My major priority for a President is that he doesn’t commit treason – that he recognizes that the miracle of the American political tradition is that power changes hands peacefully, and accommodates that tradition.
I really don’t care about Trump’s triumphs as President. He wasn’t close to a great President – he undercut everything he did by the chaos and needless controversy that he created. His attitude toward the 2020 Election borders on the psychotic. He’s spent tens of millions looking for fraud in the election, found nothing, was told that fact by every sensible person in the Administration, and yet he persists. Persons with a personality order that pronounced are not qualified for any office. (Just why and when you bought into this absolutely absurd personality cult is something for you to figure out. Good luck.)
And he committed treason – publicly and indisputably. Sort of a disqualifying act, don’t you think?
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
The Democrats have done nothing but negative stuff, and would be in epic trouble . . . were it not for the GOP idiots who remain loyal to that narcissistic felon. Trump replaces Aaron Burr as the worst member of the executive in history.
So dump him. Stop calling the opposition RINO’s. Trump’s the RINO. It’s an idiot personality cult, and its center figure has literally committed treason. Move on.
Then line up the canons against Biden.

Pretty serious stuff and pretty impressive presentation.
The GOP would have done well to treat Donald Trump as radioactive after 1/6. There was simply nothing to be said in defense or mitigation.

FWIW, with little fuss or fanfare, the Post fired Sonmez today.

‘Insurrection’ is the usual hyperbole, in the same way that the opposition to Trump immediately after the election called itself ‘The Resistance’, shamelessly adopting the name of a group of individuals who took real risks and exhibited real courage.
Which does not change the fact that Donald Trump committed palpable treason on January 6th, and should be made to pay for it. The numbers may not be all that large, but if that mob had managed to take a hostage – Nancy Pelosi, or someone – and this was a near thing – we would have been witness to a real banana republic disgrace.
The sooner Trump is identified as the Aaron Burr successor he actually is, a traitor in the most basic definition of the word, the better off the GOP will be. (The hell with all this RINO nonsense – Trump is the poseur).
As noted above, Trump is the Democrat’s best chance for 2024. Precisely the reason, in my cynical opinion, why the Biden Administration has not gone forward with a conventional prosecution.

This should have been ordinary grand jury stuff on day 2. There was no reason to politicize this with a Congressional committee.
My own cynical view is that it didn’t happen because Trump is far more useful to Biden than he is to the GOP, for which he remains a continual embarrassment. Without Trump, the absurdities of the Democrats are fully visible.
Biden hopes to run in 2024 against Trump on another lesser evil ticket. His best chance.

You have to feel for the parents here. I get the impression that the causes of her suicidal spiral were actually rather slight. A word from the parent to whom she was closer might have changed everything.
This is one of those situations where privilege gets in the way.

Reading the account, it seems the offense was throwing anything rather than some ethnic insult.

I thought (from the excerpts I saw) that he did very well on the stand.
The low road taken by the prosecution is also very unimpressive. You don’t comment on a defendant’s silence – ever. It’s pretty well-established black letter law.
So his chances seem very good to me.

Sickening

It never has been, if that matters.

Unfortunately, the credibility of the New York Times on this kind of story is non-existent.
Such a beautiful story, with nary a glitch or gap, and, as always, completely unsourced.

I was one of the earliest skeptics about Holmes, back when there were plenty of True Believers. The company just didn’t make sense in terms of start ups with which I was familiar. That even caused some family friction.
That said, this whole process is way, way over the top. The circus has come to town. We have found our Witch. I wouldn’t have brought the case in the first place – just not that much societal gain – and would definitely have let her plead out.
It’s as if all the people that bought into what were clearly some very dubious claims now have to vindicate themselves by pummeling her.

I think you’d have a point if the product ever got out the door. But, as I understand it, it did not.

I’m voting to recall him, and I don’t know anyone who isn’t.
Nonetheless, I’m expecting him to survive for the prosaic reason that there is no really credible candidate to replace him, of the type of Schwarzenegger back in 2006.
