After Joe Biden won the 2020 election Trump and his closest allies went into maniacal overdrive to overturn the results. He had no reason to believe he couldn’t keep himself in power.

As president he’d used the powers of his office to obstruct justice for four years, and if he could obstruct it just a little more, he believed, he could remain president in spite of the sizable majority that voted against him. He had no reason to doubt this, based on his many triumphs over accountability during his long life. He has, literally, never been held accountable for any mistake, let alone crime, why should a lost election be any different?

Glenn Kirschner laid it out so clearly the other day when he was asked about Jeffery Clark, the DOJ bureaucrat who stepped forward to advance Trump’s fraudulent claim about a stolen election in the swing states where Trump hoped to disqualify electors so the House, where Republicans, the minority party, were winners in a straight majority count, two votes per state, under the weird system for deciding on a deadlocked election. Jeffery Clark (American Eichmann) wrote a letter to Georgia that Trump was trying to get the AG who took over after Barr fled to sign, days before the MAGA riot to stop the final certification of Biden’s win. The idea was to claim there was a dispute in the Electors in every swing state Trump lost and throw the decision to the House. Here’s Kirschner:

Jefferey Clark was a willing co-conspirator with Donald Trump when Donald Trump said “look, I know there was no fraud, just say there was fraud and leave the rest to me and my sycophants in Congress.” Jefferey Clark said “I got you, boss, let me draft a memo to the states like Georgia to try to corruptly overturn the election.”

There’s a conspiracy in the harsh light of day, give me three hours in front of a DC jury, I’ll prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

The rest of the seditious conspiracy [1] funded by a group who kicked in $50,000,000 in dark money to promote the lie that Trump’s landslide victory had been stolen by a bipartisan, international cabal of radical Democrats, traitor GOP officials, traitor Trump-appointed judges, dead voters, cheating Blacks, Muslims, Socialists, Illegals, George Soros, the Clintons, the dead former president of Venezuela, and many, many other highly nefarious characters.

While fifty million was spent on advertising the lie about the stolen election, there was another 3.5 million dollars for the organizers of the January 6 Stop the Steal Event at the Ellipse. The date was chosen because it was the last possible moment to block Biden becoming the president. They had no permit for any kind of march that day. Some of these organizers are cooperating with the House January 6 Commission (and hopefully also the DOJ) and at least one contends she had no idea a march to the Capitol, let alone a forcible invasion to stop a joint session of Congress, was part of the plan. She was well-paid, presumably, to get the permit for the Stop the Steal gathering at the Ellipse, publicize it and organize things for the passionate, animated speakers, including one in body armor, to whip up the crowd before Trump stepped up to address his fans from behind bulletproof glass [2].

The Democrats, the party whose leadership decided during the primaries that in spite of the vast popularity of his ideas for fundamental reform, and his string of victories in Democratic primaries, Bernie Sanders would be replaced as the presidential candidate by moderate master of compromise Joe Biden. The party fell in behind this plan, Biden won by more than seven million votes.

Now Democrats, led by President Biden, are quickly and forcefully responding to a violent assault on American democracy, after Trump’s expensive ad campaign promoting a lie including the Communist plan to steal the 2020 election and the rest of Trump’s fight to the death against the hellish conspiracy revealed, with great coyness, by someone named Q (who has gone silent now for many months). They are planning to carefully think about many ways to combat the pugnacious real-time obstruction of the investigation into the MAGA riot on January 6..

Here is a snapshot of the bold actions being taken by the party of Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer et al in the immediate defense of our democracy.

Makes you wonder if they’d all be acting the same way if the MAGA rioters had actually put violent hands on Leader Pelosi and others they taunted and threatened on that dark day in January 2021 when an insane president, not accepting the will of the voters, sent an enraged mob down to stop business in the Capitol, with a large contingent of GOP lawmakers fully embracing his Big Lie and voting to contest the certified election results in numerous states.

[2] from a January 5th news report

The president tweeted Tuesday evening that he would be speaking at the Save America Rally on the Ellipse at 11 a.m.

Several pre-event rallies took place Tuesday, and DC Police said two arrests were made during the first day of demonstrations (as of the afternoon). Charges included carrying a pistol and rifle without a license, possession of high capacity feeding device, unregistered ammunition and firearms, no permit while driving an unauthorized van and possession of illegal fireworks  

Attendees rallying on Wednesday are holding the first amendment rally, “to demand transparency and protect election integrity” on the same day Congress is set to officially approve the 2020 election results. This event comes after President Trump warned via Twitter that there would be a “very big” and “wild” protest on Jan. 6 after he refuses to concede due to unfounded allegations of election fraud. 

I will be speaking at the SAVE AMERICA RALLY tomorrow on the Ellipse at 11AM Eastern. Arrive early — doors open at 7AM Eastern. BIG CROWDS! pic.twitter.com/k4blXESc0c

Speaking of bully politics , I watched Josh Hawley snarling at mild-mannered Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday, as did fellow insurrectionists Lyin’ Ted and Tom Cotton and, in a gentler way, the folksy, 88 year-old gentleman conservative from Iowa, ancient Chuck Grassley, laying on the lash as Garland sat for more than four hours being grilled in front of a senate committee.

The Trumpists were pummelling Garland about a memo he sent to local DOJ offices advising them to work closely with local law enforcement to protect school board members against threats of violence.

