NC_Tiger_: I understand your position and I don't disagree. But I don't know whether the Justice Dept. will want to take that case, for a variety of reasons which we can get into.

The reason to have the hearings regardless of criminal prosecution is to prevent this from happening again. Now, maybe getting widespread testimony from eye-witnesses, establishing video and documentary evidence, publicizing all of it and creating a historical record won't be enough to stop Trump (or whoever the next Trumpish person is) from ignoring the rule of law. Maybe it requires the criminal conviction of a former president (i.e., Lock Him Up!). But if it does anything to deter and prevent the next attack on our democracy, I'm in favor of it.

Low ratings for the hearings reflect the good news that most Americans are smart enough to recognize obvious propaganda when it's being shoved at them.

the hearings were propaganda.

For that to be the case, then the testimony of witnesses would have to be false or misleading or being some spun in some fashion.

Please give some examples of false or misleading testimony by the Republican officials that testified or how that direct testimony is being spun somehow.

Also, FWIW, the co-chair of the committee is a Republican, formerly in the House GOP Leadership.

cheerleading, it was correcting a fallacy. There are 2 republicans on the committee. Now...you not liking their stance on Trump's actions post-election doesn't mean they're not republicans.

And he didn't "nail" anything. His points are as void of substance as yours are. He said the hearings were propaganda. He ought to be able to back that up with some examples.

How about you? What did you already know from the testimony and what is it (you said see it for what it is)? Are the republicans testifying lying? That's a simple question. Who is lying and about what?

Re: LOL...ok***


Jun 22, 2022, 6:23 PM

One thing T3 and the others keep missing is, these "hearings" are a history, an accounting, an official public record. The fact that they are going unchallenged and Trump and his minions aren't challenging them on any of the particulars is incredibly damaging...and it's going to be even more so when they start facing criminal charges.

All of this testimony that has been made public - and undoubtedly reams that hasn't - is evidence.

It's not just the "court of public opinion" Trump has to worry about here. It's an actual courtroom. There, the current strategy of rightwing media and MAGA partisans - which is to just making farting noises and dismiss everything with a wave of the hand without listening to a bit of it - is just not going to play...and the facts that are presented look really bad for those involved.

On a side note, former Dem big wheel Andrew Gillum of Florida just got hit with fundraising fraud charges that could be a pretty much exact preview of what Trump's about to get hit with in regards to his own 1/6 fundraising - that the funds raised were not used for their stated purpose. I have some doubt the timing is coincidental.

you call Cheney and Kinzinger "anti-Trump".

Were they anti-Trump prior to the 2020 election?

I freely admit I was. But I sure don't think they were. So are they "anti-Trump" or just anti what Trump did and said after he lost the election?

Both Cheney and Kinzinger voted for Trump and supported him in the election.

Neither one of them voted for impeachment in the 1st/Ukraine impeachment, right?

40 Million have watched so far with 2 more to go. Daytime


Jun 21, 2022, 2:48 PM

hearings are averaging 10 Million after 20 million in prime time the first night. The last hearing may likely have higher viewership, but who knows. So, roughly 60 million will end up watching.

60 million viewers. That number excludes the large number of people who are viewing news reports, dvr's, and all types of media coverage post hearing.

1 in 10 Republicans felt Trump should face criminal prosecution before the hearings. That number doubled to 1 in 5 by Friday.

58% of Americans said last Friday and Saturday that Trump should face criminal prosecution, up from 52% in April. 60% feel the committee is "conducting a fair and impartial investigation" up 50% since April.

In 2000, George Bush won the election due to just 540 votes in Florida.

In 2016 Trump won Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, and thus the election, by 79,646 votes.

In 2020, just 44,000 votes in Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin prevented a Biden-Trump electoral college tie.

Where or when did Trump tell the J6 protestors to resort to violence?

You know that nothing of the sort ever happened, but on and on and on the J6 hyperbole crowd goes.

There were 120,000 protesters at J6; thus far (17 months later), there have been ~ 800 arrests.

That's ~ 0.7% ... i.e., less than 1% for those J6 junkies who struggle with math.

Some of those who were arrested did not do any violent acts, didn't break and enter, anything like that. Instead, some of the people who wore clown suits and made fools of themselves have been imprisoned.

No shizz. That's what happened.

Never seen so many brain-washed fools as the hysterically ignorant J6 screamers.

Gotta admit, the hearings are one hell of a pre-midterms diversionary production.

Look at all this effort; maybe getting some short term results.

Those short term results will melt away as inflation keeps rising, the economy keeps slowing, and job numbers start to fall.
