The Jan. 6 Commission is a Democratic campaign ad, a thinly veiled partisan exercise — aired in primetime, with the cooperation of a liberal press — to bolster a failed Joe Biden presidency.
But rather than ignore it or look to the future, Donald Trump, the King Lear of Mar-a-Lago, decided to tweet — er, Truth — yet another statement confirming that he refuses to accept reality. “January 6th was not simply a protest,” he wrote, “it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again.”

It wasn’t, of course. It was a national shame. One that neither Democrats nor Trump can stop obsessing over. It’s time for Republicans to move on.
This isn’t 2016, when the country was sleepwalking toward a Hillary Clinton coronation, and Trump was the only one pugnacious enough to say it doesn’t have to be this way.
He refused to accept that the southern border should be lawless and that China should be allowed to steal jobs. He knew, unapologetically, that the economy flourished under low taxes and little government interference. He pulled off one of the most jaw-dropping upsets in American political history, and — though the liberal media will never admit it — oversaw a term of mostly peace and prosperity.

But Trump has become a prisoner of his own ego. He can’t admit his tweeting and narcissism turned off millions. He won’t stop insisting that 2020 was “stolen” even though he’s offered no proof that it’s true.

More than 20 million Americans tuned into Thursday night’s primetime hearing by the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot — a larger figure than watched this year’s slap-affected Oscars ceremony, according to data released Friday.
According to Nielsen Media Research, approximately 15 million households watched the hearing across 11 different networks for a 12.3 rating. The viewing figures did not include data from PBS, which also aired the hearing live.

Vox and others say that we are facing a recession. The question is what can we do about it?
The economy are generally in good shape right now. The unemployment rate is low, and the labor market is strong. Job openings are at near-record levels, and many workers who want to find something better are doing so. Household and corporate balance sheets are strong. Business profit margins are coming down some but are not disastrous. The stock market is faltering, but the worst troubles seem to be concentrated to the high-flying tech sector that was bound to cool off a bit. Stock market investors are still much wealthier than they were five, 10 years ago.
The elephant in the room is, of course, inflation, which is high and, for most consumers, just incredibly annoying. Rising prices are cutting into wage gains for workers. The average price of gas nationally was $4.91 as of June 7, climbing just as many Americans get ready to hit the road for the summer.

“Everything else is going swimmingly, but the inflation is painfully high. People can’t get around that, psychologically,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. Add to inflation over two years of a pandemic, war in Ukraine, mass shootings, and political dysfunction, and it makes it hard to say you feel good about anything, including the economy. “It’s just a noxious brew that’s come together and is weighing very heavily on the collective psyche at this point.”
The Federal Reserve is tightening monetary policy to try to combat inflation, which could push the economy into a recession. Regardless, the breakneck pace of the recovery from the pandemic recession is slowing down.
The war in Ukraine and the Chinese shutdown is causing more of it.
Long term, convert to solar power and even windmills that cause cancer according to Trump.
Nuclear power plants?? But gradually replace carbon emission energy systems.
It would create millions of jobs.
I worked on a couple coal fired power plants in the 80s. One of them had a 692' smokestack! Walking around the exterior scaffolding was very interesting 🤔
Many Congressional Republicans dishonored themselves by voting to object to electors, even after the riot. But most of the GOP refused to go along. The person who owns Jan. 6 is Donald Trump. Remarkably, he seems to welcome this. “January 6th was not simply a protest,” he wrote Thursday on Truth Social, “it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again.”
Pity the people who went to Washington believing this nonsense, not least the more than 800 who have been charged with criminal offenses. Thursday’s hearing ended with video of rioters explaining their thinking, as their criminal charges flashed on the screen. “I did believe that the election was being stolen,” one man said, “and Trump asked us to come.”
Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on Jan. 6, and he is still doing it.
The New York Post doesn't agree with you on almost everything except economic.

