  1. no recent threats

    article is visible incognito. Schiff criticizes Garland (wish Schiff was AG, ngl). Then there’s this:

    >a House Republican probe into the causes of the Jan. 6 insurrection is underway to shift away from the narrative that Trump was to blame for the Capitol attack. The House Administration Committee’s oversight panel is expected to hold several hearings before the election, and recently released a report that pushed back against the Democratic-led select committee’s focus on Trump.

    >Much of the new investigation has focused on whether the select committee had hidden information that may have exonerated Trump. House Republicans have repeatedly alleged that information, such as some transcripts, is missing.

    so… that’s gonna be a thing

  2. such a weird headline for America and yet it is completely expected and rational.

  3. Old Huff ‘n’ Puff didn’t lock Hillary up either. Just hot air from his blow hole.

  4. I am hoping one of two things happen; First the Supreme Court states Presidents have immunity. Immediately withing 48 hours Trump is picked up and Gitomoed, all involved in Jan 6 and the big lie join him, Charles Koch, Ginni Thomas, Clarance Thomas, Leonard Leo, Executive staff of the Heritage Foundation join him also. All interrogated for their open attempt to legalize the destruction of our democracy. Project 2025 is a COUP from within the USA! Second after trumps and the republican party’s big loss, immediately take trump off the streets and bring charges against all Jan 6 and MAJOR investigation into Citizens United, Supreme Court, Project 2025, all involved must never be allowed near our government ever. But the dems will want to let the nation heel/heal

  5. One of the first things Hitler did when he became dictator was to imprison his political opponents. Over time it wasn’t enough to keep his grift going so he continued to find new groups to blame, imprison and kill.

  6. The guy can’t shut up about how wrong it is to use law enforcement against political opponents. Yet he wants too do exactly that and will probably fail at it like other promises made.

    Jan 6 was caused by him. He watched the MAGA crowd beat police officers and we all saw a lady refusing to comply with law enforcement who had his gun drawn. His MAGA senators who waved to the crowds as they came to the Capitol stood up in the halls where a lady bled to death on her Trump flag “cape” calling her and these people ANTFA. The world was watching and without evidence the MAGA senators names ANTIFA.

    Jan 7 – Jan 20 Trump is still selling pardons. Doesn’t pardon any on these people. He doesn’t pardon his attorneys or the MAGA senators.

    After he leaves office he calls these people patriots. His MAGA senators went and visited them in Jail. Calling them heroes. The same people that called them ANTIFA raises money off these people who were told and encouraged by the President to do what they did. Now Trump wants to investigate the politicians that looked into those claims? Fuck this guy.

    MAGA “lock her up”

    MAGA “politicians shouldn’t be punished”

    MAGA “we can’t lock her up”

    MAGA “the people behind Jan 6 are ANTIFA”

    MAGA “Biden DOJ is persecuting patriots for Jan 6”

    MAGA “Presidential immunity is real”

    MAGA “since we can’t lock up the former 1st Lady can we lock up Biden and members of Congress”

  7. Well more republicans could have not ignored requests to testify, and brought forth this evidence.

  10. When the fuck will some adults stand up and put an end to this insanity? Jail please. For a long long time.

  11. In August, he said he would “have no choice” but to lock up his political opponents. “If he intends to eliminate our constitutional system and start arresting his political enemies, I guess I would be on that list,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose).5 hours ago

  12. When ~~Saddam~~ Trump sits in power, the first of the those to stop clapping and sit down will be taken out back and shot.

  13. Why is the press, the courts, etc. continuing to treat this so casually? Trump is a direct threat to the United States and every alarm bell should be going off as loudly as possible to stop it from happening.

  15. It seems to me if the Republican Party ever wants to get back to its glory then it might be in their best interest to make sure Joe Biden wins. At least they’ll have the opportunity to win future elections (fairly) and right the ship. If trump wins, it’s over for everyone. Not just dems. I’m not thrilled about Biden either but I know what the options are here.

  17. The former president is having a mental breakdown. Stop listening to the noise on the right. Organise, Plan and Vote.

  19. This is why I maintain that the Second Amendment was fundamentally flawed as a concept from the beginning. While I am fully aware that liberal gun owners exist, the people who are most aggressively flaunting their desire to use their guns to defeat tyranny have instead thrown the full weight of their support behind an outright tyrant.

    Which makes sense. The psychology behind those who hoard guns and the psychology behind those who fall for tyrants is essentially identical.

  20. UPDATE: Trump National Committee changes names AGAIN to the Trump Incel Committee

  22. I think we need a MAGA CARTA. Like the Magna Carta, but.. no just like the Magna Carta.

  23. Its interesting how MAGA doesnt see this as the fascist dictator he wants to be. The Jan 6 committee didnt commit crimes exposing trump for HIS crimes.

  24. Its a repeat of the history that made Hitler leader of germany…but GOP seem ok either way that
