Today was a sickening disgrace...
To watch the spineless, toady Republicans kiss the ring of the guy that threatened their lives on January 6th, 2021, in our nation's Capitol.

At this very moment, every American should be bent over their toilets vomiting. If this doesn't make you sick, as an American, then something is seriously wrong with you.

The convicted felon returned to the scene of the crime. It was a sight to behold. The looks on the faces of the Republicans welcoming him back to the place they had to run from on January 6th. Their loving glances and embraces for their Cult Leader. It was nothing less than disgraceful.

But, for Trump, it was a necessity. He cannot survive without the support of the Republican Party. He is toast if he does not win the nomination of their Party. So, he uses the same old bullshit and lies that he has used for the last nine years. And with the disgraceful Republicans, it works every time.

Four weeks from today, he is to stand before the Judge for his sentencing. How much damage can he do to our institutions and our rule of law in four short weeks? There is no simple solution. Simply putting him in jail does not fix the damage he has already done. Nothing the Judge will do will change the minds of the cult that follows Trump, including elected Republicans.

These same Republicans want to subpoena the Manhattan DA and Prosecutor to testify before their Committee on July 12th, the day after the sentencing. Nobody should expect anything good to come from that.

The voters must understand by now that the Justice system is not going to work for them. The Congress is not going to work for them. The Supreme Court is not going to save them from the scourge that has attacked our democracy.

The voters can only save themselves. There is no one else to save us. Even then, there is no guarantee that our votes will not be corrupted. We are the last line of defense.

Kentuck is triggered over nothing.

To them it doesn’t matter if it’s a lie, they view it as the truth no matter how often it’s proven to be a lie. They just can’t accept the truth and continue on with their hate and vile screeds against a man. Who is trying to do good for them in America.

Translation: Contradicting Progs' Hate-Trump narrative that he is out to destroy "democracy", Trump met with democratically-elected R Congress critters to bolster their working relationship. This narrative contradiction POs Trump-Hater kt.

So much pearl clutching about January 6th doesn't earn any votes except tongue-baths from media and the 1% of the lib-turd population who actually gives a shit.

Caveat: Yes, January 6th was certainly not a good day. President Trump absolutely did NOT incite it, a bunch of unruly people engaged in bad behavior. Anyone who listened to what President Trump said in context beforehand was totally innocuous.

The hyperbole about that day is so overblown. I'm surprised the left hasn't been trying to make 1/6 another faux holiday such as Juneteenth and celebrating Saint George of Fentanyl Floyd.

Speaking of sickening disgrace, I’m hearing Nancy Pelosi admitted responsibility for the lack of National Guard protection. Is that right?

On fairness to her, it is rare to hear a democrat admit any sort of fault or dailure.

Yes, the 1/6 protesters were at fault. But their frustration was understandable. Anyone who believes the 2020 election was legit is a fool. Doesn't mean 1/6 was ok. But it's understandable. On the election, there were so many obvious problems. And most of them were easily provable. The election laws were blatantly ignored. And nothing was done about it. The entire election machine failed the country. The courts weren't interested in hearing the evidence. And, if anyone didn't yet believe in "The Swamp" they did afterwards.
There was no doubt of Trump's overwhelming popularity in 2020. There's no doubt it now. My concern is an attempted repeat in 2024. Anyone here can make a list of 20 or more people off the top of their head who should rot in prison over the 2020 election. Yet, they're all still free to do try it all over again.