Trainwreck: Ratings Are in for Jan. 6 Committee Production
Context: The evening newscasts on CBS, NBC & ABC average anywhere from 18 to 20 million viewers combined on a typical night. Those newscasts do not air in primetime. The January 6 hearings airing in primetime Thursday took in just 11+ million viewers on those three same networks.
It didn’t go well on CBS, as the Free Beacon explained.
Just 3.24 million people watched the network’s “Capitol Assault Hearings” coverage Thursday night, according to the TV Ratings Guide. Exactly one week prior, 3.86 million people tuned in to CBS to watch a Young Sheldon rerun, meaning an old episode of the coming-of-age sitcom garnered roughly 600,000 more viewers than the inaugural hearing.
That gap is even more pronounced for new Young Sheldon episodes. More than seven million people, for example, watched the show’s season five finale, titled “A Clogged Pore, a Little Spanish, and the Future,” during CBS’s 8 p.m. slot on Thursday, May 19. Three weeks earlier, 6.9 million people watched a new episode titled, “Uncle Sheldon and a Hormonal Firecracker.”
In painstaking detail, and with brutal new footage of the attack at the U.S. Capitol, the House Jan. 6 committee began to lay out its case Thursday that the insurrection was planned — and that it was only the most conspicuous component of a sprawling and illegal offensive by then-President Donald Trump to remain in power.
"President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of the attack," Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the Republican vice chair of the panel, said during its first public hearing.
The audience for the committee's six planned hearings over the coming weeks is not fellow lawmakers, and — despite the prime-time scheduling Thursday — it isn't really the general public. There will be no impeachment of the former president, and few White House officials or Democratic strategists are sanguine about the possibility of significant movement in public opinion.
"It's not an issue that is top of mind for voters," said Chris Kofinis, a Democratic strategist who conducts focus groups. "Inflation is."
Instead, the committee's work is most clearly aimed at the top brass at the Department of Justice who will decide whether to bring charges against Trump and members of his inner circle.
On MSNBC Friday, former federal prosecutor Danya Perry outlined how Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has a bigger goal in mind than simply airing former President Donald Trump's wrongdoing to the American people.
Rather, Perry argued, she wants Attorney General Merrick Garland to start charging crimes — and give him the tools to do it.
Cheney said on Thursday: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonour will remain.”
Meanwhile Fox News, which has long had a marriage of convenience with Trump, did not even broadcast the hearing live. Instead host Tucker Carlson described it as “propaganda” from the “ruling class” and told viewers: “They are lying and we are not going to help them do it.”
It is possible that this and subsequent hearings will break through with a sliver of undecided voters in the middle who had not been paying attention to the drip feed of January 6 stories. But not even Democrats expect it to rescue them in November’s midterm elections. History will remember Trump’s plot against America – but memory alone cannot guarantee democracy.
Jonathan Turley has been critical of the committee for its tunnel vision investigation of everything Trump and completely ignoring the personnel decisions leading up to Jan 6. He correctly points out that those decisions were not up to Trump. They were Pelosi's. This should tell even the dumbest of democrats that this committee is a joke.
Details about the pardons established a criminal context for what appears to be the committee’s sincere goal – seeing the Department of Justice bring a criminal indictment against a former president.
I think James Hohmann was right when the Post columnist said that Cheney’s opening statement seemed to be tailored made for an audience of one, which is to say, Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Cheney used a telling word: “corruptly.”
“In our third hearing, you will see that President Trump corruptly planned to replace the attorney general,” she said. “In our fifth hearing, you will see evidence that President Trump corruptly pressured state legislators and election officials to change election results.”
She’s used that word before.
Amid the committee’s vote in December to hold in contempt of Congress former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, she said that his testimony would have provided insight into whether Donald Trump did, “through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’ official proceeding to count the electoral votes?”
I’m not the first to point out “corruptly” can be found in the federal statute outlawing the obstruction of an official proceeding.
From 18 U.S. Code § 1505:
Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law … shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism, imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.
Select committees have riveted the nation by informing it about the Watergate (1973) and Iran-contra (1987) scandals. But in those bygone days, before political tribalism suffocated many Americans’ capacity for independent judgment, there was broad agreement that something deplorable had occurred in each case. And the hearings broadened agreement about that.
Story continues below advertisement
Today, Republicans have almost entirely shunned the Jan. 6 committee, and the Republican National Committee has described as “legitimate political discourse” the mob action that included smearing interior surfaces of the Capitol with feces. Furthermore, the comportment of senators of both parties during televised confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominees indicates that many people now in Congress are incapable of disinterested inquiries. Americans, numbed by the dregs of U.S. society behaving badly in high political offices, will not pay protracted attention to the committee.
Still, the committee can usefully provide testimony about how on that day the president — surrounded by lickspittle mediocrities and allied with many such in both houses of Congress — reaped what he and they had sown: chaos. But the committee’s first, most important and sufficient task is to show what happened.
Video cameras are ubiquitous: Even the rioters carried smartphones as well as stupid banners. Today, most people absorb most of what they learn about public matters from pictures. By disseminating the graphic record of Jan. 6, the committee can serve the nation by deepening its embarrassment, which is a necessary first step toward the recovery of its dignity.
ectly points out that those decisions were not up to Trump. They were Pelosi's. This should tell even the dumbest of democrats that this committee is a joke.
I was wondering who the first dumb fuck would blame Pelosi for trumps riots....Never one to disappoint , the ball less wonder again proves the endless stupidity of the GOP slurpers who inhabit the earth.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

