| Could it be... Trump derangement syndrome? |
Again... these are equal branches. The President, Secret Service, and White House is no more responsibe for the Capitol complex security than Congress, their security, and the Capital police are responsibe for securing the White House. So when you watch the Democrats push the tired nonsense that there is criminal liability for the President "not" to have done something "security wise" - it is literally because they ran out of legitimate arguments to make.
Gaslighting! Such a simple thing to do to the mindless who are obsessed with hate.

Reaction to the January 6 Hearing – Part II
July 21, 2022 at 10:45 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 251 Comments
There will never be a moment when I’m not enraged by what happened on January 6th.
Tonight’s hearing was especially infuriating. There have to be consequences for Donald Trump. It’s imperative if our democracy is to continue. It’s necessary if we’re to remain a free nation.
Here are some of things we learned tonight:
Stunning video showed Trump refused to read a script prepared by his staff to call off the rioters.Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone testified that Trump was the only one among those in the White House that day who didn’t want the mob cleared out of the Capitol.Audio indicated rioters were parsing Trump’s tweet telling them not to harm the Capitol Police, but concluding “he didn’t say not to do anything to the congressman.”Several Secret Service agents have retained private counsel to help them respond to inquiries from the committee.Video showed Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) fleeing the Capitol after he was photographed riling up the crowd.Jared Kushner testified that he believed Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called the White House because he was “scared” of the rioters.Congressional leaders were shown in secure location talking to defense officials about clearing the building and resuming counting electoral votes.
Video showed Trump refusing to say “the election was over” just 24 hours after the Capitol attack.
One final thought: After learning how close former Vice President Mike Pence was to danger, it seems very important to hear from him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pence is a witness when the hearings resume in September.
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump spent hours in front of a television at the White House watching the attack on the Capitol unfold on Jan. 6, 2021, ignoring pleas from staff, supporters and family to call off the rioters—and even at times encouraging them—according to testimony Thursday at a prime-time hearing of the House committee investigating the attack.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/jan-6-committee-hearing-to-focus-on-trumps-actions-during-attack-on-capitol-11658395800?st=hcnaw0r4gjsa5qk&reflink=share_mobilewebshare
Former President Donald Trump spent the little more than three hours between the end of his Ellipse speech and his video telling rioters to go home watching TV, making a conscious decision not to intervene as his supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol for 187 minutes,
Your TLS is incurable.
It's actually a symptom of IED.
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a condition that involves sudden outbursts of rage, aggression, or violence. These reactions tend to be irrational or out of proportion to the situation.
Unfortunately it is incurable and progressive.
After eight gripping hearings, the panel investigating the January 6 attack has completed its first phase of laying out one of the most consequential stories of the modern era: how America’s democracy came to the brink of collapse in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
The White House was paralyzed for three hours on Jan. 6 as former President Trump rebuffed frantic pleas from anxious aides to intervene to quell the violence at the U.S. Capitol, according to evidence presented Thursday night by the House committee investigating last year’s rampage.
Trump’s inaction over that 187-minute span — even in the face of desperate calls from top staff and close family — allowed the riot to escalate, investigators charged, threatening the lives of lawmakers and his own vice president, Mike Pence, who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 to certify Joe Biden’s election victory.
That inactivity was no accident, in the panel’s telling, but just another part of Trump’s plan to weaponize the fury of his supporters — convinced by Trump himself that the election was “stolen” — in an effort to remain in power despite his election defeat.
“President Trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the Ellipse and telling the mob to go home,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.). “He chose not to act.”
Thursday’s prime-time hearing — the eighth in six weeks — was an autopsy of those tense 187 minutes, from the moment Trump finished his rally speech at the White House Ellipse, where he encouraged supporters to “fight like hell” and march to the Capitol, until he released a video urging the rioters to go home.
The account of those hours portrayed a president fixated on the riot, which he was following closely on Fox News from the head of the table in the White House dining room, a witness testified. He would remain there for more than two-and-a-half hours, beginning at 1:25 p.m., the committee said, calling Republican lawmakers, to urge them to fight the election results, and his campaign lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who was spearheading the “stop the steal” campaign.
The details of Trump’s actions during those hours are only now coming into focus, based on witness testimony, and the committee suggested the secrecy was by design.
The presidential daily diary contains no information from the period between 1:21 p.m. and 4:03 p.m.; the call log is empty for nearly 8 hours that day; and the White House photographer was prohibited from taking pictures of Trump, despite her efforts to do so.
Still, after interviewing more than 1,000 witnesses, the committee has cobbled together much of what happened that day. Among the revelations presented during Thursday’s hearing:
• Trump was not in the dark about the violence at the Capitol. Within 15 minutes of returning to the White House, he learned the building was under attack.
• Trump did not call any of his national security leaders for the duration of the riot, opting instead to call lawmakers about the certification vote
•
...
ADMINISTRATION / 5 HOURS AGO
Seven stunning moments from the Jan. 6 hearing
HOUSE / 6 HOURS AGO
“We may lose the ability to leave,” one agent warned moments before Pence was ushered to an underground loading dock, where he remained for the remainder of the riot.
“President Trump did not fail to act … he chose not to act,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said at Thursday’s hearing.
While Trump’s public silence during much of the violence is already well-known, the panel argues that the new evidence it presented about what happened inside the West Wing showed he purposely didn’t intervene in the chaos until it was clear the mob had failed to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election.
