This feels like a fitting time to remember that five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6, died

This isn't anywhere near the most important point, but it's *fascinating* to me that neither Acting Secretary Miller nor Chairman Milley seemed to have raised any hackles about taking instructions from Vice President Pence — who's not *anywhere* in the chain of command...
"Donald Trump's conduct... was a supreme violation of his oath of office." Will recommend changes to laws and policies to guard against this happening again, and must because Trumpism hasn't gone away.
Kinzinger: "Laws mean nothing without public servants dedicated to the rule of law." People MUST demand character and truth from our lawmakers or lose our great experiment.
@Jezibaba ...supplemented with video from Fox News!
@Jezibaba Thank you again.
Much appreciated x
@Jezibaba please don't make fun of me but I have been trying to get myself back together so I've been away from the world for a while, but... Here goes
What's the end game with these? Can there be legal consequences from these hearings or are they just informative only? I hate how much information is out there but nothing happens from it all?
@Luzah I would never make fun of you. I hope that you are finding your way back. The end game with these hearings is to get the Republican base to understand exactly what happened on January 6th. Many of them are either completely unaware or believing the lies about the 2020 election. Consequences: I expect the doj to follow through after the hearings conclude. I don't think that asswaffle will go to prison. At the moment preventing him from a 2024 run is hopeful. I need more characters LOL
@Jezibaba You're a Saint and I can't thank you enough. I was hoping this would create some legal consequences for someone at least since the DOJ is apparently on vacation or something lol. Thank you so so so much, you're the best.
@Jezibaba Cassidy is in hiding

I spent 23 yrs. in the U.S. Army defending our country from enemies afar also only to have it attacked from within on Jan. 6. Trump and his cronies must never ever come close to thevwhite again...VOTE DEMOCRAT NOVEMBER 2022 & 2024!!!!

@Jezibaba I'm surprised the Onion didn't have an article on the anniversary about how he finally, a year later, urged his supporters to go home... Or something along those lines.

Trump campaign officials were unhappy that he didn't speak about death of Brian Sicknick: "shitty not to have acknowledged the death." Say he doesn't want to fault the mob, because it is ultimately his fault for egging them on.
