Although Vice President Mike Pence declined to accept Trump's fake slates of electors when Congress met to certify the presidential vote on January 6, the same wasn't true of Republicans in general. A total of 59% of House Republicans supported objections to the count in Arizona and 68% did so in Pennsylvania.

The Electoral Count Act, passed last year, will stop this kind of stuff in the future. But 96% of House Republicans voted against it.

Bottom line: It's not just Trump. We have an entire political party that went along with the coup attempt. There were just enough non-corrupt Republicans to stop it, but it was a close-run thing.




Is this your party, bitch?

From January 6th, 2017:




Maybe we should just arrest all of them too and they can all be flown out to Mara-lago and play footsie with Trump in their ankle bracelets until he wins the General election next year.


Get fucked, stupid.

"Instead of making Biden answer for his reckless progressive agenda, Trump makes the debate about indictments, personal grievances and the election he lost," one 30-second spot, titled "The Choice" has been warning voters.

The second spot, titled "Unelectable," even described Trump as a serial loser who caused Republicans to lose the House, Senate, and the White House. "If Donald Trump is the GOP nominee, we could lose everything," the narrator warns.

Believe it or not, there is a positive side to the unprecedented spectacle of a former U.S. president being indicted for criminal conspiracy to overturn an election. As tens of millions of his supporters rally to Trump’s side, and with the world watching in appalled amazement, the United States is about to go through a stress test reminiscent of what banks put themselves through (by order of the government, of course, under the Dodd-Frank Act): Can they survive the worst crisis the financial system could throw at them?

Bank stress tests, of course, are merely mathematical exercises. They’re like crashing in a flight simulator, where one can step out afterward and fix whatever went wrong. This is real-time history happening. If Trump succeeds in his campaign to defy the Justice Department (which, if he becomes president, he intends to dismantle a substantial portion of, along with the FBI), escape conviction, and win reelection by painting the several indictments against him as political weaponization comparable to Nazi Germany, then there may be no stepping out of this crash site. Still, stress tests almost invariably make institutions more crisis-proof: Recall that the stress-tested banks did survive the Silicon Valley Bank crisis thanks to shored-up capital resulting from previous exercises.

And it’s difficult to imagine that anything more testing could be thrown at the 247-year-old American experiment than this: In an atmosphere in which a substantial portion of the country no longer believes in facts coming from the federal government, and with a former leader who openly threatens to tear down the Constitution crushing his 2024 opposition in the latest polls, just about everything is at stake. The most fundamental pillars of U.S. democracy that go back to the Founding Fathers—starting with the peaceful transfer of power—are now up against demagogic and populist forces more threatening than anything the nation has seen. And still more indictments are to come, especially related to Trump’s alleged tampering of election results in Georgia—making the test of the U.S. system one that is occurring simultaneously on the federal, state, and local level. Americans today are truly living out that ancient Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” (And no doubt China’s leaders are watching these events—and the possible dissolution of its rival nation—with bemused anticipation.)

Trump will be fine.

Trump will be fine, but the people who contribute to his campaign will not. They will be made to regret it because everybody can see who gave money to Trump much the same way as registered Nazis regretted having their names on the Nazi list that the US Army could examine after Germany was conquered:

6ixStringJack, give Trump a big Heil Hitler salute. He will love that you love him.

Yanno THUGR, I can't say that I've looked deeply into any of the charges against Trump, but at a glance I think they're as bogus as TRUMP!RUSSIA!COLLUSION! and QUIDPROQUO! and 100% politically motivated. And Johnathan Turley, a professor at George Washington School of Law, and a Constitutional lawyer, thinks so too.

And when you post bullshit like

- which is obvious mouth-breathing hysteria- you only discredit your own posts.


The reason for the last charge is to try Trump in a DC court, where he will face a fully-hostile jury. But it also attempts to prosecute Trump for Constitutionally-protected free speech.

Is that what you want to do? Kill free speech?

First, except for cases involving a trial defendant’s confession, the evidence establishing Donald Trump’s criminal intent is as overwhelming as I have seen in my 40-plus years in the courtroom. Second, as pointed out before, none of the six “experts” he allegedly relied upon are likely to be available to so testify. Thus, the only way the former president can rebut the mountain of evidence establishing he knew he lost the election and that his attempts to overturn the result were illegal is to testify in his own defense and somehow convince a jury it was all an innocent mistake.

Donald Trump is incapable of successfully testifying on his own behalf. He possesses no real and exculpatory facts to present to a jury and lacks the emotional and intellectual self-control to get through a direct examination, let alone a hostile cross-examination loaded with the legal equivalent of nuclear weapons. The hardest task for whoever would cross-examine Donald Trump would be to whittle it down to the best three days’ worth of material so as not to overdo it.

Bottom line—in one of the strongest and best-crafted prosecutions imaginable, we have a defendant who is historically incapable of successfully defending himself. That Jack Smith and his team have created a courtroom nightmare in which—absent a MAGA Trumpster somehow getting on the jury to hang a potential verdict—Donald Trump has no escape. This is a reality not to be glided over.
