The reason they won't televise is the exact same reason the major news media won't detail Joe's connections and his corruption with the CCP.

Conflating totally unrelated issues. Maybe a break from the news would help.

Good simile.

Get ready for that probably by the end of the year.

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection

'' Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.''
The whole point of the exercise, and that's OK. I don't think a lot of people care if Donald goes to prison or not. Just let him fade away. He will never be completely forgotten, but he will become irrelevant except as a bit of color in US history. And maybe even have some real value as a lesson in what can happen when the same old parade of candidates are presented as our only choices.

But you know all about this corruption because you have inside sources, right?

Republican Judges appointed by trump found no evidence of fraud.

For bringing these lies to court Giuliani has his law license suspended. Sydney Powell , Jenna Ellis and Woods are fighting Bar complaints

Trump and his supporters have lost touch with reality. The base of the Republican Party is deranged
True, but anyone who spoke the truth and had any sense at all, Trump didn't want to hear from them. Instead, he preferred hearing from the off the rails crew, who was just telling him what he wanted to hear, instead of what he needed to hear. In the end, they did him a disservice rather than helping him.

The testimony shows how unstable and dangerous he is.

agreed. he snuck "Team Crazy" ( WH staff's nick-name, not mine ) in because his actual informed staff where giving him the facts of the situation and trump couldn't handle that.



when they were describing the sh*t-show that followed ( with 3-D renderings ) when WH staff confronted "team crazy" i kept expecting "yakety sax" to break out:

And this is from someone who generally has high praise for the work the committee is doing.
You have to give her the benefit of the doubt, the committee is privy to information the public don't know about.
