this is really boring and overhyped.  Most of the country doesn't care about topic, I'd say a 3 hour special on inflation would get more eyeballs.  Or a bikini contest.

I think the main talking point has been some version of "we're only hearing one side of the story by this all-Democrat committee selectively choosing witnesses".

And other than the poll worker, every witness has been a Republican and a Trump supporter.

I just can't come to grips with the fact that one group of people can view the facts and so clearly understand the truth and another group is so capable of completely deluding themselves. It's so hard to believe that at times I've questioned my own sanity. Am I the one who is fucked up here?  Am I the crazy one who can't see the truth?

The Emperor’s New Clothes was published in 1837. Its an old story.

Now tell me how much of this is covered tonight by their prime time shows?

They’ll spend the evening complaining about Hunter Biden and why aren’t we telling Ukraine to just lay back and let Russia do its thing.  And gas and inflation.

Seems there is some doubt being raised about the Beast story.  

This entire testimony getting negated in the court of public opinion because of one comment is par for the course in this fucking country.  

 

What's stupid is that she was recounting what she had been told by Meadows. She was not asserting it as fact. Meadows should be the person who is called into question here, not Hutchinson

Honestly, I know that and the ketchup story got the headlines, but I was/still am confused why they were mentioned in the testimony. It was really just a juicy piece of gossip to throw out there. It doesn't do anything to tie January 6th together.

Someone take one for the team tonight and watch Sean Hannity to see if Sean Hannity addresses why he, Sean Hannity, is mentioned so many times in today's hearing. Sean Hannity. 

No, thanks. I'll just wait for the dumbest clip to be posted.

I think Engel was there when Meadows told her that, according to her testimony.

Going to be pretty tough to top citing Michelle Bachmann as a credible source that Dems are going to make Hillary the 2024 nominee.

While I agree, he, to me, seems like the most important possible witness in nailing Trump to the wall.  He is fighting appearing to the death, because he knows he will get charged...and convicted.  Get his testimony, and Trump may actually go to jail.

They don't need his testimony to send dotard to jail.  If what's already out there doesn't send him to jail then this guy's testimony won't do the trick either.

Might as well hang this bastard if we can't get dotard.

i think Marvin Zindler used to complain about that in his Rat and Roach Report.
"There was ketchup on the walls!  There was slime in the ice machine!"
"Maaaarrrrrvvviiiinnnn Zindler.  Eyewitness News."

The fuck? Michelle Bachmann is the dean at an institute of learning? 

No. She's a dean at a bullshit Christofascist profit and indoctrination center founded by, and still run by, Pat Robertson.

Yes, that's from today. Also, if there is one person I trust to know the ins and outs of internal Democratic politics, it's Michelle Fucking Bachmann. 

This is what Fox News does.  They aren’t mentioning the hearings today.  I flipped over a few times a couple of hours ago and learned that Biden is going to sue oil companies or something to make gas prices go up and also Biden is going to have pop up tents that do abortions in public parks where your kids will be playing.  Nothing about Trump being a treasonous piece of shit.

i've said this repeatedly, but this is how it works. 

when trump did something ridiculous, cnn and msnbc would cover it one way, and people assumed fox covered it the other way.  the reality is that fox wouldn't cover it at all.  they know there are so many people that get all their news from fox and only fox, that they can control the entire narrative and turn actual news into a non-story for these people. 

that's why so many of these goblins getting interviewed seem like brainwashed idiots - "no, that didn't really happen."  they think they're watching an actual news channel with several different shows and hosts, and nobody mentioned it, so yeah, it probably sounds made up to them.  

it's like occasionally when weekend update will drop in a piece of real news and say, "just in case this is your only source of news, we wanted you to know".  it's like that, but way sadder.

They had Jonathan Swan of Axios on earlier. All of them, including him, were super aggressively angry earlier at the committee for putting Hutchinson's "second-hand testimony" about the Secret Service interactions without presenting "primary testimony". 

They neglected to mention that Meadows is refusing to provide said "primary testimony".

