I marvel at the abject stupidity of people like Pete Sessions ~~ who leave a trail of cookie crumbs right back to their own participation in a coup attempt.

Maybe that's what passes for "smart" in Texas. DUH!

CORKY

Don't kid yourself. Money talks.

If Trump goes to prison it will be at a Club Fed that has a 9-hole golf course.

If Trump is convicted, who IS the new leader of a fractured Republican Party?

"Trump has shown America how a man with a small penis can be a huge d*** the likes of which we've never seen."

Kim Jong-Un and Xi had that figured out ~~ the smaller the penis, bigger the mouth.

First thing ~~ check to see if those shell companies had any connection to members of Trump Org. shell companies.

Trump deliberately excluded Amazon so this is going to piss him off something royal.

McConnell is a sneaky SOB. There's no telling what he's up to.

I was glad to hear this. (Big sigh!)

It's pretty much a fact "in this day and age" that some Senate Republican obstructionists are still hard at work trying to destroy democracy ~ namely Ted Cruz and his wingman, John Hawley.

These two need to be swept back into the woodpile from whence they came ~~ like woe-is-me losers left to gnaw on the remnants of their civilian life.

Where, exactly, were his loyalties?

"The morons don't understand that right now America would celebrate if the feds fried any domestic threat to America."

A very astute observation.

The same could be said about any lone wolf from QAnon who tries to complete the mission all by his lonesome.

You've heard of majority rule, haven't you?

I don't know where you came up with "50%." That sure wasn't reflected on November 3rd nor during the tabulation of the electoral votes.

Maybe you're thinking those hoodlums on January 6 were 50% of the population. I did hear one of them say "America has arrived." ~ LOL

I knew a guy once who worked for a medium sized company. When the company changed hands and set new policies, this guy I knew protested (vehemently) and got fired. He screamed at his new boss "You can't run this place without me." The next day his access code to the building was canceled.

Hint, hint.

"Why would a President of the United States seem to intentionally weaken the United States?"

He was trying to do what every tinpot dictator does ~ create a two class system, the haves and the have nots, with himself at the top of the heap. Trump wanted what Vladimir Putin has ~ absolute power. He just ran out of two things ~ smarts and time.

Buried among Trump's many other mental problems is the fact that he's an insecure control freak to whom greed and an insatiable need to control every facet of his surroundings is the impetus that drives him to self-destruction.

He just isn't smart enough to figure it out.

The whole day was designed to raise America's spirits ~~ out and far away from the doom and gloom pallor Trump left behind.

Mostly, real America started to take deeps breaths of relief. No more Mr. Pigface!

It doesn't matter. QAnon is sorely disappointed in Trump. He promised so much and delivered so little. After the blusterbust on January 6, I heard one member say, "It wasn't supposed to be like this." Others have scattered to the four corners, or their mother's basement, with the FBI hot on their trail. Other have suddenly developed a conscience and turned themselves in. I heard some have even shaved their beards and got jobs.

With Trump out of commission the remaining hardcore will be looking for another false prophet to follow. It seems like Ted Cruz is ready and willing to fill the vacuum. He's going to need their wrath when he tries to follow in Trump's footsteps.

Since Willowby enjoys being a glutton for punishment, he should be betting on Ted Cruz.

The number one lie being he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

It was quite nauseating really. He lied from beginning to end ~ just like he always does.

And his pant legs still looked like they belonged on a double-masted sailing ship.

The crowd was small but he did get his red carpet. There was one small cannon (borrowed from a civil war museum, I think) that set off a few rounds. All in all, attitude wise, it was obvious he wasn't a happy camper. The plots for revenge were already fermenting.

YODAGIRL

No need.

They're just the usual contrarians. They come and go around here. Sort of like people you know who don't bathe regularly and also has halitosis.

Trump grand farewell before boarding AF-1 was a grand flop.

Pardons would also deprive them of their 5th Amendment rights and open the door to testifying under oath.

No more, "I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself."

MAD

I believe you.

We've heard stories about inmate-appointed prison justice for child abusers. They're not safe in the general population.

As for this thread, that guy needs to get his priorities straight.

And there's this from Global Medical Response:

"01.16.2021
Global Medical Response (GMR), announced today that it has suspended the operation of the mass vaccination site in Sumter County Florida due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding the national supply of COVID-19 vaccines. "

The Villages is in Sumter County. So there never was any 90,000 doses and everybody counted their chickens before the eggs were hatched.

People who live in The Villages are spoiled brats.

There probably never was 90,000 doses of vaccine and that probably wasn't the real Global Medical Response company.

SITZ

" Usually rioters have the sense to at least wait until dark"

It couldn't wait until after dark.

Trump had to time the riot to coincide with Pence announcing the state-by-state electoral votes at the joint session which would officially confirm Joe Biden as President.

Trump's timing was good ~ except he didn't count on Pence and Pelosi being alive and the session reconvening after the building had been cleared.

To use REDIAL's favorite descriptor of Trump ~ LEWZER!

"So if they had managed to kill both Pelosi and Pence who was next in line? Pompeo or Grassley, someone else?

Who knows. Trump only gave them two targets.
