The committee is playing footage of Senator Josh Hawley fleeing the mob. Hawley helped whip up the protests against certifying the electoral college.

You are extremely stupid.
Btw,.....that same " mob".....They are going to put trump back in office in 24. Not a damn thing you can do about it either.![]()
What planet is that guy on?
Trump will in Jail in 2024
I felt sick tonight. If I had overdue parking tickets I'd be in jail by now. No excuse for Trump not to be prosecuted.
you're gross too, that is, grossly overweight and under-educated.
I, too, felt sickened by what I saw. As if I expected anything different, but the magnitude of it was nauseating.
Lots of campaign footage in those videos for his opponent, if he chooses to run. Now, the Dems just need to find a viable candidate. I really don’t see one on the horizon right now.
The Republicans need one too. IMO, any who support the Big Lie are not good candidates.

When we had a nation of 13 million in the 18th century, we had so many exceptional men to choose from for President.
Now, we’re at 350+ million and can’t find two.
An excellent point. The problem, IMO, is that both parties have moved to extremes resulting in only extreme candidates being nominated.The committee is playing footage of Senator Josh Hawley fleeing the mob. Hawley helped whip up the protests against certifying the electoral college.

Perhaps it’s moving in that direction. I see that at the local and state level the most, especially in the Republican Party. But, other than Trump, whom I have to believe was a tragic anomaly, no other final presidential candidates have been that extreme.
U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, a Democratic candidate for Governor, pounded Gov. Ron DeSantis for continuing to let conspiracy theories fester.
The St. Petersburg Congressman said the Republican Governor won’t address right-wing extremism or embrace the truth about the November election.
“Three days ago, I challenged Governor DeSantis to reject the Big Lie and launch a bipartisan investigation into Florida-based hate group members and their connections to the January 6th insurrection at our nation’s Capitol,” Crist said. “Our Governor could have done the right thing to keep Floridians safe and stop violent hate groups from organizing in Florida. Instead, he has chosen partisanship and division.”
Crist said DeSantis has refused to openly reject a conspiracy theory that the November election was stolen from Donald Trump. On Jan. 6, Trump supporters sieged the Capitol and disrupted certification of President Joe Biden;s electoral college victory.
DeSantis is a Big Lie supporter and, currently, the most likely Republican candidate.

So he's deliberately violating his oath of office, not just doing it by mistake? Interesting. IMO, that should be a death penalty offense like treason.He’s probably a Big Lie supporter for political purposes. Who knows? But, he is far superior to another Trump administration.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and
Government of the United States and of the State of Florida; that I am duly qualified to hold
office under the Constitution of the State, and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of
(Title of Office) on which I am now about to enter, so help me God.
What I mean is for the time being. It doesn’t serve him well, politically, to outright reject it now and be the object of Trump’s (and his base) ire. Who knows? I may be wrong.
I won’t vote for him, regardless.