I agree with this with the addition of them jumping on specific instances, out of context usually, if that helps them advance their narratives. Example being them jumping on the Committee for not proving "primary testimony". They extrapolate from that to discredit everything else Hutchinson said. 

Then move on to the hits: China, inflation, gas prices and Hunter Biden.

who would be shocked if she were promised nice things in exchange for going up there, saying some ridiculous stuff that probably can't happen (a corpulent 300 pounder lunge from the back into the front of the beast?), get lampooned by the jesse waters and the jesse kellys and jack posobiecs of the world, and the entire thing gets discredited as just another witch hunt! nothingberder

Why is it reasonable to counter sworn testimony with an anonymous source? It’s irresponsible

I think part of the problem with the story is that they keep saying The Beast and everyone thinks of the Cadillac limo. From the video shown at the hearing today, he was in a Suburban like the one he was in for his COVID parade outside the hospital. I don't know if it's like AF1 and Marine 1 where any vehicle he's in is called The Beast, but the story made more sense to me if he was sitting in the second row of a Suburban.

Yes. This isn’t Engel or the driver saying what did or didn’t happen. It’s not even them saying they are prepared to say it under oath.  It’s allegedly them saying it to some unknown person, who then says it to this guy.   Fails chain of custody.

great!  come on down guys.  tell your story.  i find it hard to believe they weren't included in the initial scope when they interviewed 1000 people or whatever the fuck, but yeah, let's get it on.

to all those, "nothing will happen" people, let's just game it out, best case scenario.  what is the (realistic) goal from these early hearings?  the goal is to get more people to testify - higher up people, possibly people who declined earlier and are having a change of heart, or people who feel the need to go on the record to correct what someone else said.  cheney's close today was all about this - come forward, tell your story.

so let's back up a sec.  were crimes committed?  yes.  jailable felony types of crimes?  yes. 

ok, so bringing a bunch of little people or 1/6 capitol stormer morons won't get you anywhere, we know that.  so they start bringing in people like today.  then maybe it gets the secret service guys to talk.  shit, there were rumblings today that this might get meadows to talk.  or cipollone to talk.  between the fake elector scheme and the conspiracy to interfere with/overturn the certification of a presidential election, people need to go to prison. 

can you bring charges on trump and nail him for that shit?  of course not.  not yet.  i've seen fucking goodfellas.  shit, i got arrested by people hoping i would "tell what i know" so they could put somebody else in prison. 

"with a conspiracy like this, you build from the outer edges and go step by step." 

ok, so you bring in lower people in hopes they'll implicate the middle range people.  are those middle range people willing to go to prison to protect the bigger people?  i have no idea.  are the big people willing to go to prison in order to protect trump, knowing how exhausting all of this shit is?  again, this is unknown, but i wouldn't want to be asking myself that question in the mirror or to my family when the bracelets come out.

so to answer the question, "what is the point of all of this?" - this is the point.  get people on the record, implicate others, work your way up the ladder, hoping you get some people to flip and tell what they know.  this isn't political theater and it doesn't matter who's watching or whose minds won't get changed or what fox news is saying.  this is about people committing crimes and people going to prison. 

people will go down for this.  will it be people we give a shit about?  probably not.  but tomorrow is another day.

YEP.  This is why the in laws are flabbergasted when we tell them things about dotard and the GOP.  Their immediate reaction is "no way that happened" because their only news source is Fox.  They try to claim it's not, but it 100% is.  MIL strangely "doesn't watch Fox News", but has every single moron talking point ready to go at a moment's notice.

Zindler was ok, until he went to LaGrange.  Fuck Marvin and his patent leather white shit.

Are they hoping Trump directly responds to the "grabbing the wheel/strangling the SS agent" story and says it never happened? Then they can call the agent to testify that it happened, and show he's full of shit? 

I can't see them putting her up there to tell that without having at least one more corroborating witness somehow.

It went towards showing his temper tantrums.  Tailed onto the story about grabbing the wheel.  Like a toddler.  And that played into the 25A talk and cabinet members resigning, showing how many felt he was too close to the edge.
