I really hope JS gets to testify publicly. But I doubt it will happen. Jordan and others are possibly too scared about their own guilt in helping Jan 6 happen. Jordan should have been expelled for his behind the scenes role. Instead he Chairs this Committee.
Such an impressive resume having prosecuted cases at state, federal and international Courts. I would love to see the MAGA Republicans have a conversation with him.
🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right??

Oh come in. We want to hear his voice.
BREAKING: Jack Smith brilliantly calls Donald Trump's bluff and urges Congress and the Justice Department to let him testify publicly "in open hearings" to set the record straight.

This is the last thing that MAGA wants the former special counsel to do...

Trump wants Jack Smith in jail.

Yet Merrick Garland, who appointed Jack Smith, isn't on Trump's enemies list.

Funny how that is.

Guarantee Garland slow-walked everything related to Trump's crimes by design and by agreement with the GOP.

In many ways I think the 7 million plus protesters and the bulldozing of the Whitehouse woke something up in the power elite. It’s all hands on deck time.
📌Jack Smith signaling he is ready to publicly go on the record with his findings into Trump's violent attack Jan. 6; Virginia being heard from on gerrymandering; Obama speaking on the urgency of standing up for our Democracy ...

📌The battle for America has been joined in earnest the past 24 hours.
This testimony would be must see TV. I would be fan-girling to hear Jack Smith’s version of his investigations. I had hoped to watch his work in the courts but alas….Let’s see whether the Republicans have the guts to do this. (Doubtful)
🚨BREAKING: Former special counsel Jack Smith is calling Republicans' bluff, turning the tables Thursday by requesting to testify publicly in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Doubtful Chuck Grassley would allow such public testimony that would hurt the Führer.
Maybe not but then it’s called taxation without representation and we in the states can cut off the money spigot. Blue states are the main contributors to their haul.
I’m also starting to think there is no intention of starting Congress up again.
Note to any voter anywhere in the world with a viable democracy. Make sure the person you vote for believes in the founding principles of your country’s Constitutional laws. Learn a lesson from America’s horrible error.

It looks increasingly like Donald Trump wants to cling on to power beyond his legal term.

President Trump has authority over the White House and the right to turn the East Wing into a ballroom. But authority is not the same as stewardship.

You don’t say. Totally in character for this group.
COLOR ME SHOCKED: Jon Sheptock, a Christian musician and former worship minister at a Texas Baptist Church, was arrested in late September on charges of possession and production of child pornography.

We know the ending to the Dictator in a bunker story. So…go right ahead. Build away.
You know when you watch a disaster movie… and the pres runs the country from a high tech bunker under the WH? That bunker is under the east wing. It’s called the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, or PEOC. And the ballroom is probably a cover for upgrades.

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.
Well this is surprisingly good news…won’t take back the government from the lawless whackadoodle crazies without a Congressional majority. Republicans for some reason never expect Democrats to take action in response. I guess because they usually don’t.
Breaking News: Democratic lawmakers in Virginia plan to redraw congressional maps, hoping to hand their party two or three more House seats.
These so called “federal agents” cheapen the word that so many have had to train YEARS to get. These are just off the/street vigilantes for Trump. Otherwise known as ICE.
The lack of trigger discipline here is a huge yikes.

Donald Trump is tearing down the fucking White House…and no one will stop him. This is a dictatorship.
You are correct more than you know. Recent reports leaked out that 50% of applicants CANNOT pass an OPEN BOOK TEST. think about that. The answers are right in front of them and they cannot use it. Says so much about who is being taken for this “force”.
The stupidity of ICE is just breathtaking. This ain't about law enforcement, it's about terrorising anyone not white.
I mean WTF, who spends their time play pretending to deliver a bag of mail. 🤪🙄

And now a 700% increase in war-grade weapons expenditures.
Gov. Pritzker: "They literally did a military attack on a building with a Black Hawk helicopter...You don't arrest an entire building, detain everybody, zip tie children, hold elderly people in a U-Haul for house — U.S. citizens!"
Who wants total transparency of a clown show? Not me. I’d rather see food assistance and FEMA money going out to people who need it. Health insurance support. Lots of people losing their jobs right now.
