“Trump tried to steal an election
… and, so far, none of these defenders have mounted a serious defense against the charge. Instead, they carp about the lack of Trump defenders on the committee. As far as it goes, it’s a fair complaint. It just doesn’t go very far. Heck, even Donald Trump blames Kevin McCarthy for it. But there’s nothing stopping the carpers from offering a defense on TV or outside the hearing room.” — Jonah Goldberg.
How did Mike Pence become a RINO?
Gerard Baker in the Wall Street Journal
 :
“The stolen-election theory carries many of the requisite concoctions of all fabricated conspiracies. But none are as implausible as the premise that the people who stopped Mr. Trump from claiming his rightful re-election were all sinister figures conspiring to hand the reins of power to the illegitimate Joe Biden.
“Because it hasn’t been Adam Schiff and his comrades who have made the most effective case against Donald Trump. It has been Mr. Trump’s own, handpicked people. Think about the list of conspirators that you would have to conclude had somehow become late-convert enemies of Mr. Trump (and American democracy) to believe the former President’s story.
“Mike Pence, impeccable servant of the Republican Party, loyal (crueler observers might say servile) supporter of the former President, who sometime between Nov. 3 and Jan. 6 became a notorious RINO and traitor.
“William Barr, perhaps the most effective defender of Mr. Trump through the mostly manufactured controversies of his term, but who somehow became a double agent for Mr. Biden after the election.
“Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, who stood down Stacey Abrams’s race-baiting charges of a stolen election himself and proved himself a strong conservative in office but somehow plotted with fellow Republicans in the state to confirm a fraudulent victory for his political opponents.”
Get your shine box
Tom Nichols in The Atlantic Daily:
“The January 6 committee, however, deserves a great deal of credit for illuminating the dangerous mediocrities on whom Trump relied for his mischief — the men and women who were certain that their moment had finally arrived. These people — call them the Third String —t hought that they were finally going to The Show, and they were going to burn the Constitution if that’s what it took to stay there.
“Consider, for example, Jeffrey Bossert Clark, a minor Justice Department official who sought to oust his own boss and get Trump to make him the attorney general, after which Clark would try to overturn the election results. … Clark got his comeuppance in a meeting in the Oval Office when Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue warned Trump that any such appointment would lead to mass resignations, and told Clark: “You’re an environmental lawyer. How about you go back to your office, and we’ll call you when there’s an oil spill.”
And then there’s John Eastman …

First, the movie doesn’t show what it says it shows.
• Cellphone tracking isn’t precise enough to distinguish between liberal activists stuffing drop boxes, and store owners, police officers, delivery men and others who have perfectly legitimate reasons to be within a few yards of the same drop box every day.
• In all five battleground states D’Souza considers, it is perfectly legal for third parties to drop off ballots for others, with varying degrees of lenience. …
• Even if every cellphone dot represented a left-wing organizer illegally dropping off another person’s ballot, that still wouldn’t make the ballot invalid. A legal ballot can be illegally delivered, although the guy who delivered it might be in trouble. — (More here.)

I feel badly for the woman, but I would suggest NEVER leave your car running while you leave it momentarily in Madison. There are parasites around just waiting for such an opportunity. This dirtball thief, if caught, should do hard time – at least a year. Put some teeth into the law! Refuse this person a driver’s license for 3 years as well.

“She parked her car in the street, near the panty, and left it unlocked and running.”
I will never understand the mentality that causes people to leave their vehicle unlocked, running and unattended. This is not the victims’ fault but the irresponsible actions of the victim physically enabled a crime of opportunity to happen.
People need to use some common sense, but alas…

Steve, you may better understand “the mentality” when you reach that age and if you were born when she was to reach that age. Moreover, we have no idea about her overall mental/emotional condition.

These kind of irresponsible actions have bothered me since I was a teenager. In my opinion understanding this kind of behavior is basically justifying it and that’s just not going to happen. My wife already knows that if she or I start doing irresponsible things, like that, with a vehicle it’ll be time to take the car keys away.

I am not seeing the logic there Steve but what I want to add to my first comment is something about empathy which is one of the most amazing abilities that humanoids possess. Let me illustrate with an example. Have you ever been in the emotional clutches of something so personally traumatic or upsetting that you were quite literally moving through your day in a daze? I know I have and one of the symptoms is forgetfulness and doing things that you normally wouldn’t do. You can still function but gone or diminished are brain patterns/functions that are usually involuntary (due to repetition) some of which are about self-protection and self-preservation.
This could happen to you or your wife as an anomaly and not be a reason to confiscate car keys. Just sayin.

You clearly don’t know my wife. Did you notice that I apply the same irresponsibility standard to myself in that statement?
I understand your argument, I just disagree with it. Excuses are like @$$holes, everyone’s got one and they all stink.

No, it’s time we put the perps away as they are multiplying faster than jails can be built. Oh wait, they are passing sweat anyway to get out of jail free. Long time has passed, we just need the right person to be killed by losers going 90 miles per hr. Oh wait, there was one killed on mineral pat rd by loser doing 92 to be exact. Sorry, he wasn’t the right one either. Mayor is helping by lowering that speed limits, too bad she doesn’t own a car, is driven to work in police escort.

Forget the fact that her car was unlocked and running. She didn’t “tempt” anyone. This young punk was “looking” for a car to steal. Had she been IN the car, he might have pulled her out, thrown her to the ground, and driven over her as he sped away. The pertinent fact here, is that she could leave her car running in front of 99%+ of the population with no worries. Today “common sense”, says “Don’t step out of your car, and leave it running”. Tomorrow it says “Don’t walk down THAT street”. Eventually “common sense” will say “Never go outside your home after dark”. — If you live in a rodent infested house, “common sense” might seem to be saying “Don’t leave food out on the counter”, when it’s really saying “Buy a mouse trap”.

No time for any crimes is really the root cause of the crime in this city. No one is ever sent to a place for rehab. Where is the guy who shot those two in Madison on a cold Jan. night? you know the one who is in a pic with Sattta our mayor. His mother was trying to get a GoFundMe to get him out of jail. Guy used a 45 magnum and shot both behind their ear in their pjs. 14 years old’s stealing cars with bracelets on for Gods sake. No fear no fear. Put them away!!!!!!
