We are the only network not showing it. All the rest are wrong. Yeah, Fcukin A says Homer as he slides out of his pet pig. Of course, Fox did spend the two hours discussing nothing else but the hearing. Edited June 10, 2022 by keelansgrandad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I also find so shocking about these cases is that these people were clearly confident they could get away with subverting the democratic process by breaking the law. These are the very same people who conspicuously parade their "devotion" to the US Constitution. That Trump generated such a mindset in people who clearly understood what the law and electoral process required shows just how utterly corrosive and malignant Trump's influence has been.

Surfer 1,547 Posted June 15, 2022 Well today (Wednesday's) hearing has been postponed until tomorrow (Thursday) but here is a preview. Pretty direct accusation there from Republican Liz Cheney, no wonder her party is trying to expel her.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 17, 2022 Users of Donald Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, were reportedly suspended after mentioning the ongoing January 6 hearings, putting the site's "free speech" bona fides in a harsh light. The platform, which professes to be "free from political discrimination," came under scrutiny after multiple users took to Twitter to announce that they had been removed from the site after posting content that may have appeared unfavorable to Trump.

horsefly 4,311 Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) The Jan 6th Congressional committee is doing an excellent job in allowing people on the receiving end of Trump's attempt to overthrow democracy in the US show just how real that attempt was. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/us-officials-say-they-received-death-threats-after-refusing-to-help-donald-trump-overturn-2020-election/ar-AAYIrF4?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=0950a4f8516749f583e29d4841457060 The testimony of Rusty Bowers, a Trump supporting conservative Republican, is astonishing.
