Capitol Hill Blue Forums Capitol Hill Blue Opinions CHB Columnists Newt Gingrich: The GOP traitor who made Donald Trump possible

The issue is that these people have become cultists and are being psychologically manipulated by a powerful leader named Donald Trump who is dividing them from the rest of the country through his lies and deception and promising them an America that will never be.

"Morning Joe" host blasted conservatives for inciting violence against law enforcement officials. and he singled-out Newt Gingrich. Newt suggested that the FBI could have planted evidence against Trump.

How long before Donald Trump resorts to actually trying to shoot someone on 5th Avenue & Fox News resorts to claiming it was because of cold French fries?
Asking for a friend.

I doubt Trump has ever fired a gun. If he has, the shot will miss the target and veer to the right. Fox News will then claim Biden caused the miss (or Barrack Obama, Christopher Wray, or Merrik Garland.

I wouldn't count on it. I guess I am a pessimist, but in my eyes, we have already lost our democracy. Most people just don't know it yet.

Your pessimism is well founded but I think it all rests on whether or not our judicial leadership has the stomach and political will to see justice done as prescribed. Glad to see you here again, by the way.

Thanks Jeff, and I agree. If Mr. Trump remains above the law and is not prosecuted for anything (I think this will be the outcome), it will be another indicator that my pessimism is an accurate intuition.

Even if he were prosecuted, I am not so sure that makes me feel much better. The fire has already been lit and the weeds are afire. We will need major air drops to have any hope of surviving as a democratic nation.

A "conservative" judge gave a raving looney despot seven years in prison for a coup attempt and he got out in what...three?
Wrote a manifesto and reemerged even more charismatic than before, and a generation of our daddies and granddaddies (mine included) paid in blood to stop him.

I'm going to say the thing that most dare not say, because every generation or so evil takes human form in a manner so unimaginable that a nation is forced to do drastic and unthinkable things to stop it.

Ceausescu comes to mind.
I don't endorse it, I don't promote it and I don't suggest it but I suggest that we stop pretending that it won't come up as an option because it just might.

Uh...oh! Spaghetti-ohs! Newt Gingrich is a target in the J6 Committee investigation. Liz Cheney will neuter Newt.

Gingrich, and the House when he was Speaker, is akin to the “wet market” where the Right Wing Nut Job pandemic originated.

The Gullible 95 virus.

You think Covid brain is bad… it’s nothing like Gullible 95 brain, where the victim turns into a rapacious Zombie actively hunting other brains to eat. They’re devilish hard to turn back into rational human beings.
