When Jan 6th happened, Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell basically said: "let the courts handle it" (rather than confirming his impeachment by the House)
Then, when the legal system tried to handle it, the Republicans said: "how dare you! This is a partisan prosecution!"

You see in fantasy land, you can have your cake and eat it, too. All of us stuck here in the real world, end up with a shit sandwich.

[Art Vandelay @LJS527]

The Jack Smith testimony is being treated like a partisan political circus. Not because Smith's efforts were partisan in motivation, mind you. I mean we don't say that a criminal defense attorney is an accessory to a crime, simply for doing their job.

But people seem to think Smith was treating Trump and his sycophants in Congress unfairly by simply doing his job. When Smith got the toll records of members of Congress, people went bananas. But what was he supposed to do? Not get that information? It's vital to building his case! And it's not as if he got the content of private calls/texts. It was just the time/date.

What is the point of having laws if we're okay with someone potentially breaking them, so long as they're on the right team?

Just apply the simple "if it weren't Trump" test. If it were Barack Obama, and Democrats, being investigated for their alleged role in a plot to overturn an election, I can safely say that 99% of the people attacking Jack Smith now, would be cheering him on.

Sad state of affairs for this country.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

They reflexively booed when Lombardo mentioned the officer because the racist pieces of shit who go to these Trump rallies heard an Arabic-sounding name. Austin Abdelnabi was a Marine veteran killed in the line of duty.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

They lied about the whole thing and now admit the contractor screwed up the Reflecting Pool installation. And because they were in a rush to indict to please Trump, they presented false evidence to a grand jury. https://t.co/qk1RPaREZ4

Trump has won this war 7 times.

He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times.

And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times.

What more do you want from him?

[Jesse McFarling @illinitribe]

@Ecnerwal23 He’s gonna get paid!

In any normal-ish timeline this would be grounds for impeachment.
Now, it’s not even a blip on the news.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Sophisticated drones attacked the US base where we store the nuclear bombers…

The drones:

* Had non-commercial signals
* Were resistant to jamming
* Came in waves of 12-15
* Swept over sensitive areas of the base
* Had long range control links
* Were more advanced than anything seen in Ukraine (Russian drones)
* Beyond Iranian capabilities

Over the multiple days of incursion, local residents heard explosions which Barksdale claimed was “weapons testing”

This is the second base incursion of a sensitive site IN THE US in the last 2 weeks.
