Trump is leading Biden in several poles….he actually can find his way to a podium and leave the stage without falling and busting his ass so when he is re-elected in 2024 J6’ers will be pardoned as well they should in light of no one being arrested for burning cities after the George Floyd fiasco.

After a year of the county continually violating my 4th and 14th amendment rights and the case was dismissed. I met with county counsel after the fact with the attorney in question present. When asked why she threatened me she said she was "just defending her client." This kind of stuff is the problem with this country.

[@brockjensen2473]

The reason I have a problem with this is because of the way she is conducting herself in this specific situation. I’ve been an attorney for 13 years, she is absolutely right sometimes to defend clients you have to try pushing some boundaries but now when asked about it she is blatantly lying and refusing to admit that’s what she did. The lengths she went to in order to avoid saying they lost in court because their stance was unconstitutional is mind boggling. She’s digging a hole that just keeps getting deeper.

From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” How far America has drifted from those words of hope to the Right-Wing Evangelical Activist. Even the Storybook Fairytale Bible, In Galatians 3:28, Jesus says "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Its crazy how judges shame people for playing stupid and avoiding questions in court, and then do the exact same thing when they are on the hot seat.

[@slicksnewonenow]

It's also crazy that most of us grown adults don't know a load of sh*t when we're looking RIGHT AT IT. This huge waste of time and money is just FOR SHOW. Every Shill in the District of Criminals KNOWS it, too.

[@jonathansonnier3078]

These people play stupid in federal court with no repercussion while at the same time prosecute our true president with completely made up charges The entire system is corrupt from the preschools to the White House DOJ. SUPREME COURT. MILITARY TRIBUNALS FOR THESE PSYCHOPATHS

[@pantarkan7]

... the seat isn't that hot. The senate is going to confirm her no matter what, so she has zero incentive to answer uncomfortable questions.

[@TheDeven1000]

It’s crazy how much of a waste of time these congressional hearings and special council investigations etc are because no one is ever forced to actually answer a question. They either answer with a talking point or say something completely unrelated and sure, they get a little push back, but they’re never forced to just say “yes” or “no” on things. It’s all political theater. Nothing ever comes of it.

She dug her own grave by not telling the truth. If she had just been straight up and said "I was tasked with defending the Mayor, and I had to come up with arguments in her defense, and so I can't just throw her under the bus. I didn't agree with with it, but I had to defend her somehow, and that was the best I could come up with." Who am I kidding. We all know she agreed with the Mayor, and when her decision got struck down, she wanted to pretend she had nothing to do with it.
