I wondered how my late father would have reacted to all of this crap, and then I saw Bowers testify and unfortunately found out. When his voice started to crack talking about his faith, wife and daughter I lost it. Number 45 also ruins the lives of Lady Ruby her daughter and her mother, which kept me crying. Prison is too good for all these traitors, if prison is the only option Guantanamo is still open.

I think the same thing to this as well. Whenever I come across something my dad would have a strong opinion about, I mention that his ashes have shifted on our mantle. That or he heard a really good pun of a dad joke 😖

The adorable authentic patriot Ruby … a woman whose impassioned plea (paraphrasing) “does anyone know what it’s like when the president of the United States who’s supposed to protect you goes after you ?” And we don’t want to even imagine…. I started to cry in grieving for what this woman Miss Moss and her mother Ruby endured because 2 sore losing cry babies hadn’t the guts to accept defeat. The absence of grace in these men is as stunning as mother and daughter’s unshakable courage. I am in grateful awe.

Bottom line the ongoing threat and the takeover of the GOP by violent crazy people is Merrick Garland's fault for not prosecuting Trump... how long are Dems in the US Congress going to tolerate Garland before his criminal negligence is used as grounds for Garland's impeachment? Biden is asleep, he needs to be pressured to find Garland a judgeship to get him out of the way so a competent prosecutor can be appointed as AG.
