This guy Rusty Bowers sits and testifies how he was pressured by Trump to

[doc03]

violate his oath. His family and even his neighbors are harassed by Trump's thugs. He testifies that he would not break his oath, he thinks the constitution was written by God. But when asked if he would vote for the most corrupt, godless, lying POS again he says yes!

2. Abject loyalty is a cornerstone for cult membership.

What else should we expect?

3. Clearly, the GOP isn't a party

it's a terminal mental disease.

4. After looking like a principled man when testifying that trump and rudy...

asked him to go against his morals and faith, the maga-to-the-end still says he'll vote for in insurrectionist, fake-elector backing criminal.

So much for this a-hole.

5. His honesty helps the Committee, likely DOJ, and perhaps juries.

Realistically, his testimony may be more helpful overall, than the same testimony from a longtime Democrat.

8. Rusty's, apparent honesty, helps the Committee, likely DOJ, and perhaps juries.

Realistically, his testimony may be more helpful overall, than the same testimony from a longtime Democrat.

The Committee, no doubt, knew his bacground, knew Dems would slam him; but the Committee is
taking the larger view, - democracy is at stake.

11. He's a RINO according to trump supporters,

The death threats increase.

[empedocles]

12. He knew that and those, were coming.

6. Yeah, that was kind of amazing.

If he has such deep respect for the Constitution, why would he vote for someone who craps on it on a daily basis? Bowers is a Mormon, a pretty straight-laced bunch that reveres the family as essential to a "godly" life, but he'd vote for a serial adulterer who has cheated on each of his three wives, the last one with a porn actress, and never sets foot in any church unless he has to for a photo op, over someone who is clearly devout and who has always been faithful to his wife? What the hell does he think Trump has done that was "so good for the country"? I guess it must be the anti-choice Supreme Court justices and lower taxes?

9. Well, it's not like Trump is a Democrat, or anything evil like that!

[snowybirdie]

14. I don't get it

[chowder66]

7. Please sir, may I have another?

[gulliver]

10. It's because they're not fighting against Dems

They're fighting against an extremist vision of Dems. The biggest lie is the defamatory, savagely dishonest image Republicans project onto Dems. It's the true foundational lie.

[moonscape]

18. Good point. It's so dismaying, and confusing, that

IQ is so frequently irrelevant.

13. No Different Than Scalise Getting Shot, But Still 100% Supporting Guns!

Sometimes you got to set aside your own safety, and the safety of those you love, for the good of the Cult.

[dchill]

15. The "tenets of his faith" allow him to support a traitorous...

...criminal, as long as he doesn't have to do any of the dirty work himself. Emerson adjustable tenets... IMO.

[LiberalFighter]

16. The way he talked yesterday made him seem crazy to me.

[KarenS]

17. It defies all logic,,,,, n/t

19. Do people like Bowers

realize that once they give Trump power again, the next time he tries to overthrow the government and seize total power, he’ll make sure that they can’t resist him and that he and others are likely going to wind up in jail or dead (or both)?

[DFW]

20. He sounds like an Auschwitz inmate at the door to the gas chamber

“It’s wrong what they are doing to me, but I would still vote for Hitler, because he made Germany great again!”

[GoodRaisin]

21. Makes me wonder if he listened to himself. Very strange to mention "divine inspiration"

in connection with the constitution but then turn around and dismiss character as unimportant for a president. Trying to have it both ways.

[moondust]
