Could Speaker Pelosi sue Trump for reckless endangerment for sending the armed mob to the Capitol?

Don't know how the law works, but a quick googling showed that a conviction could lead to up to seven years in prison.

Plenty of codefendants to throw into the mix, too: Fox News, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Facebook, Twitter . . . too many to list.

Would also love to see her punch him in the face, too.

New (to me) website and blog article: "Pentagon Joins DHS in Destroying Potential J6 Evidence"

The website is National Security Archives. Their blog is called "Unredacted," which is where the article on the Pentagon destroying evidence is located.

An excerpt:

The Pentagon has joined the Department of Homeland Security in destroying potential evidence related to the January 6 Capitol attack. Open government organization American Oversight posted court records related to its FOIA lawsuit for DoD January 6 records on its website, and the records indicate that the Pentagon “wiped” government-issued phones for senior officials that were in charge of mobilizing the National Guard’s response to the insurrection. The Washington Post reports that the erasure impacts the phone records of numerous senior officials, including then-acting defense secretary Christopher C. Miller and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy.

The court records indicate that the erasure is in keeping with DoD and Army policy for employees who have left the agency. An investigation of the Pentagon’s records retention schedules will help verify this claim, which, if true, is an egregious oversight that may impact the January 6 committee’s investigation. It would also put further pressure on the National Archives and Records Administration to do a more thorough job vetting agency records retention schedules.

The website also has an article stating that while Nixon was in Moscow in 1959, he was subjected to doses of radiation at his hotel.

Anyway, just came across this website this morning and thought I'd share.

DeSatan's immigrant stunt is not just red meat for the MAGAs. It's also a distraction from the

flood of damning evidence that the leader of the Republican Party, Traitor Trump, stole top-secret documents from the United States and probably sold them to Russia and Saudi Arabia.

The stunt also distracts from the wildly unpopular GOP travesty of overturning Roe v. Wade.

And it also serves to overshadow the giant accomplishments that Biden has racked up just in the last week.

But I do agree that DeSatan and Abbott's main motivation is to bring the immigration issue to the forefront before the midterms to try to make Biden and the Dems look soft on immigration, whereas they themselves look tough on immigration and oh-so-clever by owning the libs in this way.

Could the DOJ shut down Mar-a-Lago and clear everyone out of it, since it is a crime scene?

Could they do the same at all of Trump's other properties and conduct searches for the information missing from those folders?

I kind of doubt it or they would have done so already (you would think). But that would, I think, be an appropriate response to Judge Cannon's shutting down the criminal investigation until a Special Master has been chosen and has gone through the 11,000 documents.

September 7, 2022

Yesterday, before the nuclear documents leak, I said I could wait until after the midterms for

Traitor Trump to be indicted. Changed my mind: he MUST be indicted NOW.

To use Judge Cannon's phrasing, indicting Trump now "would ensure at least an appearance of" our taking the theft and possible distribution of our country's top-secret documents seriously and our adhering to the concept of no one being above the law. As it is, the failure to take action bolsters the Republicans' attempts to downplay Trump's treasonous act.

This cannot stand. He steals 11,000 documents, refuses to give them back, gives some back, lies that there are no more to give back, lies that there is no nuclear information in the documents, but there actually is nuclear information in the documents? And 40 folders are empty?!

The DOJ is likely waiting to indict because of concern over the midterms and worry that the MAGATs will turn violent like on January 6.

If the MAGATs do turn violent, (1) the Biden administration will deal with them, and (2) violence on the part of the MAGATs will further energize our side, plus independents and some Republican voters, to get to the polls this November and vote for Democratic candidates.

Remember when "Harry-Inept the Spy" gave a self-indulgent, disrespectful speech in front of

the CIA memorial wall that honors members of the intelligence community who died during their service to our country?

Trump’s actual speech was rambling, and while he spent a trivial amount of time acknowledging the service of the CIA employees, he never acknowledged the sacrifice the wall represented. Instead, he chose to try to convince a group of highly intelligent people that he didn’t say what he is on camera as saying. He talked about how unfairly the press treated him. He complained about underreporting of the inauguration attendance.

This is essentially the equivalent of lighting a cigarette off the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Trump's theft, mishandling, and probable sale of top secret documents that could result in even more deaths of members of the intelligence community is more proof that he has no love for our country or respect for people who risk and sacrifice their lives for all of us.

What additional proof do his idiot cult members need before they understand that Trump is the greatest threat to the United States since Osama bin Laden? (Yup, I went there.)

I wonder if Traitor Trump's next move will be to threaten to disclose top-secret information if he

is indicted. "Some a dese people workin' undercover in some a dese countries . . . dey seem like nice folks! It'd be a shame if dey got hurt."

He fancies himself as so clever, so cunning, he probably believed that having that information would be his ace in the hole. But if he did try something like this, you would think the cuffs would come out.

Still can't believe this is happening in our country. Merrick Garland must indict twice-impeached, treasonous FPOTUS.

Trump, Kushner, Saudi Arabia, and the nuclear-related documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Just wanted to remind everyone of this news story from 2019:


New York Times, March 2, 2019:

Jared Kushner slipped quietly into Saudi Arabia this week for a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, so the question I’m trying to get the White House to answer is this: Did they discuss American help for a Saudi nuclear program?

Of all the harebrained and unscrupulous dealings of the Trump administration in the last two years, one of the most shocking is a Trump plan to sell nuclear reactors to Saudi Arabia that could be used to make nuclear weapons.

Even as President Trump is trying to denuclearize North Korea and Iran, he may be helping to nuclearize Saudi Arabia. This is abominable policy tainted by a gargantuan conflict of interest involving Kushner.

Jared is such a shit. I would not be surprised if he was behind stolen documents containing nuclear weapons–related materials.

The reason Mike Pence has been silent about Jan. 6 thus far: "So Help Me God."

Looks like Pence has a book coming out this fall, entitled So Help Me God.

NEW YORK, July 26—Simon & Schuster announced today that it is publishing SO HELP ME GOD by former Vice President Mike Pence on November 15, 2022. The book recounts his journey from his youth in Columbus, IN, to the vice presidency. It is the inside story of the Trump Administration by its second-highest ranking official and of a profound faith that has guided Pence throughout his life. The most robust defense of the Trump record of anyone who served in the administration, SO HELP ME GOD also chronicles President Trump’s severing of their relationship on January 6, 2021 when Pence kept his oath to the Constitution.

Interesting title, huh? Meaningful on so many levels! And GOP-loyalist to the end, note the post-midterm-elections publication date.

We need to do to gun stores and gun shows what anti-abortionists do to women's health clinics.

We need to stage protests in front of every gun store in the nation and at every gun show and at every sporting goods store where assault rifles are sold. Oh, and at the NRA, of course.

We need to bring signs saying, "BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS NOW!" and so on.

Being Democrats, we should NOT follow the anti-abortionists' acts of violence against people or property.

Yes, the gun lovers will be pissed. Yes, this could lead to violence. Yes, we will be arrested. But we need to be as relentless as the anti-abortionists.

Remember John Lewis and all the other civil rights activists in the 60s. They did what they had to do to bring about change.
