Anyone watch the Oath Keepers segment on "60 Minutes"?

It was interesting to hear the Arizona Chapter criticize Stewart Rhodes and his Chapter for such a dumb act. The Oath Keepers were going after each other. Some thought is was "unpatriotic" to invade the Capitol. One said that ten Oath Keepers led the assault. It looked like a lot more than ten aggressors marching into the Capitol.

Also, it was interesting that they never mentioned Trump in the story, as far as I heard?

It appeared to be a story pinning all the blame on the Oath Keepers and attempting to make them look like "scapegoats", at the same time?

What did anyone else glean from that story?

What would happen if any of the leaders of the insurrection were actually charged with incitement?

Including all the speakers that spoke with their inflammatory messages on that day, including Rep. Mo Brooks, Rudy Giuliani, Don Jr, and Trump himself?

What would be the reaction?

Would the threat of violence and more division over-ride all concerns about justice and equal treatment under the law? Would the reactions be more important than any notions of justice or responsibility for very serious crimes?

Should this be a concern to the DOJ? The last thing they would want is more division and more violence in the streets.

What would happen if they indicted any of the above mentioned leaders of the insurrection?

Gentle on My Mind

Where is Rudy??

Has he been seen since he warmed up the audience for Trump's incitement speech on January 6th? He was fired up and was calling for "trial by combat".

Isn't it about time to haul his ugly ass up before a jury and have him explain his role in the attack upon our Capitol? Where has he been hiding?

He is usually the #1 advisor for Donald Trump. Has he been seen at Mar-a-Lago?

It is time for him to answer some questions?

Farther Along

How many Republicans in the House and Senate could the Democrats work with?

Not on every issue but on some issues.

I think the Democrats should keep the door open for these folks. They should have another option other than the "Trump Party" option.

It would be good for the country if they could communicate and negotiate with the sane people still in the Republican Party. They do not have to agree with them but it would cost nothing to listen to their side. (There really is no use to try and communicate with the Trump people)

It would be very helpful if they could pass legislation with two or three Republicans supporting it also.

Is that too much to expect?

The train of truth is coming and the Republicans are standing in the middle of the track.

The whistle is blowing loud and hard but they don't hear it.

The truth is going to come out. They cannot run from it forever. They cannot hide it from the people. It's just a matter of time.

The truth will come out about Gaetz. The truth will come out about Donald Trump and his taxes. The truth will come out about the attempted coup of January 6th. The truth will come out about the complicity of Republican Congressmen and Senators. It will all be exposed. They pray that their Party does not desert them.

They can deny it but it will be there in the bright sunlight for everyone to see. They know it's coming. That is why we see the desperation. That is why they are so afraid of the vote of the people.

A few have seen the light and heard the whistle but most of them are still standing in the middle of the track.

It's going to be a bloody mess.
