Opinion | The Jan. 6 committee’s report on Mark Meadows shows the Trump coverup is imploding – The Washington Post

For instance, the report notes that Meadows received “many messages” urging him to get Trump to issue a statement that might quell the attack. It also says Meadows was with Trump or nearby as Trump learned about it and weighed what to do in response.

Indeed, the report discloses that the committee has obtained a text message indicating that Meadows was “pushing hard” to “condemn this s–t,” meaning Meadows was urging Trump to publicly call off the rioters.

Here’s what this really means: Meadows almost certainly has direct knowledge of how Trump responded to all these repeated demands that he call off the violent assault. The report says the committee wants to question Meadows about this, but he’s refusing to answer any questions.

What is it that Meadows does not want to testify to?

Well, we know from press accounts, such as this Post report, that Trump watched the violent assault unfold on TV and ignored many frantic pleas that he step in. One Trump adviser told The Post that Trump was enjoying the spectacle of his followers fighting on his behalf.

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     For those interested in helping to begin this project, I have finally finished the third draft of DoBetter, formerly known as BabyAcres, or Baby Floors, and am out of spoons.  So, I am requesting volunteers to help with the work of providing feedback for this book, and preparing to send it out into the world, as yours, Intrepid Volunteers.

    I’m still posting the rough draft sections on Wednesdays as a reminder and rallying point, until someone offers to build a site or portal for the set of communities to be built around this project.  I offer Do Better as a starting point for guidelines over the next 70 years, with the understanding that the project must be shaped by those who come after me.  Thus Do Better, while written by my hand, must be released into other hands to continue the journey. …

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

There was a time Relationships matured like wine They always blossomed into something concrete And the circuit would always be complete Those were innocent days And people had honest ways But times have changed Just like marriages are less arranged I grew up believing if they've had more than one They're Casanova, womanizers or just for fun So, everyone should end up with their childhood sweetheart And there would be no replacement for that part Love was meant to be eternal Feelings were never expected to be situational Engagements were supposed to be perpetual And love was never meant to be conditional There was a time I thought it were a crime If you broke up with someone I'd point at them with the judgement gun But, today I look around and see Most married people aren't really happy Most committed people are actually miserable Cursing themselves for that decision…
