January 6 Committee eviscerates Trump

[Mac1958]

He picked their pockets for $250 million dollars. but that doesn`t mean they quit sending him money.

Just as we were saying at the time. Here come the lawsuits.

 

[Mac1958]

Every person that testified worked for Trump, they testified Trump knew he was going to lose before the election, and told Trump there was no fraud they could find, and told by ALL that he lost the election and was told the lies he was telling about being stolen, by Dominion Voting Systems, Hugo Chavez, Italy, Germany, Israeli space lasers, bamboo paper ballots from China, truckloads of ballot stuffers crossing state lines, Ballots stuffed from suitcases under table crud, 2000 mules ballot harvesting, water leaks, ballots in garbage dumpster, 8000 dead people voted in PA, , etc etc etc were all bull shit!!! And proven to be false, by his own Republican staff and campaign.

He continued lying anyway.... All his real campaign lawyers refused to bring his claims before the courts because it would break their oaths as lawyers, so Trump got 3rd rate lawyers like Powell, and Lynn, Ellis, and cronies like Giuliani to do the crooked work, and now they are all paying for it with reprimand and chances of Suspending their law licences...

And a whole nuther page of the book is that Trump was doing it for money, grifting thru deceitful measures.

We learned from all of Trump campaign lawyers and staff, that Trump was made aware by all of them, that the election was NOT STOLEN....

These were not democrats, but his own people.

George Conway (R-Horrified) made an absolutely fascinating point this morning.

He said that "Trump forces you to make a choice". If you choose against him, you're out and he goes after you with everything he has, and he knows the cult will join him. If you choose with him, he's dragging you further down the rabbit hole and you have to start lying.

And look at how this applies from his family, through his staff, through top politicians, through state politics, through MAGA media, all the way down through the street-level rubes.

And notice -- they're all with him until they're under oath. It couldn't be more obvious.

That really hit me. It explains the TDS that has consumed the GQP.

Duh? When people have to choose between putting gas in their car so they can get to work or food on the table for their families...they blame the people in charge! That's you liberals, Who Me! When they are afraid to walk the streets because criminals are allowed to run wild...they blame the people in charge! That's you liberals, Who Me! When millions of illegals are pouring across the southern border...they blame the people who looked the other way and let it happen! When record numbers of people are dying from a drug epidemic brought about by that open border policy...they blame those who let it happen!

You're obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed, Who Me so I'll keep this as simple as I can!

If you don't change the narrative to something other than how bad Democrats are running this country into the ground...you're going to lose seats in the mid terms in a historic fashion!

So GOP have take money hand over fist from OIL lobby for decades and introduce legislation and access to land for decades...

when they decide to stop pump producing it is now Democrats fault....

We have tried to explain this numerous times... Oil is a global commodity... All Oil produced in US, does not belong to the US Government or people... It belongs to a multinational oil company who will sell it to who they like.. This is what the lobbyists paid for...

So you want to stop the investigation of former President who tried to nullify a election in US...

It is becoming clear that Trump has questions to answer in relation to breaking the law. Even pressuring Pence is breaking the law...

What came clear was that many of the senior WH staff were not backing his claims for Mass Election fraud... Trump looks like he went shopping for anyone to back his belief... The problem is that the law doesn't care what Trump's beliefs are, they don't care that he thinks he won the election, what witnesses from the WH staff is describing a crime which Trump was involved in...

It is not political to have a criminal investigation... I would be asking why he wouldn't arrested and charged with possibly:

• Criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States​

• Obstruction of an official proceeding​

• Common law fraud​

• Dereliction of duty​

Could anyone from the left explain why you would need teleprompters for a committee conducting testimony?

No.

What is striking about the disparate views concerning the January 6 assault on Congress and the unsupported claim of a stolen "Landslide!" that incited it is how Americans are now confronted with an official congressional investigation scrupulously and methodically presenting factual data featuring the sworn testimony of many within the Trump regime with first-person knowledge of the prelude to, the unfolding of, and the aftermath of the attack.

On the other hand, you have desperate claims that the repugnant mob were not actually Trump goons, but were antifa, BLM, or ordinary tourists, with an eerie resemblance to Trump goons, hundreds of whom were identified, apprehended, indicted, and prosecuted.

You have recounts, audits, and dozens of court appeals, none of which supported the self-serving fantasy of a stolen "Landslide!"