“Donald Trump ignored and disregarded the desperate pleas of his own family, including Ivanka and Don Jr.,” said the select panel’s chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), referring to the former president’s children. “He could not be moved.”
Only the willfully ignorant and brain dead supporters of trump would conclude others could have quelled the riots!!!!!! Trump praised his MAGA's a patriots and were following his instructions.......Sad Lil Schitty thinks trump won and will defend his lie till the end,,,, which I hope is soon!!!!!
Merrick Garland Has a Lot to Think About
July 22, 2022 at 6:54 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 18 Comments
Wall Street Journal: “‘The case against Donald Trump, in these hearings, is not made by witnesses who are his political enemies,’ said Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chair, at the close of the hearing, the eighth and last of the current series. ‘It is instead a series of confessions by Donald Trump’s own appointees, his own friends, his own campaign officials, people who worked for him for years, and his own family.’
New York Times: “Through a range of witness testimonies, the committee demonstrated that Mr. Trump never reached out to the heads of any law enforcement or national security department or agency in the government to seek help in responding to quell the violence. Fox News footage, which Mr. Trump was watching from his dining room, showed how the Capitol Police were under siege, massively outmanned and struggling to repel the crowd. But the president remained unmoved.”
Playbook: “A year and a half later, and we are still learning new things about Jan. 6 — and almost all of the revelations strengthen the case that the Jan. 6 committee has been building about Donald Trump’s (perhaps criminal) culpability that day. Merrick Garland has a lot to think about after last night.”
Axios
Former President Trump’s top allies are preparing to radically reshape the federal government if he is re-elected, purging potentially thousands of civil servants and filling career posts with loyalists to him and his "America First” ideology, people involved in the discussions tell Axios.
The impact could go well beyond typical conservative targets such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Internal Revenue Service. Trump allies are working on plans that would potentially strip layers at the Justice Department — including the FBI, and reaching into national security, intelligence, the State Department and the Pentagon, sources close to the former president say.
During his presidency, Trump often complained about what he called “the deep state.”
The heart of the plan is derived from an executive order known as “Schedule F,” developed and refined in secret over most of the second half of Trump’s term and launched 13 days before the 2020 election.
The reporting for this series draws on extensive interviews over a period of more than three months with more than two dozen people close to the former president, and others who have firsthand knowledge of the work underway to prepare for a potential second term. Most spoke on condition of anonymity to describe sensitive planning and avoid Trump’s ire.
They did it. They pulled it off. Anyone who feared that the January 6 committee’s season finale would turn into an anti-climax – more Game of Thrones than M*A*S*H – need not have worried. There were shocks, horrors and even laughs.
The eight “episodes” have exceeded all expectations with their crisp narrative and sharp editing, a far cry from the usual dry proceedings on Capitol Hill. Each has recapped what came before, teased what is to come and compellingly joined the dots against Donald Trump.
Much of the credit must go to James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, who was brought in to help produce the hearings like a true crime series. Give that man an Emmy (if only to infuriate Trump, a TV obsessive).
Some viewers might have been disappointed on Thursday by the absence of chairman Bennie Thompson due to coronavirus (though he did join to open and close the hearing via video link). Yet with Liz Cheney in the chair and Goldston in the editing suite, a Grand Guignol was guaranteed.
There were chilling details of a US vice-president’s staff calling their families because they feared death as the rioters closed in, having breached the Capitol that January 6 afternoon; there were damning stories about Trump watching an insurrection for hours on live TV and resisting pressure from senior staff to intervene; there were comical glimpses of a rightwing senator fleeing the mob he had emboldened.
And from outtakes on 7 January there was the defining image of Trump struggling to read a teleprompter, stumbling over simple words such as “yesterday”, and especially those that acknowledged he was a loser, and banging the presidential lectern like a frustrated child. “This election is now over. Congress has certified the results – I don’t want to say the election’s over.”
02:07
Trump says ‘I don’t want to say the election is over’ in outtake video message – video
To be in the Cannon Caucus Room as it all unfolded was to feel electricity in the air. It buzzed with the anticipation of reporters, photographers, TV camera operators, police officers, congressional aides and spectators. Once proceedings were under way beneath two giant chandeliers and the high, ornately-carved ceiling, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal – who had been trapped in the House balcony on January 6 – could be seen fighting back tears as the scenes of carnage were replayed on a big screen.
Whereas the first seven hearings set out unforgivingly what Trump had done, this one told a gripping story about what he did not do, for 187 minutes on 6 January 2021. As his enraged supporters stormed the US Capitol, the president did not call them off or contact senior law enforcement or military officials who could have curbed the violence as the US Capitol Police and city police were vastly outnumbered.
What he did do was watch TV in his dining room next to the Oval Office, phone senators in a bid to make them delay the certification of his election defeat byJoe Biden, and call his unhinged lawyer and fellow coup-plotter Rudy Giuliani. It was not so much Nero fiddling while Rome burns as Nero dancing maniacally in the flames.
The details were set out with the committee’s now customary slick and pacy presentation, cutting seamlessly from video deposition to 3D graphic, from archive footage to document excerpt, from Trump tweet to live witness.
Thompson and Cheney delivered pithy statements about Trump’s dereliction of duty. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican member of the panel, summed up: “President Trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the Ellipse and telling the mob to go home. He chose not to act.”
Ch, aka Scott, if any Democrat President had failed to do what Trump failed to do, you would be going bonkers, and you know it.
Are you actually TRYING to make a clown of yourself?

