II have a picture in my head of the Trumptanic hitting the January 6th Committee iceberg with the Republicans all scrambling for the limited number of life boats shooving their base aside. The January 6thCommittee is going to make Watergate llook like a picnic. Wondering if there'll be a record number of Members of Congress expelled from Congress and al record number of the planners and accomplists going to jail and no pardonthis time for MAGgot in chief.

Speaking about Wednesday’s Senate’s vote, because the general public, for good reason, doesn’t understand Senate rules, which are quite obtuse, whatever people hear, without learning what actually happened on the floor, one cannot expect the indignant public response one would hope for. Unless the public fully is made aware of the modest, restricted rule change 48 Democratic Senators had proposed (if interested, see my posting from yesterday for the details) to pass minimal federal voter protection safeguards, one can’t expect a public outcry that could lead to real reform upon learning that 52 Senators rejected this slight rule change and chose, instead, to stick with rules that allow a single Senator merely to dial in a filibuster on a motion just to proceed to debate.

I will persist to get the word out, but, frankly, with an issue of this magnitude, I might need the attention of someone with the appropriate credentials for this outrage to get the hearing it merits.
