There have been recordings of GOP meetings planning on 'making friends with lawyers/judges in each state just to be able to contest the next election' easier. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/01/gop-contest-elections-tapes-00035758

Believe it and get ready for it. I expect every election moving forward in my lifetime to have accusations of VOTER FRAUD attached to them and that what little fraud there is will be done by Republicans.

That's heartening, I'm glad people were tuning in. I do think that staggering the hearings to one every couple of a days is a good call. Gives the media time to chatter and speculate about revelations, and then an injection of new drama.

Let’s hope the drip of revelations from the hearing over the next couple of weeks gets the closing summary and conclusions and even bigger share.

Judge Schnoopy posted:What subversive message are they aiming for where she speaks without being able to see Thomas? Is it a message of "I'm not with him, these are my independent views"? “I ordered a right-wing 80’s political coalition and was shipped an insurrection. Let me speak to your manager.”

This is a borderline "never heard of her and she never did anything anyway and probably brought me coffee once and is just a jealous loser anyway" response from Donny. The kind of response he usually gives when one of his underlings does something and he feels he has to pretend that they never existed.

That being said, I'm sticking with my  that Trump will not be criminally indicted and arrested over this, and will run for president again. Edit: This isn't to say he'll win. Or if he has a hamburgler heart attack or something. When 55% of you think you should be criminally indicted. Well...

I imagine people "disgusted" by the hearing generally chose not to watch it. Most people probably tuned in because they figured some crazy poo poo would be going down/exposed, and for those who hadn't been paying close attention to the investigation for the past year, that expectation was partially met. The footage was pretty wild and the testimony established that the violence was more severe and more premeditated than a lot of Americans understood.

There was very little in the presentation or statements I didn’t already know or at least had heard about. But I follow the legal maneuvering around this issue pretty diligently, even to the point of reading some of the more critical court documents directly to be sure I understand it. I think for a lot of people most of that was new. Also, 19 million watching it directly is pretty good since a multiple of that are going to get exposed to the sound bites and discussion from it, and those people are the ones who are more likely to not be up to date on it and may have no real understanding of how bad the event was or how planned and deliberate the whole coup was. At this point we know that even before the election Trump was making plans on how to contest the election and deny the result before the results were even counted. To the point of involving legal scholars to plan every even questionable legal step that could be made and when that was clearly not going to work just openly illegal actions. The coup hinged in large part on getting DoJ to provide just a smidge of cover for the state legislatures to submit an alternate slate of electors. First trump pressured Barr to make that statement until he resigned and then Trump pressured Rosen until he (and the entire senior staff at Justice) threatened to resign and the Trump tried to illegally install Clark as AG because he would make the false statement. Without that cover the false electors couldn’t get enough support for a real alternate slate to be passed legally so they made false documents and sent them to the National Archives. Without real alternate slates there was no mechanism for the senate and the house to actually object to the real slates because there was only one recognized true vote tally. This planning started before November and a lot of people still think Trump just thought he won and that there was fraud and he was just acting accordingly. Edit: The big questions I still have are how much did the senators like Cruz know and how involved was he in the planning? Murgos fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jun 10, 2022 |

I mean, "more pressing issues" includes more or less the same fascists undermining women's and lgbtq+ rights, and more or less the same fascists continuing to undermine voting, and the same fascist likely to run for president again.

The Fulton county DA says they expect a charging decision on Trump and company by June 30. Thinking about this from a cinematic viewpoint, I wonder if the last session of the public hearings will include a vote to refer charges to DOJ? Yes, it would just be symbolic and theater but it would be that public impetus that gives DOJ a clear mandate to launch more aggressive public investigations. Like formally empowering a special investigator.

Kind of a fluff piece but whatever https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-capitol-siege-middle-east-congress-philadelphia-0a871c7f5ba417cbd38684d979c69421 Jan. 6 hearing doesn’t change many minds in Philly suburbs quote:“I think what this administration did is far worse (than Watergate). We all see what happened,” said Pigott, 58, a Democrat who lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, north of Philadelphia. “I’m convinced he instigated all of it. ... I think this is the worst attack on our system of government since the Civil War.” I love the whole "they want to find him guilty of something" as if they just made everything up or that poo poo like this happens all the time. Reminds me of how many times John Gotti walked. Yeah, they really just wanted to find that murderous criminal extornist guily of something.

Pretty much, the Dems are using this to let any active Republican off the hook. We’ll may see Giuliani tier republicans get named, and they will continue to center this on Trump, but they won’t go after anybody they can perceivably gain cache with and they certainly won’t point out that the current GOP are coup supporters who’re working towards a second one by way of dismantling our democracy.