There are no challenges to the 2020 presidential election that Biden won by a margin of over 7 million votes, 306-232 electoral votes certified by all 50 states, Nowhere is even the most zealous Trump partisan politician or prosecutor able to contrive a pretext that satisfies the minimal evidentiary requirements to do so.

The hardcore "Trump won" fantasists have been relegated to the realm of ideological entertainment media where notions far too fantastical for litigation are hyped with uncritical abandon.

For some, That's Entertainment!

I'm an agnostic, Mac. Want to try again? (eye roll)

I'm atheist. A new wave of Christian White Nationalist Theocratic authoritarianism is the goal here. Do keep up.

 

[CowboyTed]

You actually voted for Biden? God are you a naive fool!

I know some people just won't vote for a criminal because he has his own cult..

Very true. It's like being in the mob, if you decide to leave, your dead.....that is, after they've killed your dog or horse or child or wife first.

 

[Mac1958]

No.

Pretty interesting to observe how animated they are about these hearings. The hearings they also say are about nothing.

The orange buffoon himself wrote a 12-page "response" after yesterday's hearing.

I guess that tells us all we need to know. A lot of this stuff can't be brushed away with lies. We'll see.

Trump learned from Roy Cohn, remember. He's been running this like a mob family from Day One.

Facts usually make the bloated one livid.

Facts usually make the bloated one livid.

And it's been amazing to watch the contrast between (a) bullshitting in public to stay on Trump's good side, and (b) having to get serious when you're under oath.

This whole charade only gets more obvious with time.

 

[Oldestyle]

I never thought you could cram that much bullshit in to one post.

Apparently, you can.

What in that post was "bullshit"?
Apparently, you can make sweeping comments that you back up with NOTHING!

 

[Care4all]

What's enlightening about all of this is that it revealed how unscrupulous and swampy the Republicans have shown themselves to be....that spat on their constitutional oaths, and did an about face to follow the liar n chief, just because they wanted to stay in office and not experience The Wrath of Don and his minions, and for the money Trump controlled....for their own personal gain....they sold their souls to Satan.... All out in the open, with no shame for their reversals on 1/6....and in faux blind support, for the Big Lie.

Yuk yuk yuk!

Weak, unethical and moral compass lacking people like that, should never hold office! They can be bought, by foreign enemies or domestic!

 

[Hellbilly]

What in that post was "bullshit"?

The same tired shit you fools always say.

 

[Oldestyle]

No Problem working off a script... They are not leaving this to chance...

They wrote down what they wanted to say and now they are saying it...

The research has been done, this is about preparation and not half assing it..

This is how actual competent people behave... I do presentations all my working life and you can see from my notes in presentations (when they are important) I leave very little out...

Presentation (and Meetings) are not for thinking, they for communication... This is how real business is done not crap on the TV...

There is a HUGE difference between notes and reading your lines off of a teleprompter, Ted! Competent people aren't afraid to defend their contentions. The people on that committee aren't competent or they wouldn't need to use teleprompters like they are. It's embarrassing to watch.

 

[Oldestyle]

The same tired shit you fools always say.

Do I need to spell this out for you? SPECIFICALLY...what in that post wasn't factual? If you can't answer that very simple question...then don't bother coming here with YOUR bullshit!

You don’t get to tell me what to do.
THAT ship has sailed.

You divert from the topic again. The topic pertains to the torching of Trump by the Jan 6th committee. The torching thus far has been by Republicans and Trump appointees.

If you must talk gas prices, how do explain the even greater rate of inflation on gas in the European countries?

• In Europe, drivers are faring even worse, with Global Petrol Prices showing $7.70 per gallon in the UK, $8.25 per gallon in Germany in some areas and over $9 per gallon in Norway and Denmark. Norway topped $9.6 per gallon on Wednesday, compared to Finland, which was nearing the $9 mark, and the Baltic country of Estonia was over $7.7 per gallon.

Why are gas prices higher in Europe? Ah...let's think...because they were higher BEFORE Joe Biden decided to knee cap US energy production? Because they made the idiotic choice of buying from Russia and are now screwed because they're being shamed into not buying from Russia because of what Putin is doing in Ukraine? Here's a novel idea! How about we don't take our energy cues from countries that put themselves in that position! How about we have an energy independent US so we can do the right thing with the Saudis, Iran and Venezuela instead of being forced to go to them on our knees? Duh?

So you CAN'T answer! Thanks for showing your true colors, IdiotBilly!

 

[Oldestyle]

Why do people like Billy even bother coming here?
