📌The thing about Jack Smith's testimony today is that it is easily corroborated because we all watched the attack on TV, including the guy behind it, who did nothing about it for three hours.

FWIW:
Golden is retiring.
The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running.
The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents.
Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez.
If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.

The reason rank and file Dems are pissed at their party is because their party doesn't lead in key moments. The good news is it's primary season, and now's when we get to demand better leadership. I recommend everybody adopt 1 or 2 DINOs and dedicate yourself to replacing them with Dems who fight.
DHS spending bill passed 220-207
7 Democrats voted in favor:
Henry Cuellar
Don Davis
Laura Gilles
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Jared Golden
Vicente Gonzalez
Tom Suozzi
Massie voted No
Andy Harris didn't vote
Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

I mean, if I were a republican listening to Jack Smith, I'd be withering in my chair knowing how rife with cowardice and dishonor I am.
That statement is fucking fire, and the way it was delivered - cool, calm, matter-of-fact - should have anyone trying to indict this guy shaking in their shoes.

The more Jack Smith is allowed to speak, the more he can relay to people the scope and brazenness of TFG's criminality.
His tone, his calmness and his demeanor just fly in the faces of the rabid, sniveling GOP bootlickers.
It's pretty amazing to watch it.

We don't speak to hypotheticals, dipshit.
This is a dumb line of "questioning" from Rep Brad Knott (R-NC).
What they're trying to do is rewrite the reality of Jan 6.

Do these GOP idiots understand the concept of evidence and presenting it before a court of law?
I don't think they do.

I totally agree with this. They should not use their time to grandstand like Swalwell just did. They should ask 1-3 specific questions and allow Smith to expound as much as possible so people can understand how TFG broke the law.
Dems really need to let Jack Smith speak, or this will be a huge waste of time.

It's a pretty stark contrast watching this hearing (and I'm just at the beginning). The republicans sound like a pack of feral, rabid dogs, foaming at the mouth, and Jack Smith's responses are calm, measured and factual.
