Rep. Terri Sewell
An action item for Alabama Trump resisters is to go to Rep. Terri Sewell's email asking, "Do you agree with President Trump pardoning those convicted of crimes on January 6th, including those who assaulted police officers?" and clicking "NO" you do not agree. Rep. Sewell's email can be found at The Final Battle against Donald J. Trump: Rep. Terri ewell asking about Jan. 6th pardons. (Note: On Facebook I am putting links to this blog entry https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-january-6th-lawbreaker-president_65.html because Facebook would not allow links to The Final Battle against Donald J. Trump: Rep. Terri ewell asking about Jan. 6th pardons.)Forwarding Rep. Terri Sewell's email:
If you would like me to email to you Rep. Sewell's email so you can forward it to your friends and/or others, please email me (rdshatt@aol.com) your email address and I will send Rep. Sewell's email to you.
I have sent Rep. Sewell's email to my Alabama lawyer email list and to the Alabama State Bar Bench & Bar Relations Committee. Emails are posted at The Final Battle against Donald J. Trump: Rep. Terri Sewell email asking about Jan. 6th pardons. Also I have sent Rep. Sewell's email to my friends list.Recently, I reread Anne Applebaum’s 2020 Atlantic piece, “History Will Judge the Complicit,” which holds up even better today than when she wrote it. In the article, Applebaum explores why and how people with a smidgen of power will set aside their beliefs and principles for the sake of self-preservation.
You know, Lindsey Graham.
What struck me was a section in which she compares Trump’s lies about his 2016 inaugural crowd with a Soviet propaganda campaign to blame the U.S. for a potato famine.
“No one really believed the charge, including the people making it, as archives have subsequently shown,” she writes. “But that didn’t matter. The point of the posters was not to convince people of a falsehood. The point was to demonstrate the party’s power to proclaim and promulgate a falsehood. Sometimes the point isn’t to make people believe a lie—it’s to make people fear the liar.”
Something like that is happening again but about a different crowd.
When officials such as Tommy Tuberville argue that police weren’t viciously attacked on January 6, they aren’t trying to persuade us. They are trying to put us in our place. They are telling us the truth doesn’t matter anymore and we should just accept that.
Nice try, Waterboy, but no thank you.
