The house select committee on Jan 6

@JayJay

@WuWei

Again, you prove my point. Short-sighted and small thinking.

In what way?

I’m looking ahead beyond this. Americans have short, short attention spans. How is this in any ways wrong?

The goal of the kabuki is to keep Trump from running and destroy MAGA, right?

Nope. Dems would prefer Trump to DeSantis. Much easier to beat.

This is about pointing out that Trump and his followers tried to end the Republic.

Read what you just wrote.

@WuWei

Read what you just wrote.

I did. If we wanted something politically helpful it would be to go after DeSantis.

You must be joking. Oh, and “we”?

@WuWei

Nope.

Libz…

[Orygun]

But you know this. Even a ton of conservatives (including you?) don’t want Trump as the nom. Waaaay too much baggage.

Trump wants to run again in 2024. Bring it on, he'll just lose again.

Nope.

Libz…

“Libz” ain’t producing the show. Prog pols are. Are you seriously suggesting that anybody in Washington DC does anything for any reason other than “politically helpful”? Are you trying to claim altruism? Honesty? From DC pols?

You can’t be that naive.

Anyway, I hope the kommittee succeeds in it’s goal. I really do.

Destroy Trump. Crush MAGA. Make sure he never thinks about running again. Good luck.

@WuWei

Are you seriously suggesting that anybody in Washington DC does anything for any reason other than “politically helpful”?

Yup I genuinely think Cheney and Kizinger are not doing this for any political reason that is helpful to them. They have ended their political careers because they don’t want to see the Republic ended.

@WuWei

The funny thing is, these Kommittee Karens and their fanbois are doing the republicans a yuge favor if they get “justice”.

The committee can’t force republicans to have a back bone.

Ok… sure?

Yep. That is exactly it.

The thing is that they don’t care.

I think that is the outcome that they want.

Talks of National divorce and all.

But that would come with a huge price that no one wants to pay… nor should pay… but if it makes lib tears then it is worth it.

[Orygun]

@Jezcoe

The thing is that they don’t care.

I think that is the outcome that they want.

I wonder about that-

Are they ignorant of how truly awful that would be? Or do they think that the Republic would keep running after a Trump coup? Or did some not know the stakes and still to this day don’t believe that was happening? Or…are they still all in for a Rightist coup?

It’s not that they lack a backbone.

They hate this country.

I think that they were delusional in thinking that it would work. That Democrats would simply say… you scamps… you got us with your bizarre and novel interpretation of Parliamentary procedure…. We will get you next time…. No… the country would fly apart.

It is what they want to happen. They want war and boots on necks.

[Smyrna]

The guy that broke the window in the capitol that Ashli Babbitt climbed through was Zachary Alam. One of his relatives turned him into the FBI. Since that time, I see where he’s gone to court but I can’t find the final resolution. What was the final outcome of his prosecution? Does anybody know?

Ya thats the crazy part to me. That they would use the most twisted interpretations of the Constitution and “tricks” to claim power and then…

what?

Jan 20 rolls around and those who voted for Biden would be like…fine sure ok- you got us with your tricks- Trump can stay in power.

Nah- it would have been madness- marches, protests, violence, martial law, a government in complete disarray, military commanders forced to choose sides, potential civil war, etc.

But yeah- I agree that there is a large segment of conservatives…who want that.

[JayJay]

You really think “the progs” aren’t capable of gaming this out the way you did?

The “progs” don’t have a great hand right now. Guarantee they know the risks and potential downside, but these are the cards they have.
