and of course, it's not too far from a Hooker

Some OH state congressman in the area in which I'm from was recently elected by campaigning on the Trump train. No previous experience in govt.  The only things he's done so far are to introduce bills to rename a state park and some other things after Trump.

After watching that vice doc on Trump voters, I'm convinced that most of his base are these troglodytes who have never or rarely participated in politics or voting before.  They're anti-govt, anti-establishment, or they feel like they've been "screwed" by "the system" in some way. The R party are really between a rock and a hard place with respect to their future. Apart from their religious and gun-toting constituents who will follow them no matter what, do they transform into the party of racist, anti-establishment yahoos and keep nominating leaders like Trump, or do they try and return to the traditional R party and risk losing these trog voters as they return to their caves, along with losing some traditional R voters the longer this lunacy continues?

#trumppants is trending becase twitter is trying to figure out if trump put his pants on backwards, was wearing a diaper, peed himself, or some combination of these, at his gop rally

now, what would be the odds this has "shopped" written all over it.

since trump lost i rarely read twitter anymore. thank god. it's just like 4chan. but with the commercial stakes and reach of a facebook. although i have to admit i enjoyed a bit of 4chan right around 2011. nowadays, the cancer is too much. it's everywhere. the entire cloud has turned into a giant cesspool. the bad outweighs the good. it has become a (mental) health risk.

yeah I also 100% agree with him on that point. there would be no more hacking if there were no more computers, and we went back to using antiquated methods of record keeping like using paper and pencil for everything.

of course, this will never happen, similar to every other piece of fantastical pie in the sky bullshit that he trotted out there. I seriously don't understand how he does things like get out of bed in the morning, brush his teeth, turn on a tv, etc. his fundamental lack of understanding of how just about everything in the world works is mind boggling.

Another day, another extraordinary revelation about Donald Trump’s efforts to corrupt the Justice Department: We’re now learning that, as president, Trump went to far greater lengths than previously known to actively recruit the department in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

This comes after we learned last week that, during the Trump years, the Justice Department subpoenaed the phone records of two House Democrats, possibly as direct retaliation against two of Trump’s most prominent political foes.

But the latest revelations push us into terrible new territory. First, they fill in important new detail demonstrating that Trump absolutely did fully intend to thwart a duly elected new government — the one chosen by the people — from assuming power, in order to seize a second term for himself illegitimately.

Second, there’s reason to think that in this case, as we learn more the revelations are going to get worse.

Here’s why: There is a chance that House Democrats will soon secure an interview with the person at the center of these new revelations.

That person is Jeffrey Rosen, who became acting attorney general after William P. Barr was pushed out by Trump in December of 2020. If an interview can be secured, Rosen can tell us more about Trump’s efforts to corrupt the department in order to subvert our political system and self rule.

Rosen, we’re now learning, was a key target of Trump’s efforts to get the department to help him overturn the election results. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee just released a tranche of new emails and documents revealing how Trump did this. The department turned the documents over to the committee as part of its ongoing investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Among the key revelations:

Trump’s White House assistant sent Rosen an email on Dec. 14 that included materials purporting to document extensive election fraud in Michigan. The email included “talking points” that said there must be a “review of votes throughout Michigan.”

Just after this happened, a senior Justice Department official forwarded a similar email with these materials to U.S. attorneys in Michigan, which seems like it might have been an effort to get an investigation going.

Less than an hour after those emails were sent, Trump announced on Twitter that Barr would be stepping down, and that Rosen would be replacing him. Importantly, Trump had already sent Rosen his marching orders in terms of helping subvert the election.

On Dec. 29, Trump’s White House assistant sent a draft brief to Rosen and other top department officials that Trump wanted the department to file with the Supreme Court. It called on the court to declare that electors for Joe Biden in six states that Trump lost must not be counted. The email explicitly says Trump personally asked for the brief to be sent for those officials’ review, a direct presidential order.

According to the New York Times, that brief echoed the baseless claims made in the Texas lawsuit that also sought to invalidate Biden’s electors, which the Supreme Court had already dismissed. This shows Trump was fully devoted to subverting the election outcome now matter how fraudulent his legal claims were revealed to be.

There’s lots more here, including additional efforts by others in Trump’s orbit — such as then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows — to pressure the department to examine claims of purported election fraud.

As bad as all this is, we may learn more that’s still worse. That’s because, as sources on the committee tell me, Rosen is in discussions with committee officials about sitting for a transcribed interview.

What we might still learn

Such an interview could fill in critical details. Among the things Rosen could speak to are whether there were additional communications between Trump and Rosen — including verbal ones, as well as unreleased email communications.

If there were more communications between them, Rosen could fill in additional detail about the full scope of Trump’s efforts to get the department to help overturn the election.

Those could easily demonstrate even worse and more concerted efforts to corrupt the department than those we already know about. According to the committee sources, the department has not indicated that what they did turn over is all it has in its possession along these lines.

Rosen might also be able to say when in the timeline he realized just how serious and deliberate Trump’s efforts to overturn the election really were. And he might be able to say more about possible additional efforts by Trump or people around him to get other department officials to scrutinize other examples of supposed election fraud.

Let’s not lose sight of what really happened

Here’s the larger context: Republicans are still refusing to agree to a bipartisan commission to examine the Jan. 6 insurrection. This is coming amid widespread claims by Trump and his propagandists that the violence wasn’t really all that bad or that he didn’t actually intend for the mob he incited to subvert the election’s peaceful conclusion through intimidation and violence.

This newly revealed pressure on the Justice Department came in the days leading right up to that incitement. The more it’s revealed that Trump absolutely did fully intend to subvert the election via corrupt and illicit means to remain in power illegitimately, the harder it is to deny what we all saw with our own eyes.

After failing to accomplish that via his bottomless efforts to corrupt the process, Trump attempted to complete the task with mob political violence. That’s what happened, and the more we learn, the worse it will be.
