I remember all those changes, dismissals, quits, and whatnot. I remember all the Sessions comments, then he was gone and the next one was in, then the next...it was such a circus.
Well, we know why now. The last two hearings have made it crystal clear. Trump was going to overthrow the government no matter what anyone told him. Those smart legislators refused to get caught up in it. We have to hold those that did it accountable. We absolutely must, in the face of those doing the right thing. We can't let this go. For the good of the country, we can't let it go.
The two names I want to see the most in front of the judge are Eastman and Trump. I don't have it down well enough to say, "Well, so and so violated this US Code," and "so and so violated that one." I'll leave it to the Court system. There are so many that you need a spreadsheet to keep track. I hope that if one of them flees, we find out about it pdq. I'll get my popcorn out for that; we have a remarkable record of arresting people on the tarmac.
I just found myself amazed at the testimony. It is becoming crystal clear what Trump did in an attempt to hold onto power, and why even those scum buckets we detested wanted to distance themselves from him. Wow, all it would have taken was one or two of those guys to give up. I think a crucial moment was when that guy marshalled up his backers, and they all stated they would quit rather than work under Clark.
That left Trump the last play of the gambit. I swear, I really think that he was looking forward to Pence getting hung. I think that he is responsible for the whole riot, and the attempted coup. I want him arrested and retired to Gitmo, along with his buddy Eastman. Or, as I have already said several times, he could be allowed to sail away from our shores. One way or another, he's got to go.
What makes me want to cry is the possibility that he could do this shit again. Midterms, 2024...I want an indictment before Midterms. Him and his buddies.

But there are so many besides them. The people in Congress, both the House and the Senate.
Some of the most vile characters from the Trump administration, though, will never pay for their deeds. I am thinking of Stephen Miller, the architect of the kidnapping of migrant children at the southern border. Bears a physical resemblance to Joseph Goebbels as well as a similarity of character

(6,679 posts)He has weaponized (literally) every voting district in America. NO ONE is safe from his jackboot thugs. Right now, all he has to do is publish a name and a whine in whatever cesspool he blathers in now, and you can bet that person will be hounded at best and murdered at worst. Their families too.
No one is safe. Accept a ginger mint from Mom and next thing you know people are slashing your tires and leaving dead pets on our doorstep as a warning. Calling you at all hours of the day and night. Sneaking up in the dark because "I just want to talk". It is happening to Republicans and Democrats alike - all over the country.
Even if we take down that skunk and buddies, the jackboots aren't going anywhere. Brave Americans or no, it is a lot to ask someone to stand tall and keep fighting for it once your children or grandchildren are being intimated. This is how Hitler did it. Not at the top, but from the bottom.