The Wall Street Journal editorial board concludes after watching the January 6 hearing: “Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on Jan. 6, and he is still doing it.”
The New York Post editorial board isn’t swayed either: “The best argument Trump’s people can cling to is that the Capitol building wasn’t properly secured. The committee would look far less partisan by scrutinizing these claims. But what’s the logic? You knew Trump was going to incite a mob, so you should have brought in more troops? Trump himself doesn’t deny that he wished the rioters had succeeded in overturning the election.”
Providing a link to the ratings, the Washington Free Beacon adds a poignant twist. Reporter Collin Anderson homes in on CBS (which lagged the field) and finds that CBS’s broadcast of the hearing could not keep up with the rerun of “Young Sheldon” [?] that aired in the same time slot last week:
Just 3.24 million people watched the network’s “Capitol Assault Hearings” coverage Thursday night, according to the TV Ratings Guide.

BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Another asshole R hoping that America ignored the factual hearings and will just go away....Sure sounds like the Trumpian response to covid when it started......only 20 million allegedly watched which probably pales in the # who have followed the reports and summations....Rat thinks everyone is as dumb as he is and therefor not entitled to be influenced by trumps actions.....Sadly as more comes to light....the desperation of the GOP grows louder!!!!!! Fun to watch the train roll over all the idiots who fell for the greatest snake oil salesman of all time!!!!
The ugly truth the beltway can't grasp, it isn't that regular America doesn't care about Jan6. It's that they hate you for making their lives miserable, so when they saw you cowering, they thought good, now they know how it feels to be afraid.
The gov fucked over regular America with Covid, then let cities burn because democrats were having a tantrum, then left half of them feeling cheated and disenfranchised... and you're shocked none of them give a shit when pols got got temporarily discomforted for one day?
The further you get from the beltway, the more Americans hate and distrust their government. Why shouldn't they? You do nothing but fuck them over while your pet media blatantly lies to their faces.
They hated you a year and a half ago. Now you've fucked the economy, their money is worthless, they can't buy gas or food, and you're shocked that they don't give a shit about your pathetic Soviet show trial, crying about how you felt scared for one day?
Where was the big public trial about the abysmal fuck up in Afghanistan, so many Americans wasted time, money, and lives on? Where was the big pubic trial for the hundred other Biden fuck ups? We all know the answer. Which just further illustrates why we despise you.

January 6 Exposes Rift Between Trump and His Daughter June 11, 2022 at 7:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 40 Comments
Washington Post: “The discord marks a new twist on a close father-daughter relationship that has spanned family, business and politics, exposing a rift that has opened since the 2020 election… Before Jan. 6, Ivanka Trump broke with her father and siblings in avoiding baseless fraud allegations and attempts to overturn the election results. On the day of the Capitol riot, she repeatedly tried to convince the president to make a statement or video calling for his supporters to stop the attack.
“That tension could mount as the committee holds more hearings this month. Ivanka Trump’s descriptions of her efforts to press her father into action on Jan. 6 have made her a key witness for investigators, people familiar with her testimony said. The committee interviewed both Ivanka Trump and Kushner for hours and has also indicated that it will release transcripts.”
But the people who refuse to accept this reality — or (in the case of many GOP officials) pretend to refuse — are locked into this alternate reality by conviction or political necessity. Nothing that has happened in the year and a half since has shaken this stance; indeed, the percentage of Republicans who believe the election was stolen remains undiminished, since Trump left office.
The case laid out by the January 6 committee on Thursday was effective and compelling. It will make it even more likely that Republicans in Congress will be running away from reporters — especially those who were seeking pardons from Trump for what they did on or around Jan. 6. The accumulation of evidence may put pressure on the Justice Department to seriously consider a criminal indictment of Trump.
But if you ask, “Was the hearing convincing?” you have to add: “convincing to whom?” Once again, the contrast with Watergate is stark: Back then, over months of testimony, newspaper and television reporting and the statements in court of the Watergate burglars, the picture of a corrupt White House and president merged with enough force to convince a critical mass of Republicans that their president was a lawbreaker who had violated his constitutional oath of office.
In the case of Trump, the conclusion that he engaged in corrupt and quite possibly criminal behavior has been breathtakingly obvious at least since November 2020, if not before. And that certainty — along with the blatant refusal of millions to accept that reality — defines the limits of what the January 6 committee can accomplish.
But we're supposed to be concerned with a Cheney having a PMS episode.
LOL.
Yes. Let yourself be conned by the J6 Kangaroo Court and the merry band of fuckwits telling you not to pay attention to how badly FJB is FUCKING YOU right now.
Correct. Because of his age and his tendency to speak incorrectly, but not because he is insane...
“Biden doesn’t get the credit he deserves for steering the country through the worst of the pandemic, passing historic legislation, pulling the NATO alliance together against Russian aggression and restoring decency and decorum to the White House. And part of the reason he doesn’t is performative. He looks his age and isn’t as agile in front of a camera as he once was, and this has fed a narrative about competence that isn’t rooted in reality.”
You got cond by Trump The Wall Street Journal editorial board concludes after watching the January 6 hearing: “Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on Jan. 6, and he is still doing it.”
The New York Post editorial board isn’t swayed either: “The best argument Trump’s people can cling to is that the Capitol building wasn’t properly secured.

