Tell your crazy uncle - “Biden was cooperative, while Trump was obstructive.”

Riddle me these: Why was Milquetoast Garland ever appointed AG in the first place? Why did he wait 2 years after the insurrection to start investigating and prosecuting it? Why did he allow Hur’s gratuitous comments included in the report? Why is he still the US Attorney General?

Jamie Raskin 😁 Count on him to nail Mr. Hur. 👍

In plain view, Trump is exhibiting all of the behaviors of an autocrat. In plain view, he is saying simply that the rule of law does not apply to him because he says it doesn’t. He destroys those who are not loyal to him and him only. Hur will be self-protective, so count on Hur to show loyalty to Trump.

Hopefully, the Democrats will ask questions that will bring out the ageism and elder abuse inherent in Hur’s report. Hopefully, the Democrats will bring out the truth.

I'll be looking forward to Jamie Raskin's questioning of Hur. I imagine that Staci Plaskett bites a large chunk out of his ass also.

It was a completely unnecessary comment, intended, no doubt, to disparage Biden. I'm pretty sure Biden didn't pack up these documents, his staff did. So if anyone was well-meaning but befuddled, it was the staffers back when he was VP. He has certainly demonstrated his leadership over the past few years, tallied it up last week and blasted the GOP and the SCOTUS at the SOTU. But if you want a good laugh, watch the clip of Jimmy Kimmell reading T's criticism of him onstage as host of the Oscars (I paraphrase): "But thanks for watching! I'm surprised-- isn't it past your jail time?"

For crying out loud - Page ONE says it all! That he didnt do it purposely & shouldnt be charged!

Then it went on for what - 300 pages? oh well.

I have the hearing set up to record on C-span. Where Repubs will ask stupid questions & Dems will bring out the truth! Does that sound partisan? well I am.

Trump is such a clone of his teacher, Roy Cohn.

Donald Trump is not a victim.

He has to play the victim the rest of his life. First, it's the only thing remotely relatable about him is that he can pretend his (largely self-inflicted) suffering is something like the pain experienced by real people when dealing with him and his policies.

Two, it keeps him alive. The key benefit to always playing the victim is that he's set up so that if he dies in a way that's even slightly suspicious, he'll be an instant martyr. If he doesn't die in public from obviously natural causes, we're in for 500 years of "Oh Blessed Saint Trump, too pure for this sinful world."

Strap in and saw off your ears. It's going to be a terrible ride.

Hopefully he will BE the victim, both in his election loss and even more, his multiple convictions in court

Is HUR testifying because Republican Congresspeople can’t read?, can’t comprehend?

Yes, well, I say to TFG: March 25th.

Barb McQuade’s new book is a must-read for all who consume “news” of any type and from any source, as well as social media. It’s not sufficient to know how to read until one is also able to read between the lines.
