How does the Speaker Pelosi - Qevin McCarthy war of Committees play out?
The Qevin childish play is a stunt. It is intended to placate crybaby Trump. Take the toys away. It IS WORSE than letting the 3 Republicans sit on the Committee that Pelosi approved. Qevin knows this
America NEEDS the Jan 6th Committee
America is in PAIN because of a terrorist attack on the Capitol
The attempted assassination of the Vice President
The attempted kidnap & torture of the Speaker of the House
The attempted GASSING of Congress
The injuries to 140 police officers
There WILL be a Jan 6th Committee
Pelosi created a FAIR 50/50 Committee. It got votes of 35 House Republicans and all DEMs
#MoscowMitch McTurtle lobbied against that Committee. SIX Republican Senators voted yes
Now that Mitch destroyed the 50/50 Committee we get Pelosi's Cttee
Qevin McCarthy made blunder by not nominating 5 sane Republians to Pelosi's Committee. It HAS Liz Cheney, so it will be 'bipartisan'. IND voters will trust Pelosi's Committee is FAIR because there is (at least one) Republican. It WILL get PLENTY of TV Coverage. Of more Democrats
Qevin McCarthy's scam rival committee will be only Republican, an obvious fake. It will not have subpoena power. It'll be a circus. They will probably interview the My Pillow Guy, Scott Baio & Gary Busey
It will ONLY be seen on Fox. So Qevin's Committee will not CHANGE ANY VOTES
Speaker Pelosi's Jan 6th Committee is IN RESPONSE to Mitch rejecting a 50/50 Committe. HUGE BLUNDER
It IS bipartisan with Liz Cheney. She will get a lot of TV air time. The IND voters in the middle will not COUNT THE SEATS. They see this is a bipartisan committee.
But because Mitch refused 50/50 Committee there will be NO SENATORS like Lindsey Graham or Ted Cruz or Rand Paul
BUT they will play video of Republican Senator Mitch McConnell saying: Trump was "morally responsible" for Jan 6 in “a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty.”
As Qevin didn't give 5 sane Republicans for the Committee, the Committee will run video of Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy saying:
"This is un-American. This should never happen in our nation and whatever is going on right now has got to stop."
The actual Jan 6th Committee will be seen as bipartisan. It will explore what happened & interview all relevant parties, and there will be televised hearings
Mitch could have had a 50/50 Committee which would have ENDED by December
This Cttee will run into 2022.. election year
Here is the thing
This is the BIGGEST political story in US history. Trump tried to stage a coup d'etat, to become King
SOME Republicans actively SUPPORTED it, including in Congress
Fox viewers will not believe. Let them watch Qevin's sham Committee
IND voters will believe
The January 6th Committee will not be a circus, because Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert & Elise Stefanik will not be on it
It will expose the crimes committed. In prime time. Quoting Mitch & Qevin condemning Trump
This Committee will convince IND VOTERS
She Da Boss of DC

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
