Funny idea of “oversight”
It’s like living under some unpleasantly powerful and vindictive medieval royalty.
Republicans seem to be very serious about sending Liz Cheney to jail.
GOP Representative Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, released his own findings on the House January 6 select committee. The report accused former Cheney, who sat on the committee, of witness tampering, alleging that she “colluded with ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson.” Hutchinson is the former Trump White House aide turned MAGA villain after she testified before the January 6 committee on the chaos surrounding the attack on the Capitol.
Everything must be turned to shit for the sake of protecting and encouraging the evil monster hell-bent on slaughtering the peasantry and subjugating everyone else.
Loudermilk’s findings also called for Cheney to be criminally investigated and repeatedly claimed the January 6 committee withheld or destroyed evidence.
Evidence that what? That Trump didn’t try to seize power by sending a mob to attack the legislature? It can’t be done; we all saw him sending the mob to the Capitol to attack the legislature, which it duly did.
Yes, I was wondering what this charge of “destroying evidence” was all about, and where it came from. It makes no sense. It’s not like Cheney or anyone else tore up or burned some doctor’s note or a letter of permission that allowed him to do what he did. No such document or permission exists. There was no homework for anyone’s dog to eat.
Frankly I’m surprised they’re not going the whole nine yards and claiming that all the evidence that he did do it was Deep State, Deep Fake fabrication. After all, who are we going to believe: Trump, or our lying eyes?
“Oversight” can also mean to overlook something, after all.
In fact the orange asshole we have seen spewing venom on TV every day for many years now, not to mention the world in which said asshole exists, is all a deep fake fed into our brains by the space lizards. The real Donald Trump (the one that actually exists in the real world) is a friendly purple dinosaur telling everybody to just chill out, get along, and not flush live kittens down the toilet. That’s not so bad.
The excentric Swiss aristocrat Elisabeth de Meuron once locked up a trespassing vagrant; her justification for doing so was a document from the Middle Ages, which entitled the owner of her castle to perform such acts.
Somehow, when it’s done by someone with a silly ear trumpet and little actual power, it’s funny. The prospect of Trump & co. pulling off such stunts, however, fails to make me laugh.
The MAGAs are convinced there were undercover FBI agents who instigated the violence and that evidence has been destroyed/covered up.
Okay, that almost makes sense, but it doesn’t exonerate Trump for his part. The FBI didn’t call for the march on the Capitol; the FBI didn’t stand around watching the riot for hours before suggesting people should go home. If it was FBI agents provocateurs escalating things beyond what Trump wanted or expected, why didn’t he speak out sooner and repudiate the violence, rather than wait to see if his little coup worked? Because he was hoping it would. Plausible deniability only works when the deniability is plausible. The January 6 insurrection was a logical outcome and direct result of Trump’s delusional “stolen election” charges, which he has continued to maintain to the present day.
