I have nothing against gay people, you do you. I personally have never thrown anyone out, come out on your own. I just don't agree with every sexual issues that others are stating to be normal. Even trying to push Pedo's as a norm is BS. I see 2 gays making out in the street, its what they like to do. Why they do it, idk. but nothing against gays.

I'm going to write to Mr. Raskin and tell him the real reason- THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND..everyone thinks it's safe but I bet you there are some who believed our Capitol to be safe, too.I'm sure trying to avoid prosecution for his many crimes has something to do with it too, that and the fact he discovered what a great money making scam it was to fleece his suckers with.

Rep. Raskin (D-MD) explains what he believes is the reason for Trump’s “determination to stay in office at all costs.”
Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) explains what he believes is the reason for Donald Trump’s “determination to stay in office at all costs.” Trump has indicated that he intends to run for the presidency again in 2024. A focal point for his foreign profiteering was the Trump International Hotel...news.yahoo.com
The more democrats that are elected, the further to the left the country moves. First gain enough power to make changes, then level the playing field with HR1 and anti terrorist laws along with passing popular things with broad support while preparing for 2024. Dust off the independent special prosecutors law and appoint Frankenstein to go after those in the senate and congress who supported the insurrection and big lie. Congress has lot's to do and that is what they law was for, busting politicians, not just presidents, with public hearings and indictments, do to them, what they did to Clinton right up to 2024. With luck Trump will help you to keep the house and have a useful majority in the senate, FFS don't lock him up too soon, there are still plenty of GOP primaries for him to fuck up!
Donald is gonna be real desperate real soon and the republican base is all he has left, besides, it's his cash cow! If he's running around with his fake rallies running on the big lie and attacking republicans who don't, you might just have a chance. Donald might be a moron, but he's a moron who can make history!Magic 8-ball says check again- Texas is unofficially purple.
Donald's+ is that he has a $100M and pumps out donations like a queen bee's larvae.The more democrats that are elected, the further to the left the country moves.

No standing. Media Morons have nothing to talk about said 'we'll maybe he really did believe it' (even though boy who cried rigged for a year prior) so he's picked up on it- it was only a matter of time.Trump's legal team just used a line of defense that it's likely to make if he's criminally charged
Former President Donald Trump's legal team threatened to bring a defamation lawsuit against the cable network CNN, and the letter from his attorneys signals a strategy that is likely to be a central defense should he ever face criminal charges related to his role in attempts to cling to power despite losing his 2020 reelection bid.
- Donald Trump's lawyers released a 282-page document threatening to sue CNN.
- The lawyers say Trump "subjectively believes" he lost the 2020 election because of voter fraud.
- This could lay out Trump's legal strategy as investigations into him ramp up.
In the 282-page document, his lawyers said the television network repeatedly said Trump was "lying" and "fed a narrative that denounced President Trump's legitimacy and competency" following the presidential election.
The lawyers said CNN's portrayal of Trump was inaccurate because Trump "subjectively believes" there was election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
The lawyers' July 21 email to the television network offers a glimpse of how Trump's defense team might respond should the former president be criminally charged. Several investigations into him and his business practices are ongoing. The Justice Department and the Atlanta-area district attorney, Fani Willis, are examining allegations that Trump and his closest allies illegally tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Insider previously reported that Trump could have violated five federal and three Georgia state laws following the election including wire fraud, witness tampering, racketeering, and election interference.
One strategy available to Trump's lawyers would be to argue that he genuinely believed there was election fraud and didn't have the intent to commit a criminal act.
For instance, in the document, the lawyers use the definition of "lie" to argue Trump didn't do it with his election-fraud claims.
"Webster's Dictionary defines a 'lie' as an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker to be untrue with intent to deceive," they wrote. "The definition, then, is not limited to simply being wrong about an assertion; it instead requires the speaker to know he or she is speaking falsely and to specifically harbor an intent to mislead."
The Trump lawyers also argued that numerous claims after the election suggested there were problems with vote counting — assertions that would prove baseless and failed in courts when they were presented there at all.
"Substantial numbers of Americans shared President Trump's genuinely-held view that voter fraud affected the results of the 2020 election," the lawyers wrote.
Prosecutors would have a counter, however. Top Justice Department officials and state elections officials have testified to the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot that they told Trump directly that election-fraud claims were baseless or "bullshit" — assessments that would seek to undercut whether it would've been reasonable for Trump to believe in widespread fraud.
Legal experts previously told Insider the prosecutors could also try to paint the picture that Trump's actions were part of a bigger strategy to pressure Republican officials across the US to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump's legal team could also try to blame other people in Trump's inner circle for his actions around the 2020 elections, a blame-the-lawyer strategy that can be effective.

Donald Trump's legal team is laying out a possible legal strategy as investigations close in on his inner circle of advisors.
Trump only spends money to primary his enemies inside the GOP, he won't spend a dime on the general election He will try to steal all their small donor money that house candidates depend on though, with rallies and appeals to the base. He will spend money on rallies to make himself appear a candidate, but he's 2 years away from his party's nomination, with DeSantis breathing down his neck, the new anointed one. Dump Donald, or Dump Trump, both work well, rhyme and can fit on a sign.

there are some problems i mind less than others...if the DOJ is strapped because they're investigating SO many criminals, then they deserve more funding, but as Garland said, they'll get the job done with what they have, if that's all they get, and they'll know it's the obstructionist republicans making them work that much harder, so they'll feel that much more of a sense of accomplishment for every one of the crooked fuckers they lock up
Under oath?' McCarthy gave deposition? When? <shrug>McCarthy says he does not recall Jan. 6 Cassidy Hutchinson call on Trump going to Capitol
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said that he did not remember talking to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on Jan. 6, 2021, about the prospect of former President Trump going to the Capitol that day as Congress certified the 2020 Electoral College results.
“I don’t recall talking to her that day,” McCarthy said in a press conference Friday. He added that he did recall talking to former White House deputy chief of staff Dan Savino, and Trump’s son-in-law and former White House adviser Jared Kushner, as well as Trump himself, on Jan. 6 as the Capitol attack was underway and he and his staff were removed from his office.
“If I talked to her, I don’t remember it. If it was coming up here, I don’t think I wanted a lot of people coming up to the Capitol. But I don’t remember the conversation,” McCarthy said.
Hutchinson, who was an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified under oath in a House Jan. 6 select committee hearing last month that McCarthy angrily called her after Trump urged supporters to march to the Capitol in his speech at the Ellipse and that he would go with them.
“He then explained, ‘The president just said he’s marching to the Capitol. You told me this whole week you aren’t coming up here, why would you lie to me?’” Hutchinson recalled during the hearing.
McCarthy said in his press conference Friday that he did not remember being specifically concerned about Trump marching to the Capitol.
“I didn’t watch it, so this is what is so confusing,” McCarthy said about Trump’s speech at the Ellipse. “I didn’t watch the speech. I was working. So I didn’t see what was said, I didn’t see what went on, until after the fact.”
“I had no idea he would come to the Capitol. I had no idea that he was even going to come to the Capitol,” McCarthy said.

TBH and I really have to be, but I think he'll die first before we get our pound of flesh. I feel we are in for big disappointment. I hope I'm wrong because everyone involved needs to be accountable- for we will have it again.
