quickymart: ... Trump fully intends to do what he did again, just next time around with more pliable actors.

 

He's also reportedly getting quite worried about Ron (not Jeremy, the other one):

This is quite telling. If all of these enablers of Trump's election fraud really believed what they were doing was legit and all above board (ie, not illegal), why would they be seeking a pardon from him?

The Washington Post - Lawmakers on Jan. 6 committee ramp up their security as threats increase

June 22

In the past 24 hours, there has been an uptick in the number of violent threats against lawmakers on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and all lawmakers on the committee are likely to receive a security detail ...

 

Over the weekend, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) revealed a letter addressed to his wife that threatened to execute them and their 5-month-old baby. ...

 

This is what the "God Fearing" far-right has sunk to.  🙁

The person that wrote that letter isn't really the sharpest knife in the drawer. Maybe he sees himself as a wannabe-Zodiac or something.

Regrettably, it was probably written by a woman. 

Sideface:

And again the far-right misinterprets and hypocritises the phrase "God Fearing" and "Christian" (google it) to broadcast their twisted and hateful messages.

Yet another former hotshot lawyer who thought he was a bigwig and could overturn an election starts to feel the walls closing in on him.

Just like John Eastman, what's the bet Trump hangs this guy out to dry? "Oh I don't know him...or barely know him...". It's only a matter of time.

One of this clown's BFF's saw fit to give him a job afterwards, and tweeted some bs about him "only investigating election fraud". I don't think "attempting a coup" is the same thing. A number of the responses aren't overly supportive of him, either; the rest are diehard Trumpers with lines like "it was election fraud!" or "it wasn't a coup!": https://twitter.com/russvought/status/1540018849478836227

5 takeaways from Thursday’s hearing by the Jan. 6 committee:

 

 

1. It was the most blatant attempt to use the Justice Department for political ends at least since Watergate.
   
   
2. The heart of the scheme was a draft letter to officials in Georgia.
   
   
3. Trump would not give up on his claims of fraud.
   
   
4. Trump considered naming a loyalist lawyer as a special counsel.
   
   
5. Members of Congress sought pardons - and Trump considered the requests.

 

BBC News - Capitol riot hearing: Trump election challenge 'a murder-suicide pact'

today

US government lawyers threatened to quit en masse as then-President Donald Trump hounded them almost daily to help overturn his 2020 election defeat, a congressional inquiry has heard.

 

Justice department officials said they told Mr Trump there was zero evidence for his claims of mass voter fraud.

 

The attorneys also testified that the president's plan to reverse his loss in key states was "a murder-suicide pact".

EDIT  From The NY Times:

The USA is disintegrating even quicker than I thought it would.

20 more years of decisions like this should just about do it.

The Times of London:

"Pro-life" until the baby is born. After that Republicans want no public healthcare, no food in schools, no vaccines and so on.
