Are Trump and the MAGATs being set up?

[PufPuf23]

In no way should this question suggest that I support Trump or the MAGATs or mean to mitigate Trump or the MAGAT fools.

This question is based upon the Meadows, Hannity, etc, revelations in the recent news.

1. pardon me while I trash this thread

7. You are welcome to do that.

It is a thought had just now watching Maddow.

2. Nah! They're not being 'set up'..........

They're all just tripping over their own stupidity and finding themselves in a deep well of trouble.......

5. I think there will be lots of dimes dropped as this investigation proceeds.

Given the folks, Trump himself, installed, there isn't an honest one in the bunch.

[PufPuf23]

6. That makes me feel better.

What I was riffing on was that we were told today that the 25th Amendment solution was considered by TFG's co-conspirators. Also that obviously Hannity had fore knowledge of what would happen on 1/6.

3. Can you throw somebody under the bus if you're already under it yourself?

[Maeve]

16. No but you can drag others with you when drowning

[Walleye]

17. Oh I like that. Drag'em under a dump truck

[LetMyPeopleVote]

4. Wow. @MarkMeadows appears to have completely thrown @SeanHannity under a bus

8. No but in the world they want to live in they would set each other up in a heartbeat.

There has to be a top predator and the best prey will be the rich and powerful.

They will devour each other after they kill off the media that doesn't bend to their will, steal money from big businesses, make them pay them a cut or downright takeover businesses. They will decimate the top when they aren't satisfied with destroying the rest of us.

At some point they will need to sate their greed when the pickins' are slim and they will feed on each other. Hell they are doing it now so maybe they will go after the rich and powerful first to consolidate their reign of terror.

Hopefully the people who are apathetic will wake the fuck up and help us put a stop to this.

9. By who ?

Care to explain ?

[NJCher]

10. I think it's very simple

Hannity realized this was treason, which is why he said it should never be spoken of again.

Slobfather, however, ignored even his own daughter who tried to tell him twice to stop the protesters. He then coerced McCarthy, Meadows et al into agreeing to foment the big lie.

That doesn’t make it a viable path back into power.

[PJMcK]

12. I think you're exactly right

Hannity and others knew that Trump was planning a treasonous assault. He knew that the DOJ lawyers were skeptical of Trump’s plans because they threatened to resign if Trump replaced the Acting AG with a toady. They all knew Trump wanted violence at the Capitol.

This is all so overt and the many pieces of evidence of criminality and insurrection are obvious. What is AG Garland waiting for?

18. Maybe he had a lucid moment where he considered would be saying if a Democrat were doing it

Nah, never mind. The hypocrisy along with the cruelty is the point

11. How exactly does this CT work?

[PufPuf23]

13. Aside from the CT slur, the thought that crossed my mind

was that shade could be provided for the various Congress traitors and TFG staff and toadies involved.

TFG and the insane ones end up with the punishment while others on board with TFG's wickedness skate.

Wish I had not made the post because of several responses.

[leftstreet]

14. I think it's a reasonable question

Establishment DC wants the Republican party to dump Trump. Period.

They don't want the entire party upended

[PufPuf23]

15. Thank you. Think you are spot on too. nt

[Hekate]

19. Well, the thread's turned out better than I expected from the OT, so perhaps it was just inartful...

You provoked what turned out to be a good discussion.

[PufPuf23]

20. Definitely inartful and thank you.

Have to cop to typing that post with a tad too much tequila in my system.

I was anything but clear. Several posters clarified the fleeting thought I had while watching Rachel.
