Res ipsa loquitur, but it’s more fun if David Waldman and Greg Dworkin put their 2 cents in:
Another day of January 6 hearings reveal that not only Donald Trump is a deluded idiot, but that it takes a village of deluded idiots to raise a coup. “We’ve got lots of theories, we just don't have the evidence” explains it all. It is all they ever had. The less things make sense, the more it makes sense, it seems.
The “plan” for getting the fake electoral votes “counted” by Mike Pence wouldn’t stand up to any scrutiny, therefore scrutiny was assiduously avoided. Senator Ron Johnson wanted to hand-deliver fake electors' votes to Mike Pence on Jan. 6, and as luck would have it, a package of some sort from someone ended up in his… rather someone on his staff’s hands, and ended up in the hands of someone, but not Mike Pence. No one is sure how, or why, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Michigan electors hoped to hide overnight in the state Capitol because the state Senate chamber is where the magic happens. Mark Meadows wanted to send Georgia election investigators “coins, and actual autographed MAGA hats” as a token of appreciation.
When does the Right begin with their “Shaye Moss was no angel” smear campaign? Oh, that’s right, that is what they opened with. In fact, her family has experienced generations of preparation for yesterday’s testimony. White parents in Georgia hounded a black educator out of town, which was good enough for Republican voters, they didn’t need to add them to the school board.
