California is weird that way. Houses rarely have basements.
In any case, even my darkest notions pale in comparison to my real expectation: to see that man stripped to the figurative bone by the legal and judicial apparatus he worked so long to corrupt.
I seriously hope he gets shipped where we send the other national-scale terrorists. Then I hope there is a bipartisan drive to decommission a convenient but extralegal oubliette off official US territory.

It was as I expected, they told them what they told them, a summery of the incident, focusing on the key player and "others". The full report and Trump's taxes will provide lot's of meat for the press and others We will see how this plays out over the next days and weeks when they are able to dig deeper into both the report and his taxes. Jack could be days or weeks away from indicting him over the documents case. This report is a roadmap for the DOJ and public and along the way it will lead off to many other paths with rats and seized phones providing the fuel for more. The rocks will be turned over one by one with each indictment, rat and provable case or even the threat of one. SOP is when they cut a deal with Jack they have to confess to all of their crimes and any crimes by others they have knowledge of. These are Republicans remember, and many are habitual corrupt criminal con artists, what do you think Jack will find when he starts rolling over rocks one by one? Judges hear cases based on evidence, juries decide innocence or guilt based on evidence, judges then sentence, based on the law and guidelines. So no squealing about being unfair, 12 peers on a jury all agreed yer a fucking crook!

Jan. 6 committee says it has corroborated reports of Trump's 'furious interaction' in his SUV on the day of the Capitol riot
In a preliminary final report, the panel said it was "skeptical" of the account given by Tony Ornato, who said he didn't recall the incident.

Jan. 6 committee says it has corroborated reports of Trump's 'furious interaction' in his SUV on the day of the Capitol riot
- Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Trump lunged at an SUV steering wheel on January 6.
- Her testimony came into question after it was said that Tony Ornato, another WH official, denied it.
- But the committee in its final report says "several sources" confirm a "furious interaction" in the SUV.

If the Reps., (who take the House in 2 wks.) that were complicit in the Jan6 insurrection were brandished w/a scarlet letter you'd need to wear a pair of sunglasses upon entering the chamber. I'm also going to have to stock up on TUMS to get my stomach in shape for the bogus investigations they are chomping on the bit to launch.

With the shit coming out in the J6 report, text messages, pardon requests and indictments dropping on Trump and others over the coming months, it will be a Hellscape for the republicans. Democrats will be roasting them so bad on the floor they will be showing CSPAN on the news for entertainment. Imagine Gym Jordan as head of judiciary trying to ask questions with all the shit that will be hanging over his head? All the witnesses will be spending more time with reporters than testifying and I'm sure it will come up in every interview and the topic will change from Hunter's laptop to Gym's treason. He'll be lucky if the FBI doesn't purp walk him off the hill in his shirtsleeves I figure, once Mark Meadows and others start ratting everybody out for a deal.

Opinion | The Jan. 6 panel’s focus on Trump lets the GOP off too easily
Trump acted in coordination with his party. The historical record should reflect that.
The Jan. 6 committee’s focus on Trump lets the GOP off too easily
Trump acted in coordination with his party. The historical record should reflect that.
By Zeeshan Aleem, MSNBC Opinion Columnist
The House Jan. 6 committee held its final public meeting on Monday, capping off months of investigative work and public presentations on the makings of the 2021 insurrection. Reflecting back on the past year and a half, the committee did one thing superbly well: It was successful in its comprehensive demonstration of former President Donald Trump’s intentions and culpability for the insurrection.
The committee made a compelling case that Trump was not a deluded actor who haphazardly encouraged an unpredictable mob to march up to the U.S. Capitol, where things got out of hand. Instead, the evidence shows he deliberately spread disinformation and summoned an armed and partially organized militia to try to seize control of the government. The case was made so thoroughly that the committee’s four criminal referrals against Trump only seem prudent.
Much of the GOP was cheering Trump and his movement on — and actively participated in trying to help him pull off a coup.
But the committee’s success in nailing Trump’s role was also accompanied by a failure, or at least a missed opportunity.
The House committee was right to focus on Trump’s role as the kingpin on Jan. 6, and was also right to make criminal referrals against a handful of his top henchmen, like his final chief of staff Mark Meadows and his lawyer John Eastman. But Trump and a few of his most loyal friends weren’t the only people trying to ensure he stayed in power. Much of the GOP was cheering Trump and his movement on — and actively participated in trying to help him pull off a coup.
The laser focus on Trump obscured the complicity of the GOP party establishment in the event. That in turn will narrow the public’s historical understanding of the radical nature of today's Republican Party as a whole. It could also weaken the kind of vigilance needed to guard against other right-wing authoritarian politicians in the future.
We know Trump’s inner circle was exchanging messages with and working closely with dozens of members of Congress in the run-up to and in the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6. These messages show that many Republicans actively encouraged Trump to take steps to stay in power despite the absence of credible evidence of fraud. They show that Republican lawmakers were coordinating and organizing to help him craft legal strategy to advance a case against a nonexistent problem. They show that they were coordinating with him on whipping up a mob furious over false claims of fraud on Jan. 6. Ultimately they illustrate that the party had an appetite for trying to thwart a lawful transfer of power even before the events of Jan. 6 gave them an incentive to downplay the insurrection out of political expediency.
Trump wasn’t dealing with obscure lawmakers in the Republican caucus. We know Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, one of the most powerful Republicans in America, was working directly with Trump to make the case against lawfully transferring power to Democrats. We know that Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri was pumping his fist to encourage a riled up, militant band of protesters before they stormed the Capitol. We know Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio spoke with Trump the morning of Jan. 6, and then objected to certifying the election results — along with over a hundred of his colleagues in the House and a handful of Republican senators.
Were all of these lawmakers playing the same role as Trump, who constantly bombarded his followers with disinformation and gave them the order to “fight like hell” at the Capitol? No. Jan. 6 wouldn’t have unfolded the way it did without Trump fueling the whole manufactured crisis. But his colleagues’ hands were far from clean.
Many Republicans worked with and encouraged Trump on his 2020 propaganda, and through their parroting or tolerance of his claims, helped create the conditions for the storm that took place on Jan. 6. Presumably many of them would argue that there’s a difference between supporting false claims of fraud and supporting a violent mob. But one naturally follows from the other: Why on earth would they expect their constituents to sit idly if they were telling them that the election was being stolen, that their country was on the brink of sliding toward tyranny?
One could argue that the Jan. 6 committee had to choose a strategic focus to make the most impact, and that total focus on establishing the main culprit’s intentions and plans was of chief importance. There’s a strong case to be made for that focus, especially in light of Trump's third presidential bid.
But over the longer run, it would be tragic if this results in the GOP getting off more lightly in our analyses of this historical moment. Guarding against future authoritarian politicians on the right requires understanding that Trump wasn’t at odds with his party — he was working in concert with it. On the right there's a systemic receptivity to authoritarianism, and it won't end with Trump.
You're right!..Gitmo it is!
Also digging for basements along SA Fault is probably not a good idea..like Florida you could open a sink hole there..some people say there's a demonic portal above Maralago bell tower.
You see? Somebody was asking like last week if Meadows was in on it..of course he was! He's in the wheelhouse the whole time! He probably has a deal for those texts from every rat who wanted to reach Trump during and leading up to J6.

Meadows already did..he printed the texts, threw them on Bennie Thompsons seat and ran for the hills.
