The 1/6 Committee Hearings

Definitely signs from both side of the aisle.  So, we're in what year 7 of "We're going to convict Trump any day now!"?

The problem isn't the goal, the problem is the parties trying to accomplish the goal.  There's never been a  more obviously guilty criminal that has been left to their own devices.

I, for one, think the Executive should either prosecute Trump or pardon him.

Its more likely Trump is elected president in 2024 than he is convicted of anything 


I thought we were talking about right and wrong.


I do get a chuckle out of the thought of Trump getting physical with those tiny little hands.

What a bunch of nonsense.  Show trials are just another sign we're hurtling towards 3rd world status.

Wow. I used to give you the benefit of the doubt. No more.

yeah, it's the "show trial" that's the indicator, not a political party that's turned into whatever the Republicans have turned into. 


I don't think I posted this yet - seems appropriate for this thread:

I have my suspicions about Trumpenstein getting physical with his Secret Service. Perhaps, it's another "story" meant to calm down his base who are pissed because he didn't come to the Capitol with them. This way, it looks as if he actually tried…

not if DeSantis throws his hat in the ring. Trumpenstein is history buddy. Get over it already.

Hmmm, while I agree with the latter sentiment, there have been occasions where he has displayed a worldview that at last should be listened to, if not respected.

Some of us are capable of that.

who terp? I dunno. He made more sense years ago, but ever since he became Trump-adjacent his credibility has waned. And forget about covid.

I can agree with this.

You believe that story?

What was I wrong about with COVID?  Always question authority.  And if there was ever a time to question authority it was during COVID.  


What story, Terp?

Spell out for me what you take issue with.

you went w-a-a-a-a-y beyond questioning authority.

The story I replied to where Trump went to grab the steering wheel.

You’re (sp edit) supposed to be reading. ;-)

The fact that you think Fauci is evil, for one.

I do believe it. She seemed earnest, was under oath, and had no reason that I’m aware of to lie. 

I understand that the Secret Service is going to release a statement. I guess we’ll see.


terp, I don't want to rehash covid. Why do you think the 1/6 committee is a show trial? Forget the riot at the capitol - you don't think the behind the scenes activities by Trump and his various lawyers and aides are of concern? His attempts - like in Georgia - to "find" votes for him? The staging of bogus electors?

It is clear he tried to prevent discussion on the lab leak.  He is also clearly an egomaniac and a corrupt narcissist.  These are many of the same things people take issue with Trump.

This is a guy who said that questioning.Dr Fauci is questioning science.  Questioning Dr Fauci is questioning truth.  He also said that the vaccinated were dead ends for the virus.

A lot of unnecessary pain and anguish was inflicted on the American public in this guy's name.

like I said.

Fauci is actually a great man. Likening him to Trump in any way is absurd.

Here's the thing.  The Secret Service is saying that it didn't happen.  The reason they're saying this is because it didn't happen. It doesn't even pass the smell test for the love of Christ.  But sure, I'm the problem.  The rubes who will believe any obvious nonsense that fits into ok their preconceived infantile understanding of the world who actually vote are just fine

I await the statement from the Secret Service.

 Sorry to interrupt. Go worship your corrupt bureaucrat.

If it makes you feel better, even after the Secret Service says it never happened I'm sure the fact checkers will still say the story is "mostly true".  

As a coincidence, I'm listening to a podcast by the great Martyrmade about Jeffrey Epstein.  Vanity Fair wouldn't run a story on Epstein years ago because the reporter couldn't get 3 people to corroborate some of the facts.  But here we have congressional testimony from a witness providing a 2nd hand account.  It's all above board I'm sure.

She did it under oath. She'll be subject to perjury if it's shown she lied. Unlikely she made it up.

But all of a sudden you'll believe the Secret Service?

Now that's funny.
