Re: All The Chiefs Texts
I'm changing the title of this thread from "The Trump Post Presidency" to "The Trump Post Presidency and Insurrection". If there are objections or there's a better thread for insurrection discussion please let me know.
A better title: "The Trump Treason and Insurrection".

Re: A huge list of insurrection defendants (justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases)
By my count there were 256 insurrectionists in the US Congress and dozens more in the Whitehouse.

When those fuckers get power again this country is going to become a very scary, unhappy, shithole to live in! I fear for my grandkids, but most for my granddaughter!

Re: Cassidy Hutchinson Testifies Before the January 6th Committee
What struck me, over and over as I watched these Trump supporters testify, is the total lack of outrage at everything that fucking turd did to destroy OUR government and democracy for 4 fucking years. Those people think the only thing he did wrong was Jan. 6.
They are still in the cult.

Re: Democrats Are Breathing Life into Allegations of Widespread Voter Fraud
It is common to hear something like, "There was no widespread voter fraud sufficient to overturn the election," or a variation, "We did not find evidence of widespread fraud that would have affected the outcome."
Yep, that has bothered me too. I think the members of the Jan. 6 committee hearings are making a huge mistake using that phrase rather than pointing out the known cases of voter fraud in the 2020 election. In a quick search I found 15 cases of voter fraud in the 2020 election all committed by single individuals.
The Heritage Foundation - Election Fraud Cases
I am not sure how reliable or trustworthy the Heritage Foundation is, but they maintain a database of voter fraud and they list 15 cases, nation wide, of fraud in the 2020 election.
15 cases that's it, 15 cases. And this is from a conservative organization. It doesn't list party affiliation of the perpetrators, but all the other reporting I have seen list all fraud cases from the 2020 election as perpetrated by Republicans.

Re: Barr Pipes Up
Barr may be more concerned about whether Barr can be prosecuted. Any statement that he makes could be self-serving.
Yep, Barr was in the upper echelons of a treasonous criminal cult. I don't know if he committed any crimes but he sure acted without honor as Attorney General of the United States.

Perhaps you can point to which part of "Oh, FUCK HIM TO HELL!!!!!" says anything about fascists or conservatives. I was expressing my disgust for YOU, period.

No, you're in goosestep with conservatives pointing their shitty finger at progressives, but "Oh, FUCK HIM TO HELL!!!!!" doesn't say anything about THAT either.

Re: To Hell With Phat
I would be curious about your knowledge of what fascism is. If our two political parties were transported to 1930's Germany or Italy I think it would be pretty obvious which party would not fit in. Do you think it is Conservatives or Liberals that have been circulating conspiracy theories of Jewish influence in politics? Which is the most nationalistic of the two parties? Which party is calling for the banning of books in school libraries and the expulsion of gays and transexuals from school systems? Which party continually harkens back to some past society that they think was better than the one now? Which party fears the dilution of America culture by some conspiratorial invasion of outsiders?
And which party is vilifying all the press, except far right media, vilifying federal law enforcement, and attacking any agency that investigates the criminal activities of Trump and his henchmen. Which party are insurrectionists, election deniers, calling for "national divorce", demanding to carry handguns onto the floors of the U.S. Congress, and on and on. This is the same crap the fascists pulled in the 1930s in Germany.

Re: To Hell With Phat
US Conservatives have also fawned all over the leader of the Italian Fascist party who recently became Prime Minister in Italy.
Yeah, it scares the crap out of me to see fascists gain power in countries that were almost destroyed by the same bullshit a few decades ago.
The most chilling for me was watching a whole party calling for "Lock Her Up" without a single shred of evidence of a crime, or even a law that was broken. They actually think challenging them is a crime and insurrection and treason is patriotism!

Trump indicted again
Apparently, Trump has been indicted on 7 counts in the U.S. Southern District of Florida. It's a good thing he has a gold toilet because he's shitting gold bricks right now and I bet he's making everyone anywhere near him really miserable. The first time this lifelong criminal has ever been held accountable for his dishonorable conduct, but I suspect there's a lot more to come! The presidency cannot be a license to commit crimes without consequences, no one is above the law.

Read the Indictment
I just finished reading the indictment. Trump's criminal conspiracy is clearly laid out, but I suspect that he will be acquitted in any trial held in Florida, no matter how obvious his guilt.
I guess those of us who think no one is above the law will just have to be satisfied knowing that Trump is suffering really intense anxiety right now!
