"Did you develop evidence that Trump was responsible for the violence on January 6th?"

The excerpt quotes Smith: So our view of the evidence was that he caused it and that he exploited it and that it was foreseeable to him."

Happy New Year, GOP.

2. Wouldn't it be great

If Republicans loved America and acted accordingly. Oh My God. Country before party. If members of the military were not expected to obey illegal orders. If republicans at least frowned on those involved with pedophilia. If magas would say, Holy Cow, 34 felony convictions. Thats bad isn’t it Bubba? Maybe we shouldn’t vote for such a person.

An incredible sickness has captured A big chunk of the grand old party and assorted acoylytes.

6. Trump isn't a terribly smart man,

but he is a master bully with decades of experience. Republicans never saw anyone like him rise to political power before and were not prepared for it. Plus, they evidently never had the courage of their convictions and I'm sure even Trump was amazed at how easily they fell in line.

I suppose if all those republicans were ever the great patriots that they claimed to be, they wouldn't have been so easily swayed. It turns out all those pocket constitutions and flag pins were just for show; they don't really believe in anything except political power. Of course, in some cases, I'm sure there was damaging kompromat involved as well.