The Trumpists find this memo offensive and despicably partisan, as it clearly applies only to passionate Trump voters, who are styled “domestic terrorists” if they so much as express their First and Second Amendment rights at school board meetings and some scared little cucks feel threatened.   The partisan memo, they made clear, is grounds for Garland’s removal as A.G.  

The rightwing echo chamber contends, in one endlessly amplified voice, that this intolerable memo is as explosive an affront to America as the loathsome Hillary Clinton murders in Benghazi, something so threatening to American decency and democracy that Garland must answer for it, publicly and under oath.   The NY Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns FOX and the Wall Street Journal, chimed in: 

Today Merrick Garland’s thuggishness and partisanship show him to be unfit for the Supreme Court and he is not ethical and committed to justice as Biden’s attorney general. He should go.  

A website called welovetrump expressed a similar statement,which came up number three on the Duck Duck Go search engine about yesterday’s hearing:

Attorney General Garland Won’t Deny Under Oath that Federal Agents May Have Incited January 6th. Something interesting happened this past week. Attorney General Merrick Garland was questioned about January 6th. Representative Thomas Massie from Kentucky had a straightforward question. Were federal agents present at the January 6th protest at …

Once Garland took his seat the GOP members of the committee began lustily pounding him with angry sound bytes for the right-wing echo chamber.

Tom Cotton kept calling Garland “judge” and told him, toward the end of his dressing down, that he thanks God that Garland was kept off the Supreme Court and that he thinks Garland should resign in disgrace.  Hawley was more superficially respectful, addressing Garland as General Garland, but his angry aggressiveness — in  defense of innocent parents merely expressing their understandable frustration with libtard cucks and making perfectly justifiable threats, was apparent.  He pointedly challenged Garland to call the guy on the poster behind him, the distraught father whose daughter was raped in a bathroom by a fake trans boy dressed as a girl AND WAS DRAGGED OUT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING BY SECURITY!!! a domestic terrorist [1].   

Lyin’ Ted began “For eight years under Obama the Department of Justice was politicized and weaponized.  When you came before this body during your confirmation hearing, you promised things would be different.” The four years with four Trump A.G.’s personally loyal to Trumpie, enabling their boss’s seamless obstruction of justice? Never happened, irrelevant, immaterial. How dare you?!! We’re talking about what that hateful black devil did!

Then, using his genius as a collegiate debater, Cruz forced Garland to admit that a fed up parent simply giving the Nazi salute at a school board meeting, especially if the smug, Nazi bastard deserved it, was protected expression under the First Amendment.   

I watched a GOP senator take one word from a statute — “annoy”– and focus on it to make the rest of the law Garland is intent on enforcing (to protect school board members from the physical rage of infuriated mobs) seem like liberal scolding — pricelessly sickening. 

Garland, they all agreed, owed Trump nation an apology.  Garland, who had no reason to apologize about the memo Republicans were flogging him over, acquitted himself as an earnest, mild-mannered, judicious man.   The most respectful thug ever.

The geniuses of the GOP on the Committee were on a mission unrelated to law or justice, they were busy making Benghazi-style talking points for their base (al-Q’eada, in Arabic). Roll clip three:

“This is shameful. Judge, this is shameful. This testimony, your directive, your performance is shameful. Thank God you are not on the Supreme Court. You should resign in disgrace, judge.”

Come on, wrestling fans, thirty words, each one a direct knee in the nuts!  Hard to improve on that one by Cotton. 

Hawley tried hard, probably got the one about pretending Garland had called the father whose daughter had been raped by an alleged fake trans boy in the girl’s bathroom a domestic terrorist in a playable byte for OANN, Breitbart, Der Sturmer, FOX, etc.

Lyin’ Ted got in a killer shot by making the Jewish jurist admit that a disgruntled guy at a schoolboard meeting who gives some smug putz the Nazi salute is exercising his First Amendment right of free expression, something the Department of Justice is sworn to protect. Garland acknowledged that simply giving the Nazi salute is indeed expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment.

But what was your larger point, Lyin’ Ted, in making the Jewish A.G. tell America that he protects a Nazi’s absolute right to give his party’s heil Hitler salute anywhere and any place he so chooses?

All that poor guy did was give that smug school board the good old Nazi salute, no violence just a strong, constitutionally protected expression of his opinion.

What is America coming to, these senators wanted to know, when you can’t even give the Hitler salute or fly into an understandable rage after your daughter is raped in a school bathroom, by a rapist dressed as a girl?

Garland didn’t seem to have an answer beyond repeating that the DOJ is committed to making sure angry mobs don’t carry out threatened violence against school board members for things like insisting that American history courses include an accounting of slavery, segregation and violent mobs who attack and kill people they hate and never face justice.

The seething hostility of these Big Lie embracing partisans, one after another, is so reminiscent of Nazi judges and prosecutors barking dismissively at defendants during the Thousand Year Reich. They certainly deserve a big old Nazi salute!

[1] Cotton also, inaccurately, said the high school girl

“was raped in a bathroom by a boy wearing girls’ clothes and the Loudoun County School Board covered it up because it would interfere with their transgender policy during pride month.”

The Right’s Big Lie About a Sexual Assault in Virginia https://nyti.ms/3nHQvqh

The true story of that girl’s rape in a school bathroom is more complicated and has nothing to do with gay pride or liberals on school boards.
