Let us not miss the primary focus of what trump did
Today was the second hearing of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. The day began with chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) laying out clearly and simply that what Trump and his minions did was to try to steal from Americans
our right to vote for the leaders we want. That’s the heart of our system of government and central to the rule of law. The investigation of what happened in the last months of the Trump administration isn’t some abstract debate about a short riot, deadly though it was;
it is an examination of an attack on the American people and an attempt to destroy our democracy.
IMHO, the best thing that could happen to what little of the Republican party that remains would be for trump to disappear, preferably into a jail cell but at very least to a desolate political island.
The third hearing is scheduled for 10 AM on Wednesday 6/15.
