A whole tranche of McCarthy’s texts about planning 1/6 have been released.

Hey, remember when Trump's apologists tried to tell us he wasn't inciting violence, because sometimes Democrats use the word "fight" too?

Seems like this makes his intent pretty clear.

Almost missed this in all the more dramatic revelations of rampant criminality and corruption: Trump's allies tried to get a witness not to testify by dangling a high-paying job in front of her, an offer that evaporated as soon as she told the truth.

Bribing witnesses to your conduct to get them to not talk about it is totally something that innocent people do, right?

I just flipped over to Fox to see what they're talking about.

They're screaming about "NYC CRIME WAVE!"

(Salsa commercial cowboys)
NYYEEWW YOOORRK CIIITY?!!!??!

Now it's "WE WERE REALLY CLOSE TO GIANT MIGRANT SURGE!"

Is there any news on Hunter Biden's dick picks, Hillary's emails, or BENGHAZI!?

As for the DOJ


Oh, I forgot, the job is now done. It is great we wasted all that money and time on a hearing that had no charges and conviction, but the dems wilkl pat themselves on the back like they actually did something.

Thank you Biden and your justice cock block Garland.

An argument can be made that the Dobbs decision combined with the 1/6 hearings being on TV played equal parts in breaking the red wave.
So, legalistically useless, but culturally and politically important.

One could argue that if they had never met a republican. They were all out there voting for Nikki lake, MTG, Gaetz, Bobert, Walker, and the rest of the orange brigade.

The red wave was a poling error and that was all. When you poll via landlines in 2022 there is no way to avoid bias in your polls. If you wanted to have a legitimate poll of the people would you use landlines or cell phones? In the end your market for polls is newspapers and cable news, so you want to get numbers for their elderly customers. That is not to mention that they clearly siught out polls that supported their old idea that midterms are always a loss for the party in charge. It was lazy reporters trying to make scientific citations for their same old story that the the party in charge was going to get washed out.

These are the same reporters who are going to tell us Biden won, Trump has lost, and then talk about Trump running again next time. If Trump really lost the only thing he would be running for is his life in the yard when the prison bitch tries to beat his ass so he can move up a notch.

Nobody's polling via landlines in 2022. Not exclusively, at any rate.

Polling has gotten pretty sophisticated, and when there are errors it's usually not because of sampling, but because the analysis of the raw data made incorrect assumptions about turnout. In the case of 2022, many of them erred by underestimating the extent to which young people, and young women in particular, were really pissed off.

Well, that and the fact that the averages -- and the ensuing media coverage -- were influenced by Republican-friendly groups flooding the zone with junk polls in the few weeks before the election in a (successful) attempt to "work the refs" and create a narrative that would help them.

What about Ginni Thomas? https://slate.com/news-and-politics...ort-summary-clarence-thomas-ginni-ethics.html

The final report.

845 pages? No thanks, I'd rather watch one of the YouTube videos FF links to.

get back to us after the first 45 seconds of that video...

Forward entitled: 'The Last Best Hope of Earth.'

Does Pelosi know she's cribbing from Babylon 5?

Fuck, just reading the table of contents is roiling my blood. Two big things from the executive summary - the Intelligence community did know about the planned attack but not the scope of it, and that there were concerns about using the DC national guard because it was unknown if Trump would use it against Congress, and POTUS is the ultimate authority overseeing the DC National Guard.

Here ya go!

Holy shit, maybe it’s a good thing they weren’t deployed after all.

Haven't got to that part yet but there was a news story that further in the report Trump had actually expressed a desire to have 10,000 DC National Guard surround him as he led the rioters to stop the certification. You have to wonder what the military would have done in that situation. Evidently, his advisors talked him out of it.

Despite ample evidence, Christian nationalism mostly absent from final Jan. 6 report

D.C. mayor: Feds failed on Jan. 6 by thinking far-right was ‘friendly’

Chaya Raichik appears to have trespassed at the Capitol

According to Melania's former spokesperson, Trump thought that insurrectionists were dressed shabbily. Maybe he should have hired Hugo Boss to design uniforms for them.

Maybe some brown shirts and white hoods? Kanye could do the designing and sell them fior lots of money and they could be marketed through the mypillow network.

How are these guys so stupid, they could be making billions if they got together and used their resources. We are fucking lucky the gravy seals are lazy and good for nothin. If this was a strong fighting force we would not have a chance with the resources they have.

The committee has 41K hours of security camera footage that Kevin McCarthy just gave to Tucker Carlson.

I think there’s some security issues with that.

Am I reading this wrong, or does it say that only fucker carlson is getting access to all this raw footage because of an exclusive? If that is the case we need to string McCarthy up because there should be no exclusive rights to all that footage. I do not care if it is Tucker, Faux, MSNBC, CNN, or TYT. If it is government footage it should be released to all and any person who leads congress who makes such a decision to offer that as an exclusive needs to be removed from congress and at least fined into poverty.

However, if I am wrong and everyone has access to it including fucker carlson then I have no complaints.
