I am no fan of Mike Pence. And I hate to think of what the mob would've done to him if they'd gotten their hands on him. #Jan6thCommittee

Given that Merrick Garland is currently head of the DOJ, I'm optimistic that there will be further charges.

I hope so, anyway. Fingers crossed. Praying to the gods I almost believe in: Themis & her daughter Dike, the Erinyes, & clear-eyed Athena... #Jan6thCommittee

OK I just read up a bit & learned that a Congressional investigation committee doesn't have the power or authority to bring criminal charges itself. It can recommend such to the DOJ after an investigation is complete, however. After that, the ball is in the DOJ's court. #Jan6thCommittee

@dawnyriver Yeah. I grasp that intellectually, I just keep getting surprised by how much more awful TFG & his supporters are, again & again.

I try to take that as a good sign, that I'm not personally capable of imagining worse... :/

WHAAAAAAT. Trump used campaign donations to try to bribe Jan. 6th witnesses??

OK fucking hell. There really is no bottom, is there. #Jan6thCommittee

Oh shit, now they're bringing up where Trump's campaign donation $$$ went... did they bring this up before? I don't remember... #Jan6thCommittee

OK I don't know who took the picture of the Capitol rotunda framed by the hangman's scaffold & noose, but it's chilling. #Jan6thCommittee

I mean, what happens next after this? Beyond performing a thorough investigation of the #Jan6thInsurrection & recommending further actions, what can they do? #Jan6thCommittee

I wonder if anything will come of these hearings - any real accountability for Trump, that is. #Jan6thCommittee

January 6th, 2021 - hard to believe it's been almost 2 years. #Jan6thCommittee

And so it begins... #Jan6thCommittee

In unison, without hesitation, they both replied: "This. This is worse."

Not even a year into his term & already TFG's political shenanigans were *worse* than the Watergate scandal. Think about that.

Ukraine was the first scandal of the term but wasn't the first time TFG had been an utter shitheel. My folks lived through the Watergate scandal of the 1970s so I asked them: which was worse, Watergate or TFG?

When TFG started his term as POTUS, & the Ukraine scandal broke just a few months in, I spoke to my boomer parents about it.

They're far more conservative than I am, but recognized Trump for exactly who & what he was, so never supported him. 1/

Listening to Bell I'm understanding that there are a looooot of ppl out there who are a few sandwiches short a picnic.

Listening to old episodes of Art Bell while I work. This shit is hilarious.

I love stories of the paranormal & all kinds of weird shit. Don't believe in the supernatural for a cold minute. It's an odd contradiction.
