I'm not certain he will be indicted but things are definitely moving in that direction in both Georgia and federally.I think that's wishful thinking to be honest. As much as I'd enjoy it, and is in all probability legally justified.
I'm not certain he won't be the nominee either but when you look at how DeSantis has steadily gained over the last year and a half he clearly has all the momentum.And I'm not as sure as you are that he won't be the nominee ...
edit: At the current time, I'd probably say he's the odds on favorite to be 47.
STOP IT, GARLAND SAYS NO.The committee has testimony that Trump suggested hanging mother’s sex robot.
Well we do know what an expert you are at election prediction so I would take this one to the bank, haha.DeSantis would give Biden (or whoever the Dem nominee is) the Walter Mondale treatment.
DeSantis is more competent, more intelligent, and more fascist, so I can see him being a favorite. He's been sending all the right signals.Of course I believe he will be indicted, that's why I said it. I would personally put the odds at over 75%.
I think DeSantis is probably the favorite for the Republican nomination even if Trump runs as he's been steadily overtaking Trump since last year. Last poll I saw had them in a dead heat with DeSantis continuing to gain and Trump fading. If Trump gets indicted DeSantis is definitely the prohibitive favorite.

DeSantis is not going to run.... because the MAGA supporters in his state want him to stay as governor, as they are worried what a new person could bring to the table.DeSantis would give Biden (or whoever the Dem nominee is) the Walter Mondale treatment.
I already have a hunch on who could possibly be the 2024 Republican nominee for pres (or VP if Trump was to run). It would be Lloyd Smucker.

The Trump cult follower who belives in a stolen election. He currently represents the 11th district of Pensylvania at the US congress. The 11th district is known to house the 2 most important counties in Pensylvania that Republicans need to win by magins greater than 40-70k votes each to win PA, as they are the two most populous Republican counties in PA.
I just can't believe it.
First, do we REALLY need to explain to the American people that something terribly bad happened on January 6th? Like 330 million Americans couldn't figure this out for themselves?
How would it further empower anyone? And yes... oh god yes do we need to inform America about what happened. The actual insurrection itself is a small part of what the committee is investigating.I just can't believe it.

Second, regardless of the insanity that took place, I doubt very many people watch. And I could care less if Fox News carries it because I would never tune into Fox to watch this. And we all know why Fox chose not to air it, all because Donald Trump made a phone call. Trump called Fox or Hannity or maybe all of them over at Fox threatening Fox not to air it. Trump made a call and Fox rolls over and plays dead.
Imagine if this were happening while Donald Trump WAS president? Trump would sign some executive order banning all news networks for airing anything January 6th related unless it was pro-January 6th related. Like a memorial in front of Mt Rushmore, fireworks and all, praising the Proud Boys and the insurrectionist as patriotic Americans. THAT would be Trump's idea of airing January 6th.
And last, I don't think people really care because most people are more concerned over high prices, food, gas, and wondering just how high those prices will go. I don't think anyone cares about the stuff that happened more than a year ago regardless of how unimaginable and awful it was.
We survived Trump, so far that is, so people just don't care.
We had that one hearing way back for just one day, then nothing until now. Unlike Watergate where the hearings were televised for days and days. Two days of hearings, months apart, just makes to all seem somehow unimportant.
Yeah.... Trump is bad. Trump is terrible. The people around Trump are terrible. Fox News was terrible. Most republicans in congress are majorly terrible, but we already know this, everybody does, so I don't expect much from the televised hearing(s). If anything, Trump will breeze thru this unharmed and it will just further empower Trump and the Mega cult to push on to 2024.
Not saying it doesn't happen here in Canada where we flip flop parties after a long run by one, but don't get how the opinion of the average voter can change so much every 2 years. As you said, stupid how it needs explaining how corrupt the prior administration was than this even needs to be done. And how much a bubble does rural America live in to not see inflation is a world wide phenomenon. But doubt this will have much impact in November. And sadly it doesn't look like the mass shootings will sway independents to not be selfish and think economy more important.Yeah.... Trump is bad. Trump is terrible.

The opinion of the average voter doesn't change much from year to year but since we have a first past the post system small changes in voting behavior lead to large swings in representation.Not saying it doesn't happen here in Canada where we flip flop parties after a long run by one, but don't get how the opinion of the average voter can change so much every 2 years.

I was responding to got huevos, should have kept reply in one post rather than two to make it look more neat and not all clumped together.where do you come up with nonsense like this? that dude is a nobody and will remain so. Trump, Desantis, Pence, Abbott, or one of the other well known RWNJs will get the nomination.
also, this has absolutely nothing to do with the J6 committee.
How would it further empower anyone? And yes... oh god yes do we need to inform America about what happened. The actual insurrection itself is a small part of what the committee is investigating.
The important revelations from the committee are not about the riot, they are about the attempted coup that predated the riot.
IMO it will only backfire and feed their victim narrative.
Democrats have zero good will left, for better or worse. Did you see the CA primaries? The progressive DA from SF recalled and a former Republican turned Dem Lite with a strong showing in the LA mayor primary.
There should be major red alerts going off with the DNC right now.
I was being tongue in cheek with some of my earlier comments about GOP supermajorities, but now I think it's a real possibility they may have enough in both chambers to fulfill their fantasy of impeach and convict of both Biden and Harris. It's going to be a blowout.

Love how theure using the words/depositions of people like barr and ivanka. Thats hard to discount.Coming out pretty clear and strong regarding the actual events, which is good. Not that there's a lack of clarity among anyone that would be willing to listen.
