That's what we're talking about...
>Trump was told 'Six Ways From Sunday' that he LOST the election...his response...lunch on the wall of the White House dining room.
>Trump was told that many Rally attendees had AR-15s, Glock pistols and other weapons...his response...'They're not here to hurt me...let them all in'...as opposed to shock and concern for the safety of others.
>Trump then told the attendees to go to the Capitol and "Fight Like Hell"...oh, and he would be there leading this armed mob.
Going to be interesting to see what the History books have to say about this...what will you tell your progeny about it?
All Republicans are scum. Thank God for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Have all of you lost your damn minds? Give it a fucking rest!
You'd think they would learn by now.

what really gets your attention.
year and a half. We have significant issues facing our country and the world. "This greatest threat to our democracy since the civil war" is the destruction of some property, the death of a rioter and the delay by a few hours of the normal course of business and transfer of power. While what happened was atrocious. And frankly I am fine with criminal charges. But to bring out this "Bombshell" revelation and it ends up being someone telling something they heard 2nd hand, and that is that Trump is a petulant child. Give me a fucking break. This is just insanity. Really isn't this kind of the flip side of the atty for Trump saying they were going to release the Kraken on election fraud? Everyone said, ok lets see the evidence and nothing came of it. Now the media is all in a tizzy for news, all I heard was "Bombshell witness" comes forward. Huge meh.
The media and the dems have really put Merrick Garland in a corner here. IF he doesn't bring charges, the liberals will be pissed. Not sure there is much of a case.....
My advice - drink more, laugh more, watch the news less.....
bit behind in what's transpired...
In addition to the revelations of the previous hearings...i.e. Trump was told he lost by his campaign manager and Attorney General, et al, back in December, and went on to concoct an illegal scheme to have V.P. Pence count bogus electors...we now know that he wanted to lead an armed insurrection in order to stay in power.
No free and fair election...no adherence to the Constitution or Rule of Law...no America.....I'd consider it a monumental threat for that man to have succeeded and in essence "Rule" our country...wouldn't you?
Inflation, foreign wars, abortion, etc. we can, have and will deal with...we have to make sure this threat never again materializes and these hearings provide the basis for future trials that will aid this objective.
Meanwhile, I'm very pleased with the Jan. 6th Committee's performance thus far...I'll toast you when Trump and his cohorts are in shackles...Slainte!
lodge hat to take over the country?
I mean really?

You libs screamed democracy is dying democracy is dying! For four years. Only for it to be saved "this time!" You'll forgive people for checking out on this one. Especially after the epic fail of yesterday....
Maybe America is dying (it's not). But with the constant howls and wailing from the left, it's getting easier to just tune it out. Inflation is through the roof, prices on everything is going up, but the focus is on abortion or trans rights or whatever nonsense you can dream up. They maybe important issues and worthy of dialogue. But there are too many things impacting ordinary Americans to listen to the cries of doom anymore.
about your ability to comprehend this fact after all that's been revealed thus far...perhaps some day you will...let's hope so.
This 'cancer' created by Trump needs to be excised...therefore the hearings to know how deep and wide it is.
most serious threat to our democracy since the civil war? Shirley, you can't be serious.....
Jan. 6th Committee members...plus a few other folks in this country.
So to be clear we heard that $10K of russian money on Facebook ads robbed the 2016 election for 4 years then we heard 2020 was the most safe election ever in recorded history. Now, a fat senior citizen wanted to lead a dude wearing a buffalo hat to take over the the US government.
Do you even stop for a second to hear what you are typing?
Look bud, don't confuse my lack of emotion for caring about Trump, because I do not. But this is an order of magnitude lesser than what you are claiming it to be. You choose not to take my advice. So by all means continue making this place completely unreadable for another decade......
Peace out!