Trump himself doesn’t deny that he wished the rioters had succeeded in overturning the election.”
Trump had unsuccessfully urged his vice president to overturn the results of the election by interfering with their official certification in spite of the law.
The committee expects to hold several more public hearings to share what they have found so far; the next is set for Monday at 10 a.m. EST.
Mike Pence, Tom Cotton and Ron DeSantis are already dipping their toes into the race for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination, according to a new report in the Washington Post.
Cotton and Pence are real good Republicans.
I don't agree with most of the time but remember when guys like Reagan ran?
Though he’s positioning himself as one of Biden’s chief critics, Cotton is equally notorious for fighting with Republicans. He opposed the bipartisan Gang of Eight immigration bill and unsuccessfully tried to thwart a modest Trump-era criminal justice reform law that he called a “jailbreak.”
He led the fight against former GOP Speaker Paul Ryan’s Obamacare repeal attempt and his hopes to tax imports. And Cotton also unsubtly contrasted his call for a military presence during protests over George Floyd’s death in 2020 with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who marched in Washington with a church group. Cotton said he was “standing up in the summer of 2020, against the BLM rioters — when some Republicans were marching with them.”
Cotton’s friends say his blunt approach is effective.
“It plays well any time you can be straightforward and say what you mean and what you believe in when you have the facts. And I would say Tom has facts,” said Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.).
Still, Cotton is more circumspect when it comes to Trump, who infuriated Republicans by moving to withdraw troops from Afghanistan in 2020. Cotton explained that “I had many, many conversations with the former president about a lot of different foreign policy questions. And we usually ended up in the same place.”
Cotton worked closely with GOP leader Mitch McConnell to thwart Trump’s plan to overturn the 2020 election in Congress, arguing that “objecting to certified electoral votes won’t give him a second term.”
POLITICO’s interview with Cotton was conducted just hours before a man shot and killed 19 children and two adults in Uvalde, Texas. Regarding that mass shooting, Caroline Tabler, a spokesperson for Cotton, said that “Sen. Cotton is following the facts as they continue and will support ways to improve security at schools once all the facts are known.”
Cotton’s straightforward manner leaves little opacity about his ideology. But he’s still capable of surprises, such as his close relationship with the least conservative member of the Senate GOP conference.
“We disagree, but it doesn’t matter. We have mutual respect for the other’s views on issues ,and I really enjoy him,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). In 2024’s presidential hunt, she added, there’s “Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Larry Hogan. There’s several outstanding candidates. But Tom is on my list.”
On the other side of the Republican coin is Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who voted to contest Trump’s loss, opposed the $40 billion aid to Ukraine and has proposed more government intervention into the economy. Despite those contrasts between him and Cotton, Hawley said that the Arkansan was the first senator to encourage him to mount a run for Senate. He said the two “never discussed” their disagreement over challenging the 2020 election.
Last year, Hawley, Cotton and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) orchestrated a wide-ranging campaign to hold up many of Biden’s lower-level appointments. There, Cotton showed a rare modicum of flexibility, ultimately relaxing his hold on U.S. marshals and U.S. attorneys in April.
He would win in a landslide against most Democrats.
MOSCOW — Call it Trumpomania. Or Trumpophrenia. Or any of a number of other Trumpisms that have popped up in Russia as this country counts down the moments to President-elect Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House.
Russia has gone crazy for Trump, and it’s not just because President Vladimir Putin and his government have been portraying the presidency of Barack Obama as one long, disastrous exercise in Russophobia, a message that state-run television has been hammering home for months.
Something about the advent of Trump has stirred the Russian soul. It’s almost as though the 45th president of Russia were about to take office on Friday.
Dershowitz: Jan. 6 Panel 'Doctored the Tape,' Edited Out Trump's Words
Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Friday that the Jan. 6 committee's public hearing on Thursday night was ''not a fair proceeding'' in that it was ''one-sided'' and ''unethical.''
''Take, for example, President Trump's speech on Jan. 6,'' Dershowitz said on ''Spicer & Co.'' ''He said at the end of the speech he wanted people to show their voices patriotically and peacefully.
''They doctored the tape,'' he continued. ''They edited those words out. If a prosecutor ever did that, they'd be disbarred. You can't present part of the tape and deliberately omit the rest of the tape in order to mislead the audience, especially when the other side has no opportunity to cross-examine, no opportunity to present its own evidence.'' https://www.newsmax.com/politics/alan-dershowitz-newsmax-donald-trump-jan-6/2022/06/10/id/1073948/

