Whatever Meadows did after learning of intelligence concerns about possible insurrectionist violence you can be certain he did nothing designed to protect the nation or the constitution.

Love it when mountains of incriminating evidence turns into mole hills of weak ass canoodling…we may all rue the day when this legal jamboree turned into another incident of turn the other cheek…the rot has progressed well beyond the prospect that top level perps will face justice.

Whoa.

How will the home town crowd feel about this? I think we already know what Utah’s other senator thinks.

There seems to be this weird thing where people on the left actually think that the Mormons give a shit about adhering to the tenets of their faith instead of just being patriarchal racists like the rest of the white right.

There is no question that the people of Utah will not give a shit about Mike Lee being a blatant liar in the can for Trump.

We have known all of this since January 7, 2021. And the goddamned Democrats have been diddling and playing with themselves over it for nearly 16 months now. There will be zero consequences, and the next time the coup will be a rousing success. Major battleground states led by Republicans will nullify any votes they don’t like in Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Missouri. It will all stink of corrupt, fetid legalese and they’ll put down the angry mobs with violence. America will cease to exist on Tuesday, November 5 2024.

Memories fade and it is important to see the names in the testimony. Apparently, Marjorie Taylor Greene has no recollection of going to the WH.

If any Christians, Mormons, Catholics, etc. gave a single hoot about the teachings of their faiths, they would be Democrats - the party that generally tries to do what’s good for the common man, even if imperfectly. And I’m pretty sure that their holy books do not differentiate wrt race, ethnicity, etc. when prescribing assistance and respect for others.

She “remembers” meeting with Trump, she just doesn’t “remember” anything of what was said.

Mark Twain on meeting Brigham Young:

The second day, we … put on white shirts and went and paid a state visit to the king. He seemed a quiet, kindly, easy-mannered, dignified, self-possessed old gentleman of fifty-five or sixty, and had a gentle craft in his eye that probably belonged there.

Interesting, too, that she was already plotting the overthrow of a duly elected president before she even took her seat. Makes me wonder exactly who set her up to run.

Mitt Romney seems to. He can’t be the only one.

Was this the meeting that MTG was shown blathering about in one of her best own-goals on Friday? Seems the plot is thickening nicely here. I’m thinking late Summer is going to be lit.

God-Emperor Trump will crush us all! We, who are helpless to do so much as breathe are all doomed to watch as all good people or the world are literally trodden into dust, while the oligarchical overlords escape justice for their treasons and Merrick the Mild personally eliminates all taxation for the wealthy. WE ARE DOOOOOOOMMMEDSDDDD!

And with that, all your future posts are rendered irrelevant.
