Isn’t that the second convict this week who said almost the same things?

Yeah, it's Trump's fault. The party of personal responsibility.

With the hard right using “conservative” to mean right-fascist, here is another instance confirming that right-fascism is inherently racist and sexist. Genderist, if that’s a word.

Her pro bono lawyer and she will destroy those republicans attacking her live on TV, good luck with that. Will they follow Donald's orders and try to please him after he is convicted, in prison? Who knows, when Jack has Trump's scalp on his belt, he might go for Trump's minions and cronies and then go after these assholes in congress when they start squealing.

Jordan seeks answers from former Treasury official over flagged ‘MAGA’ transactions
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is requesting a transcribed interview with a former Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) official for allegedly flagging consumer transactions that had the phrases…
thehill.com
the Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government
looks like HUAC is back with us
“In other words, FinCEN urged large financial institutions to comb through the private transactions of their customers for suspicious charges on the basis of protected political and religious expression,” he said in the letter.
I hope I live to see a Supreme Court that undoes the corrupt and corrosive idea that money is speech.
Also — why is there no Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Supreme Court?

Sounds a lot like blurring the faces of the insurrectionists before releasing the tapes. Aid and comfort methinks, I see MTG is being sued to keep her off the ballot and the judge allowed it.Jordan seeks answers from former Treasury official over flagged ‘MAGA’ transactions

If the SCOTUS finds that Trump is an insurrectionist and an attempted insurrection happened, does that put others like members of congress at risk of disqualification too for aid and comfort at least?

One important point, a state has disqualified Trump and declared him an insurrectionist backed up by a mountain of evidence. The constitution clearly states that congress can only restore Trump to ballot, it is theoretically beyond the purview of the courts. They would have to rule that Trump was not an insurrectionist and it wasn't an insurrection and try to find a technicality that flies in the face of what the public saw on TV in real time and the factual findings of the courts. Just say'n

One other point, if they don't disqualify Trump, they had better have a watertight opinion because the democrats in congress might want some answers.

and this is why they (edit: probably) won’t. One of the justices happens to be married to a documented insurrectionist.

It is an interesting dilemma for some of them and declaring it was an insurrection and him an insurrectionist means lots of republican gave aid and comfort on camera. Not enough to convict them, but maybe enough to kick them out of congress. Why it would be like an enema for the American body politic and clean out a lot of shit!

Best lines in the article:It always reduces to race.
The ‘American Whitelash’ Is Far From Over
Journalist Wesley Lowery explores the continuing history of white violence in his new book, "American Whitelash."
Answer to the question about
"the slight increase in Black support for the GOP in the last several years, especially from Black men? How does that figure into racial divisions?"
"The increase in Black support of the GOP is insignificant, especially compared to the number of Black people who don’t support. You could have five black people supporting Trump, and it’s a 100 percent increase — but it’s totally insignificant. Two in 10 people think we faked the moon landing (in 1969), which is significant. But we don’t pay attention to that."
Comparing the claim that GOP is gaining support among Black people to the strange faction of people who believe the moon landings were fake. "Insignificant" and "But we don't pay any attention to that". Priceless.
