It seems so shocking that these monstrous criminals like Meadows thought they could succeed in their criminality ... for the first time in the 1000’s of years these crimes against humanity have been committed ... and be shocked when held accountable. Makes the wisdom of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius even more profound ... to have insured someone whisper in his ear, each time he was praised, “you are just a man, you are just a man”
What I just don’t get, and haven’t since we heard about the electeds in on the plot from the Jan. 6 Committe Hearings (?) e.g. Roy & Lee, is why they haven’t been indicted for something akin to treason— or held accountable in any way? They violated their constitutional oaths. Why are there no consecuente for them? Is it just that the texts that have come to light are too vague? What about the Willard War Room? Weren’t some of the House& Senate leaders, like those two there?
We lived in Asheville when rump was put in office. We participated in the women's march on 1/21/17 where I met a couple who had been looking for Meadows. They lived about 4 hours away and had been on the hunt in Raleigh and elsewhere. He was never in his office and they had been to several areas in NC trying to find him (they held up a sign for him). I didn't like or trust him then (as "our" rep (yuck)) so it wasn't surprising to learn he's part of the R.I.C.O.
Soooo , some points to consider..1-a fairly fixed portion of American citizens want an authoritarian government which says something about their make up…2-what changes in our country are seriously frightening to a portion of our population …3- some of these behaviors seem to have strong genetic/ evolutionary links…4- what might be the specific steps to be taken that would counter these citizens… at least we have a fairly clear idea of the problems and constitutional areas of vulnerability…
Thugshots. When oh when will his texting buddies be held to account? And I didn't know Meadows was an amateur "paleontologist" - THAT story in the NYer is a headspinner what with all the (unreported) real estate dealings.
Ruth, so interesting that you read Meadows’ torpor (sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone, per Cassidy Hutchinson) as evidence that he had expected the violence all along. I had always thought that Hutchinson was describing an ambitious, corrupt aide de camp who was actually having a nervous breakdown — overwhelmed, had completely lost control of the phony narrative, with zero influence over his decompensating boss, and who had become catatonic & terrified, scrolling through the phone like a zombie. You make a great point about the part he actually played.
My first thought after seeing Meadow's mug shot last week was that this dude is scared shitless and doing some serious drinking. I see the shock and anger now.
More and more commentators, even on MSNBC, are saying he might be successful in getting the case moved or even in having the whole thing dropped. I didn't like the judge's question. If one issue is his duty, does it mean the whole thing gets moved?
So the question being considered is just, was one part his duty, not, is their mountains of evidence of his crime?
Whatever is coming to Meadows (consequence-wise), let it/them come! However, I must remain laser-focused on the hailstorm of consequences that legalistic prognosticators have in the forecast for the former feckless freeloader of the free world, DonutRump.
Why Mark Meadows' Mug Shot Haunts Me
So good. Thanks.
My first thought when I saw the mugshot was that he did not really believe that it was happening.

Thank you Ruth! It is even more necessary that the ‘suits’ and not just the ‘boots’ get prosecuted.

He looks exhausted and I'm sorry but I'm glad.
The sociopathic cult has zero remorse or a conscience! It’s scary having to deal with them because they’ll do anything that benefits their cause!

only following orders
Thank you Ruth for mentioning the court’s knave Comey. Still unforgivable .
