Percentages are not odds. Perhaps you could give us some real odds, from real bookmakers, say, William Hill or Ladbroke's.

I can understand lines or odds, when wagering; but I cannot understand percentages, since they in no way relate to odds or lines for wagering purposes. Suggest that you post current lines and/or odds, say, "Trump at 6:1," rather than "Trump at 12%." Heck, let's break this down on a parimutuel basis, rather than a bookie basis, and see where he really stands. My guess would be 3:2, on a parimutuel, right now, subject to shortening or getting longer as the 2024 election approaches. If you can lock in Trump at 6:1 now with a bookie, take your chance. And remember, there's no guarantee that he will run.

But if you're betting, don't look at percentages. Look at the line, look at the odds. That's what we sports/horserace/political gamblers do. We don't look at percentages. Your information regarding percentages means nothing to real gamblers.

That's the result of Qevin making a petulant boo-boo in taking his nominees and going home. He not only didn't stop the ball game from taking place, he managed to jockey the entire GOP into a position that they don't know anything more than the public about what's coming next. They are desperate to spin it - If only they knew what "it" is.

What a clever young nimrod Qevin truly is. May he continue along his path, now that he has found it.

As much as I despise Mike Flynn for his actions and attitude the clip of him not answering Cheney’s question about peaceful transfer of power…I know that Flynn answered that to every question because someone under oath can’t pick and choose which question to answer
You either plead the 5 th to each one or you get in trouble with a contempt charge for splitting your responses
Is that true?

I thought you could answer some questions and not answer others even in a court of law.

Presumably, witnesses would answer questions that did not incriminate them, and plead the Fifth on those that do.

He's still in the can for a while. He suddenly decided he wants to testify, but only on a hot mic in real time. There is a very real reason for his abrupt offer.

We are going to hear from his roommate today, who is a journalist the Oath Keepers hired as a spokesman. He had a lot of access, both officially and behind the scenes. We also may hear some of Cipollone's testimony. Today could be more explosive than Cassidy was.

I suspect that clips from those videos of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys heading to the Capitol way before Tump's speech will be played.

The truth is that Trump knew well before his rally that the election wasn't stolen but he wanted his volent supporters to march on the capitol. Today's hearing will focus on his alleged coordination.

Not the truth. Do you really believe this brain dead, just awful of a candidate who chose a complete loser as a running mate, who by the way hardly ran for anything, a two time loser who at the time was known to have been on the Chinese commmunist payroll, millions of BS mail in ballots, voting laws changed on the fly by unelected officials not legistators in battle ground states, inspectors getting kicked out left and right, video showing hidden cases of ballets counted over and over again. Over 1000 citizens signing afidavids of the cheating they witnessed. There never was an investigation. As the old saying goes, if it looks like a duck......

Now we have the worst President in generations. And to top it all off, the worst VP ever. And if that isn't enough, if both these incompetents are tossed aside, we got Polosi, the worst speaker in modern times, Pinocchio if there ever was one and looks like one. That is why Trump thinks and always will think this election was stolen.

I'm more curious about the Willard Hotel with Bannon and Stone and Flynn on January 5, where one or more Oath Keepers may have been present.

The fact that a half dozen of them have pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy means that they had information valuable to the Committee and the DOJ, and were more than willing to give up everything they knew about anybody in exchange for leniency. No telling who they will trot out today. They're being tight lipped after Cassidy had two different people try witness tampering and a lot of the participants in the hearings receiving death threats.
