Yup. I wish he didn’t flop so much though. He is great but I don’t like to root for him.

Trump:  “It’s called a dump.  There were massive dumps”

that’s my boy!

AnothaStolenGenrator

I hope some of you people who are convinced the 2020 election was stolen are watching some of the hearings, or at least reading about them.  Because today they have person after person who worked inside the Trump White House or on his campaign testifying that all the election fraud claims were BS.  These aren’t Democrats, they’re Republicans, and many of them were die-hard Trump people.  Many of them helped perpetuate the lies, but when they’re called under oath, the truth comes out.

Trump’s org is a peach tree dish of lies.

Bump to test if this thread is nuked.

There is a democrat lady here running for governor that wants to send “inflation relief rebates“ to every Ohioan.  Hmmm.

Since it is still alive: Edit:  (thanks @Canugghead)
"In the meantime, buckle in for what will likely be a tumultuous week centered on more hearings from the January 6 committee.

The first hearing, last week, began to lay out the case not only that January 6 was an attempted coup against the United States and its Constitution but that senior figures in Washington knew that it was coming. They knew that Donald Trump’s arguments of a falsified election were nonsense—“****,” according to former Attorney General William Barr—and yet they stood by while Trump encouraged a mob to march on the Capitol anyway.

We’ll likely see more such evidence this week, but even over the weekend, the hits kept coming: We learned that Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was deeply involved in the attempt to get the election overturned and that Vice President Mike Pence issued ordersto the military while under siege.

These are both problems. And they would be serious scandals if America were still a country capable of being scandalized.

In an earlier time, Ginni Thomas’s behavior might have been enough for a justice to step down. Justice Thomas apparently couldn’t care less; he won’t even bother to recuse himself from election-related Court decisions. Meanwhile, we now know that the vice president of the United States was in hiding, calling for troops to come to his aid, while crowds howled about hanging him—and the commander in chief himself sat in the White House saying, in effect, that maybe Pence deserved to be strung up.

By the way, **** Cheney did something similar to Pence when Cheney began issuing orders during 9/11. Cheney had no formal authority to do so, either, but he could at least argue that he was acting with the president’s knowledge in order to assist in the defense of the United States against a foreign enemy. Pence was trying to save his own life—and the life of the speaker, the majority leader, and other senior officials—from a crowd sent by the president himself.

This is all infuriating and even terrifying, but the question that worries me most is whether any of it will matter.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m glad the January 6 committee is pursuing this investigation and naming names. I want the institutions of American democracy to fight back against the seditionists and others who have failed their duty to the Constitution. It’s good at least to see the former Fox News politics editor Chris Stirewalt tell the House on live television, as he did this morning, that the winner of the 2020 presidential election was “Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. of the great state of Delaware.”

But I wonder if the committee is going to overcome the stubborn denialism of millions of my fellow citizens and the stupefying indifference of millions more.

Americans are being faced with the undeniable evidence that senior members of the United States government either plotted or abetted a coup. They have been told that the military chain of command was in chaos for hours. This is far beyond Watergate or Iran-Contra; this is an attack on more than two centuries of constitutional government."

Don't know how I missed it earlier this evening.  All's well that ends well here...

I had a conversation with a very religious co-worker one day in which he said "you know, the earth is really only a couple of thousand years old." I replied, "we can't even have a conversation if you actually believe that. We have no basis to even begin a dialogue."

If you can't even begin to accept some basic premise that what occurred in the months and weeks leading up to January 6th was so wrong, we have no basis for a conversation.

I'm as middle of the road politically as they come. I spent 24 years as a member of the U.S. military. The part of the oath I took that says "all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC" could not be more relevant to the events of January 6th. 

Deflect all you want, but what occurred in the months and weeks leading up to January 6th is the topic at hand. 

probably dont believe in flat earth theory but heres the proof

How sweet it is!  Cheeto has pushed Watergate a full order of magnitude (or more) down.  Nixon has got to be smiling.  It is sad that daneg near 50 years later we had a much more severe challenge to the US Constitution.

Sadly, again, the Cult who needs to hear/understand this, won't.  

paqman

The cult is destroying your country, and the world as we know it.  Unfortunately, I think that the tipping point has been reached and it will hard, if not impossible, to restore order without drastic actions, which I don’t think your government is willing to take, that would profoundly change your country.  All this was probably fuelled by foreign influences that are fighting a silent war and they are winning.

I think that you nailed it but not the way you think.  The problem here are the lies (aka alternate facts) being presented by some news channels and people with authority as truth without actually being factual.  America’s greatest strength, liberty of expression, has been weaponized by foreign powers.  Those foreign powers now have an army of what we call useful idiots doing all the hard work for them.

  Its not a foreign power my friend. It is money.  The more of that crap you watch the more advertising they sell the more money they make, "facts" don't really play into it.

What worries me is GWN could be next, the Ottawa truck convoy was just a preview.
