House Select Committee Hearings on Jan. 6 (1 Viewer)

[MT15]

Let’s put our discussion in this thread we can use it for all the hearings.

I'm still pissed at today's testimony. Can you imagine living like this...

Moss said she felt “helpless,” gained 60 pounds, and stopped giving out her business card because “I don’t want anyone knowing my name.” Her mother said she gets “nervous when I have to give food orders,” because someone who believes Trump’s lies might recognize her name. She said she felt “homeless” while she lived in hiding for two months, after the FBI told her she wasn’t safe at home.

“I have lost my sense of security, all because of a group of people, starting with (Trump) and his ally Rudy Giuliani, decided to scapegoat me, and my daughter, Shaye, to push lies about how the election was stolen,” Freeman said in a videotaped deposition, a clip of which was played during Tuesday’s hearing.

7 takeaways from the fourth day of the January 6 hearings

The latest hearing before the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection revealed new details Tuesday about how former President Donald Trump pressured state officials to help him overturn the 2020 presidential election.

The Arizona House speaker also described what his personal life has been like since the election. In emotional testimony, Bowers said that until "very recently," his family had begun to dread Saturdays, when Trump supporters would drive around his neighborhood and falsely announce that he was a "pedophile" and a corrupt politician. He recounted an argument between a neighbor and a man with a pistol, and also talked about the reactions of his family.

"At the same time, on some of these, we had a daughter who was gravely ill who was upset by what was happening outside and my wife, that is a valiant person, very strong, quiet, very strong woman," he said, growing emotional. "So it was disturbing." Bowers did not mention that in early 2021, his daughter died after her illness.

"The system held — but barely — and the question remains, will it hold again," committee member Rep. Adam Schiff said.

The only other sure fire way is for him to become worm food. But these days, some idiots would vote for him anyway.

Let’s make that a thing

If he does pass away before 2024 put it out there that he faked his death and DO NOT vote for the Republican presidential candidate but write in Donald Trump and on election night when he’s won he will reveal himself

On the off chance that he faked his death and still won? Nope, lol. But, I love the thought of writing him in. Instead of dead people voting as he loved to claim, it will be people voting for the dead guy.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I’m going to be furious if the DOJ doesn’t have a boatload of charges for everyone involved in this after all the hearings are said and done

…….Third, in the event the Justice Department decides not to prosecute Trump and his closest cronies, Attorney General Merrick Garland will be under tremendous pressure to justify why the mound of evidence is not enough.

Garland has vowed to ignore all politics, and his decision will inevitably involve whether he thinks a jury can find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

If anything, public expectations might be shifting such that a refusal to prosecute would seem shocking to most Americans……

Bruh... I just burst out laughing. Scared the cat into another room.

 

[wardorican]

If you're at work, it's because twitter is blocked.

Except they won't be. An R legislature has no more power than a D legislature.
What'll fix it faster than anything is a crushing defeat for Russia and a shallow grave for Putin.
Russia will be pumping every drop of oil and shipping every ounce of fertilizer/wheat/everything as fast as they possibly can. Collapsing prices be damned.

But the GOP campaign ads will certainly say otherwise

Trump team didn't have the evidence and 4 other takeaways from the Jan. 6 hearing

There were a number of eye-opening findings in the Jan. 6 committee's fourth hearing that showed the depth and breadth of Trump and his allies' pressure on local and state officials.

www.npr.org

From the above article:

"Cheney implored people watching at home to "focus on the evidence. Don't be distracted by politics. This is serious. We can't allow America to become a nation of conspiracies and thug violence."

But there's little evidence any of this will change most conservatives' minds. Trump supporters have long been selling themselves a narrative of Trump that they have internalized. That has become nearly impossible to pierce, especially with facts.

Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling got to this point well. He noted that he argued with family members who were believing what Trump was telling them about a stolen election that wasn't.

"The problem you have is you're getting into people's hearts," Sterling said.

He relayed a story about a lawyer he knew sympathetic to Trump. Sterling took him through allegations they investigated and showed him, one by one, that they didn't stand up to scrutiny.

"I just know in my heart that they cheated," Sterling said was the lawyer's response. "And so, once you get past the heart, the facts don't matter as much."

When facts don't matter, that's a scary place to be."


Yes, we're in a scary place.
