Terrorists break into US Capitol Building

[Parkbandit]

I don't think you understand the situation here for her.

First, part of why they moved the hearing up at the last minute is because they were concerned for her safety. The committee has been somewhat vague on this point, but the implication has been that people knew how much she knew. And it was bad enough that she has to have personal security. And in the hearing today, they had to clear the front rows for security reasons.

She's now opened herself up to dangerous harassment and death threats. Not just her but the people she loves. And if you had been watching the hearings at all, you would know some of the horrific things that have happened to people who have dared to speak the truth that counters his lies. Trump has a long history of putting targets on peoples' backs.

More than that- this woman's career is in Republican politics. She just destroyed that career. She's radioactive at this point, and no one is going to go near her. She's going to have to figure out something else to do with her life.

The fact that you think this was a good thing for her is absolutely insane. More to the point, you've just decided she's a liar because it's convenient for you to believe that. You don't even know what she said today.

Since you very obviously have avoided learning much- if anything- about these hearings.. the witnesses are mostly die hard Trump supporters and often members of his own administration. And there's every incentive for them to keep their mouths shut.

But some people care more about their democracy than a person who would knowingly try to overthrow the incoming government through numerous nefarious means including sending violent, armed mobs of white nationalists to attack Congress on the exact date and at the exact time when the election results were being formally certified.

You said not that long ago that you were waiting for evidence that Trump was the center of a big conspiracy. But you're doing everything in your power to avoid being exposed to that evidence. I

Didn't you fall for the Dr Blasey Ford bullshit... making this same exact argument?

Jesus. You're the type of woman who would stay with an chronic abuser, believing that was just a one off... for the hundredth time.

How many of the people she named in this episode of lets pretend to be unbiased will actually be called to defend against those accusations in future episodes of this sitcom?

[SHAFT]

Same thing Jussie Smollett stood to gain… The adoration & praise from woke SJW simps and MSNBC crowds (which includes yourself).

I’m looking forward to the mental gymnastics you’ll perform when someone sits under oath and verifies her statements.

[Seran]

Has any actual new evidence been presented that ties Trump to an actual crime? Nope. It’s political theater targeted to people like you & many others that get their jollies off hating on the bad orange man. Nobody else outside that target audience cares or believes that our democracy (it’s a constitutional republic but whatevs) is under attack.

Several counts. Obstruction of Congress, inciting a riot, elections tampering, and violations of the electoral college act. Currently they're working on tying in seditious conspiracy through testimony of the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys.

As much as I’d like to see trump go to prison for all of the above, I’ll be stunned in garland actually makes a move against him. Just don’t think garland has the spine to go after trump. Garland seems like the type that is fearful of looking too “political”.

We got him now, it's really big, headshot, he's going down. Russia, Russia, Russia! Meanwhile, we have a voice mail from Hunter's laptop implicating the sitting POTUS in a business deal with Hunter and a guy that headed up a Chinese company that was also head of Chinese intelligence. BTW, if they prosecute anyone for Obstruction of Congress, then I expect Hillary and all her crew to be in prison immediately.

Warning kids, Seran is what happens to your brain on Leftism.

It's not about having a spine. DoJ is in a lose/lose situation. Trump has very much indicated that he's thinking of running for President. Do we want to set a precedent that it's okay for sitting Presidents to use the Department of Justice to go after their political opponents? That's literally what Trump tried to do with Ukraine/Biden (only way worse since he was also blackmailing a foreign country into meddling in our election after the DoJ refused to do it for him). And it's a hallmark of autocracies.

And what happens if they do? Remember that armed militia of white nationalist extremists? What kind of violence might come out of indicting Trump?

On the flip side though, do we want to set a precedent where a President can do the worst possible things any President could do to their democracy and just get away with it?

This isn't about the presence or absence of a spine. These are weighty issues.

One interesting consequence of the January 6th hearings though is that in a lot of ways, they're forcing the DoJ's hand. The DoJ can't sit back and do nothing in light of the evidence coming out of the hearings. It's also making any moves they make look less political in the process. I don't think that's an accident. I think the DoJ was very much the primary audience in the January 6th committee's minds.

[Methais]

No you don't know that. But that's the point, right?

You don't want to know.

And watching the hearing would require you to actually deal with the information. So of course you're not going to.

They're words of a weak man

You've spent the past 6 years being wrong, stupid, gullible, and full of shit. I highly doubt you're pulling your head out of your ass and turning over a new leaf this week.

Watch closely as nothing ends up happening other than your continued chronic butthurt.

[Methais]

Why do you Democrats still insist on being played like this? It boggles the mind.

They can't help it. It's a side effect of mental illness + hopium addiction, and the MSM along with retards like Pelosi and Schiff are their plug.

And never forget... contesting an election is an attempt to overthrow it!

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/o...ral-votes.html

"Democrats Have Been Shameless About Your Presidential Vote Too"

"After the 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections, they objected to counting electoral totals."

So apparently.. the Democrats have tried 3 times now (unsuccessfully) to overthrow a duly elected President and committed an "insurrection"...

I guess all of them should be put in jail.

You're allowed to contest elections. No one is calling that corrupt. Filing 60 court cases with no evidence as part of a strategy to create confusion and undermine faith in the election system really isn't okay. But it is within a campaign's rights.


What Trump did and has been doing goes far beyond contesting an election. His campaign was setting up fake slates of electors and having them submit paperwork claiming they were real. Some of them even showed up to try to vote. That's blatantly illegal, and that's not contesting an election- that's trying to overthrow it.

Mounting pressure campaigns to get state Legislatures to convene and try to overthrow the results of their own elections by sending out slates of fake electors who weren't chosen by the people isn't "contesting" an election. It's overriding the will of the people.

Calling election officials and demanding that they "find" the exact number of votes you need to win isn't "contesting" an election. It's corruption.

Pressuring the Vice President to just decide not to count certain electoral votes despite being told repeatedly that it's both illegal and unconstitutional isn't "contesting" an election. That's called overthrowing democracy.

And finally, gathering armed right wing, white nationalist extremists, stoking their anger, and sending them out to attack the US Capitol at the exact date and time that the election results were being certified is NOT "contesting" an election. It's a fucking armed insurrection.

So just stop. Seriously- just stop. What the fuck are you even doing right now? Have you taken 5 fucking minutes to ask yourself what happens if we make this the new norm? Do you think your party is the only one who can abuse the system and try to overthrow the government? Do you think that the people who are willing to break every law, to dismantle your democracy, and to literally send mobs out to kill other elected officials are going to turn around afterwards and dedicate their lives to serving your needs and the needs of the American people?

Just. Fucking. Stop.

This isn't a game. This shit is real, and we came fucking close to someone taking our democracy away. And when that happens- they don't give it back. Ever.
