My "Actual death stare" has been breaking stupid criminals (attorneys too) better than any assessment measure that I have ever found or used for two+ decades now, and I would venture to say that is not even the teeny tiniest surprise to you.

Do you use the glasses to emphasize the death stare —sometimes I do because I can’t burst out within OMFG WTFINGF are you doing. So weaponizing the death stare is perfectly acceptable <snort>

I agree with you 100%. Actions have consequences and these seditious traitors must pay for their actions.

I. WANT. Lots. And. Lots. Of perp walks. I also want lots and lots of public hearings. The American people have the right to know exactly what Trump & his sycophants tried to pull off —because we can never let Jan6th 2021 to ever happen again. Our duty is to protect our Democracy and then hand that gift to the next generation. I also want to see the humiliation that Donald Trump deserves.

Lovely sentiment from your former mentor ♥️… also I would be highly qualified to stare down lawmakers please let me know where I can drop off a resume. 🤣♥️ Thanks Filey!

Yes honey oh YES it’s an exquisite art-form. I didn’t even need to utter a single word during this mornings hearing. I just sat there pretending to take diligent notes (I was actually just doodling) I made eye contact with [redacted] and each time I gave him a death stare —he’s the one who broke eye contact first <snort> which means he knows why I sat in the gallery… I was asserting my dominance without having to bark or hump him😂🤣😂

..dude thought he could sneak in amended language and he thought I wouldn’t notice. You ding dong, I was alerted by the legislative tracking system, <5 seconds after he filed it.

After the hearing he headed to the elevator bank and I purposefully closed the elevator doors — one of my coworkers was like - you are absolutely terrifying and he’s scared of you…

I read your first two sentences in Dame Julie Andrews voice (from my current Bridgerton obsession) and it made me v excite.

“cut Trump off or continue embracing his dangerous rhetoric and you’ll pay a price at the ballot box. Enjoy being the minority party.“ Filey do you believe Dems can keep the majority? 😕

Excellent question - please excuse the brevity of my response (I have 25 minutes before my next meeting.

YES I DO and here’s why, my educated guess is the Select Committee will issue its preliminary findings in late Q3 (like June 2022) shortly thereafter (my guess is 5-7 weeks later) the Select Committee will release their finally report (in late Sept or early Oct) again that’s speculation on my end, so I won’t be offend if folks are skeptical of my timeline. I can only guess as to the Select Committee’s findings but I know (with every ounce of my being) the report will be;

ABSOLUTE DEVASTATING TO THE RNC

And the ongoing power struggle between Mitch & Trump its coming to a head and if the RNC was smart they would uncouple themselves from Trump & his deranged supporters (many of whom are now running for local Govt positions) that can almost unilaterally effectuate anti-democratic actions, should 2024 go sideways for Trump. That is something I don’t think we as a Country can survive. In short the RNC needs to pull their heads out and expel the Trump-QANON crazies in the party, otherwise they will pay a hefty price at the ballot box. Hope Springs Eternal, right?

If they can adhere to the KISS rule

(keep it simple stupid) get simple bullet points out of what they have accomplished, what future goals are, as a United front (looking at u Man$hin and $inema) and saturate the television, radio, stream, podcast the shit out of it, just like they did but her emails (NYT evil stare at you), they should be able to hold on, even win a few seats in. Senate just enough to make those two irrelevant. Go dirty, foot on the throat Dems and DO NOT LET UP. Next, balance the courts codify Roe and fucking pass the ERA already.

BIG proponent of the KISS principle. My students hear it often 👍

I am thanking Rick Wilson for this line "fuck around and find out" and Andrew Laufer for "you're going to prision, traitor." In this case seditors. I am salivating. The HJ6C are not asking these questions and issuing subpoenas if they dont already have the answers because THEY ALREADY HAVE THE ANSWERS. Think of what is not public yet. When the hearings do go public the RNC will be rattling around in its slimy death rolls. AND THE COMMITTEE IS NOT DONE YET. KNIVES OUT

Please hold as I need to get my wet stone out. I’m not kidding when I’m mad I pull that stone out and sharpen my knives. This habit of mine use to unnerve my spouse because me and sharp knives are like peas and carrots. They just go together.

And you are 100% correct, in my industry we do not ask questions that we don’t already have the answer(s) to. I genuinely like the exhaustive and pragmatic approach by the Select Committee. My guess is their report will be one of the most thorough finding of facts and I (like many of you) eagerly await the Select Committee’s forthcoming publication.

I don’t think, we the General Public are seeing the tip of the Iceberg, we are seeing the tiny -oh so-tiny tippy top of the tip of the Iceberg…and frankly that brings me a lot of joy. Also Rick Wilson is a scholar and gentleman and I admire his chutzpah, a lot

If this is the tiny tip (ew)… then I am terrified to know what kind of full court press these a holes stewed up. May Justice prevail ..

Crazy busy myself so I just glanced over this. Can't wait to read it all at a quiet moment. Glad you are doing well, hope you are not overdoing it—sounds like you are working 24/7! Take good care and thank you for all this wholesome information. It is truly appreciated!! Have a good day!

We have a similar super power. I can shut down a classroom of rowdy teens with one look 🤣

It's so gratifying to read about these traitors being rounded up and made to testify.

lol...yes, if I know there is a chance I am either going to swear or giggle snort....or BOTH, I might use the glass and 'SUPER' casual-like, NEVER! break the glare, but lift the top of my sweater to cover just my lips and get the giggles out.
