America has the worst and best of everything. I’m not sure it will survive the current assaults on truth and justice, but not everyone there is a fat-bellied racist who wears his dick on an ammo belt. There are plenty of good people, beautiful places, things worth cherishing. I think you are speaking from ignorance and prejudice. 

The New York Times - As G.O.P. Blocks Inquiry, Questions on Jan. 6 Attack May Go Unanswered

today

WASHINGTON - In blocking the formation of an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Republicans in Congress have all but closed off the possibility of a full and impartial accounting for one of the most serious assaults on American democracy in history, leaving unanswered critical questions with broad implications for politics, security and public trust.

 

Fearing political damage from any sustained scrutiny of the attack, Republicans united in large numbers against the inquiry, moving to shift an unwelcome spotlight away from former President Donald J. Trump, his election lies that fueled the attack, and the complicity of many G.O.P. lawmakers in amplifying his false claims of widespread voter fraud.

 

The result is that key details about a shocking act of domestic extremism against the United States government are likely to remain shrouded in mystery, and anything new that may be revealed about the assault at the Capitol will most likely be viewed through a partisan lens, with a substantial proportion of the country rejecting the reality of what transpired.

 

The public may never know precisely what Mr. Trump and members of his administration did or said as a throng of his supporters stormed the Capitol while Congress met to formalize President Biden’s victory, threatening the lives of lawmakers and the vice president. 

 

The full story may never be revealed of why security officials were so unprepared for the breach of the building, supposedly one of the most secure in the nation, despite ample warnings of potential violence. 

 

The extent of the role of Republican lawmakers closely allied with Mr. Trump in planning the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally that spiraled into a brutal onslaught may remain unexplored. ...

Amen,brother.

But I'd go to the USA, on certain conditions:

1) Prepaid fares and suitable passports.

2) Prepaid accommodation at Mar-a-Logo.

3) Special tailored suit containing artificial hands loaded with latest Russian nerve toxin.

4) Personal introduction to Trump by Kevin McCarthy, confirming my status as a trusted fellow traveler.

5) Foolproof getaway plan.

6) Very large fee, although I might even do it pro bono.

The Washington Post cites an anonymous source as saying Trump didn't like the blog as it was being mocked and had few readers.

 

HA HA! :D poor diddums.

Is this crap going to go anywhere? Or is he just listening to people that tell him what he wants to hear (ie, "you really won the election" and "it was stolen from you") and therefore wasting time and money proving again and again that he lost? He must have some real hangers-on around him, drinking the Trump Kool-Aid.

I hope Trump remains narrowly fixated on the election results and obsessed with trying to change them. The Retrumplicans have hung all their hopes on him. The more his grasp on reality crumbles, and his cognitive abilities decline, the better for the world. 

Powerful stuff ...   😗

The Washington Post - Opinion - Republican senators’ failure to investigate Jan. 6 is worse than their impeachment performance

by George T. Conway III*

today

Republican senators have managed to outdo themselves in cowardice - which is quite a feat.

 

Last week’s Senate vote blocking a national commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol was even more appalling than either of the Senate’s impeachment trial acquittals of former president Donald Trump.

 

With few exceptions, Senate Republicans shirked their duties at both trials, despite the oaths they took to defend the Constitution, and, in an impeachment trial, to “do impartial justice.”

 

These derelictions were especially apparent in the first impeachment trial. 

 

Faced with overwhelming evidence that Trump had used his official powers to try to coerce a foreign nation into aiding his reelection campaign, all but one Republican (Utah’s Mitt Romney) voted to acquit him, even as the senators refused to call witnesses.

 

They betrayed their oaths again in February, when 43 of the 50 Republican senators voted to acquit Trump of inciting the insurrection, even though he had largely committed his high crime openly, on television and Twitter, and even though the senators themselves were among the victims.

 

They acquitted him even though they surely recognized, as their own leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), blisteringly said on the floor on Feb. 13 after voting to acquit, that Trump had engaged in a “disgraceful - disgraceful - dereliction of duty." 

 

Rather than “do his job,” McConnell said, Trump “watched television happily - happily - as the chaos unfolded,” hoping “to either overturn the voters’ decision or else torch our institutions on the way out.” ...

 

... They quiver in fear of the man who cost them the presidency and both houses of Congress. 

 

As they continue to quake, the “big lie” cancer upon democracy grows, with spurious election audits in pursuit of fantasies of fraud, and with some insanely claiming - reportedly including Trump himself - that he’ll be “reinstated” in due course.

 

Four years of Trump have led to the Republican Party becoming a threat to democracy, a declining sect dominated by crackpots, charlatans and cowards.

 

Of these, it’s the cowards, including the senators who killed last week’s legislation, who bear the most blame.

The problem is the truth and facts don't matter. Have a read about the company doing the audit. I have no doubt they will comclude that their was voter fraud based on highly questionable "evidence" they discover, because that is what they are trying to find. They aren't even close to being impartial, but all the Trumpists will hear is that they determined it was fraud.

Its strategy - he knows he lost. He's said he's getting "re-instated" in August, lol. When it doesn't happen, more riots to feed his ego and keep his party in check through fear.
