    Jan 6th Capitol Attack Hearings

    The hearings have just started, live on CNN, CBS News, etc.

    If you tune into Fox you can hear Tucker spitting feathers and saying it's all a waste of time and no-one did anything wrong except the Capitol police, etc.

    ...so many interesting tidbits to comb from the coverage: the Republican legislators who sought pardons from tRump is a gem...

    ...from a Charles Pierce tweet: Liz Cheney is simply out for blood here, pure-bred political lizard brain on display. It's a wonder.

    You're going to see a lot of knuckle draggers going after witnesses on social media.

    January 6 committee hearings

    About time.
    Here's a never before seen compilation of video presented to the committee.



    What gets me is why the defending force never opened a shitstorm of gunfire on these assholes.

    No idea, I've wondered about that myself.

    I've also wondered why the Capitol police seemed so underresourced and generally unprepared.

    Anyway in my opinion it seems best to leave this behind and move on. America is desperate for leadership.

    Amazing. By leave behind you mean ignore or pretend it never happened. Do you really think the country can move forward in that manner?

    Yes, let's pretend it's insignificant so they can do it all again in 2025.

    So we have remembered the incident and now time to move on.

    If America is so weak after 300 years that a couple of hundred of retards participating in a riot at the capital is going to topple the government then serious questions need to be asked. I personally am embarrased by the behaviour of the silly buggers. I'd throw the book at anybody who actually entered the capitol.

    Let's have the next hearing as to why the capital authorities including the police so under resourced the security forces on the ground that day. There is no excuse to explain this other than there was a deliberate effort by the parties in control to make the Republicans look bad. And let's not even talk about that idiot Trump, I hope to hell he doesn't run for anything ever again.

    Anyway, just saying guys.
    A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.

    If there is no accountability, what is there to prevent others from behaving similarly?

    You're a rambling old fool at the best of times, but this is pathetic nonsense even by your admittedly poor standards.

    ...I would disagree with the 2 Republicans on the committee, both of whom supported free access to weapons of war, the NRA, past tRump policies and a number of backward-looking legislative proposals...that fact that they've broken with tRump is approximately 1% of the way back to redemption in my view...

    I enjoyed it, Ole Liz didn't mince a single word in her introduction to the proceedings. I gotta give her credit for letting her principles in this case rule her actions. Her statement about trump will be gone one day but your dishonor will stay with you to her fellow repubs almost sealed her chance at not being reelected.
