Senate The US Politics 2.0 Discussion Thread

These people won't even be kicked out or expelled. And I doubt they will be voted out either.

 

Who's Jared Harris going to play?

 

I bet he was only kidding, right?

(CNN)The Justice Department revealed new charges against a Texas man who allegedly participated in the Capitol attack and posted online death threats against Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a US Capitol Police officer.

Garret Miller of Texas faces five criminal charges stemming from the Capitol insurrection, including trespassing offenses and making death threats. Miller allegedly tweeted, "assassinate AOC," according to court documents.

 

It keeps getting stranger every week.

There is another story that surfaced of ***** trying to move around DOJ personnel so the Georgia election could be declared null and void on Jan. 6.

 

I wonder how much of this will be introduced as evidence during the impeachment trial? Not that it will matter to Republicans, many of who are probably secretly wishing the coup hadn’t failed.

 

It was not simply a coup that ended Jan. 6. The coup continued past Jan. 6 and included Mike Lindell, the Pillow Man Inventor and Lin Wood.

 

We have a black Secretary of Defense!

Who was on Raytheon's board until like two days ago.

But don't worry, he said he'd recuse himself from any decisions involving the company. Guess that means he'll be recusing himself from most of his job.

 

Plus he needed a waver for the job. We should really stop doing that. That 7 year out of the military is there for a good reason

 

Katie Porter voted no on the waiver.

I would like to know what President Biden's reasoning was on picking him. I suppose this might be a result of the Senate being so tight. But there isn't a single former senator he couldn't have chosen?

 

They served together in Iraq when General Austin was a commanding the XVIII airborne corps and was the second highest ranking officer in Country (behind General Odierno) and Beau was a Major(Army Reserve) in the Army's Judge Advocate General Corps.

 

Cindy McCain and the governor of Arizona has been censured by the state GOP. Good job guys

 

But apparently it’s the Democrats who are the “radicals”.

 

Trump has demonstrated that appointees with civilian-only careers are even more likely to damage democracy than retired flag and general officers, most of whom seem to take their oath to the Constitution seriously. Secretary Mattis was one of the biggest thorns in Trump’s side during his tenure, for example. I agree that we shouldn’t use this waiver too often, but I don’t have many fears about Austin. Even though I think Michelle Flournoy may have been the better pick.

 

Wanna hear someone talk like the Bible reads? Trump is still President and you're all in trouble.

 

That lady needs to get laid.

 

Was just reading on FB that the Trumpers are convinced that Trump really is still President.

Their ....supposed 'proof'.... of this - which I've seen in a few places already with no links whatsoever and is spreading like wildfire - is that the Pentagon is refusing to speak to Biden Admin and won't allow him on any of military bases, that the soldiers turned their backs to Biden as he walked/drove by, that Biden was refused a military plane when coming into DC, that he didn't get the Presidential music on his inauguration but Trump did, he didn't get a 10 gun salute, and that the WH was dark last night. All of this means that the military is still following Trump. Trump is still President. And if they just pray hard enough to Jesus, the military will take over and install Trump as President-Dictator because Evil Socialist Joe Biden is going to destroy the country by next week.

 

Nah. It was a good laugh.

 

So...basically this is what a person who’s never read the Bible looks like? OK, good to know.....

 

So I didnt listen to the whole thing, but Im reading Madison Cawthorn got owned on CNN, and at the end he had to admit there was no voter fraud. If anyone wants to listen to this whole thing and confirm, go ahead.
