I relentlessly post threats of tyranny. Block me.
Why I consistently block accounts and people.
- name calling
- lying
- posting inaccurate or unserious or dangerous critical information
- categorizing or pigeonholing any group
- misogynistic language
- racist language
- hateful language

Strategic blunder by MAGA to have Jack Smith testify about his evidence. He’s a skilled, meticulous prosecutor and he made an airtight case. MAGA was grasping and looked amateurish.
Jack Smith spent more than 8 hours answering questions in a closed-door deposition before the House Judiciary Committee on Dec 17
It’s worth watching — you can see why Smith wanted to testify publicly — and why the committee waited until New Year’s Eve to release the video

And in fact, you will have seen that Jack Smith takes great pains to *only* base his answers on things that are in the indictment, and to *not* base his answers on things in his final report.

Releasing a 255-page transcript on New Year’s Eve isn’t transparency, it’s an attempt to bury accountability while people are distracted. Read it. Share it. Text it to your family, friends, and neighbors. Truth doesn’t disappear just because powerful people want it buried.
