Props as usual to Mr. Colbert! Just what I needed after losing friends & angering family members over Trump...even being attacked on FB this past weekend! How in the world can these people STILL think T. is right? Beyond puzzled...

[@lousialb8962]

It's a bizarre but extremely and predictably common phenomenon in, for example, dysfunctional families, whereby the truth is so abhorrent to admit, people will actually attack, vilify, and/or ostracize anyone who dares to speak it. Look up "truth teller" or "scapegoat" in relation to families with an alcoholic, abusive, or narcissistic parent. People have to some how rationalize or justify their experience; ironically, that usually means siding with the culpable party. And the commitment to that position is in direct proportion to the level of insanity or evil of the perpetrator

My family and friends agreed our relationship was more important than politics. So despite some of them stupidly supporting Trump, I've lost very few friends and no family.

I'm a Swedish citizen but have spent many years abroad, including twice in the US. This may hurt but what I have noticed is that there may be a lack of civil courage among Americans that we in Europe value very highly. Now Bill Barr, Ivanka, Jared plus many many others decide for some reason to speak out and share their true opinions. Why now? Why not when it really mattered? To have civil courage means to have the courage to stand up for one's opinion even when it involves a personal risk, the ability to stand up for one's values, despite knowledge of open or latent resistance from one's surroundings. The term has French roots; In 1835, courage civil - the individual's courage to have his own opinion - is mentioned in contrast to courage civique, courage as a citizen of the state. It appears civil courage is not an American virtue.

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

[@duanemartin1383]

Because liberals/democrats think they are the only ones allowed to have it and then cry victim should conservatives speak while stating facts. “Civil courage” is the lefts belief that you can burn, loot and destroy because you won’t get prosecuted for breaking the law under Democrat rule…. Like the demonstrators outside of justices homes currently breaking federal law after Chuck Schumer called for violence against those conservatives justices for doing their job.

I'm guessing that it's easier to have Congress do this than take all of this on the Department of Justice because then it rests squarely on Garland.

[@tammyjantzen9004]

The DOJ, as a rule, does not discuss their investigations until they are done. Which is contrary to what Comey did when he announced the investigation of found Hillary emails, which all ended up being duplicates of already-investigated emails. But let's hope the DOJ charges all those involved, including those in Congress. If this doesn't warrant it, then nothing does & we can kiss democracy goodbye.

So glad all these "yes man" men finally grew a backbone. Oh wait just kidding they were under oath and finally couldn't hide their lies.

[@BlackWind-rx5il]

"backbone"? These people are just scared to lie under oath, that's why a lot of them won't testify to begin with and will rather risk to be held in contempt of congress and be indicted and cry political persecution after. Those who are scared of that fate will go there and tell the truth, probably hoping the right wing media either won't air their public admissions OR they'll find a way to twist them and BS their viewers into believing they didn't really hear what they thought they heard. And if everything goes south and the Orange One throws them under the bus, they'll probably bounce back going into some big corporate job thanks to the people who made a fortune out of all the corruption of the administration these goons were part of, OR they'll make a tell all book and go on a tour of all the media to make the most out of it. There's nothing brave about these people. These are not heroes. They supported a corrupted con man until they didn't see an advantage in doing It anymore.
