Former President Trump on Monday swiped at Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who serves as vice chair of the Jan. 6 Select Committee, a day after she signaled that the panel is leaving the door open on possible criminal referrals of Trump to the Justice Department.
The concern trolls trot this out frequently and Cheney’s response is really the only one necessary although I can certainly think of a few others that are less safe for work including a rousing Snake Island salute.
Somebody is due for a coronary embolism
so he repeats the lie about winning the election again, mindbogglingly expanding his rotund ego into realms of claiming the highest popular vote in history
in so repeating the Big Lie, defying his advisors’ repeatedly proving he lost, he continues to make the Committee’s case
he’s joining the “Blame Pelosi” train? Mystifying trying to shimmy shake attention onto they who “failed to protect the Capitol”? “How dare you not stop the attack that I inspired, invited, kickstarted, directed, targeted, celebrated & congratulated!”
they who failed to protect the Capitol? Yam, you mean like you?
I think the most fitting way to end our one piece of our national nightmare is a bolt of lightning, on clear day, on a golf course in FL. Just might do the trick.
I mean how long has it been since we’ve had a good and righteous smiting?
HER Fake Unselect Committee may recommend CRIMINAL CHARGES against a President of the United States who got more votes than any sitting President in history,”
Except for the two who beat him, of course.
Why doesn’t she press charges instead against those that cheated on the Election, or those that didn’t properly protect the Capitol?
At the risk of being called Captain Obvious, isn’t that exactly what she is doing?
From 2016: "Donald Trump lacks the required temperament to hold the office of President of the United States."
Ah, the good ol’ days! and History repeats itself!
No, not on the 4th of July, TPM.
Pardoning Nixon led to entirely too much circumspection around how we handle oval office criminals.
He can have one in prison…not before.
Trump’s rants don’t matter. The actions of the people around him and at the DOJ are what matter. The people around him (meaning those who were aligned with him during his final months in office) are bolting and talking to the committee. I think Mark Meadows will need to be charged, however. You’re not getting anything more out of him. If the DOJ acts, Trump’s rants have no value. If they don’t, then his rants show that he’s still standing and the right will line up behind him. It’s our move, America. Happy 4th, folks. A Republic if you can keep it.
He also got more impeachments than any sitting president in history.
or those that didn’t properly protect the Capitol?” the former president continued.
That would be you, Bozo.
Interesting that he fails to mention that 8 times in his speech he instructed his (armed) cult army to directly break the law: to go on an illegal march to the Capitol.
The march was explicitly illegal. Overarchingly and for each individual marching.
DC § 22-1307 Incommoding https://codes.findlaw.com/dc/division-iv-criminal-law-and-procedure-and-prisoners/dc-code-sect-22-1307.html
The WH Ellipse rally organizers were explicitly forbidden a march within their permit. “Some people may go over” yeah, no. This was a formal march blocking all raods & sidewalks with mass attendance.
Illegal.

It’s not for nothing that Cipollone’s Spidey-sense was on fire trying to get all mention of “go to the Capitol” removed from Yam’s speech. It opened the floodgates to the cornocopia of crimes, showed conscious intent.
Trump knew they were armed. Trump directed them to break the law to go on an illegal march. That’s illegal. He cannot do that. Specifically identifying a target, a chosen people and a direct illegal act escapes Brandenburg protections. He strove to join them on that illegal march. All to trespass on & seize federal grounds to obstruct the Congress’s certification of Electors. That’s sedition.

Ali Alexander’s “Stop The Steal” group was a shadow entity fraudulently applying (and obtaining) permits for separate defined, mapped “Demonstration Areas”, limiting attendees to 50 people, https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/the-capitol-police-said-jan-6-unrest-on-capitol-grounds binding them to Demonstration Areas—
the areas ALL lying outside the fenced Capitol Police perimeters.
Anyone gaining Capitol exterior or interior grounds outside of those defined Demonstration Areas was breaking the law.
As per Detective Scott Brown’s Congression testimony detailing the CPB barriers marking areas closed to the public. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/press-release/file/1355996/download&ved=2ahUKEwi5t_Tyx9_4AhVRjYkEHbl1CTIQFnoECAQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1WxPd92wStJ6DnJx1PdKS7
They applied using names of fraudulent groups, as the CPB in it’s permit contract stipulates that any group can only hold ONE permit for ONE Demonstration Area per day. Ali broke that contract.
About time to get you fitted for that orange jump suit, Donny.
If we (as in We the People of the US, through our legal system and the laws of this country) do not prosecute this criminal and show the world that we do hold our elected officials to a standard of ethical and moral behavior, we will remain the outcast nation that we have become as the result of presidents from Reagan to Trump who have obviously broken laws and gotten away with it. All because of some mythical belief that “presidents” were above the law.
It is entirely true that Fat Donnie Two Impeachments received more votes in 2020 than any other incumbent president in history.
Just not enough votes.
Yup but he needed more.
