I'm so fucking ready for Thursday.

[mobeau69]

That is all.

[Novara]

1. Move over on that bench and make room for me. I'm right there with you.

[Polybius]

What's Thursday?

[applegrove]

4. House Select Committee on Jan 6 hearings.

[J_William_Ryan]

3. Not to be a wet blanket, but

I doubt the needle will move, regardless the revelations.

[SoCalDavidS]

12. I Tend To Agree

And even if it does move the needle, there will be ZERO Consequences or Accountability for anybody implicated.

ZERO, ZILCH, NONE.

But lots of stuff for the news channels to talk about ad nauseam, and people on DU to get all excited over.

[BlackSkimmer]

18. Gotta agree with you.

And having these hearings in the first summer after covid? Wow.

[electric_blue68]

31. There's still some chance of it ...

I will NOT give up Hope!

[Bev54]

22. They are trying to get to those people who do not vote but hopefully will

change their minds when they see the real republican party.

[homegirl]

24. YOU

called it. Get out and vote- kick these fascist traitors to the curb!!!

[Eliot Rosewater]

44. If those people dont respond to this, then they will respond to nothing and they will

have sentenced us to death.

[electric_blue68]

29. Don't really agree...

Imho:

1) There'll be some who'll pay attention for the first time.

2) Others who've paid a bit of attention might a] pay more, b] even become glued to the TV

3) Those of us already engaged and angry will probably get some more angry for GOTV, and seeking out organizations that still might be able to diminish, or even nuetralize Repuglicans' further efforts at skewing the '22 (and '24) Vote.


NOT Ready to give up Hope!

[towerbum]

36. totally disagree! we don't know crap about what they got !

[Novara]

5. Here's a little bit of info:

Jan. 6 panel promises 'previously unseen material' in prime-time hearing on June 9

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol released an official notice that it will hold the first hearing on what it has found so far about the deadly siege on Thursday, June 9 in prime time at 8 p.m. ET.

In the notice made late on Thursday, the panel also said witnesses for the hearing would be announced next week.

At the hearing, the panel will "present previously unseen material documenting January 6th, receive witness testimony, preview additional hearings, and provide the American people a summary of its findings about the coordinated, multi-step effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and prevent the transfer of power," it said.

This will be the first public hearing held by the committee in nearly a year. During the last hearing, in July, four police officers gave graphic accounts of the physical and verbal assaults they endured while protecting the Capitol and the lawmakers who had gathered on Jan. 6, 2021, to count and certify states' electoral votes from the 2020 election. Over 100 law enforcement officers were injured and several people died after pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol to overturn the election results.

Altogether, the panel is expected to hold about a half dozen public hearings in June and release a report on its findings in September. Committee members say the hearings will provide a narrative for what led up to the attack, who helped organize and fund some of the outside groups promoting false claims that Joe Biden did not rightfully win the election, and what then President Trump was doing behind the scenes around the time of the violent insurrection.

[AntivaxHunters]

6. I am too.

I think a lot of us just really need to see, watch, & hear it all.
It's been a long time coming......

[Novara]

7. It has been a long time coming. And people need to be reminded ...

... that this is the most serious crime against the country in American history. Never before has the loser of a presidential election plotted to overthrow his legally-elected successor. People need to be reminded how serious it is.

[mobeau69]

9. Spot on. Hope it wakes some people up. It better, if it's not too late.

[malaise]

8. Yeah!

Rec

[paleotn]

10. So am I....

My gut is saying...please Dems, don't fuck it up.

[mobeau69]

13. I have complete confidence in the committee. Thompson and Cheney got this!

[MyOwnPeace]

14. I agree......

Too many 'good people in government' realize how critical this is - they will NOT let the moment pass....

[paleotn]

27. Thanks!!

[fightforfreedom]

11. So am I, the traitors will be completely exposed.

It will take control of the news cycle and I hope the news media does their job, calling for people to be held accountable and not letting up. The evidence the committee is going to present is going to show very serious crimes were committed. Our democracy was put in great peril. Hopefully the news media across the country will demand action. This is an historic moment. One that will decide the future of our country. The news media needs to treat it that way.

[BlackSkimmer]

20. Lol, I do love your optimism.

Stay tuned.

[Bones1]

15. Thursday

I have hope and am ready also ! Let the games begin ! 🤔

[electric_blue68]

32. Welcome as a poster (I'm almost 2 yrs in). 👍

[Bones1]

42. Thanks

✌️

[Samrob]

16. I hope that it will be all that we want it to be.

The build up is scary.

21. Cockroaches hate the light.

[Peregrine Took]

19. Impossible to agree with you anymore than I do!!! n/t

[agingdem]

23. Honestly

I've kind of had it with the J6 committee's cryptic teasers..."blow the roof off the House".."criminal conspiracy".."engaged in criminal act to defraud.."..I'm ready for context..disparate pieces coming together to produce a factual timeline of the events leading up to January 6...who/what/where/when/how...we already know the why..

[peppertree]

25. All the Best to them!

This country needs them now, more than ever.

[NBachers]

26. "Why is the revelation of widespread republican treason bad news for Democrats? Details coming up"

[mobeau69]

35. LOL

[Bones1]

43. No Thanks

Stop sticking pins in my balloons! 🎈🎈🎈

[PurgedVoter]

28. Great, now the popcorn shortage of '22 starts

And for once they really will be able to blame the liberals.

[electric_blue68]

33. Bwah!

[Frustratedlady]

40. I bought mine several months ago and put the kernels in the freezer. Thanks for reminding me to

take them out and check the butter supply. Nothing like warm-off-the-stove-popcorn while watching Republicans squirm while trying to come up with answers that don't contain lies.

I hope the news media have their archives at the ready to show videos that will either support or knock down Repukes statements. Telling lies is a hard habit to break.

[Joinfortmill]

30. Me too.

[Taraman]

34. I remember the Watergate hearings started slowly

and weren't expected to "move the needle", but ended up ending Nixon and sending people to prison.

[mobeau69]

39. Remember this bombshell?

[hydrolastic]

47. I was 9 o 10 then but I remember my grandmother yelling at the TV

IDK why they have had to be secret hearings up to this point they should have been public all along. They will have an effect however. Because I will let ALL of my R people know in real time exactly what is revealed. All the way to charges being filed on TFG.

[BlueJac]

37. Absolutely!

[towerbum]

38. got to remember - lot of people have a very limited attention span ?

[Evolve Dammit]

41. Nail the MFer's. Seditonist, insurrectionist, traitorous scum. ALL of them. Entire GOP except 2.

[NewsCenter28]

45. Jackie Speier on MSNBC this evening stated

that this week will be one of the most explosive weeks in congressional history!

[hydrolastic]

49. I like how the politicians are hyping it up

But we already know what to expect! Cohen told us a few days ago on one of the msnbc shows He said " every aspect of this insurrection was planned by Trump". We are going to see the entire plan and hopefully someone will implicate him. This is the biggest political or possibly any crime in American history !

[Evolve Dammit]

51. If it translates to actual indictments, I will start to get excited?

[brettdale]

46. So what to expect????

The committee will be presenting evidence the public hasn't seen before???

[kentuck]

48. I hope they are not building up expectations too high?

How much more can they tell that we don't already know?

How will the American people react?

[Demsrule86]

50. I hope Americans watch it...everyone. And not just us...I will watch.
