    As 2000 Mules has shown now, those who BELIEVED that there was widespread fraud involved in the election were quite right. Their hunches based on testimony and statistical analysis were on the money.

    That includes me, and I did not vote for Trump. Common sense plays a roll.

    Good spelling plays a roll too...

    2000 Mules is a joke... It would be a National Joke, if anybody more than a few thousand people gave a crap....

    And you can base your assertions on an actual crime which shows me the type of mind I'm dealing with here.

    Challenging Electors is LEGAL. It is allowed by the Electoral Voting Act. Should that he changed? You betcha and the Dems should join the Reps attempts to do so instead of blocking.

    And these partisan politicians are qualified to make psychological evaluations??? Oh please spare me.

    Do you know this commission quite possibly just gave cause to have any court prosecution declare a mistrial for several of those advisers and associates of Trump. Both former US Attorney Andrew McCarthy and Constitutional Law professor Jonathan Turkey were making the point yesterday that at the end of statements yesterday committee members were noting that their witnesses testified but several Trump advisers took the 5th Amendment which shows they must be guilty of something and if they weren't they would testify. That is a violation of their fundamental rights. Any attorney straight out of law school would request a mistrial because the government prejudged their client as guilty in a official public government proceeding for executing their fundamental rights and that their right to due process violated.

    This guy is what I would call a "reasonable" Republican by today's standards, and he's still a complete moron...

    Let's not have the DOJ indict T**** for crimes because...... "it will be considered a politicized travesty by about half the country"

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-don-t-indict-trump-165736524.html

    Hey... here's an idea!!... Bite Me, Rich Lowry..... Ignore criminal actions because this one will fight it, up to and including the MC of the US....

    Somebody needs to confiscate his "conservative" card and replace it with a snowflake...

    How will the next ****ing criminal be treated then?

    You can't allow him to get away with his ****. It'll just encourage worse behavior, and maybe by someone a lot smarter than Bonespurs.

    I had to wryly laugh at this exchange towards the end of yesterday's hearing with Donoghue

    SNIP
    And then he turned to me and said, so what happens to him now, meaning Mr. Clark.

    And he understood that Mr. Clark reported to me. And I — I didn't initially understand the question. I - - I said Mr. President? He said, are you going to fire him? And I said I don't have the authority to fire him. He's a Senate confirmed assistant attorney general. And he said, well, who has the authority to fire him?

    And I said only you do, sir. And he said, well, I'm not going to fire him. I said Alright. Well, then we should all go back to work.
    ENDSNIP

    I really got the feeling Donoghue wanted to be asked if HE would have fired Clark if he had the authority.. Kinzinger should have gone there...

    Yeah, sorry, role.

    As I loan out the DVD version I have to friends, the only ones who refuse to view it are those registered Democrats whose worldview is threatened by it. They are so deeply in denial that their only position is judging a book by its cover, judging a documentary by what they've been told by talking heads on TV.

    I'm sure you meant mockumentary....

    And you BOUGHT a DVD version of this?? No whining about gas prices from you!!

    PT Barnum proven right once again....

    If anything in that had ANY probative value, where are my lawsuits (civil or criminal)?? Surely we are well within the statute of limitations for election fraud

    You bring a court case with anything from this pipe dream listed as evidence (that gets past a first review from a judge), and I'll give it a watch. Deal?

    Is "2000 Mules" a comedy?

    Well, it was certainly produced, written, and filmed as one, according to Bill Barr...

    Note emphasis on the word "written".... clearly belongs in the fiction section at the local Blockbuster frequented by those who believe it means anything...

    Hey, if wingers find that stuff enjoyable, knock yourselves out... everybody needs a temporary escape from reality (it's the temporary part they forget about)

    On that topic, we finally saw Top Gun 2 yesterday..... very watchable piece of entertainment.... a little hokey (as was expected), but the 2 hours flew by (ba bing!)

    Here's a nice article on how this committee has done a good job by not making mistakes of past Congressional committees...

    I'd have to agree with this.... Mostly same-party witnesses.... No boring self-serving opening statements.... Keeping all the hearings at 2.5 hours or less...

    https://www.npr.org/2022/06/25/1107...some-lessons-from-previous-televised-hearings

    My nominees so far

    Best Witness - Richard Donoghue
    Best Supporting Witness - Greg Jacobs
    Worst Witness - Judge Luttig
    Best Questioner - I gotta go with Kinzinger... he missed a couple of opportunities and he had the best pro witnesses, but fine job.

    Even considering the scum they are investigating, these have all been mostly enjoyable to watch... and highly effective.

    The committee has been demonstrated as a self serving hyper partisan committee utilizing peoples ignorance as a weapon, bringing no new information to the table, and simply political theatre. This is why no one is watching it. It’s ratings are low. People recognize the j6 fiery but peaceful protest of no consequence was a nothing burger.

    Recent actual insurrection attempts have been made by the left though over rvw. Astounding hypocrisy

    $25 for a DVD showing so much is well worth the money, but I hunger for knowledge.

    Likely you prefer being spoon-fed by the many Deacons in The Church of The Poisoned Mind. To each his own.

    Then you failed miserably, according to the first word of a good simple definition of the word...

    Facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.

    Your screenshot didn't copy the whole thing understandably due to forum rules, but it would appear Trump's more concerned with his political image then that of the justice department's actions, which is interesting to note to say the least.

    Understandably, since the DOJ has proven itself to be so highly partisan, so filled with hatred for Trump and his supporters.

    Committee has added a new, unscheduled, hearing for tomorrow... with mystery witness(es)...

    SNIP
    The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET, according to an advisory the committee sent out Monday. In an unusual move, the committee has not identified the witness, as it did for previous hearings.
    ENDSNIP

    Who ya got? My wife said Jeffrey Clark (actually, she said Pajama Boy, but I got it), but the committee wouldn't reconvene for that 5th taking scumbag....

    Could it be the big P? (Pence or P*ssy, depending on who ya ask)

    Regarding the election of 2020, I and many others HAVE those facts thanks to 2000 Mules.

    You and the others who are afraid to watch the documentary do NOT have those facts.

    Unlike you, I strive to gather knowledge, and many times that involves knowledge that is unpleasant to contemplate.