The economy are generally in good shape right now. The unemployment rate is low, and the labor market is strong.

Stock market investors are still much wealthier than they were five, 10 years ago.
The elephant in the room is, of course, inflation, which is high and, for most consumers, just incredibly annoying. Rising prices are cutting into wage gains for workers. The average price of gas nationally was $4.91 as of June 7, climbing just as many Americans get ready to hit the road for the summer.

Add to inflation over two years of a pandemic, war in Ukraine, mass shootings, and political dysfunction, and it makes it hard to say you feel good about anything, including the economy. “It’s just a noxious brew that’s come together and is weighing very heavily on the collective psyche at this point.”
The Federal Reserve is tightening monetary policy to try to combat inflation, which could push the economy into a recession. Regardless, the breakneck pace of the recovery from the pandemic recession is slowing down.

"consumer spending robust"
My how he is so void of knowledge.
"Consumer spending contracted 26.7 per cent year-on-year in May,2022"
The war in Ukraine and the Chinese shutdown is causing more of it.
Long term, convert to solar power and even windmills that cause cancer according to Trump.
Nuclear power plants?? But gradually replace carbon emission energy systems.
It would create millions of jobs.
I worked on a couple coal fired power plants in the 80s. One of them had a 692' smokestack! Walking around the exterior scaffolding was very interesting 🤔

Many Congressional Republicans dishonored themselves by voting to object to electors, even after the riot. But most of the GOP refused to go along. The person who owns Jan. 6 is Donald Trump. Remarkably, he seems to welcome this. “January 6th was not simply a protest,” he wrote Thursday on Truth Social, “it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again.”
Pity the people who went to Washington believing this nonsense, not least the more than 800 who have been charged with criminal offenses. Thursday’s hearing ended with video of rioters explaining their thinking, as their criminal charges flashed on the screen. “I did believe that the election was being stolen,” one man said, “and Trump asked us to come.”
Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on Jan. 6, and he is still doing it.

Scott, the Wall Street Journal and The New York Post both said that it is time to move forward without Trump.
The New York Post doesn't agree with you on almost everything except economic.
But Trump has become a prisoner of his own ego. He can’t admit his tweeting and narcissism turned off millions. He won’t stop insisting that 2020 was “stolen” even though he’s offered no proof that it’s true.
Respected officials like former Attorney General Bill Barr call his rants “nonsense.” This isn’t just about Liz Cheney. Mitch McConnell, Betsy DeVos, Mark Meadows — they all knew Trump was delusional. His own daughter and son-in-law testified it was bull.
Trump’s response? He insults Barr, and dismisses Ivanka as “checked out.” He clings to more fantastical theories, such as Dinesh D’Souza’s debunked “2,000 Mules,” even as recounts in Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin confirm Trump lost.
I said this since January 6th Attack
Meanwhile, reports that Trump was pleased that the Jan. 6 crowd chanted for Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged — a truly reprehensible sentiment — makes him unworthy for the office. Trump can’t look past 2020. Let him remain there.

Trainwreck: Ratings Are in for Jan. 6 Committee Production
Context: The evening newscasts on CBS, NBC & ABC average anywhere from 18 to 20 million viewers combined on a typical night. Those newscasts do not air in primetime. The January 6 hearings airing in primetime Thursday took in just 11+ million viewers on those three same networks.
It didn’t go well on CBS, as the Free Beacon explained.
Just 3.24 million people watched the network’s “Capitol Assault Hearings” coverage Thursday night, according to the TV Ratings Guide. Exactly one week prior, 3.86 million people tuned in to CBS to watch a Young Sheldon rerun, meaning an old episode of the coming-of-age sitcom garnered roughly 600,000 more viewers than the inaugural hearing.
That gap is even more pronounced for new Young Sheldon episodes. More than seven million people, for example, watched the show’s season five finale, titled “A Clogged Pore, a Little Spanish, and the Future,” during CBS’s 8 p.m. slot on Thursday, May 19. Three weeks earlier, 6.9 million people watched a new episode titled, “Uncle Sheldon and a Hormonal Firecracker.”