“The top-rated news network, Fox News Channel, stuck with its own lineup of commentators.”

The January 6 Committee hearings have been brilliant.
Using testimony almost exclusively from Republicans, the committee has focused the narrative on how Donald Trump and his allies worked to undermine our democracy.
After the hearing last night, Scott has been silent because the former President Donald Trump watched TV and refused to do anything to stop the invasion of the Capital building for three hours and seven minutes.

Like Musk, company officials generally expect inflation to come down from the 8.6% quarterly growth rate from a year ago, as measured by the consumer price index. The CPI accelerated 9.1% in July, the highest number since November 1981.

Rep. Massie to Buttigieg: Electric Cars Use 4 Times The Electricity Of An Air Conditioner
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg at a hearing on Tuesday: "Numbers are important. It would take four times as much electricity to charge the average household's cars as the average household uses on air conditioning. Do you think that could be -- so, if we reach the goal by 2030 that Biden has of -- of 50 percent adoption instead of 100 percent adoption, that means the average household would use twice as much electricity charging one of their cars as they would use for all of the air conditioning that they use for the entire year."

Biden Races To Sniff One Last Girl Before Losing Sense Of Smell From COVID
WASHINGTON, D.C. — After testing positive for COVID today, President Biden immediately rushed out of the White House to go sniff one last little girl before losing his sense of smell.
"You mean I won't be able to smell anything?" said a distraught Biden as his doctor broke the news. "I've got to go then, there's no time to lose! Fire up Marine One! Where's the closest elementary school?"
Biden's COVID diagnosis comes despite the President being twice-vaccinated and boosted. "The President has taken every precaution possible to ensure that his dearly beloved olfactory nerve remains healthy," said White House physician Dr. Elliot Reed. "Smelling little girls' hair and eating ice cream are his two great pleasures, and he guards those fiercely. He actually tried to combine them by making the National Science Foundation create an ice cream that smelled like hair, but aides shot that down."
Desperate for one last sniff before COVID took hold, Biden directed Marine One to land at nearby Maury Elementary School. "Hey, kids! President Biden is back once again for a surprise visit!" announced Principal Donna Cleary as she watched the helicopter land in the parking lot. "He sure does come to visit a lot. Such a great supporter of education!"
At publishing time, President Biden had reportedly ordered every ice cream flavor in America delivered to the White House after learning he could also lose his sense of taste.
Say it Newt, speak it
Voter frustration with President Joe Biden and Democrats is helping to build a tidal wave of political rejection so large it could sideline the Left for two generations, according to former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
“If we're right,” he told Secrets, “then the scale of the defeat may resemble 1920,” when Republicans won 10 Senate seats and 63 House seats and made Warren G. Harding president in a landslide of 404 electoral votes.
“If that's what happens, the Democrats, certainly in the House and maybe in the Senate, will be out of contention for probably two generations. They just won't be able to claw their way back in,” he added.
Gingrich has been bullish on GOP election chances and is working with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on an election agenda to build a Republican-plus majority.
In a new white paper shared with Secrets, he called for a “New American Majority,” writing, “Republicans have to learn to talk about a New American Majority — not a Republican majority. Plan, think, and act for the American Majority. This requires listening to and learning from a lot of people who have not been historically part of the Republican Party.”
