Since there hasn't been any earth-shattering puppet evidence coming forward, I grabbed  another article from your list. The first line read, 

 

 Most Americans think that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were president.  

 

No frickin kidding. Thank you.

I have often been baffled by what most Americans think.

If I was a little fish indicted with these clowns, I'd be on the phone looking to plead as well.  We all know who the real target is.  Those who stay on this sinking ship are going to go down with TRUMP.

I don't give a rat's heiney about the tweet itself or what it says.  I just wanted the video of it and it's a pain in the butt just to isolate the video.  I want to be careful about how much storage space I'm using on this server since I'm not the one footing the bill.  So I just prefer to put links up instead of uploading videos themselves.

 

You're correct about the office building though.  I always thought it was technically part of the Capitol building, but it isn't.

 

 

I know.  It doesn't make me feel better about it though.  Even those offices are supposed to be protected. 

 

I'm just thankful that they didn't decide to also smear feces on the walls like whichever animal did before in the same room that past great people have sat and legislated in.  There are desks in there that were brought in from old Philadelphia that the forefathers sat at.  I believe some even carved their names on them as well.

 

 

Tell that to whoever made that tweet.  I don't argue about that day because it was so effed up in so many ways and there is still too much being covered up about it.  It's going to be some time until the full truth of that day comes out.

I should have included that I wasn't excusing what they did. 

 

You would think that a building that houses offices for Congress members and committee rooms would be a bit more secure (that is the purpose of the Cannon Building).  However, due to the fact that it is their offices and committee rooms, there is an element that it needs to be open to the public, and not closed off during regular business days.  Unlike the Capital on Jan. 6th, which was a special session where the Capital is closed to the public.

 

In both cases, there should have been way, way more security.  That being said, these two incidents are not the same.  Apples to oranges.  Both fruit, but different.

I think they are too stupid/arrogant to be nervous. They likely think Trump will help them. 

 

I dunno.....Jenna Ellis was complaining about the lack of financial support several weeks ago.....

 

IMO, anyone that is counting on Donald Trump helping them get out of trouble is a fool. His MO is, and always has been to use people and then discard them, once they are no longer of use....

Here is some details.  Jury selection was set for tomorrow.   So now the clock is ticking on Chesebro, who was also set to be on trial with Powell.

 

https://apnews.com/article/sidney-powell-plea-deal-georgia-election-indictment-ec7dc601ad78d756643aa2544028e9f5

Sidney Powell pleads guilty in case over efforts to overturn Trump’s Georgia loss and gets probation

 

 

She pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors accusing her of conspiring to intentionally interfere with the performance of election duties.

As part of the deal, she will serve six years of probation, will be fined $6,000 and will have to write an apology letter to Georgia and its residents. She also agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.

I was kind of hoping for disbarment as well, but I suppose I can take comfort in the fact that her reputation as a lawyer is completely destroyed and only a desperate fool would hire her now....

Let me tell you what actually would have happened if Donald Trump had been POTUS......

 

He would have tried to broker a deal that had Ukraine ceding territory to Russia.....and Zelenskyy would have told him to fuck off.....

 

Trump would have withheld military funding (again) and the rest of the International community would have jumped in to try and pick up the slack, especisally the other NATO countries. (It's even money as to whether Bone Spurs would have pulled the US out of NATO by this time)

 

Russia would have invaded anyway...Trump and the MAGAts would have stood by and let it happen and there would be many more dead Ukrainian civilians and more live Russian soldiers....

There's also a non-zero chance that Trump would have tried to aid Russia and invade from the West.

Hard to really tell what's going on right now. Word is there is a plan to make Shorty the interim Speaker if possible. Then that gets shot down. Story making the rounds that a Congressman lunged at Matt Gaetz. Gaetz said the guy was "animated"

 

Rumours Gym Jordan is throwing his hat back in the ring. What an absolute circus. P.T. Barnum couldn't have cooked this up.

It's really too bad that there aren't a half dozen principled Republicans who would back Jeffries and get Congress back to work....
