Bravo. It's time to play hardball with the di(kheads who have shown such contempt for the vast majority of Americans.

Fox News prime time isn't merely biased, it's actively and willfully promoting disinformation, through a combination of airing material it knows to be false and not airing important information that interferes with its dishonest and authoritarian slant. It has done and continues to do incalculable harm to American values. I hope it suffers great financial distress from this campaign.

I find it absurd that we let justices serve for the rest of their lives. I get the argument that lifetime appointments are to protect against the whims of politics, but it's no better to leave such important, long lasting effects on society to the luck of the draw on a calendar. It's bizarre that we allow one president to cash in on the judge lottery just because some random number of old geezers happen to keel over during his or her term in office - or in one of the appointments Trump made, months before it even begins.

You can argue that terms should be long, 10 years or something, but they should not be lifetime. No one is infallible, but appointing them to lifelong terms sure gives that impression.

I must say, the Repubs are showing their true colors. Nosy nags with contempt for freethinking women.

Eff the eff off, Susan Collins. Go furrow your brow for someone who cares.

Trying to keep up with the news these days while having a full-time job is not easy. It's been one terrible GOP-led horror after another these past few years. All I can say is, they've done an awful lot of sowing since at least the Tea Party days, and it got much worse after Trump BS-ed his way into office.

The sowing hasn't stopped, but the reaping has begun, as the Jan. 6 hearings are showing. Celebrate your "wins" now, righties, because as with the election of Trump, when the dust settles, this will prove to be a Pyrrhic victory for the right.

This agency brought the trouble on itself. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes out of business.

Don't want to mark the holiday by giving your staff the day off? Stay open. There's no need to be obnoxious about it by posting a racist sign. Such a weird time when hateful people so willingly put their livelihoods at risk just so they can say or do something that's openly hostile.

Fox news HIDES reality from its stupid gullible viewers. On purpose. Fox news doesn't want them to know how their party tried to overthrow democracy.

Fox is in on it. Hell, they helped start it. They are literally the Fox guarding the henhouse.

Local Criminal Upset that Informant Confirms Crime

Gotta love the subhead, "Let The Reapin' Begin."

Excellent. I've always thought Trump's vanity would be his undoing. May it be so.

Don't you think we've probably seen everything of value in the filmmaker's possession? Sure, it's worthy of a subpoena, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Dan Quayle convinced Pence that Trump and his loonies were lying and the VP can not pick the President.

We owe a surprising debt of gratitude to a VP I've long thought of as a worthless idiot.

I suppose. But he should have gone to the FBI to report an attempt to overthrow to circumvent the peaceful transfer of power.

For anyone complaining about the NYT paywall, here's the key passage:

Rusty Bowers, the Republican speaker of Arizona's House of Representatives, recounted how he resisted intensive pressure by Mr. Trump and his lieutenants to overturn his loss in the state.

"I didn't want to be used as a pawn," Mr. Bowers testified, explaining why he had refused to call a hearing to examine the possibility of removing electors for Mr. Biden and replacing them with electors for Mr. Trump. He told the panel that he had refused two entreaties from Mr. Trump and several more from his legal advisers, who said repeatedly that they had evidence of fraud sufficient to reverse the election outcome, but never produced any.

"You are asking me to do something against my oath, and I will not break my oath," Mr. Bowers said.

Bowers was good today. I dare anyone to say he's a RINO. He voted for Trump in 2020. But when Trump and his team wanted him to pretend the election was rigged, Bowers said no. And when Trump claimed today - today! - that Bowers had agreed that the election was rigged, Bowers said that is not true.

If Greitens feels it's perfectly fine to hunt RINOs with long rifles - no tagging, no limits - how do you think he feels about targeting those of us who aren't Republicans at all?

Inviting us to a cookout?

Sick. Considering all the recent gun violence, insurrection apologists in congress and the constant claims of fraud and conspiracy from the right wing, Greitens does not get to claim creative license. This is promoting violence. What a dick move.

Kinzinger and Cheney, the only Republicans showing any backbone, are in danger because of crap like this.

The other 4 would rather see America destroyed than admit they were duped by a con man.

That's because we still ain't got enough guns, doncha see? We can't be free n' safe until every last American is protected by their own high-powered liberty maker, blasting giant, smoking holes of freedom through the bones and flesh of tyranny. Anything less is commies.

Crenshaw has hardly been a RINO, either. Good lord, the purity test that these wackos have should tell you all you need to know about today's "conservatives."

Trump Nation will stop at nothing to tighten their grip on political power. They disregard rules and laws they don't like and make it up as they go. And the dim bulbs who watch Fox all day never question whether it's legal, moral or damaging to the America they claim to love.

I will say I'm not as emotionally invested in this as some others so Im not following it that close.

I'm still not convinced this was an attempted coup unless stealing Pelosis gavel and podium has more power than I realized.

Reality eludes you. Maybe you should pay more attention.

Future headline: Bannon ordered to shower, shave, serve 10 years in prison.

Jesus, the usual insurrectionist wannabes are here blathering they have doubts about the slam dunk heard today. Keep lying to yourself, losers.

I don't really care what the GOP thinks about this. The Republican Party is so tainted by its inexorable connection to the purulent abscess known as Donald Trump that it should be dissolved.

What matters is honesty and integrity, and it's beyond obvious that Trump and his cult are incapable of crossing paths with either. Since there is zero chance that we will convince this flagrantly undemocratic claque to acknowledge the truth or change its ways, it is incumbent on the rest of American leadership to do it the hard way and pursue criminal prosecutions.
