Unfit For Any Office
The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Insurrection has now spoken.
The presentation began in solemn tones as the committee entered the chamber, Rep. Bennie Thompson’s gavel struck the opening of the last public hearing of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
The review was similar to a season opener of a complicated tv show. Familiarity was made with regard to the characters and what took place in a shorthand way. By the time footage was shown of the mob at the top of the steps and entering the capitol brought me back to the day and the suspension of understanding I felt watching the real life fight unfold. I felt tears and panic wave over me again from images, nearly two years and thousands of miles away.
We learned a few bits of information that were new to us. There will be more and more and more. There will be nearly infinite details to come of the power sought and lies told to control others to a criminal end.
DJTrump was at the center of the hearings information and thrust. He had help, and soldiers however, it was the point of the Committee, to show who was at the top and make recommendations for inditement, prosecution and punishment if warranted, to the Department of Justice. Trump was identified with little opening for discussion as the genesis. It was Trumps child and he never quit pressuring its existence.
MSNBC, thanks for the graphics from my tv screen posted above. We have the possible guys pictured here that are being referred for inditement. The Committee recommended inditements of Donald and Eastman and unspecified others. All worked for Trumps vision of more of Trump in the White House.
In this above screenshot, MSNBC shows from the left, hopeful new Speaker of the House Qevin McCarthy (supported by Rep. Green). Gym Jordan is next and also next hopeful new Speaker of the House (supported by Rep. Bobert). Then Perry and Biggs, all of whom failed to bring themselves forward to the committee when subpoenaed. That will all get straightened out too.
So, it’s over. The recommendations were strong and the main reason for the hearings has always been to uncover more information and present it to us, the public for our understanding. The stew of mis, disinformation and propaganda have the strongest of minds working to make a clear understanding. Purposeful muddying of the landscape of facts which continues in the unregulated forum of Twitter. Below is an example
It’s odd that people who lie as easily as they breathe find it difficult to lie under oath, which is why (Perry is in both screens) some people don’t want to appear in front of a committee or in court when summoned. Some folks Like General Flynn retired, got so tired of pleading “the fifth” during a deposition, the words “Fft” became barely recognizable on the tape. I think it was over 500 times.
In the peeling back of the layers of lies and as time goes forward finding a distance from it all… the stories out of the Trump White House. The poor decisions about the virus the subsequent counting of votes and complaints and nagging through the court system and the rallies and more grifting of the campaign for donations. Gaining some distance at all has brought clarity for more eyes seeing 45 as the loser of the election and just, well, 45 is a loser. Perhaps it was the latest grift of $99. NFT’s that weren’t NFT’s, weren’t $99. and more to uncover, if one cares, about the company that generates the images. It was kind of like finding out Santa has a fifth in his pants.
People bought in from the beginning. The truth was there. The failed marriages, the rape allegations, the misogyny, the drug use, bankruptcies galore. But people bought in and as time marches, people are seeing once again, the ugliness of him. This time he lied to them. That wasn’t anticipated. He could screw over some workman for overcharging, some woman who flirted but wouldn’t put out. But not ME. I had him, his back, I sent money. I have his flag. This process is going to take time and some will never see it.
Trump has always been a criminal and why he has been able to get away with his money laundering ways at Trump Tower is a cottage industry of intrigue on social media of all kinds. Mary Trump’s first book is a look into Trump and the family that sheds some light on his early years and personal failures not unlike looking at the torture of small animals found in children who grow to be serial killers. In the first years of the presidency, the book brought some comfort as to his personality. I do not believe TFG changed, but I do think his worst impulses became exaggerated as he was able to manipulate more people. He is the genesis. Always was.
Trump managed through the orchestration of photos, lies and influential friends such as Jeffery Epstein, Mark Burnett not to mention the deals Trump cemented to gigantic donors of extreme right wing ideology, to live two lives during the presidency. Criminal grifting is how the Israeli embassy was moved to Jerusalem and how Roe V. Wade was ultimately thrashed and trashed. All the while frog in a blender dancing on stage to YMCA, a stolen song with royalties never paid. He rented but didn’t pay for most of the venues either. What you know depends on who you listen to and that is a huge part of the problem of the last half decade.
Two lives of Trump in the White House. The grift, the lie, vs. the cover of signing bogus bills like a geiger counter surrounded in the Oval. The infrastructure week that never came. The running of the country that was done by career government and then the actual Trump presidency that we are beginning to really uncover in its back room dealings with ultra right wing like the two sets of “books” of the Trump Organization now found guilty of 17 counts of a variety of frauds to keep money rather than pay it to the government in taxes. It was gymnastic in nature.
Crazy or criminal will be the next discussion. Can’t it be both? This level of criminal, one must be crazy. It will be discussed.
All this information in time for family holiday dinners across the nation and the world. Tums anyone?
