Looking back four years...

June 29, 2026

Bit under the weather but for fun, here’s what was going on four years ago. This post is June 29, 2022, and you tell me if things have changed or not.

So yesterday’s Jan 6 hearings were quite entertaining. And the fact that the witness had to hold back laughter at times just was the cherry on top of the shit sundae.

Thanks to Cassidy Hutchinson, who was an aide to former WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, we have eyewitness accounts of the shenanigans behind the scenes before, during and after the Insurrectile Dysfunction of Jan. 6, 2021. And to let you know how bad it was, even Faux News anchors were stunned into silence. Seriously. Motherfuckers were just silent on the air.

You can get a better summary elsewhere (someone on Twitter said “Man, ketchup, car, steering wheel, throat”), but here are some of the revelations that I particularly enjoyed. And there are quite a few times when Hutchinson is holding back laughter, so I think she needs to be an honorary Petty Bitch. We’ll name her Petty LaBelle.

For one, Orange Foolius was angry about the size of the crowd at his rally that day, so he ordered security to remove the metal detectors. When told that the crowd was armed, our profane president said “I don’t fucking care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags [metal detectors] away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.” It’s all about optics with our Tiny-dicked Tweedledum, and he wanted lots of people in the pictures of the “rally”.

He let armed supporters—and he knew they were armed—march to the Capitol. That’s a pretty big bombshell. He planned this, he knew how it would go down, and he didn’t care how many people died, as long as his ego was stroked in the fashion he wished. He let people die, because of his selfishness. And we unleashed this monster.

After Tiny-dick Tweedledum spoke at the rally, he was driven away in the Beast by the Secret Service, back towards the White House. But Tiny-dick wanted to go to the Capitol instead because the plan had been that he do so after his speechifying. White House counsel warned Tiny-dick that doing so could be construed as obstruction of justice and defrauding the electora count.

Take a second to dig it: He wanted to lead an armed insurrection into the Capitol. I guess he was thinking it would make him look tough leading all those losers into the halls of democracy like Moses parting the Red Sea. Ten Commandments shit. When the driver demurred, he put his oddly tiny hand on the steering wheel and tried to steer it towards Capitol Hill, I guess from the back seat. The driver protested, saying no, we can’t take you to the Capitol because it’s not safe.

Tiny-dick started yelling “I’m the fucking president. Take me to the Capitol now!” but again, the driver refused, at which point Tiny-dick put his tiny hands on the agent. The agent caught his arm and told him to knock it off, after which Tiny-dick apparently attempted to strangle him. Strangle him! He had a monumental temper tantrum right there in Beast and tried to strangle a Secret Service agent. The person who would take a bullet for this utter waste of space and oxygen. The committee has talked to the Secret Service agent but his testimony hasn’t been released.

Yet, despite the seriousness of his actions, I keep picturing a good old Alexis-and-Krystle-Carrington bitch fight in the cement pond.

The temper tantrums continued in the White House, where Tangerine Toddler threw his lunch against the wall because he was so upset they wouldn’t take him to the Capitol. Hutchinson testified that there was ketchup running down the wall after one earlier tantrum after Bill Barr’s interview with the AP. Of course he eats ketchup. It’s pure sugar and you know kids love sugar. Ketchup is gross and don’t come for me. Keep your condiments to yourself.

Throwing his lunch and flipping tables was not uncommon behavior with the president-reject, either, and are any of us surprised?

After the attack on the Capitol, both Mark Meadows and Rudy Guiliani (who has turned making an ass of one’s self into an Olympic sport) asked Tiny-dick Tweedledum for pardons.

And if you needed proof that Cassidy Hutchinson is telling the truth, Tiny-dick is freaking out on Truth Social, as per usual when someone tells the truth about him.

Dig this track from the album of his greatest hits: “I hardly know who this person, Cassidy Hutchinson, is, other than I heard very negative things about her (a total phony and ‘leaker’), and when she requested to go with certain others of the team to Florida after my having served a full term in office, I personally turned her request down. Why did she want to go with us if she felt we were so terrible? I understand that she was very upset and angry that I didn’t want her to go, or be a member of the team. She is bad news!”

Doesn’t matter if he knew her. She saw what she saw and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t refute her. He does his usual schtick of attacking her character, but everyone sees through this now. His word carries no weight anymore, and I hope like hell it’s killing him.

Hutchinson also shared new information about another presidential dining room scene, this one from Jan. 6, when she overheard Trump, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone discussing the chants at the Capitol to “Hang Mike Pence.”

Hutchinson had entered the dining room to connect Meadows with Rep. Gym Jordan (R-OH) some time after 2 p.m.

Shortly after Meadows and Cipollone left the dining room, Trump sent out the tweet at 2:24 p.m. that read “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify.”

When Cipollone implored Meadows to get Trump to try to stop the violence, Hutchinson testified that Meadows responded: “You heard it, Pat. He thinks Mike deserves it. He doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong.”

When aides finally convinced Trump to put out a video to try to dampen the violence—a video in which Trump ultimately told the rioters “go home, we love you”—Hutchinson testified that Trump was “reluctant” to record a video.

This man had access to nuclear weapons. Think about that, and think how close we might have come to war. I don’t think we’ll ever know how close, because I don’t see that becoming public knowledge.

And why did Mark Meadows seek a pardon? On January 2, Hutchinson asked Meadows about the plan to march to the Capitol on January 6, after Rudy Guiliani told her about it. She testified that Meadows said “There’s a lot going on, Cass. But I don’t know. Things might get real, real bad on January 6th.”

Some Repugs are dismissing Hutchinson’s testimony as hearsay, but it’s not, according to a law professor. For one, Hutchinson is testifying as to conversations that she herself participated in. And party admissions are an exception to hearsay. And, as Steve Vladeck said on Twitter: “She’s testifying under oath and under penalty of perjury; you’re just whining under neither.” (another Petty Bitch! I live.) Hearsay also goes towards whether evidence can be submitted in court. She’s testifying to Congress.

Don’t forget the witness tampering. After Hutchinson’s testimony blew the lid off, Cheney read from messages that two Tiny-dick insiders had gotten, regarding testimony.

“What they said to me, as long as I continue to be a team player, they know I’m on the team, I’m doing the right thing, I’m protecting who I need to protect, you know, I’ll continue to stay in good graces in Trump World. They have reminded me a couple of time that Trump does read transcripts and just to keep that in mind as I proceeded through my depositions and interviews with the committee.”

And another: “[A person] let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. He wants me to let you know that he’s thinking about you. He knows you’re loyal, and you’re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition.”

Stop and let this roll around in your brain: The President of the United States had a tantrum because he couldn’t lead a crowd of armed insurrectionists into the Capitol, the purpose of which was to stop the election count by force, because it didn’t go his way.

The President of the United States committed treason. A person who commits treason is a traitor. He tried to overthrow the government, like some banana republic, and he will not face any consequences, except for damage to his reputation (which, for a creature like him, is the worst of all).

The President of the United States is a seditionist. Wonder if RICO charges would apply here?

He did all these things, and has admitted as such, although not in so many words. But he’s too stupid to get away with these things, so I guess we should be thankful that half this country knowingly put a stupid, lying, morally bankrupt thug into the highest office in the land.

As Hutchinson said, “It was unpatriotic. It was un-American. We were watching the Capitol building get defaced over a lie.”

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.”

--Donald Trump, 2015

That’s all I have for you today, kittens.
