Good for you, please donât let me being jaded stop you.
I just donât trust politicians⌠or anyone whoâs rich, really.
Personally I canât afford to.
So itâs always hope for the best, but still prepare for the worst, just in case.

For good reason. Even the âgoodâ ones can (and often do) fail us.
I just hope these hearings, especially from Shae and Lady Ruby, has some impact on enough Americans to make a difference for the fall elections. I really donât want this all to be for nothing. But then again, I hoped the same thing about the impact covid would have, and look where we are.

âBelieve that they can get away withâ implies they think theyâre doing something wrong in the first place. I donât think they think theyâre doing anything wrong. They donât have that kind of moral compass. When stuff comes out, and people call them on it, they genuinely believe theyâre being bullied for doing something âevery else does.â

Isnât that at the crux of the matter? I think Trump has spent his entire life not being told no. He knows what the law is, but he fully believes that he doesnât need to abide by the law, because heâs often broken the law and gotten away with it. He KNOWS things he does is illegal, but believes he is not to be held to the same standard as the rest of us. Statements theyâve highlighted show that they KNEW what the law was and doubled down anyway (thinking specifically of some of the revelations about Eastman).
WRT Eastman, I mean when he was told that Pence could not reject the electors, but he told him to do it anyway, and let the courts sort it out. He KNEW it was illegal, but he persisted.

A common thread among tyrants, and humans in general, really. Few people recognize themselves as bad guys. The saying is ânobody is the villain of their own story.â
Idi Amin famously invited a bunch of documentary makers to follow him around and the resulting General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait was unbelievably damning. Iâll bet Trump never watched it though.

I wonder if Trump made it all the way through Home Alone 2 or just watched the one scene on repeat for a while.

ATLANTA, Dec 10 â Weeks after the 2020 election, a Chicago publicist for hip-hop artist Kanye West traveled to the suburban home of Ruby Freeman, a frightened Georgia election worker who was facing death threats after being falsely accused by former President Donald Trump of manipulating votes. The publicist knocked on the door and offered to help.
The visitor, Trevian Kutti, gave her name but didnât say she worked for West, a longtime billionaire friend of Trump. She said she was sent by a âhigh-profile individual,â whom she didnât identify, to give Freeman an urgent message: confess to Trumpâs voter-fraud allegations, or people would come to her home in 48 hours, and sheâd go to jail.

I think we all know the answer to that.
@KathyPartdeux I was annoyed no one mentioned the publicist.

Yes. Though I guess I get trying to keep the focus tightly on the Administration. I guess.

Yeah, because really, thatâs what the justice department can go after with the right evidence⌠but itâs a whole movement now that has pulled in others who can carry this shit on, and that should be highlighted as well.

That makes sense. Not much point in giving Republicans talking points like âare you saying Trump is responsible for the actions of Kanye Westâs publicist now?â
Plus dragging Kanye into the discussion would give fuel to the people who insist the MAGA movement canât be racist because they have a nonzero number of Black people.
