    In case it is important to clarify: I’m not a political agenda type of person with party lines that tell me what to think.

    I don’t think most of the people participating in this thread look to a political party for talking points.  I’m not even registered with a party.

    A former spokesperson for the Oath Keepers militia group is set to testify at tomorrow’s Jan. 6 committee hearing. Jason Van Tatenhove, a Colorado resident and former tattoo shop owner, is scheduled to appear to detail his work as a national media director for the Oath Keepers in 2015 and 2016 and what he says was the group’s radicalization during that period. His testimony is expected to focus on the role that the organization and other extremists played in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Dan Friedman reports for Mother Jones.

    If the answer involves you quoting Mother Jones, then it must have been one hell of a question! Cant' wait to see what's next.

    I will give Wildman some credit, he's right when he says this has been a "one side circus"

    Useful to be reminded on occasion how for those who felt politically and socially impotent, Trump was basically a human boner pill.

    @dmchicago - are you implying that a former highly placed government employee may soon be sporting government provided clothing to match his hair color for the next 20 years?

    Sad to say that I really don’t expect anyone whose last name is “Trump” to pay any kind of a price for any of this.  They have him dead to rights six ways to Sunday, but my expectations of justice are very low.  It’s depressing.

    No I’m implying that there are so many people about to go through some things you could literally fill in the blank. And this would include Agent Orange

    How sweet it is...But for the Justice Department to bring any charges against Cheeto going in they have to feel confident it is a "head shot." You get one round and you cannot miss.
    To date I am not there with taking the shot.  Of course the DOJ has much more material but if you intend to sell this to the public you need more.  Hopefully the next public hearing delivers the goods.  
    However, it is extremely gratifying to see Cheeto and his flunkies squirm.

    Thanks to lawyers, OJ got off.  The clowns that Trump hires and surrounds himself with are a big reason he did what he did.

    Regarding the phone call deal- during the run-up to the 2020 election, I received calls that on my caller ID came across as Donald J Trump.  I did not answer but the VM was a request for $$.
    Associated but marginally related, within a week of each call I would get a letter addressed from Melania Trump.  Since the letter never passed the perfume test, I never opened one.  
    Hopefully the above has weight.

    Two things that stunned me, this afternoon.
     
    I had kind've assumed that traitor's immediate henchmen (giuliani, stone, manafort, flynn, bannon, powell, etc) were the ones communicating directly with the white supremacists, but it was traitor's tweets, directly to them, and their direct, racist responses, that I just was not aware of two years ago.  Damn.  
     
    The second thing.  I also did not realize how intensely the right-wing media were stoking the insurrection (I only sample these sites on occasion).  
     

     
    If these things go unanswered before this year's elections, I'm not confident about our democracy's survival.  The DoJ needs to grow a pair, and take action, between now and November.  Please, Mr. Garland; the republicans paid off by the ultra-wealthy (mcmcmcconnell) led to you being burned.  Please assist your nation, and take a huge personal satisfaction, by taking these traitors out.  Please.

    The trumps should all be enslaved at some defunct penitentiary in upstate New York, using single edge razor blades to scrape the crusty old toilets clean. I'd pay good money to see that.

    Is it just me or is this starting to sound like a movie plot?
