January 6th insurrection thread...

The whole thing is reminiscent of a show trial behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Even if everything they presented was unbiased and accurate, it loses credibility due to it's very nature. It's outrage programming intended to rile up the anti Trump base. I think they've overplayed their hand. Even my ultra lib in laws who normally watch CNN nonstop have long since turned it off because they're tired of hearing about Trump all the time.




Were you born yesterday? Even if you think this is a politically motivated witch hunt that is normal. Republicans have already stated they will investigate everything that moves after the mid terms. Absolutely none of their investigations will be because they genuinely care, it will all be an attempt to politically damage Biden and the Democrats. That's okay. It's nothing illegal, unconstitutional or unethical. That you people cry so much about a strategy your own side does is mind blowingly stupid.

So keep that Green New Deal away
 
I agree with this. The biggest problem I have with the recent “developments” is that it really doesn’t matter much. I don’t doubt for even a nanosecond that Trump was content to let the rioters do whatever. I’ve thought that from the beginning, because Trump is a narcissistic asshole. Nothing in this “bombshell” would be even remotely surprising to me, yet I still don’t see the point of rehashing all of this. If Trump, his team or his congressional supporters were materially involved, it’d be almost impossible to prove unless they can prove both that they helped organize the rally AND that the rally was a specific front to get supporters in the Capitol to disrupt the election process. Anything less than that is a waste of time, and that’s the almost certain conclusion. You’re not going to persuade anybody that doesn’t already dislike Trump that you should, and you don’t need to convince people that already disliked him. It’s somehow equally politically driven and politically ineffective in a way I can hardly comprehend.

Sure it’s a show trial, but I’m all for it. Let it go on for many months. Beats another run at Build Back Better or the Green New Deal.


It's not a trial. No one has been charged with a crime. There are no jurors. If anyone is charged with a crinevthen an actual trial will happen, unless they plead guilty.

Dog & pony show then. Point is I’m content with the government doing whatever this is. Much cheaper than most of the alternatives.
 
Why would people need a pardon from " dog and pony shows" ?

asking for a friend

side note:
can I tell you who didn't ask for a pardon but still testified for 11 hours
yep Biff, her
 
It will be interesting to see what the testimony under oath is.

Something to consider:

I'm not saying her testimony being disregarded bails Trump out. You can take it away and he still comes off terribly.

My point is that Hutchinson is getting praise heaped on her in the press because her story is the most inflammatory when it's also the least credible.

And I'd be shocked if they called the Secret Service agents. This isn't an investigation to get to the truth, it's political theater.
 
Everything that happens inside the Beltway is political theater.
Always has been always will

Dismissing or minimizing these hearings on those grounds is completely missing the point.

While at the same time stating the obvious
 
maybe we need 10 investigations and hearings into this like there was for Benghazi


which obviously wasn't a dog and pony show or anything
 
Remember when the sergeant of arms who suggested this was an inside job is now dead?

That Hutchison fake testimony sure got a.lot.of attention off that
 
Trump is apparently lined up to star in the next Fast and Furious franchise flick "DC DRIFT"

The Bee simply has great headlines. its like the onion, but even more satirical.
