To me, this one hits the hardest. These are precious words:

“Trump’s campaign manager, felon. Trump’s deputy campaign manager, felon. Trump’s foreign policy advisor, felon. Trump’s lawyer. Trump’s political advisor, felon. Trump’s fundraiser, felon. it is not the fault of the Department of Justice that Donald Trump surrounded himself with criminals.”

According to the Constitution the DOJ will indict law breakers. They, being law breakers, do not want Democracy to win. If they win they will look to harm Democracy lovers for whom crime is not a way of life.

He gathered the worst republicans to be in his cabinet, real shady guys who were so awful they were pushed out of power by "W"'s lot. The slime of the swamp. I'm just surprised he didn't hire Gingrich who was trying to get his nose back in the public trough like the swine he is . He did appoint his helmet-haired harpy of a wife to be the ambassador to the Vatican. Pope Francis looked miserable in having his picture taken, with one of the ghouls who was photographed smiling at Auschwitz.

And not one teensy bit of empathy for the victims of the guns. 500 guns! Guns kill people. Guns turn human flesh into unrecognizable goo. If someone turned a gun on Spartz and blew a hole in her knee before holding the gun to her skull maybe all the Hollywood glamorous violence would suddenly slip away and that stupid, insensitive bitch would have some humility and appreciate why millions of Americans want gun control.

I keep thinking about that whenever a MAGAt brings up the name of the GA woman who was killed by a suspected undocumented immigrant. So one person is killed by an undocumented immigrant and we should expel EVERY SINGLE ONE, and yet they whistle past the graveyard when the topic of the thousands of people killed by our unfettered access to and obsession with guns.

I can't help thinking that if Garland had gone after Trump and the J6 conspiracy traitors full throttle when the GOP Senate refused to convict, instead of wasting YEARS on hand wringing and going after foot soldiers, we wouldn't be dealing with this nightmare now, staring down the barrel of another election that the GOP is doing its best to subvert and rig.

He held himself well yesterday, but he bears part of the responsibility for how this has gotten so out of control, with timid prosecutions and far too much deference and preferential treatment towards tRump and his capos.

Susan Burgess's avatar

I don’t know how to say this but I’ll go one word at a time.

All this stalling by the judiciary and all this time wasting and ‘lookie here’ by the House gets me to thinking that it’s not to defend Trump at all, nor is it really to get even. It’s to give them time to arm and organize themselves because they know they won’t win the election. They most likely intend to say it was stolen again while influencing the vote in several effective ways. Mail, intimidation at voting places, gerrymandering, even tampering with voting machines or trading them out for their own machines.

This stalling and red herring hearings is a strategy. I can’t help but conclude it’s a well planned takeover in the offing.

So many MAGA believe the 2020 election was stolen and believe they are defending their beloved country even if it means arming themselves. So of course the strategists will use that.

Something to consider.
