And with bad inflation and $5+ gallons of gas the democrats are going to get routed in November and probably during the next presidential election.  And we'll be back to trumpism except this time with the knowledge no consequences will come for anything.

Now I'm not sure how bad 10 years from now looks like. 

They'll elect Republicans and the economy will implode, gas won't go down, unemployment will increase, people will lose their homes, more civil/voting rights revoked, and the nation will continue burning/flooding, except with more civil war.

I can accept Trump was capable of acting out his part in all this, and I know where Eastman fits in, but I just don't see Trump being bright enough to put this plan together.  Bannon?  Flynn?    I mean we can go way back on this, because he's been using the same tactics for years.  Discrediting the media and even before 2016 he stated more than once how the only way he could lose an election would be because it was rigged.   

In his earlier life I would have figured Roy Cohn was the evil behind the throne, but I hope they know who it is now and will fully expose them.   

 

it was a group effort, or say, a party effort.

Yes, the former president and his supporters are a present danger to Democracy x a thousand.  Now, what will our elected reps do?

[jimmyjazz 45214]

"Donald Trump and his allies and supporters area a clear and present danger to American democracy."

 

Damn.  I don't care how measured Luttig is in his speech, he just hit the bullseye.  This is important stuff, maybe historically so.

[WhatTheBuck 28636]

You don’t speak at all, Luttig. Just fucking speak. You don’t have to speak in a monotone and insert long pauses arbitrarily into every sentence. I can’t even hear you. I can’t help but tune you out.

It drives me insane that morons are going to vote based on the price of gas, which Biden has no control over. Or inflation, which would've happened maybe to a slightly smaller degree if we'd had an economist from the future as president over the past 18 months. The DNC should be putting out ads explaining how basic shit works and what the POTUS can control.

Then all of us not in the GQP cult are patriots. Believing in and following the rule of law is not exceptional and we should not put capes on people like Luttig, Jacob, Barr, or Pence (all Republicans btw, and it's the Republicans who brought this shit upon us) when all they've really done is not followed Eastman and Trump into the fascism abyss.

Add Liz to that list. She's no hero but she does have teeth, which Dems severely lack, and she's got a hold of Trumps ass currently.  Problem will be when she goes back to biting Dems at some point.

thanks for the amazing contribution there. really put things into perspective for all of us 🙄

had you watched the hearing you would know it was said at least once that part of the problem was ALL THE FUCKING PEOPLE THAT DID FOLLOW EASTMAN AND TRUMP INTO THE ABYSS!!!! You may say people like Luttig or Jacob are insignificant but what I am hearing is that they are some of the few people that didn't fail the democracy test. Sorry, but that's significant. dismiss it if you want, but the committee isn't

That's an untimely tweet, I believe.  That was reported several weeks ago, and the Committee declined, which seemed inexplicable, but may be to blunt any allegation that they were serving a law enforcement purpose.

Edited June 16, 2022 by TwiceHorn

Yep, Pence was in save his own ass mode at that point.  He didn't trust Trump, the Secret Service or the rioters. There was no safe way for him to leave the building because of that.

I have no doubt that Cruz (or any other Trump sycophant) in the same position as Pence would have declared Trump the winner of the 2020 Election.

This.  I mean, it sucks that we have to even have this committee at all because of the Trumpist bullshit, but as it relates to all of these folks (many of whom were enablers up through election day) testifying against the obvious evil here.....

I didn't say they are insignificant, I said they should not be treated as special heroes FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.

Indeed it is.  They are laying out a very methodical case.  Trial lawyers at the DOJ are going to have four hour erections.

I listened to a little this morning on npr and the biggest takeaway I have is that he's a fat fuck loser, maybe the loserest loser whose ever lost. What a pathetic piece of human garbage.

Who the fuck is calling him a hero? All i've seen is a modicum of appreciation that he appears to have had a line he refused to cross that saved us from civil war. Same with Pence, he did the right thing in a particular moment in time and is still a repressed piece of fuck.

The other delicious thing is that if Trump is indicted, one of the best ways to defend himself (if he wasn't himself) would be to take the stand and explain.

But then we'd probably get our Col. Jessup moment, except stupider.  But you can't "settle" a criminal trial when Teh Donald sticks his dick in it.
