If we can prove Trump was directly responsible for January 6, would anything happen to him?
No. There are enough Republicans in power to dismiss any evidence that a reasonable person would acknowledge as “proof”.
Evidence without power is worthless.
It is all but impossible for Democrats to command more than a slim majority in Congress & the Senate.
Democrats refuse to fight dirty. They often refuse to fight at all. There is no believable scenario where our elected Democrats will risk civil war to bring Trump to justice.
Honestly, the Rittenhouse trial did every bit as much to test my faith in our justice system as any of the Trump hearings. Rittenhouse isn’t Trump, but he’s supported by a lot of the same people and he represents a lot of the same things.
So once again, we’re faced with the questions:
Is there any way to bring Trump to justice where the GOP cannot run interference for him?
Are the Democrats doing anything to prevent another insurrection in 2024? (And “losing the electoral vote” doesn’t count, smartass.)

Deepest condolences to the Oxford High School shooter, who is doomed to be demonized by the Deep State gun-grabbing media for protecting his stuff from rioters & looters who were surely no angels
This high school student was a proud patriot who was entitled to carry a gun everywhere, and who are we to judge him for protecting himself when he was attacked by other students trying to go about their day without getting shot by a proud patriot with a gun
I implore our nation’s NRA-sponsored Congressmen to offer this proud Oxford High School marksman an internship at the earliest possible opportunity, as he will be a valuable asset to Team MAGA
The GOP will not be campaigning on “Democrats didn’t cure the Coronavirus” in 2022.
They never cared about COVID. They still barely acknowledge it.
No, what bothers them are the restrictions, the lockdowns, & the vaccine mandates.
There is still no real GOP plan to eradicate COVID.
But their plan to eradicate everything else remains crystal clear.
“Democrats hate your freedom! We will restore freedom (by eliminating vaccine mandates & social restrictions… and basically pretending COVID never happened).”
“Aren’t you tired of nanny-state Democrats trying to stop something that was impossible to stop in the first place? Like the Coronavirus, or global warming, or the police murdering unarmed black men? Well, then tell those do-gooders to take a hike, & let nature take its course!”
I’ve cycled through about ten different responses to this headline, and none of them are quite doing it justice rawstory.com/pastor-tells-c…
The problem with sites like Rawstory and RightWingWatch is that they tend to focus undue attention on inconsequential randos that say outrageous things so they can generate online traffic. Like, what the fuck do I care what an unknown pastor has to say
I’ve had plenty to say about outrage merchants on the right like Laura Ingraham & Tucker Carlson who routinely make examples of fringe figures on the left to weaponize against mainstream liberals. But I don’t like it when liberal outrage merchants do it either.
The verdict itself gives Team Racist everything they’ll ever need, so the only point of even suggesting such a lawsuit is just to gloat: “NYAHH NYAHH LIBERAL TEARS LOL CNN!”
It’s like the Senate acquittal of Trump: A “not guilty” verdict equates to “Our guy did nothing wrong.”
When Judge Schroeder effectively got Rittenhouse off the hook, not only did it establish legal predence for open-carrying firearms in the service of vigilantism, but it struck another blow in the Right’s ongoing war against the Mainstream Media.
When the people who get to decide if Killing Two People Is Okay agree with the defendant that Yes, Those People Definitely Should Have Been Killed, it isn’t terribly difficult to generate some kind of reason why Killing Two People Is Okay.
There were other laws broken, which the judge decided to unilaterally dismiss so as not to distract from the central issue of whether Killing Two People Is Okay.
Many other judges would not have let these things slide. But Judge Schroeder knew the result he wanted.
