As far as I can tell, none of the video that has been making the rounds thus far is actually from any camera controlled by Capitol Police (I assume they are responsible), but has been referenced a fair bit in the actual indictments. So it’s not that such footage doesn’t exist, just that we are not privy to it (nor…

Other folks who know things are saying that it must take place after. Since this has never happened before I think our conclusion should be to not trust anyone who says they know anything on this particular topic.

There is definitely much confusion about this...

I know that’s a thing and I also know that it’s going around Twitter that one of those things that gets taken away from him is secret service, but it’s not correct. Those other things are true, and people assume that the SS thing is true too because Nixon didn’t have it, but that was only because he declined it (plus…

No - he still gets that no matter what - and that’s actually a good thing.

I am so sorry for your loss.

But the Georgia SOS basically admitted it was his office though, right? I thought I saw he said something along the lines of “I didn’t want to get into another situation like we did with Lindsay Graham” where LadyG just lied about everything that was said on their call a while back.

You sure about that? I thought the fifth amendment protects from self-incrimination, and since they could still be charged by the state (because Trump can’t pardon for state crimes), I think they would still be able invoke it at the state level. They couldn’t at the federal level though.

On top of that I think most people don’t realize we continue to pay presidents for the rest of their life.

Does everyone in this thread think you wrote “presidential prison?” Like there is such a thing?

All true. I guess I’m maybe thinking the election reform battle is going to have to happen in the states more? Just trying to stay hopeful.

Sure, but let’s say Biden wins and the Senate ends up 51-49 in their favor after the Georgia specials. When you have the other two, you can get say someone like Mitt Romney to play ball with you, and Kamala can break the tie.

It would be pretty delicious if Fox News ends up being the first network to call it for Biden, as they have already called Arizona and do not seem interested in taking that back, and Nevada looks like it should be mostly counted today.

As for the more pertinent topic of Iowa? Don’t put any hope in it. You won’t find a more racist, sexist and homophobic backwater even in the deepest south.

I heard good live but then caught the captions said go ahead. Also several folks I follow on twitter rewound it and heard go ahead the second time.

Unless I missed it, there was not even one... “You couldn’t protect your boss from COVID, why should the American people believe you can protect them?”... from Kamala. I can only imagine that had to be their strategy and cannot for the life of me figure out why.

Make American Republicans B.I.T.C.H.E.S. - Love it.

Surprised I hadn’t heard that given he was my former governor. He actually did have some reasonable qualifications (compared to other Trump ambassadors) for the job even if I did despise the guy. He even stepped down from being active governor to take it.

Why does nobody ask - “What makes them unequal?” For all the other groups listed there is an obvious answer.

Who does speak for Anthony? who said anything about reading minds?
