If you look closely at the people in the back many have their hands over their hearts just like Americans do during the Pledge of Allegiance.
Just like the astronauts said all those years ago we have a problem and I will add it’s a biggie.

I will add this to the growing problem we have. Three committees chairs in the House are looking into creating and passing a law that would strip the authority of local or state prosecutors to investigate/indict an ex-president. In the article it says a sitting President and an ex-president but we know they are doing this to protect trump.
What they Jordon and company want is the information the NY DA has on trump. The NY DA basically gave them the figure when Jordan sent a letter demanding the information. The reason they want this information want to “review” to decide if any legislation is necessary
Yes I know any type of legislation like this is dead because of the very thin Democratic majority in the Senate and a Democrat president. And it’s a ploy by Jordan & company to get ahold of what the NY DA has on trump.
But after this country elected the “you’re fired” guy as president instead an extremely qualified woman I’ve come to believe anything is possible. Especially when people are not paying attention.

Jen Psaki said it well. Zing..... On Sunday morning, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki served notice to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) that he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on as he tries to keep Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg from investigating Donald Trump.*** "I'm not freaking out about what [House Speaker] Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) or Jim Jordan are up to because I'm not sure they really thought all of this through," the smiling Psaki began. "For one, these Republicans have gone out on a limb -- way out, way out on a limb. To start with they are defending Trump before they even know what charges he might face." "From a legal perspective, experts point out that Jim Jordan and his colleagues are overestimating their power including my guest [former AG Eric Holder I just had on, the former attorney general of the United States. The former counsel to the House Judiciary Committee also pointed out this week that Congress cannot lawfully use its investigative power to engage in law enforcement. Even if they resorted to a subpoena, he also wrote, any such subpoenas should be unenforceable." *** ......"Again, when it comes to these attacks on Alvin Bragg, House Republicans are not only on pretty shaky legal ground, they also haven't shown themselves to be the most competent of investigators. There is no Sherlock Homes in the group here that we can see."www.rawstory.com/jim-jordan-alvin-bragg/

There are so many layers of this that are scary. High up on the top of the list is that a racist cult leader managed to gain so much power. And he is a cult leader. Just look at his supporters.

There is no pro-January 6 anthem. The prisoners are singing the Star Spangled Banner with inserts of Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Not a single word is changed and it doesn’t promote or glorify what occurred on Jan 6. Just because you don’t like the people signing it doesn’t make it a pro-insurrection anthem.

The people in the choir are in prison for their actions on Jan 6. They refer to themselves as the J6 choir. The music played to a video with images of the insurrection. I don't understand how you can honestly say that is not pro-insurrection and does not glorify violence. If you believe that, then the Republican campaign to re-write history has been successful. Trump has repeatedly said that if he's re-elected he will pardon anyone charged with J6 crimes. thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3918877-trump-opens-campaign-rally-with-song-featuring-jan-6-defendants/The song, called “Justice For All,” features the defendants, who call themselves the “J6 Choir,” singing a version of the national anthem and includes Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance over the track. Trump stood with his hand over his heart as the song played and as images from the Capitol riot, in which Trump supporters stormed the complex to overturn the 2020 election, played on a screen.
www.nytimes.com/2023/03/25/us/politics/trump-waco-texas-speech.htmlThe rally featured one new twist: the playing of “Justice for All,” a song featuring the J6 Prison Choir, which is made up of men who were imprisoned for their part in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
The song, which topped some iTunes download charts, is part of a broader attempt by Mr. Trump and his allies to reframe the riot and the effort to overturn the election as patriotic. The track features the men singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” while Mr. Trump recites the Pledge of Allegiance.

I agree, for the most part. HOWEVER --- including the video of Jan 6 is what made it inappropriate for me. If it were just Trump speaking the pledge during the National Anthem? Ok. Not a fan, but don't think it's entirely inappropriate even if I dont like it. But with the video playing? Nope. Not ok.

They included video from January 6th though. They knew damn well what they were doing. If they just wanted to sing the Star Spangled Banner, they could have done that without including the footage of them committing a crime against the United States.

Let’s not be disingenuous. It’s being sung by men currently jailed for their part in the insurrection, and overlaid on video of that insurrection. How can that not be promoting and glorifying what happened in January 6?

The song that was sung at the rally is called “Justice for All”.
It is a song that is being sold under the name of “Justice for All” and not as the “Star Spangled Banner.”
By adding trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance they changed the original/accepted version of the song Star Spangled Banner aka as our National Anthem.
Therefore they all stood around with their hands over their hearts for a song that is not the United States National Anthem.
A song that was sung by a bunch of men that attacked the Capital with the intention of stopping the certification of an election and potentially hanging the Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. These men beat the shit out of the Capital Police while breaking into the Capital. Some men used flag poles with the Stars and Stripes flying from the poles to beat some members of the Capital Police.
Real Americans do not stand with their hands over their hearts for a song sung by men like the J6 who attacked our democracy.

I thought he was trying to claim it was just a bunch of tourists. Showing violence to his supporters kind of proves he knows better and they should to.
He is obviously all for this violence and hoping for more of it. Kind of hard to claim innocent after this. This truly has become a cult.

I live in the Ohio-4 district, home of Gym Jordan. The only reason he stays in power is due to gerrymandering. Ohio voters voted in an amendment to the Ohio Constitution by an 71% yes vote about fair district maps. The Republican Ohio redistricting committee of which Gov. Dewine is a voting member sent different versions of the same to the Ohio Supreme Court, who ruled each version as unfair and sent it back. Oh and our Governor’s brother serves on the Ohio Supreme Court and did not recuse himself. www.redistricting.ohio.gov/ www.fairdistrictsohio.org/projects-3

I love how people who were up in arms about people kneeling during the national anthem are now ok with Trump and his cult altering the flag and now the national anthem.

The sad irony of it all is that this rally in Waco landed on the 30th Anniversary of the Branch Davidian siege that left 70+ died (including kids).

Thousands, but many were leaving by 30 minutes in... *** According to the Tribune-Herald's report, police stated there were no problems with protesters or violent incidents and that campaign estimates of 15,000 attending sounded about right. However, the report notes that even after having to stand in long lines for hours to get in, the crowd grew perceptibly smaller not long after the rally started. *** "About 30 minutes into the rally, the crowd began to thin, with people getting a head start on the walk back to the parking lots, designated and otherwise," he wrote. www.rawstory.com/trump-waco-2659656624/

heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-26-2023?r=1f0orz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=emailAnd the danger to democracy at home was crystal clear last night, as former president Trump held a rally in Waco, Texas, where in 1993 a 51-day government siege of the headquarters of a religious cult gave birth to the modern anti-government militia movement. Since then, Waco has been a touchstone for violent attacks on the government. There, last night, Trump stood on stage with his hand over his heart while loudspeakers played not the national anthem but a song recorded by January 6 insurrectionists. Footage from the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol played on a screen behind him.

Here’s a picture of the crowd. While there is a crowd, it’s by no means filled to capacity. Not sure if this was taken before or after folks started to leave early.
