I'm pronouncing TTA as tit-tay in my head.

This is bad news, but also good news. More evidence that the terrorist attack on the Capitol was implemented with hep from a wide swath of establishment Republicans, and if the DOJ really goes after them all, we'll end up with a large number of R Congress people, R party operatives, and R former admin stooges in jail.

And really good rationale for national voting standards/machines, and an end to gerrymandering national wide.

With Biden's rapid action on firing T***** toadies, I have confidence he will not equivocate in his response.

"Is this real enough for y'all yet"

Actually Mr. Evan it has been real enough for me since 1972. That year I took a public speaking / Speech class in high school. I participated in a discussion assignment about a book called 'The Population Explosion'. I was later informed by no less than four people that I was scum and that they would consider it an honor to kill me. My teacher also discussed my "subversive" views with my mom and I was in hot water at home too.

I have never attended a re-union.

Um, yeah. One understands that happy horseshit 'unity' tropes are part of the kabuki, but fuck this: https://uploads.disquscdn.c...20085f05c13aaf86eacf53ed98de3af.jpg One either respects the constitutional process or not. Those who violate it, and use violence in doing so need to experience real consequences.

The threats towards his family weren’t meant to scare them into silence. They were intended to ‘persuade’ Jeffries to help Trump. It’s basically holding people hostage, demanding payment. Meanwhile, Trump (and others) continued to text Republicans, during the insurrection and after, to tell them to help him. I wish that the Dems or the Gang of 8, or whoever, have been given the evidence of that phone activity during the timeline, including which people it involved, but I doubt it.

The FBI just needs to keep arresting these terrorists, press hard for information and them the courts try, convict and sentence with no parole- covid be damned. Pack the prisons.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene were a Democrat she would have been run out of town by now(by other Democrats as well as the Beltway and Republicans). This shit is really getting old.

You’re right. In the end, the Democrats will forgive and forget. In the meantime, the Republicans will strike again and the Democrats will, again, forgive and forget. Then the Republicans will strike yet again and, yet again, the Democrats will forgive and forget. Then, one more time ...

The whole Qult needs to be listed as a terrorist organization, along with the proud boys and a bunch of other magat groups.

Well, the dems will probably do this disgusting "Unity" bullshit, but that does. not. mean. we have to. It means the exact opposite. Shun these people, family, friends, coworkers, be aware of them at all times, and take notes. Take pictures of vehicles covered in Trump shit that belong to businesses. Alert people on Yelp, Twitter, etc.. They are physical threats to all of us.

Agreed- the easiest way to stop this, going forward, is to eliminate gerrymandering.

Kabuki - yes, what I said about the "impeachment". Shaman guy's lawyer will probably get further in charging Trump than Congress and that place is packed with lawyers.
