The January 6 Hearings - Part Six

And what did we learn at yesterday's hearing? Donald Trump not only loves violence done in his name, he does it in his own name.  He even likes to throw his lunch against the wall when he gets news he doesn't like.

I've heard of average men (Leon Czolgosz, Lee Harvey Oswald) who murdered Presidents, but I'd never heard of a President who attempted to murder an average man. And while Indian leader Indira Gandhi may have been killed by her own bodyguards, I could not, until now, imagine a bodyguard being killed by his own leader.  

Or a leader accused of an attempted carjacking.

But we all know now that Donald J. Trump encouraged violence by allowing the crowd that assembled for his fight speech on the morning of January 6, 2021 to attend his rally without surrendering their weapons so they could use them when they approached the Capitol.  We know that his promise to go down to the Capitol with his supporters was not an empty promise.  He wanted to go and ordered his Secret Service man to take him there in the presidential monster wagon.  When the agent refused, Trump reiterated his order, yelling, "I'm the f**kin' President!"  When the agent refused again, Trump tried to hijack the vehicle and grab the agent by the collarbone . . . and could have possibly choked him.  

And then White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows just sat back and took it all in stride.  And White House Counsel Pat Cippolone had to bend over backwards to keep Trump from going down to the Capitol and open up himself and the administration to a whole slew of crimes. 

And we all know this thanks to Mark Meadows' deputy, Cassidy Hutchinson.

My heroine!

It should be only a matter of time before Trump's rear end is hauled into a federal courtroom for indictment.

The good news is that Trump is likely not going to be able to run for President in 2024.  The bad news? Hell, we'll get DeSantis!
