The documentary video and the police officer testimony should make every republican defending trump ashamed. Only the truest of cult members are gonna be able to write all of that off.

I think there are at least 250 cult members, by your definition, in the current Legislative branch. Congressional Republicans are incapable of shame

That Kevin McCarthy can walk into the Capitol past officers like Caroline Edwards who put their lives on the line to protect him, and yet he still protect trump; makes him one of the worst cunts to ever disgrace a political office.

Back to TDub’s assertion on polarization and division, how can anyone, in good conscience, defend the actions of the majority of Republicans currently in office? What redeeming quality do they possess?

The same way that Jack DelRio can call Jan 6th just a "dust up".


“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

― Isaac Asimov

A national lifeguard shortage is getting more coverage on FoxNews.com than yesterday's Jan 6th hearing.

Del Rio came out officially as a piece of shit when he attacked Otis Taylor during the NFL players strike back in the 80's.

They seem to be covering it live today.

Bill Barr laughing after mentioning the "2000 Mules" "documentary" was pretty funny.

He states the obvious, that he thinks trump was "detached" from reality.

[ousdahl]

what's this about a criminal indictment?

Bill Barr's comic gold is at the 14:26 mark. I hope sQuirt doesn't see this, contact with reality is probably tough for him.

Good to know that if I turn to Fox News I can get current news and not the ad nauseam Jan 6th stuff. Jus sayin’.

[jhawks99]

I can imagine that the Jan 6 stuff does upset you.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Probably doesn't upset him as much as our former (before Trump) President being a Black Mooooslum who wasn't born in the USA.

i hope all of those involved get what they got coming.

but i am not going to glue myself to the television while the politicians grandstand and blubberyap endlessly into oblivion.

it's summertime in Michigan.

There won't be any. The Justice Department is too scared of lighting that fire.

Agreed. I have no interest in sitting and watching this. I'll wait for the smart people to go through it and see what is important and then I'll do some research after the fact. There really is no point to this other than to build a chest full of details in case Trump runs for office again. The American people who aren't delusional know what happened. The people who support Trump don't care or don't believe any of it, no matter how clear it is that it happened. They simply refuse.

imo, this isn’t just about trump

I guess I will set aside my pessimism once I see one of these traitorous GOP politicians that enabled this get voted out of office for their role. I won't hold my breath.

i get it

and i don’t necessarily think anything will come of it as far as jackasses being voted out, but i do think that possibility is at least part of the motivation
