Well…have been watching the January 6th hearings to try to find a topic for this afternoon…without a lot of luck since the hearing seems to not be going anywhere….and this judge Luttig is just too verbose and doesn’t make a lot of sense to me….damn, he could put me to sleep if I’m not careful….I guess what the gist of it is is that no one believed that the vp could choose the president other than the idiot trump but they all tried to make it happen anyway….so, I’m still watching but I think they could have made this point in about 5 minutes and moved on to something else….we know that idiot boy tried and tried to pressure pence to do something illegal that he wouldn’t do…but lets not make Pence out to be a hero here…he spent 5 years being the biggest trump suck up and going along with all of his criminality so doing one thing right does not make him a hero…there have been some tantalizing bits about how Eastman had his hooks into the SC and that he expected there to be real acceptance of his scheme there and ginni thomas was right in the middle of that as can be shown by all of the texts and e-mails she sent to Eastman….so yeah, maybe a little new information but nothing too earthshaking….other than the committee now wants to talk to ginni thomas about her role…so a little progress…..hmmmm…

Well…I read a lot of the news every day…maybe too much but I was still surprised at the new facts that were presented during the first January 6th hearing last night. While everyone felt that the idiot trump was the center of all of it, in this first hearing it was made explicitly clear that the whole damn thing was directed by idiot boy through his minions in the repub party and they all knew they were breaking the law with the bombshell that most of the repub house members who voted against certifying the votes then asked for pardons before the idiot was out of office….and trump himself was told multiple times that he was spewing a lie when he said the election was “stolen” from him but he didn’t care since he was doing everything he could to stay in office including committing treason. One of the things that I didn’t like was the elevating of Mike Pence to some sort of here for doing his ceremonial job and certifying the electoral votes…let’s just remember that he had his head up trump’s ass for 4 years and said nothing about all of the crimes that were being committed in that 4 years…and then the lionization of Liz Cheney for doing her damn job…I do appreciate what she is doing now, but lets remember that until this committee work, Cheney was just another super right wing repub who loved tax cuts for the rich and hated on  LGBTQ people just like the rest of the repub party….I think the committee did a good job in laying out the overview of what is going to be revealed in the next 5 hearings and making the clear point that it was all trump…and without him none of this would have happened….and that is the most damning piece of information of all…

Well…as more and more information comes out about the attack on the capital, including the committee reading out texts from the moron Meadows yesterday, I think the public hearings are going to be pretty damn explosive….and I think that McCarthy made a huge mistake by withdrawing repub support since he now has absolutely no control over the questions that will be asked or who is going to be asked to testify…..but, we all know he is not too bright and was just trying to keep the idiot trump’s support by obstructing the committee…and he was doing that because he knew trump was in on the whole thing…and I won’t be surprised if McCarthy was in on the attack, too. Damn, how long ago were the Watergate hearings? okay…1973…I remember at the place I was working we would sit down at lunch and watch for an hour every day…this time, I’ll probably watch the whole thing and do a series on it with at least one post about it every day….but that won’t be til later in 2022….sure wish they’d get their butts in gear….
