The U.S. congressional committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol has sought via hearings this month to build a case that then-President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 electoral defeat amounted to illegal conduct.

The question in our minds, those that want to see trump charged by the DOJ is: If criminal charges are brought, what would they be?

The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack made the case at its fourth hearing on Tuesday that the Trump 2020 campaign, and possibly Trump himself, tried to obstruct Joe Biden’s election win through a potentially illegal scheme to send fake slates of electors to Congress.

So, Desantis claims that publishers use math textbooks to indoctrinate elementary school students with "race essentialism," which is how right-wing activists characterize CRT. I know it sounds crazy but this is the world that Republicans want us to live in now, a world field with paranoia and xenophobia.

However, there was one big problem with Ronnys' claim: It was completely and unequivocally false. It was false because no reviewer of Florida math textbooks for elementary school students found any instances of CRT. The truth is that each of the reviewers explicitly stated that they did not find any instances of CRT.

A political science professor & MSNBC contributor, Dr. Jason Johnson, referred to the GOP as” a dime storefront for a terrorist organization called MAGA.” There are numerous examples that, to a degree, does corroborate his conviction of the GOP and I will discuss that later on in the episode.

Marjorie Taylor Greene went off the rails again this week, apparently, she was triggered after learning that three Republican senators signaled support to confirm President Joe Biden's nominee to the Supreme Court, calling all three Republicans "pro-pedophile” suggesting that Romney, Collins, and Murkowski's recent votes make them pedophile-aligned.

Ever since Trump lost the presidential election, he and his republican supporters have sought ways exact revenge for the loss. Trump had concocted the idea that the elections were rigged because he couldn't fathom losing and thereby joining the shortlist of a first-term President like John Adams, John Tyler & Andrew Johnson. So, instead of conceding with a modicum of decorum, he emboldened his cult followers that they should find out just how rigged the elections were in places like Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, etc. because it was inconceivable that he lost the election to Joe Biden.

Truth Social was conceived for conservatives as a Trump-approved alternative to Twitter, free of censorship & "cancel culture," but with the added "benefit" of Donald Trump actively participating on the platform. However, since its launch on 20 February, the platform has been derided by tech critics & a source of frustration for conservatives who were placed on long waitlists before they were allowed access. But, very recently the company has suffered a shakeup that could impact further development & delays of the app altogether.

If you recall some months back, I covered the Arizona Audit perhaps twice, I will try to post the link at the top to that video. This entire nonsense about alleged fraud in our elections was sowed in North Carolina in part by the efforts of Lin Wood and his team of criminal confidants, and Maricopa County, Arizona would be the first place that would subject the credibility of our secured elections process, to all sorts of conspiracy theories that turned out to be completely false: the bamboo fibers in 40K ballots that were smuggled out of China to votes being switched by hacking the software, etc, etc.

These were all the reasons given as to why it would be necessary to initiate an audit, as crazy as it sounds. Essentially, this fascination with election fraud spread to other states, including Wisconsin - which caught the same virus as did Arizona.

So, we're all aware of the news in which the Washington Post's Bob Woodward & Robert Costa reported that the White House did not log any calls from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on Jan 6th — a 7-hour and 37-minute gap — or conceivably, someone in the Trump administration went in later and deleted the record.

A group of voters in Georgia is seeking to block U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's eligibility to seek reelection, arguing that she helped facilitate the Capitol riot.

Greene issued a statement to the Associated Press and said she has “never encouraged political violence and never will.” She also said she is being targeted by the group because she is “effective and will not bow to the D.C. machine.”
