It’s on youtube now for free viewing. Well worth the time and psychic stress it requires to watch. I feel like I understand just a little more about the last 50 years than I did before.

Apologies if this has circulated before, but it was new to me.

Colorado GOP Sen. Kevin Priola switches party affiliation

Colorado GOP Sen. Kevin Priola switches party affiliation to Democrat, citing election conspiracies

Considered a more moderate Republican in the statehouse, Priola said he believed the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol would make the GOP distance itself from Donald Trump and “the political environment he created.” But it did not, and he wrote that he watched “brave and honorable Republicans” who did get threatened and ridiculed.

For a vision of how this is going to play out for TFG

Watch the end of “Inventing Anna.” Her inability to handle the possible ineptitude defense landed her in prison. She HAD to be the best.

Of course it will be different. But I’m expecting at least some similarities.
