B-Man Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Heavily Hyped Primetime Jan 6 Committee Hearing Lands with a Thud There were no such revealing details of any import that I could see, and their attempt to show that Trump was “at the center” of some coordinated multistep effort was weak at best. Trump is not above criticism, and many don’t like his actions and words after the 2020 election, but no one yet has found definitive evidence that Trump said anything even close to, ”storm the capitol, folks!” What the Committee did prove is that A) it was a violent event, B) security was utterly lacking, and C) that the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were there. All very interesting—and all stuff we already knew from the second Donald Trump impeachment trial. {snip} I’m guessing much of the audience had already turned to a different channel by the time the committee started showing the video, which was about 48 minutes into the hearing. The video is compelling, and as I said there’s plenty of violence and some people who should go to jail, and many have. Although the committee said some of the footage was “never-before-seen by the public,” there didn’t seem to be any that was particularly different than what we’ve already seen, and certainly none that shone new light on the situation. The only thing that jumped out to me was that it seemed the volume level of the background noise of yelling protesters seemed to have been jacked up to 11 for maximum effect. Riots are bad. Got it. The committee continued with more evidence—evidence that mostly showed that a riot is a scary place to be. Nowhere was there a smoking gun, a new “blockbuster” piece of evidence, or a stunning new narrative. The hearing was a disaster for Democrats, and it’s hard to see a huge audience that wants to watch seven more hearings. Those hearings won’t even be primetime, and won’t get the same wall-to-wall network coverage. They’ll probably be little noticed by anyone except Adam Schiff groupies. https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2022/06/10/heavily-hyped-primetime-jan-6-committee-hearing-lands-with-a-thud-n576889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No adult falls for that first grade "observation" The Left puts on a prime time propaganda show at taxpayers expense, we are naturally going to point out it's nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why we didn't hear about any of these people last night? They were the only ones who died during the "insurrection" after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills404 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Friendly reminder that the left doesn’t actually think attacking government buildings and threatening the safety of public officials is a bad thing. They’re just embarrassed and jealous that the right were able to what they failed miserably at. Edited June 10, 2022 by gobills404 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on board with a complete investigation by law enforcement officials on the event of 1/6, including charging the perpetrators who assaulted law enforcement, breached the Capitol, destroyed property and the like. I acknowledge thinking that law enforcement might be a bit heavy handed against those guilty of low level activity, but on the whole, I supported the investigation just as you did. Now, when confronted with videos of insurrectionists and revolutionaries attempting to storm the White House, burn it to the ground and lynch all the occupants, you seem completely comfortable with those actions. @Jauronimo has been active here of late talking about the difference between jaywalking in Des Moines and attempting the stop the peaceful transfer of power, and while I disagree that people are generally comparing 1/6 to stealing sneakers, I do agree a message must be sent. I can't imagine a more destructive assault on our way of life than that shown in those videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
