Trump's "angry statement" seems to be based on the Committee not using last night to push his lies

[Miles Archer]

I know he's insane and delusional, I get it.

Here's the Raw Story link to his "Truth Social" post:

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-twitter-2657486001/

It's a platform only inhabited by MAGAts (and I assume a few who are curious, but I'm not THAT curious).

ANYWAY...he wrote that the committee "refuses to play any of the many positive witnesses and statements..."

What was he expecting? An hour of Sydney Powell threatening to "unleash the kraken?" Story time with Ginni Thomas?

His entire objection is that the committee apparently tried to make him look bad after all of his great work.

Merrick Garland REALLY NEEDS TO put the brakes on Trump. CNN claimed Garland "was watching" last night. Let's hope he watches the next six televised hearings and prepares indictments.

1. In any other station in life

the man would have been carted off to the phunny farm long ago

[Vinca]

2. Watching hair dye run down Rudy's face once is enough. But - maybe as a contrast - they

should throw in clips of the bloviating morons and suggest a crime has been committed by them.

3. Has he disowned Ivanka yet?

[Yonnie3]

9. Not quite

I don't want to post his crap here so my paraphrase of him:

Ivanka wasn't involved in election results
She was just being polite to Barr.

and

Barr (sucked)

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. He's still in denial, I see.

Thanks.

[Yonnie3]

14. in his own narcissistic world as always n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. And to think of all the crap Bill Bar pulled for him.

What an ingrate!

[Yonnie3]

17. I would expect no less from the twice impeached former occupant and cultist

Gratitude does not exist in his universe. Everything is owed to him and hence no gratitude, ever.

Once again I am singing to the choir, eh?

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. Exactly so.

[tavernier]

4. You say Garland was watching, per CNN.

It astounds me that there is even a chance that he doesn’t already know everything that was shown last night. I myself felt like I was not surprised by anything, in fact most of the information has been readily available for anyone who cared to look or was paying attention!
I’m surprised that this morning on the news shows so many people were shocked. I don’t think any of us here on DU were the least bit shocked.

[msfiddlestix]

16. Same here... can't imagine anyone of us here didn't know most of the deets before, during and after

j6 treasonous coup attempt.

I didn't know about officer Edwards' ordeal. That was a very heart wrenching testimony, and her response to Thompson's last question was profoundly gut wrenching. I was totally seeing events through her eyes easily as she struggled to find the right words to accurately describe the war zone she found herself in. And her statement indicating that she wasn't trained for combat. That just had to sink in.

I do recall expressing "omg" out loud to something revealed, but at the moment I no longer remember what the hell it was that shocked me. Just when i didn't think anything could shock me. Might have been a revealed detail surrounding the planning. I'm sure someone else will comment on it and bring it back to mind at some point.

But mostly, not surpised by much of the details in the first hearing.

Gotta say, the cliff hangers were brilliantly delivered.

And one more thing I feel compelled to mention is Liz Cheney's presentation. Some one I considered a wack job a few years ago when ever she appeared on tv to defend her position on gay marriage (anti-gay) her position on Obama's negotions with iran, and the whole "war on terror" straight up extremist in my opinion.

Now she seems like an exceptionally intelligent, reasonable, and eloquent speaker. It was a pleasujre listening to her presentation and want to hear her more. I have recognized these traits in her over the past year and ahalf from time to time but last night was a rare experience for me.

5. Calm down TFG. You could have a stroke or heart attack

or fall off a cliff or drown or choke on a Big Mac. Oops, I got carried away.

[Doc Sportello]

6. Ooooh that gave me a thought

dump's heart explodes while watching the hearings, surrounded by empty KFC buckets and Big Mac wrappers. The hearings will be blamed for his heart attack and poetic justice will be done.

[hlthe2b]

13. I want him to go after DeSantis before the big end. Dual destruction sounds about right.

[SergeStorms]

22. If Trump goes down....

you can rest assured he's going to take everyone down with him.

[dalton99a]

7. In a normal country Donald Trump would be in prison, charged with treason,

conspiracy, and a long list of other crimes

[rampartc]

19. in the kind of country the right wingers say we have

trump would have had a cigar and a blindfold by jan 7.

[dalton99a]

20. Absolutely.

[Novara]

8. "Story time with Ginni Thomas?"

[tanyev]

10. "Such a loving crowd! They loved me so much they were willing to kill for me!"

[allegorical oracle]

11. Even if TFG isn't shipped off to prison or a mental institution, he should be barred from ever again

seeking elective office. He's a clear and present danger to democracy and civil society everywhere.

[TygrBright]

21. It's like when the Nuremburg tribunal refused to allow all those character witnesses...

...for the SS officers, concentration camp commandants and other "very fine people".

TOTALLY UNFAIR!

23. +1. "Prove the corpses are dead!"

[patphil]

24. Trump's people weren't on because the committee was presenting the truth of what happened.

That automatically resulted in the exclusion of the whole "Stop the Steal" crowd.
This was all about the conspiracy and the attack on the Capitol...what came before January 6th and on that day.

The only mention of the false claim of voter fraud was the reminder that Trump's legal team lost at least 60 lawsuits regarding claimed voting irregularities, and some discussion of the fake electors.
