We are so far beyond Buttery Males with these assholes. Meadows was burning documents and voting in two different states. Trump angry that his own VP was whisked to safety from the mob. These people are vile and there is no limit to what they’d in their quest for power. They will destroy democracy and this country if they are not stopped.

This is what the GOP is now. It’s time to stop pretending that it’s a legitimate political party and not the radical fascist fifth column that has become.

Because the DOJ is dragging its heels on enforcing the contempt of Congress referrals. The plan is to run out the clock until republicans retake control of the House. Then, the committee to investigate 1/6 will be replaced with the committee to investigate the members of the committee to investigate 1/6. At which point, Meadows et al will be happy to testify about how they’ve been persecuted.

Having written it here, I'm actually more likely to do it. Internet guilt is a thing!I'm going to use the banker's boxes and hanging folders that I got a year ago to sort and clean up the piles of paperwork in my living room.

(So we'll see how that whole "internet guilt" thing goes...)

“Apparently Meadows was in the habit of burning documents in the fireplace in his office“

I bet Matt Lauer would have so many questions.

This is what I will never get Trump almost got Republicans killed or at least put them in danger. Imagine their families watching this and freaking out? I would have volunteered to speak to the committee, DOJ and anyone I could to pay his ass back.

Thump was giving Pence a chance to be a martyr.

White guys could not stand the idea of her as President. So they cheated us all. Again. Imagine if Gore was acknowledged as winner. Oil would be a page in kid's history books. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

OK, but the reason to take Pence away in the car was so Chuck Grassley could stand in for him in the ceremonial thing and reject the real electors from those swing states. Saying ‘no one knows what’s happening with the election we have to vote in the house of representatives like they did with Rutherford B Hayes’. THAT was the plan! We have to remember that so we somehow can stop it.

Erm, I'm not surprised. Trump really did want Mike Pence dead for the crime of not opposing the election count and unanimously declaring Trump the winner instead (which Mike Pence had no authority to, but hey, small details!).

So, why wouldn't he be mad when Mike Pence didn't end up dead? Hell, he might STILL want Mike Pence dead even now! Trump is vengeful like that, it's no secret whatsoever.

White guys, for sure. But let us not forget that 53% of white women also voted Trump in 2016. And in 2020, Trump GAINED 10% in latina women over his 2016 numbers - which, while low in absolute numbers, is still an incomprehensible number of latina women for Trump.

So men, white men mostly, but they had a lot of fucking help.
