collusion isn't a crime, fraud isn't a crime, sexual assault isn't a crime, perjury isn't a crime and lying to the FBI isn't a crime.

Add treason and try Bidens, Joe and Hunter.

Add murder and try Clinton(s).

So you're a believer in the Clinton death list, are you? Welcome to the "only reason I won't put you on ignore is I'm too morbidly curious what you're going to say next" list.

As Republicans move full steam ahead with their disinformation campaign to completely rewrite the events of January 6, over in the real world, the threat of subpoenas for some of the most high-profile Trump loyalists is mounting.

On Sunday, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of only two Republicans on the select committee to investigate the Capitol attack, backed issuing subpoenas for his fellow Republican members, including for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader who reportedly had an “expletive-laced” phone call with Donald Trump during which the former president refused to call off the hundreds of pro-Trumpers that were storming the Capitol.

Another person who may get subpoened is Jim Jordan after he appeared to uncomfortably confirm that he too spoke with Trump on January 6 during an appearance on Fox News this week. “I speak with the president all the time,” Jordan said when directly asked if he spoke with Trump on January 6. “I spoke with him on January 6th. I mean I talk with President Trump all the time. And that’s, that’s, I don’t think that’s unusual.”

Later, Jordan equivocated even further. “Uh, I’d have to go, I’d, I, I, I spoke with him that day after, I think after,” the Ohio congressman said. “I don’t know if I spoke with him in the morning or not. I just don’t know.”

Jeffrey Rosen -- former acting Attorney General under Donald Trump -- provided lawmakers with a treasure trove of information about Donald Trump's attempts to interfere with the 2020 presidential election results.

On Saturday it was revealed that Rosen made himself available to a closed session of lawmakers and their aides from both parties to answer questions about Trump's requests that he use the Department of Justice to intercede on his behalf to stay in office after losing to now-President Joe Biden.

Asked by the CNN host what Rosen revealed, Durbin summed the testimony up with "There is a lot," later adding, "An awful lot there."

"He told us a lot-- seven hours of testimony," the Democratic lawmaker began. "I might quickly add, this was done on a bipartisan basis, Democratic staff and Republican legal staff asking questions during this period of time. Mr. Rosen appeared voluntarily, which says a lot, and cooperated with us."

Yeah, this looks very bad for Trump.

[Seven officers from the United States Capitol Police are suing former President Donald Trump, his longtime adviser Roger Stone and members of far-right extremist groups, alleging they conspired to use violence Jan. 6 to attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Thursday morning, alleges that Trump and the other defendants conspired with one other through the use of force, threats and intimidation that culminated in the attack on the Capitol.

Officer Jason DeRoche, an 18-year veteran of the Capitol Police and a Navy veteran, said the civil lawsuit isn't about winning a financial settlement. Rather, he said, the lawsuit aims to set the record straight about what happened Jan. 6 and make sure history doesn't repeat itself.

"We don't want something like this happening ever again," DeRoche said.

Congressman Bennie Thompson, chair of the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack, is preparing an expanded inquiry into Donald Trump that will scrutinize whether the White House helped plan or had advance knowledge of the insurrection.

The move amounts to an escalation for the committee as they embark on an inquiry into the events around the 6 January assault that could ensnare the former US president and some top allies in the White House and on Capitol Hill, portending an aggressive inquiry with far-reaching ramifications.

House select committee investigators in July started examining the events that left five dead and nearly 140 injured as a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election win.

But for the first time in a congressional inquiry, the committee will also scrutinize whether the White House was involved in efforts to precipitate the Capitol attack – and what Trump knew of such efforts ahead of time, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance praised the work being done in Georgia where Donald Trump and members of his inner circle are being investigated for election tampering following his loss of the state in the 2020 presidential election.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, Vance said the work being done by a grand jury in the state appears to be moving apace and that -- with more witnesses appearing and more information being brought forward -- there appears to is a growing chance that a criminal referral will be made.

