    Ooooooo

    Lemme tell you about Blackjack Smith,
    Shooting straight law, dealing justice,
    Rode to DC to solve an itch
    To jail a traitorous orange bitch

    They thought a Cannon would save the lump
    that ripped off America in the name of Trump
    but her blast of bullshit couldn’t delay
    the Sword of Damocles coming down on its prey

    Blackjack laughed as he held the cards
    There was no need to bluff with these retards
    Georgia was lookin’ jealous of DC
    And pretty soon there would be indictments three

    Ivanka’s shaken and Jared’s pale
    The Saudis can’t hide them from Donnie’s fail
    Giuliani’s squawking, Meadows is talking
    O big daddy Trump, you’re going to jail

    Chorus

    Ohh, keep on indictin’, Mr. Blackjack Smith
    The GOP is rolling in a mess of traitor shit
    The Union looks to you to set the record straight
    And purge the Presidency of Donald’s hate

    Okay, so he’ll be indicted in D.C., which means he’ll have to run with that shadow looming over him, but how dark of a shadow is it really? He didn’t participate in the riot, didn’t give any specific orders to the rioters to riot, much less invade the Capitol building. His actual words were vague enough that I’m not seeing how this case stands any chance of an actual conviction. And if the trial actually ends up happening before Election Day next year, his acquittal will actually wind up helping him, no?

      Huh, interesting take. From where I’m coming from, the fact that a ton of Trump supporters ended up flying to DC from all over the country in order to be present for a Trump rally on the day that they certified election results is enough evidence for me. They didn’t go to DC as a result of some freaky coincidence. They went there to hear him speak, at what was commonly referred to as a rally (and he’s still cool with calling them rallys). The person that lost an election 2 months ago is no longer campaigning at that point. What was the purpose of hosting, and speaking at a rally, that just so happened to be in DC?

      The term rally has many definitions including:

      “ to muster for a common purpose”

      “ to arouse for action”

      “ a renewed offensive”

      These words didn’t do it for you? https://youtu.be/5fiT6c0MQ58
