As soon as 45 asked them to go home, they started passing their phones around sharing the message and saying it was time to go. The mob was 100% taking orders from him and he could have called them off from the beginning. Oh the fucks! Didn't he tell them they were loved and go in peace or some shit "We love you. You're very special"

Ok, this makes sense. I was wondering how they had such clear video.

Chair Thompson directly addressing the officers who testified before the committee now, saying that they have done their best to get to the bottom of what happend that day and it is crystal clear that 45 is responsible for what happened. Now it sounds like they're about to vote on a subpoena for 45.

"The need to hear from Donald Trump goes beyond our fact finding...he must be held accountable. He is required to answer for his actions. He is required to answer to those police officers who put their lives and bodies on the line to defend our democracy. He is required to answer to those millions of Americans whose votes he wanted to throw away as part of his scheme to retain power."

Nice. They let Liz submit the formal resolution to subpoena 45.

I was not expecting that…at least not today. I think it’s great, but I’m chicken littling the outcome already. It would be televised or no?

There’s no way he’ll comply right? And isn’t there a prior president that was subpoenaed who didn’t comply? I think I read that today. Maybe Truman?

If he DID testify, which he won't, they wouldn't televise it live bc the intelligence community would want to scrub anything they release to the public for sensitive information

I would love to be wrong but I don't think this House committee is going to exist after midterms.

can't wait for all the republicans who have been criticizing Biden for the Afghanistan withdrawal defend 45 for an immediate, no-warning withdrawal which would have probably been 10 times more chaotic. And deadly. I shudder to think. It would have been so bad. I was just thinking about this as I passed 13 flags that are in my community (base adjacent) and how pissed Rs are about the withdrawal. But also T had 4 years in a war he hated to withdraw and didn’t.

Today I just learned the Super Bowl is designated a National Security Event. But counting of electoral ballots are not.

Although profanity too TBH.

I had to go pick up package from a neighbor who it was delivered too by accident, forgetting she has incredibly strong republican leanings (I can’t tell if she’s a Trumper but she is certainly not a fan of any democrat). She was so riled up from the hearing she was nearly shaking, it was the perfect ending.
