Yet, while we’re witnessing some acts of courage, it seems there’s an increase in unspeakably vile behaviour from the right, especially from the likes of MTG, Boebert and Gaetz. If their aim is to distract from the investigation into the insurrection, they’re doing a damn good job of it.<br />Lisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-22118951016987065392022-07-27T09:29:50.762-05:002022-07-27T09:29:50.762-05:00Being the cause of anything makes someone with his...Being the cause of anything makes someone with his pathology feel like g-d.

Second, the J6 committee has done everything right (my only tiny quibble is that more of it should have been in prime time). I suspect one particular Vice-Chair is behind a lot of the "done right" stuff: choosing former president's supporters as public witnesses and ending each hearing with a cliffhanger or a bombshell. People love a good cliffhanger and want to watch the next episode to see what happens next Too bad this isn't a work of fiction and I know people who are still in total denial or still think it's "politics".Alanahttps://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-28403906637757493032022-07-26T13:12:26.696-05:002022-07-26T13:12:26.696-05:00I hate when everything is compared to Hitler and N...I hate when everything is compared to Hitler and Nazis because I think it diminishes the extreme level of depravity,.

We are at the edge of a cliff barely holding on and if we lose we will be going to back to Germany 1940's and we all know how that ends. I'm terrified most days but I'll keep doing what I can where I can and hope there are more like of the sane group.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797951607214342467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-37976914029800512242022-07-26T11:56:21.844-05:002022-07-26T11:56:21.844-05:00Progress, of the "any port in a storm" v...Progress, of the "any port in a storm" variety.Karen BakingInATornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908944310611937600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-82439151264928000952022-07-26T11:46:21.323-05:002022-07-26T11:46:21.323-05:00We're changing the 'p' to a 'k'...We're changing the 'p' to a 'k'.
