Don't hold your breath.

This investigation is at its end.

It will be over come 4 Jan 2023 when the Republican controlled house begins the new session. Anything the 1-6 committee will do better get done by then.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

So the J6 Committee can refer Trump's direct communications with militia groups and other J6 coup planners to the DoJ. Cool. smile

I'm sure everyone in the DoJ will be just as curious why Trump communicated on Signal - an untraceable phone app, and circumvented communicating out in the open as POTUS are required to do.

They can recommend whatever they wish to whomever they wish.

The DOJ already knows everything about everyone.

Whenever the final report drops, the ball bounces into Merrick Garland's jurisdiction and it's up to him what to do with it.

Your blasé attitude about J6 is interesting. It’s almost as if you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about American democracy.

I don't give a rat's ass about American Democrats.

They are the lesser of two evils in my book.

The J6 investigation is nearing its end. The House is about to change hands, Merrick Garland will announce his decision about March 15th...

The Ides of March.

Sorry not to be in a constant panic over things I can't control...I trust Garland to make the right decision. Everything else is just drama for the partisan llamas.

If exit polls are to be believed, a quarter of all voters vote for the lesser of two evils, for the least worse candidate or party, for the candidate or party they want to lose the least. I call these voters anti-voters. They never vote for a candidate or party, just against one they disliked the most or see as the most evil although if given a viable third choice, they’d take that viable third choice in a heartbeat. Biden is president because of the anti-vote who voted against Trump, but not necessarily for Biden as he was the lesser of two evils.

I agree with Greger, in the era of Trump the democratic party is the lesser of two evils. Once Trump is gone, it’ll be time to recalibrate. Like Greger, I too don’t worry over things I can’t control or help. As for American democracy, looking at the polls, different articles, folks on one side think voting Republican is the only way to save it, folks on the other side think one must vote democratic to save it. Those in the middle, swing voting independents, they don’t think about it. Just their thinning to flat wallets. They think about meeting theirs and their family’s need today and if they may be able to meet them tomorrow. What may or may not happen in the future is irrelevant to them. It’s today they’re trying to make it through. They’ll worry about tomorrow when it comes. Today takes precedence.

NO DEMOCRAT COLLUDED OR CONSPIRED to end democracy on J6 and keep Trump in power for forever. Weird how you never call-out what Republicans did on J6 - very telling, and very Trumpian to call-out the side NOT doing those things.

They're the only legislators at the Capitol who give a rat's ass about democracy aside from two soon-to-be unemployed traditional conservative Republicans. When the new House session begins, those two will no longer be around and the entire Republican House will consist of pro-fascism insurrection supporters.

Assuming the worst, House AND Senate swept by Trump Republicans, what do you think the chances are for
Insurrection 2.0 in the coming two years?
I'd say the chances will be far greater than 65% and this next time around, all or nearly all of them will be heavily armed.
