And most importantly, of course, he's gay. Who knows? Perhaps someday he will actually accomplish something important.

Nope. I betcha a popular candidate will be Beto O’Rourke.
Whatever brand he has will be destroyed when he loses the Guv race in Texas .
My guess is that they go with Madame Defarge Michelle Obama . (Madame Defarge in 'Tale of Two Cities ' quietly knitted the names of her enemy list until she was in a position to purge them )
She is following in the path of the emperor ;and Bubba before her . She did a keynote address at the last convention . She has a book coming out in the fall just in time to launch her campaign in January that they will guarantee will rocket to # 1 on the NY Slimes best seller list . 2.75 million initial printing .
Michelle Obama's book 'The Light We Carry' coming this fall | AP News
Her autobiography was a best seller . She is a media star with Netflix and Spotify deals . She is polling very high for 2024
Poll: Harris, Michelle Obama lead for 2024 if Biden doesn’t run – The Hill
She is playing the 'reluctant candidate ' card which everyone loves . It is true that the emperor and Michelle are rich and she does not need to do it . That makes her the perfect 21st century candidate . She would also have the whole Obama post Presidency machine he created behind her .
Organizing for Action (OFA) - InfluenceWatch
She may even figure a way to become VP in January. The Dems will use the 25th amendment claiming Clueless has "long haul" covid and onset dementia ;and can no longer do the job. That will make Kam the Sham as the temporary place holder .
Madam Defarge at the ticket is perfect for the Dem's .Jacobin revolution She is virtually immune from criticism because like the emperor prior to his run ,she has done nothing in the political arena to scrutinize .(the emperor won because the Dems were able to project their aspirations onto him)

By their own admission, Dems set up the kangaroo court to evade questions about what Madam Mimi knew about the potential for Jan. 6 violence and when she knew it .Secret Service agents were never called to testify in public to determine if Cassidy Hutchinson's story about Trump were true. Questions about how those in charge of Capitol security responded to FBI and Homeland Security warnings about potential violence have not been raised .
What we have gotten instead is hearsay testimony from Hutchinson c/p video snippets of testimony without allowing Trump's own lawyers or Trump friendly Reps to question witnesses or challenge the narrative. The committee is a bunch of partisan zealots rather than truth seekers. They would have gained more credibility and traction if they had let Repubs offer contrary evidence and engaged in true cross examination.
First they tried to imply that Trump incited the riot as an attempt to overthrow the election . When that did not work they went with plan B this week. The claim is that Trump was derelict in his duty by sitting watching tv instead of making sooner the eventual address he made to the rioters. That may indeed be true . It probably was irresponsible . But there was nothing criminal about it . If dereliction of duty was a criteria for criminal procedures against Presidents then almost all of them are guilty at one point in their term. The current POTUS has a steady stream of derelictions.
The truth though is that before the riot Trump acted responsibly . He offered National Guard troops to bolster the Capitol police security . During the riot the part of his speech totally deleted from the testimony is his call for the crowd to PEACEFULLY march to the Capitol.
The facts are there for anyone to read in the Defense IG report about Jan 6 .
"Mr. Miller and GEN Milley met with the President at the White House at 5:30 p.m.," the IG reported. "The primary topic they discussed was unrelated to the scheduled rally. GEN Milley told us that at the end of the meeting, the President told Mr. Miller that there would be a large number of protestors on January 6, 2021, and Mr. Miller should ensure sufficient National Guard or Soldiers would be there to make sure it was a safe event. Gen Milley told us that Mr. Miller responded, 'We've got a plan and we've got it covered.'" (page 31)
Report No. DODIG-2022-039: Review of the DOD's Role, Responsibilities, and Actions to Prepare for and Respond to the Protest and Its Aftermath at the U.S. Capitol Campus on January 6, 2021 (defense.gov)
The report makes it clear that it was the DEMS that turned down the extra security for fear of making it look like the military was involved in the political process
.Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told the IG " he did not want to create the perception that the military was involved in the electoral process,"The report also shows DC Police Chief Robert Contee opposed having National Guard troops. " Chief Contee explained to us that he did not want other Federal law enforcement involved on January 6, 2021, because of the risk associated with having unidentified Federal officers carrying weapons within D.C,"
This even as intel warnings from the FBI ,DHS ,and the Marshall service came into the Capitol Police of possible violence.
You won't hear that in the committee hearings either .

Dem famed attorney Alan Dershowitz predicts that Bannon's conviction will be overturned in appeal. Speaking to Greta Van Susteren ,he said that the conviction was “ entirely in violation of the Constitution” because “ The only provision of the Constitution, which appears basically twice, is trial by jury in and in front of a fair jury. Number one, he didn’t have a fair jury. Number two, the judge took his defenses away from him,”
Alan Dershowitz defends Bannon against conviction controversy | Salon.com
He said the jury was prejudical due to it's TDS. The trial was in DC .
“ And all you had to do was say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this man Bannon worked for Trump.’ That’s the end of the case.”

