    Oh, it definitely is. Part of this is, I believe, the effect of the continued convictions/sentencing by the DoJ. Sure, they are less than what we want, but remember that those guys are operating on White Privilege so it will be a shock that it isn't applied to them. Additionally, I believe, that they have been angry since 2008, and really angry since 2016. But for most people, it is emotionally tough to sustain that level of anger for long, sustained periods. Some people can, but not most. And really, Jan 6 was a culmination of several things along this line, but since nothing has come of it, why bother continuing to invest that my anger.

    As for the bullshit, I think the continued onslaught by the J6 committee, the DoJ, not to mention all the crap that is happing in places like Twitter (advertisers leaving), is having an effect on the voters.

    And for the over the top anger/bullshit, that is on both sides. We are humans and after having years (decades) of separation from our "neighbors," and then the shock of the pandemic, we want to "see" each other again. This anger won't cut it and the bullshit is not bringing people together.

    Assuming Biden is re-elected, that will be one of his great legacies: getting past the insurrection. (Now before anybody here is talking about voting, that is different. I'm talking about human connection here.)

    Do you mean bringing charges, not dropping them?

    Seems like a lot of them are true believers. Wonder how that plays in front of the jury.

    Yes - basically they already have this evidence, but the trial prep would involve deposing Raffensberger before the GJ

    I know it seems like a first step, but he may have been a cooperating witness anyway - it certainly makes sense to me that he would be, as a public official.

    I think i will get round to reading Denver Riggleman's book on the j6 data

    He has said that it clearly shows broad contacts between Trump's circle and the far right.

    Especially someone in the white house rang one of the rioters during the attack

    strange!

    We all know the call came from inside the House. But I think we all want to know who made the call.

    No way. Definitely cfb material, except he was born in VA where there is no cfb.

    EDIT: ugh. That peckerwood filth shares a birthday with me and Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee.

    I hate when that happens.

    On the other hand... this makes the Zodiac look pretty bad. If I remember correctly, the worst for me (and ASF) is John Hinckley. Well, maybe Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher.

    Yep. He plays up his Europeanism, plays at working class sympathies so he would definitely play with football fandom.

    Can’t arrest those people here and deprive them of their rights. First off the Justice Dept haven’t the moxie and if they do try, it’ll go all the the way to the Supreme Court and be declared unconstitutional.

    On the plus side, I'm pretty strong with Catholicism: G.K. Chesterton and John F. Kennedy. And musically, Noel Gallagher is partially offset by Melissa Etheridge, who was born on the exact same day I was.
