Four Strikes And We're Out

Fourth Time's The Charm?

"I am watching and I will be watching all the hearings, although I may not be able to watch all of it live but I'll be sure I'll be watching all of it. I can assure you the January 6th prosecutors are watching all the hearings."
                  Attorney General Merrick Garland, June 13, 2022

With two live, public hearings now completed, it is difficult to imagine how the House Select Committee supposes it can persuade anyone in America who needs persuading to believe the tsunami of incontrovertible testimony from loyal Ratpublicans, which is demonstrating beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald J. Turmp did, with malice of forethought (such as it is) plan, conspire, incite, and do everything but physically lead the breach of the Capitol while brandishing a Confederate flag, on January 6, 2021. Not one member of the bipartisan committee shrieked, whined, flailed or made insane shit up. How can anyone take seriously people who simply lay out mountains of damning facts and eviscerating evidence without peddling demented conspiracy theories, or veins popping out of their heads or hair dye running down their faces? Beats me.

The complete absence of alternative facts could very well cripple whatever hopes the Committee has of influencing many Americans to jettison former President Flotsam, and protect the democracy they claim to cherish despite having not the slightest notion what democracy actually is.

Money For Nothing, Get Your Chumps For Free

To be fair, not all of Turmp’s efforts were aimed at stealing the election he incessantly accused his adversaries of trying to steal. He was also using his Big Lie, his Big Mouth and the incredibly tiny brains of his followers to bilk them out of their hard-earned money – money that would soon become sorely needed and significantly devalued due to Turmp’s (not Biden’s) policies, massive tax cuts (which oddly enough have neither paid for themselves nor trickled down) for the rich and disgraceful handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Turmp fleeced more than $250M from his flock for his non-existent “Official Election Defense Fund.” The money he raked in included $204,857 to the “Turmp Hotel Collection” – whatever the fuck that is – and $5M to Event Strategies, Inc. the “company” that ran Turmp's now infamous January 6, 2021 pre-insurrection pep rally on The Ellipse.

Noted legal scholar and Professor Emeritus at Harvard University, Laurence Tribe, citing federal law, suggests Turmp’s con on his own supporters looks like Wire Fraud, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in federal housing.

All the money Turmp grifted came from his cult members; it seems very unlikely that he got any “donations” from those who consider him to be a sniveling, hateful, lifelong criminal and Hot Air Buffoon.

It is becoming crystal clear that now, for the third (probably fourth) time that Donald Turmp will be found guilty of crimes against the United States. Just to recap: 1) the Mueller investigation that absolutely found that there was collusion between the Turmp campaign and Russia; 2) the first impeachment, which found that Turmp tried to blackmail Volodymyr Zelenskyy to find dirt on Hunter Biden and 3) the second and record-breaking impeachment, which found that Turmp incited the assault on the Capitol; and now the Select Committee sealing the deal again, even ramping up the accusation from incitement to planning and

Anyone who thinks millions of mentally challenged MAGAts will fall for a bunch of non-lies coming from Ratpublicans has simply not been Paying Attention™.
