(8,200 posts)They would throw their grandmother down the stairs and laugh themselves sick at the funeral if Trump told to do it. Just watch how they will be willing not vote for his impeachment regardless of the shocking video evidence presented the Senate trial.

(24,375 posts)It looks like some of it is coming from the middle of the mob. My guess it's from phones confiscated from people who have been arrested.

(933 posts)Its a stunning look at the GOPs abdication of their responsibility, of their utter lack of governance and complicity with co-conspirators and its not just the Russians.
Im surprised they didnt bring in complicity with the Russians and the fundamentalists camps in the US. They had about everything else.

(67,112 posts)co-conspirators. Today's GOP vetting ... be a Domestic Terrorist, a Racist and a White Supremacist. A lack of understanding of how the government functions is a big plus combined with delusional thoughts and conspiracies.

(91,047 posts)We could see some of it & knew they were planning a riot.
But we did not know the breadth & depth of the conspiracy. We did not know that Trumps people were monitoring 4chan and 8kun and other denizens of the dark slime.
Im running out of air.

(51,674 posts)"Newly identified payments in recent Federal Election Commission filings show people involved in organizing the protests on Jan. 6 received even larger sums from Trumps 2020 campaign than previously known."
"OpenSecrets unearthed more than $3.5 million in direct payments from Trumps 2020 campaign, along with its joint fundraising committees, to people and firms involved in the Washington, D.C. demonstration before a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol."

(42,775 posts)Pay no attention to them when they say how sorry they are.
Their word is of no value.
And lock up any members of Congress who assisted them.

(1,652 posts)The mob is their base and they hope the mob will go to bat (literally, with bats) for them when they fake-cry "vote fraud."

(7,817 posts)The whole lot of them.
Did anyone else get a "how do you like it now, senate rethugs?" vibe from Representative Swalwell at the end of his presentation? I saw people rubbing their eyes after that.
I also got the feeling from the Delegate from the Virgin Islands (sorry, I couldn't remember her last name) that she could not continue any further and gave it over to Rep Swalwell to continue.
how close we came-how close YOU came
