“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

Anyone believing this nonsense is ripe for being taken in. If you can believe this nonsense there is little you will not fall for.
With a little energy & a two-minute-hate nothing you will not do.
This must be highlighted so there is no escape from what they have said and asserted.

They need to be forced to give account for themselves, and all they have done, and not be allowed to pull the standard tricks of deflection.

The entire event.
It is odious to review.

I suppose this is what 20k gets you if you have to defend Trump with indefensible lies.

The toxic spew continues unabated.
Noticing in passing that TuckerC has not become a target of the blinding ire of these crazies...Now accusing him of being party to 'pizzagate' - whatever that means. (its not good best I can tell. The centerpiece of Qanon bullshit)

Love the
"Love" the appeal to stacks of evidence that never materialize. Love the relentless telling of falsehoods used to keep the "base" agitated and ready to fight.

No. I don't love it.

These people are liars. As you would expect. They are in service to a master liar. And a lie.
There is something pernicious about this that smells, but has not yet been fully exposed. Like the carcass of a dead rat rotting in the walls of our country, these folks are advocating the most transparent of nonsense.
The point is people who are not in on the con are not the

This is on the official GOP site!

Hold them accountable to this.

Soon, after there is no more value, no more skullduggery, no more fools in their world to deceive with this astonishing nonsense
they will abandon this line as if it never happened.

This is worse than Watergate.
The press & the citizenry have to remember who these people are and what they are doing.

Meanwhile do not forget what Trump and his cabal of people have already done. The harm they are willing to inflict on the country for something as idiotic as this?

Trump is up to no good.
How can any of this be taken seriously?

And to make it even more laughable it is said that Rudy is getting 20k a day for this.
That may make some sense as he will never work again. Who would hire such a farce? A clown as this?

Others need to be ramping up the pressure and temperature on Trump & Admin. (Esp GSA).
No more telling us Trump is stonewalling, or regaling us with the latest stupid, feckless, loser court cases going nowhere.

Now!
Full on inquiry. Find out what is going on behind the scenes
Trump is not making public appearances, yet he is working hard to undermine the country.

I think it likely he truly did not expect to lose and thought the policies he was about to implement 2Term would be done under the cover of darkness.
Now, he stands to be exposed.
Burning
Trump is likely burning all the evidence he can. Getting rid of people who would or could know better, installing people for a term of a few weeks...
Why?
They have a job to do.

It is imperative to get off the silly story of Guilliani, & focus on the real story. @jayrosen_nyu

Hard to know what to think about this. But it takes a religious level of devotion to achieve this level of rejection of reality.

For some unknown reason people have made conscious rejection of basic facts into ex-cathedra dogma,
There is info here. Not sure what it is just now.
How did the political divide, enraged into a conflagration by Trump...dividing the country into those who believe Trump, no matter the facts, and those who will not be so devoted to the man? Who find their devotion elsewhere... and deeper.

It is confounding.

It is not binary.
The raging at death does not surprise me. A sometimes too human response. The horror of being faced with the reaper when you were taught to believe it was a hoax would give the terror to question everything once held as dear truth. And no time to reflect.

@ProjectLincoln You need to use this as a pivot for your hard, unflinching, messages. This message needs to get to Georgia, & to the country.
There is something astonishingly ugly about an entire party willing to submit itself to such astonishing nonsense to appease such a loser.
The fight is indeed not over. Trump is done. But what remains is Trumpism and the GOP that supports and enables him.

Every report reveals more about the craven cowardice of the Republican Senators who want to speak in secret, who want to coddle Trump, let him down easy...
It is reported that they do not want to upset Trump's voters. That Trump may turn on them if they do not continue to sing Trump's song and continue to dance to his demands.

What does it say that these are the people that these GOP types require in order to stay in power?

At every step of the sad history of Trump in American politics the relationship is characterized by abuse.
The system that has functions designed to prevent & manage errors & problems is being abused to create them.

Essentially the problem is this:Trump(ism) is a vicious abuser.
This point could be annotated by a collection of examples. Most of them are well known.

Ponder that you have never seen Trump laugh. Never explain a policy or position in terms that reflected & incorporated different POV. That there has never been an example of graciousness.
The list of Trump's character flaws will fill a book someday. And they have been significant in the corrosive undoing of the country.

It seems the one powerful quality that underlies everything that is Trump & his septic influence on the country (& world) is the lying.
