candide

It's not the point I made. The point I made is that this information (Republicans are divided re Trump 2024) was also presented in other media, including right-wing media. Capisce?

I must acknowledge that you raise relevant issues. Trump candidate in 2024 would significantly improve the odds of a Democratic candidate winning. Getting rid of him would be beneficial to democracy in general, not necessarily to the Democrats. However, on short-term, it may be useful to discredit some MAGA candidates during the midterms. Then, It's true that there is currently no obvious good Democratic candidate for the presidential elections. It's a real problem.

That's the post I was replying to, not mine. Anyway, this topic has also been addressed by other media. Would a right-wing biased source be to your liking? ???? https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/heres-what-republicans-have-to-say-about-trump-2024-candidacy

You are too impatient. Haven't you noticed how these hearings have been expertly scenarized? First, Trump's Republican aides testifying he had been warned that the Big Lie was effectively a lie. After that, Trump's Republican aides testifying how the plot was conceived and implemented (plus some written evidence). Then the unexpected Republican aide with her shock testimony. Followed by outcry and whining in the MAGA sphere, which actually directed public attention to some Jan. 6 events. Haven't thought about what the next episode will be? The next session will be Cipollone (and maybe others) confirming under oath what Hutchinson already told under oath. It will also include FBI agents testimony that Trump eagerly wanted to go to the Capitol, where the mob was already assaulting the building (whether they confirm or not the steering wheel funny episode, is of minor importance).

It's going to be good! ???? Trump is so jealous that he will destroy the Republican party rather than let DeSantis take the lead.

There is another explanation: it was both intentionally provoked AND stupid! ????

I think you are confusing "show to be false" with "claim to be false". It's no wonder that 90% of media claim something is true when It's backed by facts. For example, it's no wonder 90% of media claimed Crowdstrike was not a Ukrainian company, that the big lie was a lie, etc...... (the full list would be too long). Actually, the main issue is that some people only read/watch one type of media and so are not able to compare information from different sources.

Actually, he may well announce a presidential run for 2024. It would allow him to claim he has been unfairly targeted (and possibly indicted) because because liberals and RINOs are afraid he may win.. Of course, MAGA fans would believe him.

It's true that civilians have been killed. If I remember well, it was mainly close to the frontline, checkpoints, bases, etc....

However, only one of the two countries at war is extensively killing civilians.

They are too shy! ????

1. It's really a pity her testimony has not been cross-checked by testimonies from people close to Trump who have been at the core of these conversations, and who could have contradicted her! What a shame! That's a maskerade of investigation! Oh wait! They refused to testify or took the fifth! ???? 2. Some of her testimony has been direct eyewitness and/or corroborated by other witnesses or other evidence (I.e. messages). You would know it if you had followed the hearings instead of just listening to MAGA propaganda. Anyway don't be too impatient, Cippolone is expected to testify on 7 July and will surely clear any misunderstanding. ???? 3.That's a lame distortion of her testimony. She never claimed Trump was driving while fending off a federal agent.

The same source (see previous posts) which told Trump did not attack the agent also stated they don't deny that he wanted to go to the Capitol. That's the important information.about this event. Mind you. Do you doubt that the MAGA folks has screened every sentence of her testimony? The only things they found is that the wheel drive funny part may not be fully accurate, and that there is a disagreement over who actually write a note. Peanuts. That's actually quite a positive assessment of her testimony.

No. It was not a discount paid back later. The UK was paying a net amount after having deduced the rebate. What the UK got back were the EU subsidies such as subsidies to agriculture or research. So what was written on the bus was a lie. https://fullfact.org/europe/our-eu-membership-fee-55-million/

She's even dumber than her master.

I like the choice of picture! ????

Which ones?

You are right that the ,"cowering" Republicans have much to lose. However, you have no evidence that she will be offered several high paying jobs.. It's not without risk for her. She will likely be blacklisted by her usual employers (GOP politicians), may find it difficult to work in the private sector (it may not please Republican customers or stakeholders). On top of it, she gets insulted, gets threatened, may be assaulted by a right-wing nutter, would need a security escort for some time etc... I guess she would prefer the normal life she had before Why do you assume that she was motivated by doing a little math, and not simply by the will to do her citizen's duty? Or should it be assumed that all Republicans are only motivated by greed?

An interesting article. The Dumbest Coup Attempt ???? America was saved by pure indolence. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/06/hutchinson-testimony-trump-secret-service-jan-6-hearings/661427/ Quote: "I hope it does not sound like I am diminishing the gravity of January 6 when I say that it was among the dumbest coup attempts in history—not because it was destined to fail but because of the trivial reason it was destined to fail. That reason is Trump’s incredible laziness and complete aversion to personal risk"

Putin's intent is very clear: annexion of the two Eastern provinces (It's already done for Crimea and, let's be realistic, will not be reversed ) and initially a regime change (I guess they have lost this hope). The Russian economy is not wealthy enough, and the population is decreasing (it lost 1 million inhabitants in 2021). So these two wealthy provinces and their population would be a good addition to Russia. There have been some attemps to negotiate, or to help negotiations ex U.N., Turkey, etc... The problem is that both Ukraine and Russia are not ready to give up the Eastern regions. It is also that Putin doesn't understand anything else than force and pressure. Additionally, even if Putin gets the Eastern provinces, There is also the risk that he will not have another try elsewhere, as it has worked in Ukraine (and before in Georgia, etc....) In the cases you mentioned, it was easier to negotiate. The objective was a regime change, an access to oil, etc... It was not the permanent annexion of a part of these countries

In was curious to know who was second: 13.24% opted for Pita Limjaroenrat, leader of the Move Forward Party,

End of work shift in Russia! (Their machines are so outdated! ????)

So It's all they found about her testimony? A disagreement about a note? Meanwhile, Meadows plays the Ostrich, Faux News too, and Gini is whining.

It's pathetic how MAGA folks try to divert attention from the key aspects of this testimony, which they cannot refute, by focusing on details, such as a disagreement about who wrote a note. One can be sure they have screened every sentence of her testimony, so if It's the only thing they found, It's rather positive for her testimony. ????

Even if the steering wheel episode ends up being innacurate, there are still some good moments... ???? Trump rattles off a dozen livid social media posts in 2 hours as ex-aide gives explosive testimony to Jan. 6 panel: 'A Total Phony!!!' ???? https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-goes-off-after-cassidy-hutchinsons-damning-jan-6-hearing-2022-6?r=US&IR=T
