So Joe Biden called that little shit Doocy a little shit. Fine by me.

Fox News is a cancer on America that promotes hate, bigotry, disinformation, and the spreading of
C-19 so they and the republicans can blame Joe Biden and the democrats for not stopping it. Fuck
'em. That little shit is a son of bitch.

W. Post: The Supreme Court's order against Donald Trump is even worse for him than it appears

Opinion: The Supreme Court’s order against Donald Trump is even worse for him than it appears

By George T. Conway III

Trump lost the case in virtually record time. He sued the committee and the National Archives on Oct. 18, lost in the district court on Nov. 9, lost in the court of appeals on Dec. 9 and lost in the Supreme Court on Jan. 19. And so, today, the Jan. 6 committee has hundreds of documents Trump desperately wanted kept under wraps.

snip

Judge Patricia A. Millett

“The Committee has sound reasons,” Millett wrote, “for seeking presidential documents in particular as part of its investigation into the causes of the attack on the Capitol,” for a simple reason: “There is a direct linkage between the former President and the events of the day.” Indeed, the court concluded, “to allow the privilege of a no-longer-sitting President to prevail over Congress’s need to investigate a violent attack on its home and its constitutional operations would ‘gravely impair the basic function of the’ legislature.”

In other words, the justices relied solely on the reasoning that Trump’s claims were so paltry, his privilege arguments so weak, that Trump would have lost even were he still in office.

The result was an even more devastating rejection of Trump’s privilege claim — in effect, an unambiguous, blanket holding by the Supreme Court that presidents who incite insurrections in office don’t get to invoke executive privilege.

I love a story with a happy ending.

Whole lot of witches out there ... TFG, "This is all a witch hunt."



I might be wrong but I think the real reason TFG guy fought so hard to stay in power because
he knew that once out of office he was going to be facing lots of civil and criminal charges.

TFG is in deep shit. He is looking @ this line up:
NY's A.G., Washington D.C.'s A.G., Fulton County, GA's D.A., Manhattan's D.A., the House's
Jan. 6th Committee, and the US DoJ (those Seditious Conspiracy charges against the Oath
Keepers might be just the beginning ... I hope :tinfoilhat

Plus he is looking @ civil charges on very credible rape charge and I believe a family member is
suing him for stealing money that was supposed to have been hers. (I might be wrong on the last
thing about a family member suing him)

Forbes: These Billionaires Kept Funding Legislators Who Refused To Certify The Election After Jan. 6

More than 50 billionaires donated in the second half of 2021 to legislators who voted against certifying the presidential election, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission records.

Fifty-five billionaires and 19 spouses of billionaires contributed at least $665,000 to the committees of about one-third of the 147 senators and representatives who voted not to certify, between July and October 2021. Among the donors: Citadel hedge fund titan Ken Griffin, Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman.

Under President Obama we had 2 deaths from Ebola

And now L.A. County has now had 28,000

May 2018 The Trump Administration disbands the White House pandemic response team.

July 2019 The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) epidemiologist embedded in China’s disease control agency left the post, and the Trump Administration eliminated the role.

ttps://doggett.house.gov/media-center/blog-posts/timeline-trumps-coronavirus-responses

After seeing the possible horrific outcome of a pandemic President Obama left the personal, the protocols, and
materials in place that very well might have stopped the virus in China and the very least mitigated its damage.
Trump got rid of those measures and now various republican leaders, Fox News, quack doctors, mouth breathers,
and Christian Evangelicals are working to spread the disease so they can blame Joe Biden for it.

In 22 & 24 (if we are still alive we have to hang C-19 around the republican's neck)

Conspiracy Theory:

On 1/6/21 the Oath Keepers wanted to get into the Congressional Parliamentarian Office to steal the electoral ballots
and the republicans in 7 states had already produced 7 phony electoral ballots and I know that I'm nuttier than a
squirrel but did TFG and his henchmen have plans to try to introduce those forged ballots to replace the ones that the
Oath Keepers stole?

BTW thank God for the Congressional staffers who took the ballots with them as they fled the violence. And yes
I know they had duplicate ballots but TFG and his henchmen would be good with the confusion because they had
plans to call for martial law in the confusion and violence to stop Joe Biden from becoming President.

A simple question about Matthew Gaetz and his former "girlfriend."

If you are paying a woman and giving her drugs to have sex with you, you are 15 years older
then she is, and she is a minor is she really your girlfriend?