Beto isn't gay. He's married to a woman since 2005 and has three children with her.

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert does a video expose of Madame DeFarge .His narrative is the she has created a false biography about herself that the public buys into. She is far from the reluctant candidate who will accept the nomination to save the country . Her life has been rooted in political ambition. That is the thesis of the film.
Her father Fraser Robinson was a precinct captain in the Daley Chi-town Democratic Machine, This enabled him provide a nice middle class life for his family .Good for him ;good for his family . A stable family life with parents who provide for their children is the American way .She was a close friend of Sarita Jackson, daughter of Jesse Jackson. She had private dance lessons at an early age ;she attended private schools . She attended the elite Whitney Young Magnet School. She says she was told Princton was out of her reach. Her school councilor denies that .
So why instead of celebrating that does she pretend to paint a picture of an unfortunate child from the South side of Chi-town who was told the good things in life are beyond her grasp ?
Gilbert makes it clear that she has untold political ambitions . When the Dems run through their obvious list of losers ,they will come to the conclusion that she is the only one in their ranks that can win in 2024.

So the Dems held Bannon in contempt for refusing to testify to the show trial . They found a friendly partisan DC jury to convict him. So now he is going to testify .
You would think the Dems would put that in prime time in their circus kangaroo court .
Think again . They are not even going to televise his appearance. He speaks too many inconvenient truths I guess.

The committee was supposed to wrap it up before hurricane Ian . But they can't give it up. So they came up with a screwball theory that in fact Trump knew he had lost the election ;but was ashamed to admit it .or something like that.
But their big October surprise (because the real purpose of the show trial is to influence the mid-term elections ) is to slap Trump with a subpoena. I'll get into the separation of powers issues in a bit.
One has to ask why they did not do this on day one of the committee .
I suggest it is because they want the October specticle of the compliant press floating one story after another about .
Trump fighting the subpoena
Trump pleading the 5th
How will this impact his battles over the FBI raid of his home ?
How the nation barely avoided a fascist MAGA takeover
How Liz Cheney and the never Trumper Repubs are heroes .
How Trump endorsed candidates are suspect traitors .
We've GOT him now !!!
etc etc .
Plenty of fodder ;bread crumbs for the pigeons. To last through the election .
Did the framers construct a Parliamentary for of government where the President is accountable to Congress like a PM is accountable to the Parliament ? NO they did not. If the judiciary rejects Trump's challenge (if he challenges ) to this unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers then that is what we will have.
Trump has stated (I believe ) tongue in cheek that he would love to testify to the committee. That would be a mistake . They would never release his comments unedited . He would also be doing a disservice to the office he held.
Instead he should follow the example of Harry Truman who refused to testify to the House Committee on Un American Activities (another witch hunt committee) when he was issued a subpoena after he had left office.

During it's final act on stage ,the kangaroo court to no one's surprise recommended to the DOJ that criminal charges should be filed against Trump .
I do not believe the Justice Dept will act on any of the referrals. There is already a Special Council and the DOJ is conducting it's own investigation. They will have no use for the partisan hack job presentation by the biased committee.
As Quid says ....there are more important things going on.

Liz Cheney's main argument is that Trump failed to act in a timely manner . One usually builds a criminal case on what someone did ... not what they didn't do. This will be used for charges. Then the so called evidence would be subject to discovery; rebuttal and the use of opposing legal council . Things lacking during the dog and pony show.

Too funny . classified documents from his VP days were found illegally stored in Clueless Joe's office at his "think tank " at the Penn Biden Center (upenn.edu)
Classified documents from Biden's time as VP discovered in private office, source says | CNN Politics
The documents were discovered just a few days prior to the 2022 midterms, yet the announcement of the discovery of the documents was only made yesterday .
AG Garland said
“Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing.”
Oh wait ;he wasn't talking about finding classified documents illegally kept at Clueless' office . That was his justification for raiding Trump's home.
The question is ;why hasn't the FBI raided all of Clueless's homes and offices ? These docs have been illegally stored there for at least 6 years .
Why hasn't there been a special council appointed ?

Flashback to September
Biden, who rarely does interviews, spoke to CBS’ “60 Minutes” in a segment that aired Sunday. He said that when he heard about classified documents taken from the White House, he wondered how “anyone could be that irresponsible.”
Biden added: “ And I thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?”

Now here comes the big question. Will the person on this site who has seemed so outraged at Trump having classified docs be equally outraged at Biden having some? My guess is a resounding "No!", but we'll see.