a ratings disaster
Maybe Trump should do a same time infomercial ?
would demolish the J6 audience
ROFLMFAO !!!
WASHINGTON — The evidence was the star witness.
In painstaking detail, and with brutal new footage of the attack at the U.S. Capitol, the House Jan. 6 committee began to lay out its case Thursday that the insurrection was planned — and that it was only the most conspicuous component of a sprawling and illegal offensive by then-President Donald Trump to remain in power.
"President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of the attack," Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the Republican vice chair of the panel, said during its first public hearing.
The audience for the committee's six planned hearings over the coming weeks is not fellow lawmakers, and — despite the prime-time scheduling Thursday — it isn't really the general public. There will be no impeachment of the former president, and few White House officials or Democratic strategists are sanguine about the possibility of significant movement in public opinion.
"It's not an issue that is top of mind for voters," said Chris Kofinis, a Democratic strategist who conducts focus groups. "Inflation is."
Instead, the committee's work is most clearly aimed at the top brass at the Department of Justice who will decide whether to bring charges against Trump and members of his inner circle.
On MSNBC Friday, former federal prosecutor Danya Perry outlined how Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has a bigger goal in mind than simply airing former President Donald Trump's wrongdoing to the American people.
Rather, Perry argued, she wants Attorney General Merrick Garland to start charging crimes — and give him the tools to do it.
No one has debunked 2000 mules. The left hates all the video evidence in it, so they just say it's debunked.
One crime garland can start charging is protesting the houses of justices. But he's letting it happen.
Cheney said on Thursday: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonour will remain.”
Meanwhile Fox News, which has long had a marriage of convenience with Trump, did not even broadcast the hearing live. Instead host Tucker Carlson described it as “propaganda” from the “ruling class” and told viewers: “They are lying and we are not going to help them do it.”
It is possible that this and subsequent hearings will break through with a sliver of undecided voters in the middle who had not been paying attention to the drip feed of January 6 stories. But not even Democrats expect it to rescue them in November’s midterm elections. History will remember Trump’s plot against America – but memory alone cannot guarantee democracy.
Jonathan Turley has been critical of the committee for its tunnel vision investigation of everything Trump and completely ignoring the personnel decisions leading up to Jan 6. He correctly points out that those decisions were not up to Trump. They were Pelosi's. This should tell even the dumbest of democrats that this committee is a joke.
The sincere goal
Details about the pardons established a criminal context for what appears to be the committee’s sincere goal – seeing the Department of Justice bring a criminal indictment against a former president.
I think James Hohmann was right when the Post columnist said that Cheney’s opening statement seemed to be tailored made for an audience of one, which is to say, Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Cheney used a telling word: “corruptly.”
“In our third hearing, you will see that President Trump corruptly planned to replace the attorney general,” she said. “In our fifth hearing, you will see evidence that President Trump corruptly pressured state legislators and election officials to change election results.”
She’s used that word before.
Amid the committee’s vote in December to hold in contempt of Congress former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, she said that his testimony would have provided insight into whether Donald Trump did, “through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’ official proceeding to count the electoral votes?”
I’m not the first to point out “corruptly” can be found in the federal statute outlawing the obstruction of an official proceeding.
From 18 U.S. Code § 1505:
Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law … shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism, imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.
Committee members appear ready to go all the way.
I hope Garland has the guts to go with them.

George Will.
Select committees have riveted the nation by informing it about the Watergate (1973) and Iran-contra (1987) scandals. But in those bygone days, before political tribalism suffocated many Americans’ capacity for independent judgment, there was broad agreement that something deplorable had occurred in each case. And the hearings broadened agreement about that.
Story continues below advertisement
Today, Republicans have almost entirely shunned the Jan. 6 committee, and the Republican National Committee has described as “legitimate political discourse” the mob action that included smearing interior surfaces of the Capitol with feces. Furthermore, the comportment of senators of both parties during televised confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominees indicates that many people now in Congress are incapable of disinterested inquiries. Americans, numbed by the dregs of U.S. society behaving badly in high political offices, will not pay protracted attention to the committee.
Still, the committee can usefully provide testimony about how on that day the president — surrounded by lickspittle mediocrities and allied with many such in both houses of Congress — reaped what he and they had sown: chaos. But the committee’s first, most important and sufficient task is to show what happened.
Video cameras are ubiquitous: Even the rioters carried smartphones as well as stupid banners. Today, most people absorb most of what they learn about public matters from pictures. By disseminating the graphic record of Jan. 6, the committee can serve the nation by deepening its embarrassment, which is a necessary first step toward the recovery of its dignity.
ectly points out that those decisions were not up to Trump. They were Pelosi's. This should tell even the dumbest of democrats that this committee is a joke.
I was wondering who the first dumb fuck would blame Pelosi for trumps riots....Never one to disappoint , the ball less wonder again proves the endless stupidity of the GOP slurpers who inhabit the earth.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

