Jan 6 Attack on the Capitol and the aftermath

I don't know how anyone defends Trump. He used to be my favourite president. Now I see him as a complete piece of shit. His behaviour has totally obscured his positive qualities. The election fraud shit was the most embarrassing breakdown in the history of politics. It's like an actor getting up on stage and throwing a tantrum because they didn't win their award. I've never seen anything like it. The guy is a fucking disgrace. I don't know how he can show his face in public, let alone campaign for president again. If he was the leader of any other (free) country on the planet, his career would be beyond fucked. Australia replaced it's prime minister twice in a single term and there are elections every three years. Neither of them did anything near what Trump did with the capitol riots or the elections fraud shit or even that phone call where he said he grabs women by the pussy.

It's hard to remember what I liked about Trump in the first place. When I think of him, I cringe.

They aren't trials. They are presenting evidence to the public and DOJ. The trials will come later. It's easy to call them egregious by those who aren't even watching. But I get it, if you keep your head in the sand or plug your ears while screaming "Blah blah blah!!" then it will all just go away, right?

This article talked about how many people watched the commission. It shows that the number of people watching was quite low at the start and continued to fall off as the proceeding continued. The last night of the proceeding the number fell below the number of viewers that watch a rerun of "Young Sheldon." The author did give some explanation as to why (which is what you refuted) however the number is still very low.

Given that this was, IMHO, an attempt to shore up Biden's low popularity (and the Democratic Party by association) by bashing Trump yet again, the ratings indicate that it did not meet their expectations in viewership. In the end, we shall have to see if this worked or not come November Mid Terms.

Most of the world has moved beyond Trump. When will the DNC?

You can call them w/e you want, it’s a partisan witch hunt. The only people harmed by 1/6 were the four or five capital police that have since ‘committed suicide’. The latest tragedy being this.

Stenger, who resigned the day after the January 6 insurrection, amid criticism of his handling of the riot, warned in February 2021 that the role of 'professional agitators' needed to be investigated.

^ define 'quite low'? do you have a link to the article?

how much of the hearings have you watched? they're carefully and methodically laying out the case that trump's 'big lie' about election fraud was just that - a whopper. that his people knew it was a lie yet many of them perpetuated it anyway. that he pressured the states to ignore the will of their people and invalidate biden's win. that he pressured the vice-president to try to invalidate the results. that they cooked up a crazy scheme to fraudulently replace state electors. that a number of people in his circle, knowing that what they were doing was very likely illegal, asked for sweeping pardons.

we should just ignore all of this to 'move on'?

the republican party used to be the party of personal responsibility, didn't it? now, not so much.

It's easy to dismiss something that one hasn't even taken the time to watch. I've watch all 6, how many have you taken to time to view from start to finish?
 
tell me that cassidy hutchinson's testimony was accurate without telling me cassidy hutchinson's testimony was accurate...

To me it has zero to do with political affiliation. Its just who the banks/globohomo completely owns vs a relatively small minority pushing back. And yes most republicans are controlled opposition funded by the same people, but the successful ones have to at least pretend to be against them. I realize many in the anti establishment minority are grifters, and I don’t particularly care for the socially right. You have to remember that you guys are only reacting to my comment like his bc you know I’m right. The establishment hates trump, I don’t care if McConnell can hide it, that’s his job. Cheney represents the establishment more than most, and she bet on the wrong team. My best guess on why they burned her as an asset is that they will run her as the establishment candidate against trump, to chip away at any potential close election. She will be like the Lincoln project candidate, which is a group created by the establishment to be controlled opposition. To create the optics that there is a large contingency that opposes the America first mindset. I never get who’s fooled by this type of stuff, but I’m guessing it’s liberals.

Why do you have to say global homo every time? I find it so juvenile
 
It’s sort of amazing the folx that got strung along with all the conspiracies about russia collusion are now completely buying all of the coerced here say and what not from these show trials. My guess is the psychology behind it is that they want it to be true, and since it’s coming from a place everyone else they know trusts, then it must be true. The fact that nothing ever comes of it, even with the entirety of the establishment ie every corporate and government apparatus propping it up, and it still can’t gain legitimacy, matters not. At least rightoids can blame their woes on the duplicitous system set up. As a radical centrist I basically am in constant cringe mode.

lmao, not only are you not watching the Jan 6 commission, you are citing the Babylon Bee, an Onion knock off satire site. Even Fox News pundits are turning on Trump. You and other conservative establishment types would rather get their Committee updates filtered through satire faux-journalism sites than watch the hearings themselves. If anything, an intelligent person would at least watch the hearings to refute what they see, but you can't even be bothered to do that. Y'all are just scared of finding out the truth, nothing more.
