I also agree, the crowd was out for blood and there are lessons to be learnt but that does not distract or excuse their actions or those who instigated it.

I haven't excused anything. Just asked a question. Do you have the answer to it?

[ozimoron]

In an interview with right-wing talk show host Wayne Allyn Root, Trump praised "great warriors" in the GOP House such as Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks (R-IN), and bemoaned the fact that they weren't getting equal time with the House Select Committee hearings.

"Unfortunately a bad decision was made," said Trump. "This committee was a bad decision not to have representation on this committee! That was a very, very foolish decision!"

they will never charge Trump because they think it will look bad for America, they will find any excuses not to charge Trump, personally i would like to see Trump in prison 

Actually it will make the US look very good and go a long way to restoring a little bit of international confidence in its governance.

It also would set the benchmark higher for every two-bit dictator who's been torturing, invading other countries and refusing to resign despite egregious behavior, corruption and mismanagement bordering on treason (yes Johnson I'm looking at you as well). At least they won't be able to point at the US in a game of whataboutery any more.

Wasting tax payers money trying to prosecute an Ex president. Most stupid thing I ever heard.

 

Get over it and forget him. Jeepers,

 

Use the money on something constructive like building some homeless shelters instead of trying to get a pound of flesh that benefits no one.

If he would leave the rest of us alone then fine.

 

If he was legally declared unqualified to run for President again then yeah, I'd be happy to see him on the ash heap of history where he belongs and forget all about him. But as things stand there is a good chance he will run again so people need to know what he did.

Trump won't leave it alone. Contributions to his campaign fund by mouthbreathers and knuckledraggers are his sole source of profitable income. His businesses are all tanking post-COVID, and he owes bigtime to the Russians and Deutsche Bank.

Sharks die if they stop moving forward, no flow of oxygen. Trump is no different, without the oxygen of a dollar flow he dies, and he knows it.

[Srikcir]

6 in 10 is 60%.

For comparison, somewhat higher than the popular vote where 51.3% voted for Biden vs 46.8% for Trump ( a 7M difference).

Might be the 11/6 Commission's public presentations are turning some Trump supporters away from Trump.

If prosecuted by DOJ, trial would be in Washington DC where I suspect a jury isn't going to be swayed by Trump's MAGA histrionics. Nor would the Court of Appeals.

Also, all us plain ole kitchen table yanks care not so much about this J6 confusion but more on paying our bills and surviving record inflation.

Let's cut to the chase.  It's not "kitchen table yanks" who pretend not to care about the J6 investigation/hearings.  It's the hardcore Trump supporters who want/need to avoid the truth at all cost.  In Trumpworld, truth is kryptonite.

As if he would need a PP to travel.  Or if every billionaire doesn't have a few million stashed somewhere for 'emergencies' 

 

More than a few countries he could hop a private jet to, with no extradition w/ USA.  Or keep things tied up in court on appeals for 10 ish years.  He is 77, so I don't think he's worried about anything.

[pomchop]

In other news 4 out of 10 Americans seem to prefer a wannabe dictator that has conned his kool aide cult out of millions of dollars , ignores the constitution and the laws and is likely the biggest grifter ever.  Hear no evil see no evil.

Actually if he flees that could be almost as good as locking him.up.

It will certainly be a Democrat if the election based on democratic principle of majority rules as in most developed countries.

Let's see....

 

I don't think he'd want to go to one of the s**thole countries in Africa.  Ukraine is an option but probably not a good one.  China is the same along with their puppets Cambodia and Laos.  He probably wouldn't like the reception he'd get in a Muslim country who's people he banned from entering the US. 

 

What's left?  Russia, Belarus, Vietnam and the Stans.  Assuming they would have him.

 

Oh wait, I think all the Stans are Muslim.  I don't think Trump has that many options for fleeing.

Scotland, I'm ashamed to say, were drooling at his golf empire dreams, and Ireland welcomed his sons, Monaco, Lichtenstein, there's scores of states that welcome superyachts and private jets filled with absolute human garbage with enough zeroes to their name.

Places decent regular folks wouldn't get more than a two week visa for the Formula One tournament, then be off with you! 

Even Putin has plenty of options, don't be fooled.

Thanks to the global warming Trump tried so hard to assist, Moscow will soon be balmy in winter and perfect for golf. Problem solved.

I read this imagining Trump's voice saying it.

It's exactly how Trump speaks!

Trumps literally implanted himself into people's minds.

That's some powerful ju-ju. 

No wonder he got away with grabbing them by the pussy too!

Even the Andrew formerly known as Prince couldn't pull that off. 

Powerful ju-ju indeed.

Er- I think you would find Australia would deport him back to the US as an undesirable alien. Not the first American we have done it to.

[Berkshire]

It's seems the Trump team has settled on its fall guy--John Eastman.  The guy should have known.  Loyalty only goes one way when it comes to D. Trump.  It would be wise for Eastman to work out a plea deal with the DOJ.

 

[With the Justice Department and Jan. 6 committee taking a close look at Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, he and his cronies could certainly use a fall guy, and it looks like they’ve found their patsy: right-wing lawyer John Eastman.]

[Trump has confided to those close to him that he sees no reason to publicly defend Eastman...]

[....the ex-president has repeated an excuse he often uses when backed into a corner, as investigators confront him with an associates’ misdeeds: He has privately insisted he “hardly” or “barely” knows Eastman...]

Do you have the same problem with the polls showing Biden in trouble? Numbers of those interviewed are similar.

Well, for one thing, Trump's lawyers have been engaged in major delaying actions. Almost invariably, they lose but it does eat up time.
