Jan 6 committee plans to go public [Happy New Year edition]
Jan 03, 2022 4:31 pm
In an alarmingly surprising announcement, the January 6 committee has claimed that it will go public with its findings.
Maybe now #TFG may be in deep doo-doo? I doo-doubt it.
But perhaps some congressional careers will be over and the traitorous goons will take on new jobs as lobbyists on K Street and make 10x or 100x what they made as congress critters...
As Don King might have said: Only in America.

Oh, and this:
Twitter permanently bans Marjorie Taylor Greene's personal account
Twitter isn't shying away from banning more high-profile US politicians. As The New York Times reports, the social network has permanently banned Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's personal account after a fifth “strike” for spreading COVID-19 misinformation. Her official account is still active as of this writing because it hasn't run afoul of Twitter's rules.
It's not clear what immediately precipitated the ban. Twitter spokeswoman Katie Rosborough said only that the company had “been clear” it would issue permanent suspensions for “repeated violations” of its COVID-19 misinformation policy.
Greene had faced an escalating series of bans over her inaccurate claims. She falsely claimed in July that COVID-19 wasn't dangerous unless you were over 65 or obese, and in August incorrectly maintained vaccines were “failing” against the new coronavirus' Delta variant. The posts respectively led to 12-hour and one-week suspensions.
