ReTHUGs did not want a 9/11 type Inquiry into Jan 6 and why on tape Kevin tried to sabotage the Jan 6 Committee with members who were part of the failed coup from the beginning.
Truth will out,
Those who were trying to deliver a six for a nine will be exposed starting on 6/9.
The start date is perfect.
That is all for now.

(22,037 posts)Will enough Americans understand the truth of what Trump and the Republicans tried to do and care?
I hope so but I'm beyond concerned. The future of the U.S. is murky and the ascendence of the Hard Right is terrifying.
I'm glad we have legal weed in New York!
Im very hopeful

(36,829 posts)The Party of BENGHAZI doesn't want us to investigate the insurrection? Is this real life?
Why would the republicans not want an investigation?
Who was in the Jan 06 insurrection/riot smearing poop on the walls of Congress, attacking police, seeking Mike Pence for execution, and vandalizing the Capitol Bldg?
The ONLY proof you need that Antifa had nothing to do with January 6th is the Republicans' refusal to form a commission to investigate it.

(32,645 posts)The Repuke's "antifa" blaming is so patently stupid. Just as you say.
It's all going to be crystal clear, very soon.

dont claim Antifa was trying to overturn the election. They claim Antifa was trying to make it look like all those god fearing, patriotic, law enforcement respecting rally-goers were trying to overturn the election. IOW, they believe it was a false flag operation.
Its still a quite stupid irrationalization, but it makes sense to them.

the right wing media will not cover it. It could change some
minds for the sane swing voters.

No, it won't make a difference to the crowd that is waiting for JFK Jr. and Princess Di to appear. But they are less than 30% of the voters.
And proving, on national, Primetime TV, that the J6 attack on the Capitol wasn't just an enthusiastic rally that got out of hand, but was a cold-blooded, calculated insurrection that was planned and coordinated by traitorous members of Congress, high-ranking Whitehouse officials, white nationalist groups, and of course the Mighty Orange Turd himself.

(4,461 posts)RFK and Princess Di and Elvis, maybe even the Great Pumpkin (etc ) impersonators to show up at their next watch party and then tell them to turn on the republicans? I mean, they have to be pretty stupid to begin with, right? How hard would it be to fool them?

(16,426 posts)They're batcrap crazy and will never be convinced to turn against their dear leader. But they're also a minority, and probably a smaller minority than we realize. I believe that these hearings have the potential to make a huge impact on those who aren't blind Trump worshippers.
I lived through Watergate, and what I remember most is how the country's attention was absolutely riveted to what was happening in those hearings. There's a lot more competition for people's attention these days, but I have a feeling stuff is going to come out that will grab people's attention in a similar way.
Most of all, I just don't see the point of giving up on something before it even gets started. I really, really, really don't. If I end up getting disapointed, I'll deal with that when the the time comes. As I said here at DU last week:
I can live with disappointment, but I can't survive without hope.

The 2022 election will be rife with corruption with Magats in positions of certifying election results.

(6,833 posts)It's the role of the director and the stars that everyone wants to see uncovered. The audience remains to be convinced. That is in the hands of the producers.

(16,426 posts)The members of that committee are NOT stupid or incompetent. They know exactly what they're doing, and I know they are planning this out carefully. I firmly believe that they're going to Kay the whole thing out, all the way up to the top.
If I end up getting disappointed, I'll survive. I've had plenty of experience doing exactly that in my 72 years on this planet. But I absolutely, unequivocally REFUSE to give up hope. Whether to hooe or not is a decision each of us has to make for ourselves. I will never criticize anyone for not being hopeful, but some of us feel otherwise, and the Eeyores of the world need to respect that and understand that no one has the right to tell us that we have to feel the way they do. (Not tytvanyone has to.d me that in so many words, but it sure feels like that sometimes.)

was for the stashed weapons found after the seditionists were cleared from the Capitol. When and where were they supposed to be used and against whom? Who supplied them, whose idea was it to bring them, and who was designated to supervise the use of them?

Only Fux thinks otherwise.
Better question - why isnt Jareds Saudi deal a huge scandal?
