I may not agree with Elon Musk on everything politically but he seems to be a good man, based on how he has handled Twitter since taking it over.
but like i said, “always take a mad man at his word, if he says he has them and will use them, crush him.”
Big thanks Elon! What a bunch of POS traitors we have running this country. There will be a final judgement.
Would you want to face perjury charges from a DC judge and jury based on saying something you or I would think was perfectly true. God’s truth is not an adequate defense in all human jurisdictions. Speech within the context of official Rep/Senator business is by its nature political and in a representative democracy it is not just the speech of them personally but the delegated speech of their constituents. It deserves extra strong protection. If they lie too much the check is for us to vote them out or perhaps for their mates to expel them. No court should interfere with conduct there because of separation of powers. To earn that requires the non-trivial process of winning their seat. SCOTUS has somewhat extended that protection as delegated to their staff doing their official duties. But it isn’t unlimited. As a non-lawyer I can’t claim to know all the precise limits. But if they were to slander you when grocery shopping back home I don’t think they’d be protected. If they lied under oath in court for a divorce suite I don’t think they’d be protected. Lying under oath to Congress is infrequently prosecuted, and currently only under a double standard, but IIRC the witnesses to the J6 kangaroo court were sworn, the J6 committee members were not sworn beyond the general Congressional oaths taken when seated. I don’t think they qualify for perjury because they weren’t speaking under oath in the sense that requires. However, those morally guilty in our minds spread their filth widely and may have thus incurred legal exposure beyond the limits of the speech and debate clause. By all means look for that as an opportunity for slander or libel charges, rather than perjury ones.
“The people behind the war don’t even say that. They lied.”
Oh, so Saddam complied with all UN resolutions, allowed unfettered inspections, didn’t shoot at aircraft?
As for ‘lying about WMDs’ it was actually your MSM and their politicians who lied.

“WMDs were found in Iraq, just not enough to justify the war.”
Please cite your source for “let’s invade Iraq because there is a shitton of WMDs there” as the justification for the Iraq war.
Spend some time and educate yourself on the actual reasons behind the decision to invade Iraq rather than regurgitating your MSM political programming.
The J6 Committee should be in prison for withholding evidence for partisan political reasons that sent people to prison for far more serious crimes than they committed
The democrats and media have been exposed of how dangerous they are to freedom.
1984 in progress
It was becausebecause of WMDs. They changed it after none were found. You’re defending Bush and Cheney?
Why didn’t they find any, and where were the photos?
The J6 violated the civil rights under color of authority of all of these people being prosecuted or detained. All of these people should sue every person on the J6 unselect committee on 42USC1983 claims. Withholding exculpatory evidence is a very serious Felony act.
Some of those were taken to Syria and buried…
Agree a strong case
Withholding exculpatory evidence is a very serious Felony act.
Bring back tar and feathers, and being run out of town on a rail.
That was a just punishment for corrupt politicians in the 19th century.
Nice rant.
We do need to get more creative.
I know it happens all the time (I would venture that there are exponentially more lies than truths spoken on the floor of the House and Senate). But my earlier reply was where that is found in the Constitution. Someone stated it was protected by a specific clause - but I don’t see that in any terminology in the Constitution...
But they did - there were photos of bunkers and the shells in question (along with chem suits and gear). The problem - they were labeled by the media as “old stock” that just didn’t get destroyed in earlier rounds of destroying chemical weapons and/or forgotten storage.
“Then why didn’t the Bush Administration say that they were? There’s no proof.”
Visibly-affected US troops appeared on American TV among many unfired shells stored in Iraqi desert sand.
The Media is complicit, as they never again presented the video evidence during WMD discussions. .
Saddam likely wanted to parade a captured American pilot through Baghdad.
Yellowcake Uranium was removed by the ton and flown to Canada for processing.
Democrats are now starting a silly investigation into twitter and Musk. How predictably evil, and stupid.
