The testimony from today’s hearings was powerful. It only validated everything that we were watching in real time. Everything we thought Dolt45 and his criminal enterprise of an Administration were doing, THEY WERE DOING.
The active subversion of the Constitution. The willingness of them to destroy the peaceful transfer of power that had been done between every President since George Washington.
These hearings, and their importance, become more obvious with everyone we get. The American people and the pages of history need for this to be on the record.
The attacks on those who were simply doing their jobs will always be unacceptable.
The GOP is a pro-fascist organization, from top to bottom.
Tom Clancy nailed it years ago.
They are a Clear and Present Danger to the Republic.
Period.
The testimonials today were powerful. Enraging.
when considering the power and dignity of the Jan 6 hearings, remember how the committee arrived at this moment – how Nancy Pelosi handled her responsibilities concerning the threat to American democracy, and how Kevin McCarthy handled his

Jason Ravnsborg, the South Dakota attorney general who ran over and killed a man on a highway in 2020, was convicted in an impeachment trial by state lawmakers on Tuesday, effectively ending his career.
The South Dakota Senate voted 24-9 to affirm count one against Ravnsborg, meeting the two-thirds majority needed to convict him and remove him from office. He was also convicted on the second count, 31-2, and two 33-0 votes barred him from ever holding office again.

I think that half the nation was seething with rage yesterday after Shay Moss and Lady Ruby Freeman told their story.
First, I am so glad that the committee included Shay and Lady Ruby’s testimony in these historic hearings. Let it be documented for the ages that the 45th president of the US was a sniveling, low-life bully and all around piece of sh!t. How dare he and his equally repulsive sidekick Rudy Guiliani defame a couple of good, decent, hardworking women and cut loose the MAGA “brownshirts” to try and lynch these women and terrorize Shay’s elderly grandmother.
This is, of course, in addition to what they did to election officials in all the states where Trump tried to reverse the will of the voters and steal the presidency. The reality of this just keeps getting worse as we observe Trump in full blown bully mode, talking his trash, bullying and threatening officials, targeting election workers, ruining people’s lives without even thinking about it.
Trump must be indicted. I just have no faith the AG Garland has got the balls to do it.
Good Morning, Everyone😊😊😊
