Obligatory
This is great. We're going to get clips of Trump in front of Congress answering questions, and I guarantee that they will be funny.
I doubt he will respond and I doubt he will face consequences for failing to respond.
Maybe, but I think this is a situation where both sides might conclude that it's in their best interest to go through with it. Dems get to say that they're holding Trump accountable, Trump gets to say that he's the target of a witch hunt.
Trump will say that regardless, and honestly I don't think any committed chuds would even be more emboldened by there being slightly more material backing to that idea
face consequences
Oh, there will be hell to pay for Trump. The dems will write a sharply critical comment and it will be introduced into the Congressional Record.
Yeah Trump can probably claim the witch hunt whether or not he shows up (in fact he's been doing it all along). I don't think Congress has the brass tacks to send actual cops to force Tump to come down, but I think it's likely that he won't pass up the opportunity to be on TV in the Important Building.
Trump being arrested by actual police would be :sicko-pig: funny. Watching all the reactionaries who say the BLM "Riots" were unjustified suddenly flip their shit and riot because a
whiteorange man was arrested peacefully.I think it's much more likely he stays at home at tweets about it but who fucking knows anymore
libs going to go absolutely mental when this leads no where, just melting into a pile of resin
They'll just have another "walls are closing in" thing to be strung along by next week.
they'll see the 'humiliation' of being on the stand as the pay off to all of their expectations
Here's the kicker: that session of the J6 committee was their last meeting before the midterms. They could all be disbanded if the dems get creamed in a couple of weeks
Can’t imagine the future, can’t remember the past.
Istg this has just fully infected American society. The only thing that exists is now. Ramifications for the future? Doesn't matter. How we got to the present day? Doesn't matter. What's going to happen in the future due to our inaction with Covid? Doesn't matter. How did the Ukraine War start and what were the conditions and precursors to the conflict? Doesn't matter
"Well you know you gotta live in the moment, man. Don't worry about the past. That was then this is now. Don't worry about the future good things come to good people"
Fucking hippies are the worst type of :LIB:
I've been thinking about this a lot, the way every new imperial war is justified by creating a permanent state of exception
Nonono, the committe ANNOUNCED that they were GOING to subpoena him.
Also, this was their last hearing
Also didn't he get subpoenaed before and just completely ignored it??
Fucking goddamn liberals man, shit
I watched it on tv a little this morning and they briefly talked about how no charges were expected to be filed, that the committee's goal was to make sure that something like Jan 6th never happened again.
yeah, better not do anything if we want to make sure this never happens again, that'll do the trick
Lmao completely forgot they’re still doing that. Have they made any progress?
They're "voting on whether to subpoena him" today apparently.
The Parliamentarian licks their lips and rubs their hands together from behind a Presidential Blue curtain
I'm excited to see how he wriggles out of this one..
As in I know he will. I'm just interested in what dumb ass process gets broken that allows him to not do anything about this
The only thing worse than this weak liberal response to these fascists would be the liberals capitulating to their desire to completely forget about it
I recently claimed that the libs will think that the 'humiliation' of being on the stand is the comeuppance that Donald Trump deserves.
I now am fully lathing that Trump will be coked up and full dementia mode on the stand, that the libs think this will kill his presidential hopes, and then he'll win with 95% of the electoral college once state assemblies get to certify elections
Most of libs supported the Iraq war, they just have a disagreement on "tactics" with Bush. An Iraq war committee would also probably find that Biden was part of the conspiracy in his position as the Senate foreign committee chairman.
Yeah... our current president was the biggest damn supporter of all. His pep rally speech before the vote is still an amazing piece of bloodthirsty raw unfiltered imperialism. Kinda weird how his lifelong stutter isn't present though.
Tricky Dick, Sick Willie, and Teflon Don: the Three Stooges of Congressional jurisprudence.
If democrats lose the house in November this pointless committee will end so you know what that means! This is the most important election of our lives. :vote:
They not gonna charge him for this if I remember correctly? Right?
Trump's legal troubles are the Shepard's Tone of justice, it's always falling, falling, ooooo it's gonna get there soon! Still falling, walls closing in... they're gonna be here soon! Oooh here it comes! Can't you hear it? It's gonna be over for him SOON!! Still falling...
Ol' Donny Trump is going to die before they get anything to stick to him.
This will surely stop Drumpf, we all know that more press and more TV time killed his chances last election!
