A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
The House Jan. 6 Committee released more new footage of witness testimony on Tuesday, with this particular clip coming from testimony from former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller on whether Trump had ordered troops to be ready protect the Capitol on Jan. 6.
All this news is good for TFG.
Oh yeah, it’s going down!! Trump is being scrutinized!! Hard times are coming!! It’s gonna get bad!! He’s in the crosshairs!! No stopping Garland now!! He’s on a roll!!
“Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) organizer Matt Schlapp isn’t all that bothered by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktkor Orbán declaring that he wanted to prevent the Hungarian population from becoming a “mixed race,” and still plans on unrolling the red carpet for the anti-democratic leader as a keynote speaker at CPAC anyway.”
Bothered? Hell, after the “no mixed race” comment Orban will be able to double his speaking fee.
“Investigators in the Justice Department’s Jan. 6 probe have been asking witnesses about Trump’s role in the scheme to steal the 2020 election. Prosecutors also obtained phone records of top Trump White House officials and staffers in April, according to the Post and the Times. However, none of this necessarily means the DOJ has opened a criminal investigation into the ex-president.”
None of it means they haven’t, either.
Perhaps TMFWWNBN will plagiarize his speech.
We can neither confirm nor deny. Blah blah blah.
One asshat says 20,000. Another asshat says 10,000.
Orban probably has a special secret bonus clause for every time he “accidentally” let’s slip with a racist slur.
According to Heather Cox Richardson’s latest report, one of Orban’s closest aides resigned after he gave this speech:
On July 15 the European Commission announced that it would sue Hungary over an anti-LGBTQ law and its refusal to renew the license of a broadcaster critical of the government, and today one of Hungarian president Viktor Orbán’s longtime advisors resigned over what she called his recent “pure Nazi” speech about “mixed-race” nations. “I don’t know how you didn’t notice that the speech you delivered is a purely Nazi diatribe worthy of Joseph Goebbels,” she wrote. And yet, Orbán is still scheduled to speak next month at the August 4 meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas.
Because he gives them what they want to hear
… it isn’t an “accident” or an “oversight”
He is spewing racist propaganda porn … and they are hot for it! In fact they just can’t get enough!
So charge Chris Miller with perjury.
You mean to say Donald Trump is a liar??? …sigh…
AG Garland needs to study Takeda Shingen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fūrinkazan.
You hold back your forces until the moment is right and then move with great speed and power. These little, noncommital statements aren’t doing anyone any good.
OK, who is lying? My guess is Meadows and Trump. The only reason Trump would have had troops ready on Jan 6 would be to declare martial law and shut down the Congress. Meadows is nearly as big of a pathological liar as Trump. That leaves Miller as the one telling the truth but how could you trust anyone Trump appointed?
I had a pretty low opinion of the GOP before. However, as I have previously commented, I was still amazed by the speed at which it went full White nationalist.
Ethnographically speaking, if you did an Ancestry.com “24 and Me” DNA test on the present Hungarian population, I’m pretty sure you’d find it already one of the most “mixed-race” nations of the World!
Drip, drip, drip
Tick tock tick
