And I guess when admittedly "anti-mob" prosecutors have parades of mobsters testifying against other mobsters we should always acquit on all counts. Genius.
Just another depressing reminder of how far this country has fallen. The D committee with 2 solid Rs (including 1 particularly conservative R) lines up one formerly or CURRENTLY Trump-sympathetic witness after another to explain how Trump tried to steal an election and.....it means nothing to a large minority of the country. JUST partisan. Meaningless. Kangaroos and such. Up IS down......
The problem is that they are afraid to watch. Nobody wants to admit to themselves that they were conned.
It's interesting to wonder what fraction of those afraid/unwilling to watch or hear about the 6 January hearings (or most anything bad about Trump/current R party) are true believers, and how many are simply choosing sides?
I mean, with R politicians (or at least the national ones), it seems that the conventional wisdom is that the vast majority of them see the bad/BS, but go along/don't resist for a variety of unprincipled reasons.
But what's the breakdown in the population? For example, of those willing to say out loud that these hearings are nothing, what percentage actually believe that? Not sure that I have a very good feel for that.
Uh-oh. Someone who is SOMEHOW smart enough to see Trump and Trumpism for what it is is apparently CLAIMING to be at least somewhat anti-abortion. My god, THAT can't be!! My brain is thoroughly scrambled.
So......standby to be called a (dreaded) "conservative" !! And maybe even "Cankle lover."
MO-RANS.
Agreed! Fat Hurts is hereby declared a DINO (Democrat in Name Only). He's probably a pedophile and almost certainly a Russian plant!
Fats is a lib except when it comes to abortion. I knew he wouldn't be saying much about being pro-life after the SCOTUS ruling because he refuses to debate with libs. He remained mute on the Roe v Wade thread- he's afraid of losing membership in the LR lib club.

Can you blame him? You see how viciously the non-Trumpettes have turned upon him here.
Yeah, I read it. The whole shebang, even the goofball dissent. The whole nine yards, I read. Read the whole thing carefully once, and have since referred to portions of it several times.
Go ahead, ask me anything. Ask me anything about Dobbs. I know that stuff upside down, right front to left back. I even read the fine print in the goddam footnotes, that's how much I know Dobbs. Ask me anything, and I will set you straight one way or the other on this stuff.
Other than the three-sentence summary, what are some things in the majority opinion that businesses need to know about?
All or almost all of it, Spuds. If an department, agency, or business has any interest or obligations affected by access to and provision of abortions, they need to understand all the reasoning and arguments involved in the ultimate decision, including all of the Roe case and all of the Casey case. I'd probably have an easier time, and definitely take up less space, trying to summarize the pieces of Dobbs that are perhaps redundant to other parts, or nothing but dicta, and could be skipped over if there was some kind of time crunch.
It's bizarre having to explain this. Like explaining to someone who wants to drive cross country to a particular place in California why they should look at a roadmap of the US, instead of just checking to see if the west coast exists and then start driving. Keep in mind, the only reason you are talking about this whole line of thought where if someone isn't burying their head in the sand regarding SCOTUS opinions, then they surely must be scheming to violate the law of the land, is batshift nuts to begin with. Read back and look at the genesis of this strained idea you are now promoting. It came from the garbled, combined thoughts of a busted, humiliated liar and an unsophisticated troll.

Ruthless!
I would respect Fats more if he would take a bold, forceful stand on pro-life just as he does for EV's and global warming, but alas it's crickets....He's too scared.
A reporter from MSNBC claims his source told him that the witness is not Pence and not Cipollone.
Also, he says that the committee members have been told not to speak to the press at all.
I'm still thinking it could be someone who can prove Trump knew the plan of the Proud Boys.
It could even be Steve Bannon. He was at the Willard Hotel on the 6th and Bannon would know if Trump knew about the Proud Boys. Plus, Bannon did receive a pardon and therefore can not take the fifth. This could be his way of getting out of his current trouble with the DOJ.
But I'll admit, Bannon would be a real surprise and he would need to go into witness protection because the M@GAs would assassinate him.
I don't think it's likely to be Bannon, but it is possible.
Just one poll but scotus may have woken a sleeping giant.
Marist is rated A by 538 - it’s one of the best pollsters. But still, outliers happen.
Congressional generic ballot, Marist April Republican 47% Democratic 44% June Democratic 48% Republican 41% A 10-point swing to the Democrats post-Dobbs
Those people are registering as Republucans to influence the GOP primaries. Either they want to prevent the Trumpian traitors from getting nominated, or they want the Trumpian traitors to get nominated so that the Democratic candidates have better chances in the general.
Remember Todd Akin of MO, and Richard Mourdock of IN? They got nominations with substantial "help" from Dems.

Nobody cares about J6.
Fats, we all want you to defend pro-life just as enthusiastically as you do for EV's. You can do it and I will defend you. Be bold, fight against your own side for once. Show us that you have the guts.
Examples? You read it carefully so you must have 1 or 2 good examples of things a business might find useful
I thought this was kind of key: "important motives for the laws were the fear that Catholic immigrants were having more babies than Protestants and that the availability of abortion was leading White Protestant women to “shir[k their] maternal duties.”"
Now, I ask you, if you are in Emp Bennies, are you going to be taking a more critical look at any white Protestant women asking for Friday off as a "personal day"? Yeah, damn right.
This is by far, the best Kamala impression I ever ever seen. Her laugh, the pauses, the mannerisms, even the hands clapping, all on point. SNL should hire her.

From scanning Twitter it looks like the best bet is that British videographer who did some taping of the Trump campaign and family.

Pretty sure there is not a single poster on this thread who would place a non-zero value on having your respect.

If that's it then it means there is something really, really major he caught on film. Otherwise, it could wait.

After more thought, it's not necessarily true that Bannon can't take the fifth. It would depend on how narrow his pardon was. If the pardon was only for the border wall fraud, he could still plead the fifth for his involvement in January 6th.

Millions are watching these hearings.
I've always said I was pro-life. Nobody has ever been interested in my views on the subject beyond that.