"If you just look at his [Trump's] conduct on his face, calling state officials, asking them to find additional votes that he needs, you know, that's the sort of conduct that clearly rings the bell for criminal interference with an election," Vance explained. "It's complicated, because there are difficulties involving the First Amendment, involving official power, and frankly, it is a big burden to put on a district attorney in one county in Georgia to ask her to shoulder that burden when others haven't. But Alex, I still have taped to the wall in my office the exact number of votes he asked for: 11,780. It's been in front of me all these months, because if you simply think about what he did, asked them to find him one more vote than he needed to win Georgia, a crucial state, there is no way that we can ignore that conduct."

October 1, 2021

Today is October 1, 2021, and despite the death of as many as 978 Texans,
as much as $200 billion in damages, and weather predictions that warn
this winter will be similar to the last one, the state’s electrical grid is in
no better shape than when it failed back in February.

During the last regular state legislative session, Republican lawmakers authored
and sponsored SB 3, which they said addressed the issues Texas had with its unique
and highly unregulated electrical grid. In June, Gov. Abbott even said that
“Everything that needed to be done was done to fix the grid.”

Yet, whether intentional or not, the authors of the bill left in a loophole that
doesn’t require natural gas companies to weatherize their systems until next year
and even gives them the option to opt-out from the weatherization altogether —
leaving Texans once again to fend for themselves due to poor governing
and no leadership from the Texas GOP.

The Texanist: How Can You Be a Texan If You’re a Liberal?

An unnamed person from an unspecified place has an unsavory point of view.

January 2020

Q: Texanist, you’re hardly a Texan if you’re one of those pesky liberals.
Would Transplantist not be a better handle?

(Name Withheld)

A: The Texanist receives a fair amount of mail.

He asks for it right there in the fine print of each column he writes:
“Have a question for the Texanist?

He’s always available here.
Be sure to tell him where you’re from.”

Most of what lands in his inbox are missives containing pleas for assistance
with vexing situations (“Should I get rid of the stinky possum carcass that’s
decomposing beneath my house by myself or call in a professional?”),
answers to arcane questions of a Texas-y nature -
(“Why isn’t chicken-fried steak the official state dish of Texas?”),
or friendly comments on recently published columns -
(“I look forward to reading more articles and comments from the Texanist!”).
Occasionally, the Texanist gets mail from prison, which can be interesting.
And every so often the Texanist will get a rambling, incoherent note from somebody
he suspects of TWDCB—Typing While Drunker than Cooter Brown.
Those can also be interesting.

Recently, the Texanist received your brief e-mail, Mr. Withheld.

And that response is: The Texanist, on behalf of all true Texans,
is greatly affronted by your narrow definition of who qualifies
as a Texan.

At various junctures, the Texanist guesses he’s heard from conservative Texans,
liberal Texans, moderate Texans, libertarian Texans, pacifist Texans, Texans
who are and are not god-fearing, vegetarian Texans, old Texans, young Texans,
girl Texans, boy Texans, straight Texans, and LGBTQ Texans, not to mention
the occasional lost Oklahoman, curious Californian, and, at least once, a very
confused Luxembourgian.

"...all of those folks had one thing in common: Whatever their political, religious,
sexual, musical, culinary, automotive, or cowboy-boot-toe-shape inclinations,
they were all Texans."

Former president Donald Trump has said that invoking the Fifth Amendment is something for "the mob" that makes people look "guilty as hell."

But former federal prosecutor Harry Litman told MSNBC on Saturday that he believes Trump will do just that when he is deposed by New York Attorney General Letitia James as part of her civil investigation into his company's business practices.

Since Trump was sworn into office, Republicans claim that people who talk to the FBI are "rats" and subpoenas are treated like something that can be ignored.

Republicans tell witnesses not to cooperate with the feds, and just this week Donald Trump pled the fifth.
And now Republicans are circling the wagons around Trump and declaring themselves to be at war with the FBI...even though TRUMP appointed the current FBI Director!

Once upon a time, didn't the Republican Party claim to be the Party of Law and Order? How did they become the Party of Obstruction and Cover-Ups?