their established state laws.....but carry on with your point.....or lack thereof.....
just for clarity's sake...do you believe the 2020 election was "Stolen?"
If I am able to answer a question to your satisfaction, does that lead more credence to my other opinions that run counter to yours????
relative importance and impact of the coup attempt vis-a-vis other momentous events in our history, that's definitely subjective...I'm presenting why I believe this one to be so serious...i.e. it tears down the very infrastructure that enables us to have a truly representative government where the majority of Americans get to choose their leaders...that's a big deal for most folks, I'd say.
Your posts make you seem disinterested in that line of thinking...so be it.
was off his rocker and a petulant child. I also know that everyone else stepped up to the plate and ushered in an orderly transfer of power. Your comments that this rises to the level of war, or 9/11 are frankly silly.
Hey Mike I want you to do so and so because I am your boss and I got screwed in the election. No, Mr. President. I knew this prior to the commission. Now really tell me something beyond that.....
in 2020 because every county in every state certified the election properly...just as they should have...BUT...had there been even a few key Secretaries of State who thought DT's requests were "OK" with them (i.e. just five or seven individuals out of the ~160 million voters), we would be in a world of hurt right now...it was that close...btw, the Jan. 6th riot and storming of the Capitol was a last ditch effort to seize power when all else had failed...it was dramatic, for sure, but the threat ran much wider and deeper.
The Jan. 6th hearings are not simply about one day...they are exposing all of the efforts Trump...and his co-conspirators...employed to enable him to trash our Constitution and remain in power, thus destroying our democracy.
This whole sordid mess needs to be exposed for what it was...a Coup...and make sure that all involved..of which there are MANY, both in and out of government...are held accountable so that they cannot be a party to any future attempt...our Constitutional form of government won't be safe until this is accomplished.
On the positive side, we are following all 'due process' measures and allowing involved persons to tell their stories to the public and many have taken advantage of those opportunities...btw, most of them have been Trump admin officials and attorneys.
Finally, this administration can walk and chew gum at the same time as the other serious problems you mention are being dealt with very aggressively.
was convened. Even the FOX TV trolls on this board know.
Holy shit, that was funny. Thanks, dim
Yes, I do know why the committee was ushered in....
1. They want to try and tie any person that supported Trump is a traitor and therefor should vote for the Democrats come November and certainly 2024.
2. They hate Trump and want to make sure that he doesn't ever run again. See media hystronics the past several years.
3. They would like to turn the attention away from as Tyrone put it the competent handling of all of the other issues the country is facing right now. As it does not appear they are handling things very well.
But that is fine - basically hang your hat on this committee in the hopes it will turn the mid terms. That is fine, but call it what it is, not the savior of the democracy.....
PSST.....couldn't tell you the last time I watched or listened to fox news.
this is the biggest crime EVER by a President and needs to be shown to the American people...and to the DOJ for prosecution...this is their JOB as representatives...and 'Protectors of the U.S. Constitution from both Foreign and DOMESTIC threats'...politics is real, but their job is Priority #1.
Choose whatever noun or verb you want, but Trump has earned every bit of "Hate" and "Loathing" coming his way...as well as whoever is found to have joined/abetted him in this seditious act.
What's going on now will be etched in our history forever.
You can carp and bleat about all the other issues...that's fair game...I'm glad that we have an administration that can set a course for long term objectives (Climate Change and Energy Transition), while dealing with a pandemic, Putin, Middle East unrest, domestic infrastructure, health care, racial justice, etc...all with proven Public Servants, and not just "Loyal Grifters".
or at least you are exactly what I pointed out - deliberately obtuse.
Pssssst - you always announce FOX TV rhetoric here, so I don't believe you.
You know I don't post on here anymore right? I assume Fox News says Trump is a moral scumbag and a petulant child? Because I posted that?
Read more post less. You are a main contributor to the shit hole this has become. No offense.....

All this did was harden peoples opinions. Libs will continue to think Trump is Darth Vader. Defenders now have their proof the committee is listening only to people who are willing to smear Trump. Sometimes flat out lie about him.
The committee is having the exact opposite effect you'd hoped it would have.
As for the Committee's impact, we'll have to wait and see...but you have to admit it's front page news across the country...
But we're not. We talking about seemingly second hand dubious testimony that the committee thought would be a slam dunk and it's had the opposite effect.
And I'm fully aware it's front page news. It doesn't change the fact it's not working out the way you hoped.
This was a very very bad thing for the January 6 committee. You can try and dismiss me for personal reasons all you like. You're misreading this. Big time.
