What are you talking about? Did you miss the Jan 6 hearings that went on for MONTHS?

Imagine a world in which Democrats can take more substantial action than holding a speech symposium in the Capitol.

yes, hearings, that did what? what charges were brought against the politicians who organized it? You know its in the constitution that organizing an insurrection is punishable by a ban from holding public office. How many was that applied to?

oh, right, some Democrats argued that a constitutional amendment that would have prevented this Trump term is "dead letter." only a couple states attempted to pursue this and were treated as outliers, ignored by congress and the rest of the country.

Oh, and yes i saw the Jan. 6 hearings. At their conclusion, where were the charges against the Republicans in Congress who aided and abetted the attempted coup? That was rhetorical by the way. For all the good work the committee did, there was a clear intention to avoid charging their colleagues.

I think they explicitly agreed to that to get Cheney on board.

Seems probable and she reportedly led an internal charge not to go after Ginny Thomas. But as we’re seeing now there’s a built-in weakness with the Party and a nauseating desire to work with the same people who literally want them dead. Voters see that and are sickened by it.

Look at the date Merrick Garland was sworn in and then the dates when his investigations into the attempted coup and stolen documents cases began. That’s the story.
