#1 Robert Reich: Like Democrats treated this Republican at a Republican Free Speech Rally?

Oh and twitter banned the man who tweeted this.
So twitter needs to go before the commission as a guilty part of the violence.

#3 America needs a Truth and Reconciliation committee to investigate the coup attempt by the Deep State Against President Trump and American Democracy.

#4 A Truth and Reconcilation Commission

I thought that was the job of DoJ in covering up the failed coup.

#5 "Truth and Reconciliation Commission.'

I don't think many folks understand where this type of thing will end up.

Wiki Truth and Reconciliation: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a court-like restorative justice[1] body assembled in South Africa after the end of apartheid.[2] Witnesses who were identified as victims of gross human rights violations were invited to give statements about their experiences, and some were selected for public hearings. Perpetrators of violence could also give testimony and request amnesty from both civil and criminal prosecution.

The TRC, the first of the 1003 held internationally to stage public hearings, was seen by many as a crucial component of the transition to full and free democracy in South Africa. Despite some flaws, it is generally (although not universally) thought to have been successful.[3]

The Institute for Justice and Reconciliation was established in 2000 as the successor organisation of the TRC.

#10 If he thinks an honest Truth and Reconciliation commission won't put a bunch of Democrats in prison he's really been pounding the Kool-Aid.

#11 We needed one of these after the Cold War.

Imagine if Ayers and Dohrn had had proper justice meted out to them nearly 30 years ago.

Maybe the Kenyan Candidate wouldn't have been President.

If he thinks an honest Truth and Reconciliation commission won't put a bunch of Democrats in prison he's really been pounding the Kool-Aid.

He's counting on it being the opposite of honest.

#12 The whole point of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission is *NOT* truth and reconciliation.

And since when are we looking at South Africa as other than an example of what not to do?

2008 or so, although we've been sanctifying and canonizing black criminals long before then.

#17 It's frightening how obsessed they are with nullifying Trump. Not just get him out, but completely erase the fact that he ever existed.

And erase us, too. That's who he's really after. The American people.

As Trump has said, "They're not after him, they're after us, he's just in the way."
