After reminding the crowd that the election was stolen from them, Trump told the angry crowd on Jan. 6,More good news for the Republican Party as it distances itself from Donald Trump, his Big Lie, and the repercussions of his speech inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6.
Because of the huge volume of testimony, videos, and documents, the Jan. 6 select committee will be able to determine that many of Trump close associates participated in an insurrection, whose purpose it was to overthrow the will of the American people, reject the electoral votes of certain states Trump lost, and install Trump as the President. Some of those associates are current members of Congress.In the court of public opinion, as the election grows near, that is sufficient in determining whether the Republican Party deserves control of Congress.
It is so typical of far right Republicans (Fox) to create a bogus issue as though it was coming from the press, then debunk the bogus issue they created. This is true of the Rittenhouse ordeal, during which the vigilante killed two men and wounded a third, then was exonerated by the Kenosha jury.For the first time in American history a jury approved of vigilante justice enforced by assault rifles, as a Wisconsin jury declared Kyle Rittenhouse innocent of all charges. Rittenhouse killed two men and wounded another as he was defending the town ... or so he said. Far right extremists across the country are cheering madly. Rittenhouse is their hero.
I proved my point in post #783..The farmers and rural shop keepers in the rural counties of America, the heartland of the Republican Party, know little about all of this. Moreover, they don't want to know. If they check on the news at all, it is with right wing media sites that tell them want they want to hear, not what they should learn. All they have is their dumb loyalty to Trump. They don't even know why.
Matters are progressing well with the Jan. 6 select committee as they pursue Trump and others for participating in an insurrection against our government. Now the committee is going after the terrorists loyal to President Trump.After reminding the crowd that the election was stolen from them, Trump told the angry crowd on Jan. 6,
“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to show strength. You have to be strong.
When you catch somebody in a fraud, you are allowed to go by very different rules. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore!”
It is quite interesting that a jury in the south ruled in favor of the victims of white supremacy (Charlottesville), and a nearly all white jury in the deep south convicted three white men for killing a black man, while a jury in the north, Kenosha, Wisconsin to be exact, ruled in favor of a vigilante who killed two men with an assault rifle. Because of Wisconsin's open carry law, the 17-year old vigilante could not even be charged with illegal possession of a firearm, an AR-15 assault rifle to be specific.So, a visitor comes to Kenosha, placing himself in harm's way by arming himself with a fully loaded assault rifle and walking down a city street. Then he is attacked by those who want to remove the AR-15 from the outsider, and the outsider claims he was defending himself. The Kenosha jury agreed with the outsider and freed him.
That statement was written on Wednesday. Then came Black Friday. Pun intended.Notwithstanding inflation, once again, it is a mystery as to why so many Americans think the economy is doing badly.
The Dow fell 2.53%, to 34,899, while the Nasdaq fell 2.23%, to 15,492, and the S&P tumbled 2.27% to 4,595.
We may already be seeing recovery from the downturn of the stock market on Black Friday.Word of advice from an older and wiser investor with 40 years worth of lessons. The best thing to do is to do absolutely nothing. Don't sell. Don't change a thing, which is a form of selling. Do nothing, nada.
It will all come back and more. If it doesn't -- which is like saying the sun won't rise -- you got more to worry about than your investments.
In September of 2018 "U.S. President Donald Trump took his enthusiasm for his detente with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to new heights, declaring at a rally with supporters that “we fell in love” after an exchange of letters.
“I was really being tough - and so was he. And we would go back and forth,” Trump told the rally in West Virginia.
“And then we fell in love, okay? No, really - he wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters,” he said.
Interesting. The forum's Republicans want no part in this thread.What executive privilege? There is no executive privilege. The current President has ruled out executive privilege on this matter. A private citizen, the former President, cannot overrule the current President. Meadows and his lawyer are making a vain attempt to save face. Executive privilege will have no role in these investigations.
Even if Trump could claim executive privilege, there is none. Executive privilege concerns the protection of the office, national security, and the Constitution. Trump is only interested in protecting himself.
See what I mean. The omicron variant is playing havoc with the markets. The Dow is off 652 today, Nasdaq is down 245, and the S&P is down 88.We may already be seeing recovery from the downturn of the stock market on Black Friday.
That said, I dislike writing about what the stock market might do.
Turns out the Republicans were just being jerks. A lot of that going on with the GOP lately.NBC continued, "Republicans in the House and the Senate have signaled that they want to delay passage of a spending bill over objections to the Biden administration's Covid-19 vaccination mandates for workers.
"The conservative caucus in essence is threatening a potential shutdown to push back against Biden's vaccination mandates."