The Wall Street Journal editorial board concludes after watching the January 6 hearing: “Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on Jan. 6, and he is still doing it.”
The New York Post editorial board isn’t swayed either: “The best argument Trump’s people can cling to is that the Capitol building wasn’t properly secured. The committee would look far less partisan by scrutinizing these claims. But what’s the logic? You knew Trump was going to incite a mob, so you should have brought in more troops? Trump himself doesn’t deny that he wished the rioters had succeeded in overturning the election.”
History will remember Trump’s plot against America – but memory alone cannot guarantee democracy.
Providing a link to the ratings, the Washington Free Beacon adds a poignant twist. Reporter Collin Anderson homes in on CBS (which lagged the field) and finds that CBS’s broadcast of the hearing could not keep up with the rerun of “Young Sheldon” [?] that aired in the same time slot last week:
Just 3.24 million people watched the network’s “Capitol Assault Hearings” coverage Thursday night, according to the TV Ratings Guide. Exactly one week prior, 3.86 million people tuned into CBS to watch a “Young Sheldon” rerun, meaning an old episode of the coming-of-age sitcom garnered roughly 600,000 more viewers than the inaugural hearing.
It gets worse (better):

The ugly truth the beltway can't grasp, it isn't that regular America doesn't care about Jan6. It's that they hate you for making their lives miserable, so when they saw you cowering, they thought good, now they know how it feels to be afraid.
The gov fucked over regular America with Covid, then let cities burn because democrats were having a tantrum, then left half of them feeling cheated and disenfranchised... and you're shocked none of them give a shit when pols got got temporarily discomforted for one day?
The further you get from the beltway, the more Americans hate and distrust their government. Why shouldn't they? You do nothing but fuck them over while your pet media blatantly lies to their faces.
They hated you a year and a half ago. Now you've fucked the economy, their money is worthless, they can't buy gas or food, and you're shocked that they don't give a shit about your pathetic Soviet show trial, crying about how you felt scared for one day?
Where was the big public trial about the abysmal fuck up in Afghanistan, so many Americans wasted time, money, and lives on?
Where was the big pubic trial for the hundred other Biden fuck ups?
We all know the answer.
Which just further illustrates why we despise you.

January 6 Exposes Rift Between Trump and His Daughter
June 11, 2022 at 7:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 40 Comments
Washington Post:
“The discord marks a new twist on a close father-daughter relationship that has spanned family, business and politics, exposing a rift that has opened since the 2020 election… Before Jan. 6, Ivanka Trump broke with her father and siblings in avoiding baseless fraud allegations and attempts to overturn the election results. On the day of the Capitol riot, she repeatedly tried to convince the president to make a statement or video calling for his supporters to stop the attack.
“That tension could mount as the committee holds more hearings this month. Ivanka Trump’s descriptions of her efforts to press her father into action on Jan. 6 have made her a key witness for investigators, people familiar with her testimony said. The committee interviewed both Ivanka Trump and Kushner for hours and has also indicated that it will release transcripts.”
IT AIN'T GOING AWAY.

"GASP!"

Yes. Feeling conned indeed. Conned into believing even for a split second that Dumb Fuck Joey Sprinkles received 81 million votes.
LOL.
Fuck off pederast.
Unless he is charged and convinced.
But the people who refuse to accept this reality — or (in the case of many GOP officials) pretend to refuse — are locked into this alternate reality by conviction or political necessity. Nothing that has happened in the year and a half since has shaken this stance; indeed, the percentage of Republicans who believe the election was stolen remains undiminished, since Trump left office.
The case laid out by the January 6 committee on Thursday was effective and compelling. It will make it even more likely that Republicans in Congress will be running away from reporters — especially those who were seeking pardons from Trump for what they did on or around Jan. 6. The accumulation of evidence may put pressure on the Justice Department to seriously consider a criminal indictment of Trump.
But if you ask, “Was the hearing convincing?” you have to add: “convincing to whom?” Once again, the contrast with Watergate is stark: Back then, over months of testimony, newspaper and television reporting and the statements in court of the Watergate burglars, the picture of a corrupt White House and president merged with enough force to convince a critical mass of Republicans that their president was a lawbreaker who had violated his constitutional oath of office.
In the case of Trump, the conclusion that he engaged in corrupt and quite possibly criminal behavior has been breathtakingly obvious at least since November 2020, if not before. And that certainty — along with the blatant refusal of millions to accept that reality — defines the limits of what the January 6 committee can accomplish.