The left ,we'll, left this discussion on the Current Falling President Failing Joe.
The goal is to make damn sure WE THE People fell real pain.
The more pain that we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles," Madam Buttigieg
President Joe Failure is in fact the Third Term of The Lost Years.
"Barack Obama's Presidency Is A Complete Failure By His Own, Self-Imposed Standards"
“fighting for the middle class.”
Meanwhile, electricity prices are skyrocketing to all-time highs, according to the government’s own official statistics. The Electricity Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hit an all-time record in November, 20% higher than 6 years ago. That is another loss for the middle class, further reducing real incomes.
bottom 80% have been declining consistently under Obama, because of his poor record of generating economic growth, and any normal recovery from the 2008-2009 recession. Only the incomes of the top 20% have been rising under Obama, as the Fed’s loose monetary policies have juiced the stock market and corporate profits.
This has to be considered a not even counted in these unemployment rates.
Reagan suffered a severe recession starting in 1981, which resulted from the monetary policy that broke the back of the roaring 1970s inflation. But all the job losses of that recession were recovered after 27 months, with the recovery fueled by traditional pro-growth policies. By this point in the Reagan recovery, 71 months after the recession started, jobs had grown 11.2% higher than when the recession began, representing an increase of about 11 million or more additional jobs.
In November, black unemployment was still 12.5%, after 5 years under President Obama. The Hispanic, or Latino, unemployment rate was still 8.7%. The teenage unemployment rate, reflecting Obama Democrat experiments with the minimum wage, was 20.8%. The black teenage unemployment rate was 35.8%.
Even though the entire 1981-1982 recession occurred during Reagan’s first term, while only the last 5 months or so of the 2008-2009 recession occurred during Obama’s first term, real median weekly incomes for females rose 32.1% in Reagan’s first term, compared to 6.6% in Obama’s first term. Employment of women rose by 4,460,000 in Reagan’s first term, while women suffered a net loss of 354,000 jobs during Obama’s first term. Conversely, the number of women not in the work force rose by 4,458,000 in Obama’s first term, compared to 345,000 in Reagan’s first term.
More than 3 times as many jobs were created for African-American women in Reagan’s first term, compared to Obama’s first term, even though the population was much larger in Obama’s first term. Jobs for African American women rose by 15.1% in Reagan’s first term, compared to 2.6% in Obama’s first term.
Teenage female African Americans employed fell by 19.1% in Obama’s first term, compared to a decline of just 1.5% in Reagan’s first term. The unemployment rate for teenage female African-Americans rose by 5.7 percentage points in Obama’s first term, compared to just 1.1 percentage points in Reagan’s first term. So who is conducting the real War on Women.
Obama apologists cannot say Obama’s unemployment record is so bad because the recession was so bad. The American historical record is the worse the recession, the stronger the recovery, even during the Great Depression. So the 2008-2009 recession really just set the foundation for what should have been a booming recovery coming out of it, in 2009-2010, which would have made Obama such a hero.

In a closing statement, Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chair, noted that most of its case against Trump has been made by Republicans. She ridiculed the notion that the committee’s findings would be much different if Republicans other than she and Rep. Adam Kinzinger were members.
“Do you really think that Bill Barr is such a delicate flower that he would wilt under cross-examination?” she said.
The Republicans watching Fox News Channel on Thursday night didn’t hear her.
