America is in a fugged up place when the crime can be political but the punishment can't be political 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲

[JamesSmith-rhis]

I can say with confidence that America is doing great as a country without Trump in the White House as president anymore.

[Zealy]

I need closure.
The country needs closure.
The world needs closure.

"You can't prosecute me because I am trying to get a job in politics". How does that sound if you say that?

[niclewis]

You don't put a Vice President in front of a Grand Jury if you are not serious about an indictment. And you don't testify for 5 hour's if you have nothing to say.

I'm betting that within the next 18 months, Barking Yam will be jailed for the remainder of his wretched, "unpresidentedly" destructive life.

Nixon's administration went to prison so did Reagans it's inevitable so will Donalds .

[BlueJazzBoyNZ]

When "Mother" doesn't trust Mike in a room with any other women (without a chaperone)
Why should America trust him anywhere near the Oval Office.. ?

[Sarappreciates]

How much did TUCKER CARLSON have to do with planning and stoking these events?

[patcomerford]

I look forward to reading the transcript of pence's testimony.

[camerondavis]

This is a joke. We all saw live on TV what happened on January 6th, and over 2 years later people are wringing their hands, debating whether the Leader should be charged.

[Jean-quqw]

This country is rotting from the inside out 🥺

[GaryMathews-qkde]

Mark Meadows is the person Smith wants to flip

[mjhzen]

Trump will say any prosecution of him is "politically motivated", no matter how close it is to a political campaign. So, it doesn't matter.

[williamhung]

If Pence is running for president, this is the perfect time for Pence to rid of his competition. Pence can make America great again by throwing Trump under the 🚌 bus.

[livefreedrivenh]

If it wasnt an insurrection in Tennessee then not in dc either.

[DancerGirl-]

we don't know what he said, but given how loudly and often he pronounces his holiness and god-loving life, we can hope that he would do the right thing. But he was a yes man to trump for years because of his own ambitions....

[diongld]

Garland wasted a lot of time delaying case.

[chicagoboy]

*Let them give their campaign speeches (lies) while sitting in their jail cells!*