“Biden doesn’t get the credit he deserves for steering the country through the worst of the pandemic, passing historic legislation, pulling the NATO alliance together against Russian aggression and restoring decency and decorum to the White House. And part of the reason he doesn’t is performative. He looks his age and isn’t as agile in front of a camera as he once was, and this has fed a narrative about competence that isn’t rooted in reality.”

Also known as Trumpomania?
He is a Harvard University graduate.
Though he’s positioning himself as one of Biden’s chief critics, Cotton is equally notorious for fighting with Republicans. He opposed the bipartisan Gang of Eight immigration bill and unsuccessfully tried to thwart a modest Trump-era criminal justice reform law that he called a “jailbreak.”
He led the fight against former GOP Speaker Paul Ryan’s Obamacare repeal attempt and his hopes to tax imports. And Cotton also unsubtly contrasted his call for a military presence during protests over George Floyd’s death in 2020 with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who marched in Washington with a church group. Cotton said he was “standing up in the summer of 2020, against the BLM rioters — when some Republicans were marching with them.”
Cotton’s friends say his blunt approach is effective.
“It plays well any time you can be straightforward and say what you mean and what you believe in when you have the facts. And I would say Tom has facts,” said Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.).
Still, Cotton is more circumspect when it comes to Trump, who infuriated Republicans by moving to withdraw troops from Afghanistan in 2020. Cotton explained that “I had many, many conversations with the former president about a lot of different foreign policy questions. And we usually ended up in the same place.”
Cotton worked closely with GOP leader Mitch McConnell to thwart Trump’s plan to overturn the 2020 election in Congress, arguing that “objecting to certified electoral votes won’t give him a second term.”
POLITICO’s interview with Cotton was conducted just hours before a man shot and killed 19 children and two adults in Uvalde, Texas. Regarding that mass shooting, Caroline Tabler, a spokesperson for Cotton, said that “Sen. Cotton is following the facts as they continue and will support ways to improve security at schools once all the facts are known.”
Cotton’s straightforward manner leaves little opacity about his ideology. But he’s still capable of surprises, such as his close relationship with the least conservative member of the Senate GOP conference.
“We disagree, but it doesn’t matter. We have mutual respect for the other’s views on issues ,and I really enjoy him,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). In 2024’s presidential hunt, she added, there’s “Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Larry Hogan. There’s several outstanding candidates. But Tom is on my list.”
On the other side of the Republican coin is Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who voted to contest Trump’s loss, opposed the $40 billion aid to Ukraine and has proposed more government intervention into the economy. Despite those contrasts between him and Cotton, Hawley said that the Arkansan was the first senator to encourage him to mount a run for Senate. He said the two “never discussed” their disagreement over challenging the 2020 election.
Last year, Hawley, Cotton and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) orchestrated a wide-ranging campaign to hold up many of Biden’s lower-level appointments. There, Cotton showed a rare modicum of flexibility, ultimately relaxing his hold on U.S. marshals and U.S. attorneys in April.
He would win in a landslide against most Democrats.

MOSCOW — Call it Trumpomania. Or Trumpophrenia. Or any of a number of other Trumpisms that have popped up in Russia as this country counts down the moments to President-elect Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House.
Russia has gone crazy for Trump, and it’s not just because President Vladimir Putin and his government have been portraying the presidency of Barack Obama as one long, disastrous exercise in Russophobia, a message that state-run television has been hammering home for months.
Something about the advent of Trump has stirred the Russian soul. It’s almost as though the 45th president of Russia were about to take office on Friday.
Dershowitz: Jan. 6 Panel 'Doctored the Tape,' Edited Out Trump's Words
Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Friday that the Jan. 6 committee's public hearing on Thursday night was ''not a fair proceeding'' in that it was ''one-sided'' and ''unethical.''
''Take, for example, President Trump's speech on Jan. 6,'' Dershowitz said on ''Spicer & Co.'' ''He said at the end of the speech he wanted people to show their voices patriotically and peacefully.
''They doctored the tape,'' he continued. ''They edited those words out. If a prosecutor ever did that, they'd be disbarred. You can't present part of the tape and deliberately omit the rest of the tape in order to mislead the audience, especially when the other side has no opportunity to cross-examine, no opportunity to present its own evidence.''
