Ive dealt with: Big egos. Manchins and Sinemas are now among the biggest.
Before February of last year, almost no one outside West Virginia had ever heard of Joe Manchin, and almost no one outside of Arizona (and probably few within the state) had ever heard of Kyrsten Sinema. Now, theyre notorious. Theyre Washington celebrities. Their photos grace every major news outlet in America.
This sort of attention is addictive. Once it seeps into the bloodstream, it becomes an all-consuming force. Ive known politicians who have become permanently and irrevocably intoxicated by it.
Im not talking simply about power, although thats certainly part of it. Im talking about narcissism the primal force driving so much of modern America, but whose essence is concentrated in certain places such as Wall Street, Hollywood, and the United States Senate.
