you really think they've waited since nixon and along came trump and they said 'this is the guy we want ?". i think moreso they realized that their base is dying off and young americans aren't aligned with their values and they have to do anything to stay relevant.

i'm not so sure either but maybe you are right? i just don't think they really want a dictatorship or fascism though.

take the money out of politics and let's get R's and D's that actually wnat to help their constituents would be a good place to start IMO>
How do you get the Mercers and the Koch’s out of politics
It’s beyond nuts when hedgefunders are all in to actually run themselves with absolute unlimited funds
I have been waiting for the GOP
to prove we are not a racist country but they albeit fewer numbers have doubled down on it

Catching up a few pages, complaints over the past while of Biden splitting America appart rather than bringing it together by the conservative news. Two things to take from this. One is not that they want to move toward the middle but Biden should move toward the right (and will never be right enough so we will never accept a compromise). Also the complaint of splitting the country apart is not a true one. It is more that the Trump supporters are being split apart by the 1/6 commission. The ones that have more to gain in keeping with the Trump rhetoric (give so we save democracy) and on the other side the ones that can not afford the lawyers to lie their way through the commission.

The Two Faces of Kevin McCarthy: Why He Must be Subpoenaed to Testify About Trump's Conduct on 1/6

Just days after the 1/6 insurrection, Rep. Kevin McCarthy stated unequivocally that Donald Trump bears responsibility for the attack on Congress. But after a trip to Mar-a-Lago and (undoubtedly) some arm- twisting by Donald Trump, McCarthy makes contradictory statements.

Given the claims in his second statement about what Trump said about the insurrection, Kevin McCarthy must testify to the House select committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol. Here's why . . .

"Green Bay sweep?" If we're using foot ball anologies, how about "Flooding the Zone" with about 50 subpeonas to everyone who was involved with supporting the sedetion party Lumpy promoted on 1/6? On Monday!
It's time Demo's quit fucking about and start calling the dickhead in to testify or plead the 5th! Then refer all of the 5th pleaders to the DoJ for criminal procecution!

Thank you, I didn't see that earlier.

It is crazy to see them helping so many hurt cops in that tunnel in the first 7 minutes. @40:20 the first domestic terrorists start to push up into that balcony. @42 minutes the 'hugs and kisses' commence.

This one jumped out at me at about 50 minutes. Seemed really interested in keeping her(?) hair hidden.

I am sure that I am just seeing things, but I can't not see this being domestic terrorist's face in these pics from the 3 hour long security cam video.

It's unclear whether the suspect, 22-year-old Garrett James Smith, supported or opposed the rally, which was held outside the Pinellas County Jail on behalf of Oath Keepers member Jeremy Brown of Tampa, who is held there on charges stemming from the insurrection.

Smith, whose birthday coincidentally falls on Jan. 6, was spotted running away from the rally wearing all black and a face covering, according to reports.

After detaining Smith for loitering, deputies searched his backpack and found a homemade pipe bomb, as well as a piece of paper titled "direct action checklist." The checklist included things like clothing, armor and gear — such as a helmet, goggles, a gas mask, duct tape and flammable rags, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Also in Smith's backpack, deputies found a helmet with an unspecified logo that had been seen at other protests in cities including Portland, where Smith had spent time. However, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said it was "too early to say with which group Smith may be affiliated," the Times reported.

At Smith's home in nearby Oldsmar, authorities found another pipe bomb, along with hand grenade-style explosives, nails and duct tape.

Smith is charged with three counts of making, possessing, and/or discharging a destructive device, and one count of loitering and prowling. He is being held on $300,000 bond.

"Smith was not cooperating with deputies, so they do not know if he was supportive or critical of the protesters at the courthouse," Fox 13 reported. "Gualtieri said deputies explained to the protesters that there had been a problem and asked the crowd to disperse early, which they did."

By a combination of factors this reckoning for this shit is driven into an election year, where it will do the most good and keep the story alive in public memory and the news cycles. The leaders of the conspiracies won't finally go down until 2023 or 2024. It won't matter with Trump, since he will likely be in a NY prison by this fall after a spring or summer trial. If he is convicted in NY, he will most likely be held in custody until sentencing, but I hope not! I hope he's out there during election season fucking over the republicans and freaking out about going to prison! :lol:

Hopefully the DoJ is countering with the Statue of Liberty and not the the fumblerooski.

Not arguing with the sentiment. But I'm pleased with what they are doing. The only thing that matters politically in the US this year are the elections in the fall. The drip, drip, drip of corrosive testimony, evidence, images and most importantly video footage of Republican leaders aiding in the takedown of our democracy will be background music all summer long. Democrats will win if voters are doing well and Republicans keep making own goals regarding women's rights and supporting Oath Keepers or their like.

Win that election and the DOJ will have all the time it needs to put together successful prosecutions for all that were involved. Lose that election and Republicans will shut down our government to protect themselves and their leader. The election is what matters.

i think trump defecting to russia would be actually do the most damage to the republicans and magats (i differentiate because i think a lot of magats aren't affiliated with either party, they just suck trumps dick)....
what will marginal trailer queen call democrats if it becomes clear her messiah has become a communist? i guess socialist is still available, but that may be cutting it a little close, since none of them know the difference between communism and socialism, they just say those words a lot because it makes their herd moo

The “marginal trailer queen” reference took me a minute, but :p:p I like that.
If he defected, his cult would just reframe the argument again and deflect. Something like:
“Oh no, you libtards have it all wrong. Russia isn’t communist anymore, it’s a perfect capitalist country now, but they have some corrupt billionaires exactly the same as the US. Just look at how Soros, Bill Gates and many other libtard billionaires are destroying the US. Biden is horrible and must be stopped to save America.”

His cult is so far down the rabbit hole at this point that the above doesn’t even sound ridiculous any more.

The January 6th committee have now confirmed they are investigating Trump for Obstruction and Conspiracy. Which means they got him.
I would not expect such an announcement unless they got him dead to rights. That is one of the joys of sober methodical people. They don’t say much, but when they do, it tends to be that way. Compare and contrast with the previous administration.
