For those that refuse to listen or to watch the hearings tonight, do not waste your time trying to further convince them that their country is in danger.
There is a Bible verse that fits their occasion.
Matthew 10:14
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

Life must be so much easier by choosing to remain ignorant.

Hope its true because they certainly are ignorant of their enemy and of the truth.

We have far more things to waste away our days with. I doubt most people even realize these hearings are taking place.
Some people may turn on NBC, ABC or CBS and get pissed that their favorite show isn't on, much like I used to do when the President would TAKE OVER ALL THE CHANNELS WITH HIS DUMB SPEECH!
That was back when I was a kid and we only had 3 channels.

The Jan. 6th hearings have to "compete" with hockey and basketball playoffs, regular primetime shows, movies etc. for people's attention. Let's hope at least some folks are recording the hearings so they can watch them later.
