Better yet, we should just change Election Day to Jan 6th so all Republican votes get deleted.Unfortunately, with the way the Republican party is going, my vote will be deleted.

In this day and age, it's a start...I'll take it.Assuming they manage to convict Trump of mishandling federal documents, that bars him from every holding federal office again.
I want him held accountable for his coup, simply barring him from office is aiming too low.
I have no idea what's true or who's lying or whatever. What I do know is it was highly suspect when Trump fired all of those high ranking officials in the Pentagon and installed a bunch of yes men with only a month left in his administration. IIRC, he replaced the top 4 people in the Pentagon with his people after the election.
I guess this goes here. Claims proof of the coup attempt. I'm not spending $5 on a book just to be let down though. I do think it's quite possible, likely even, that he's on the right track. However, I doubt this is ever proven in court unless multiple rats flip for deals. Twitter thread is an interesting read nonetheless.
I don't think he was ever going to hold a federal office other than President, and it doesn't bar him from that.Assuming they manage to convict Trump of mishandling federal documents, that bars him from every holding federal office again.

This is what history will remember and those Republican members of Congress who enabled Trump and went along withe the big lie will definitely be remembered as cowards.Lies, Politics and Democracy | FRONTLINE

Thanks for posting this MT -- this should be pinned and read by allThis is very persuasive:
Yes, It Was an Attempted Coup
Calling it anything else undermines the gravity of what happened on Jan. 6theunpopulist.substack.com

One egregious dereliction of duty at a time pleaseAny idea when the next hearing is?
Haven't seen anything. I am guessing here, but with so many different criminal investigations into him and his "people" I think we'll be seeing a big one towards the end of the month. They have so much evidence against him to sift through now. Plus, as more folks are running scared, I think they're overwhelmed a little with the volume coming in.Any idea when the next hearing is?
If the DOJ investigation is going to take a couple weeks off of the stolen and lost classified documents it would be a good time to resume the hearings.Any idea when the next hearing is?
Is it still a crime to attempt a coup if it fails? Asking for a friend.This is very persuasive:

"I can say that unless something else develops, this hearing at this point is the final hearing. But it's not in stone becausethingspolls happen," he said.

The House passes the Presidential Election Reform Act, which reforms the Electoral Count Act, by a vote of 229-203.
Every Democrat voted for the measure. Nine Republicans voted for it; 194 Republicans voted against it.
Of course Republicans won't vote for it because it will make it harder for them to steal elections.Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen

Quick phone interview. Remember a bunch of cabinet members quit.Not sure if this has been investigated by the Select committee but this story will be running this weekend on 60 minutes. The interview Is with former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman from Virginia about a telephone call made from a unknown person in the White House to a known rioter when the riot was taking place January 6th.
Riggleman: White House switchboard called a Capitol rioter on January 6 | 60 Minutes
Denver Riggleman, a former Jan. 6 committee staffer, told 60 Minutes there is evidence a call was made from the White House to a rioter.www.cbsnews.com
I'm sure it will be mentioned in some fashion. Saw something today (take with a grain of salt) that it was Meadows who called the insurrectionist.Do we think Wednesday's hearing will cover or address the Rigglemen stuff from 60 Minutes? Hard to imagine it won't.
Seems strange anyone in the White House would use the switch board operator to make the call....why not on their own cell phone?I'm sure it will be mentioned in some fashion.

Because then it's a specific person. This way all they (allegedly) have is "it's coming from inside the house!!!!!!!"Seems strange anyone in the White House would use the switch board operator to make the call....why not on their own cell phone?I'm sure it will be mentioned in some fashion.

You're right. No one in the previous admin would do anything "strange". BTW- I see now they have a Meadows text, not a call. Still more coming out. Can't wait for tomorrow's public disclosures.Seems strange anyone in the White House would use the switch board operator to make the call....why not on their own cell phone?I'm sure it will be mentioned in some fashion.

Meadows isMeadows is testifying in front of a grand jury in GA today for that state investigation
Disgusting. And even worse when so many people refuse to acknowledge the obvious.Stone, "let's skip the vote and get right to the violence."
