REMINDER from CBS poll: Majority of Republicans view Jan 6 terrorist attack as an "act of PATRIOTISM." 55% of GOP view Jan 6 in a positive light as "Defending Freedom." Now GOP is denouncing the prison sentences for their beloved Proud Boys. Today's GOP is a FASCIST movement.

President Biden’s strategy seems to be to not mention Trump’s crimes

He’s wrong.

One of the special grand jurors in Georgia:

“I tell my wife if every person in America knew every single word of information we knew, this country would not be divided as it is right now.”

Don’t run on policy

The public needs to know

Can anyone tell me when will the jurors full final report be released? Or is the document they are discussing "the indictment" document?

/Cut & Paste from Article/
The grand jurors said they understand why the public release of their full final report needs to wait until Willis makes indictment decisions.

“A lot’s gonna come out sooner or later,” one of the jurors said. “And it’s gonna be massive. It’s gonna be massive.”

    Adam Schiff on disqualifying Trump from running:

    “The 14th Amendment, Section 3 is pretty clear

    “If you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government, or you give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running”

    This should apply to every single republican who aided the insurrection and the big lie.

    Yeah, but isn't helping any of the insurrectionists from the January 6, 2021 failed coup with their legal fees.

    So, Trump is likely using the 14 Amendment as cover to why he won't help his supporters with their legal fee. But really, he is just laughing at all those morons that will go to prison for him and/or continue to excuse his criminal activities.

    I suspect the legislature isn't ashamed for passing unconstitutional laws but they are absolutely ashamed they got caught and might have to find another way to prevent minorities from voting.

    If you are a Florida resident who votes, can you pick how you voted and how you will vote in the future.

    Does anyone believe these wimpy Republicans will stand up to other real and present dangers like domestic/foreign terrorists or Authoritarian Leaders like ?

    Being a strong leader means standing up to all criminals. You can stand up to a 91 felony count ex-president means you have no spine. The entire are spineless cowards.

    It's much easier to pass legislation under the cloak of fear. And of course that fear the GOP stokes turns immediately into hate. No statistics or even rational necessary to craft an unneeded new bill if it help these morons get reelected.

    During the Jan. 6 attack I was on the House floor when rioters broke through the doors and breached the Capitol.

    I heard glass breaking and pounding on the doors and I texted Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our second son at the time, "Whatever happens, I love you."

    To implement your plan would mean many of the potential conservative clerks would clamor to get the "job," because conservatives think of corruption and grifting as a virtue. Just saying.

    But if law school encourage clerks that have real morals, then they could point out the corruption and grifting as it occurs.
