Hi. Spinoff thread from USCE for people to post about these 1/6 hearings as they happen https://apnews.com/article/where-to-watch-jan-6-committee-hearings-98a4f76f23a5bab1ab6ed1638fd93294 There's a live link to watch it in that article but I can't direct link it. Should be easy enough to find and starts at 8pm Not sure how much the forums care about this anymore but I do so...anyway...here's the thread for it since I didn't see another one. __________________________________________________________________________________________ WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a year since its inception, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will go public with its findings starting Thursday night as lawmakers hope to show the American public how democracy came to the brink of disaster. The series of hearings that will take place over the next several weeks begin with a prime-time session Thursday night in which the nine-member panel plans to give an overview of its 11-month investigation. More than 1,000 people have been interviewed by the panel, and only snippets of that testimony have been revealed to the public, mostly through court filings. What you need to know ahead of the hearing: WHEN WILL THE HEARING TAKE PLACE? The first of six hearings is set to go live at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday. It will take place in a large House office building in the U.S. Capitol complex. Lawmakers plan to have witnesses testify and to display a series of never-before-seen images and exhibits relating to the lead-up to the insurrection and the attack itself. WHO IS EXPECTED TO TESTIFY? Thursday’s prime-time hearing will open with eyewitness testimony from the first police officer pummeled in the mob riot and from a documentary filmmaker tracking the extremist Proud Boys, who prepared to fight for Trump immediately after the election, and led the storming of the Capitol. It will also feature the committee’s accounts from Trump’s aides and family members, interviewed behind closed doors, of the deadly siege that Democrats and others say put U.S. democracy at risk. British filmmaker Nick Quested, who recorded members of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group as they stormed the building, and Caroline Edwards, a U.S. Capitol Police officer who was seriously injured in the attack, will be among the witnesses. In subsequent hearings, the committee has reached out to a group of Trump-era Justice Department officials, including Jeffrey Rosen, the acting attorney general at the time of the riot, about having them as witnesses, according to a person familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations. WHAT WILL THE HEARING ENTAIL? The first hearing is expected to be a table-setter for the rest of the subsequent hearings. The committee, comprised of seven Democrats and two Republicans, plans to lay out several areas of information it has gathered throughout its investigation. Lawmakers are also expected to focus part of the first hearing on far-right extremists who broke into the building that day. The panel’s probe has so far been divided into a series of focus areas, including the efforts by former President Trump and his allies to cast doubt on the election and halt the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory; the financing and organizing of rallies in Washington that took place before the attack; security failures by Capitol Police and federal agencies; and the actions of the rioters themselves. WILL THERE BE NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE INSURRECTION? Several members of the committee have promised new and explosive information to arise from the public hearings, but it remains unclear what that will entail. The hearings are expected to be exhaustive but not the final word from the committee. It plans to release subsequent reports on its findings, including recommendations on legislative reforms, ahead of the midterm elections. _____________________________________________________________ Let me know if I should add something to the OP but I think most people here know what this is. I was just making a space for it Added a calendar by request Discendo Vox posted:Biggerboat, could we get this calendar link that Tesseraction (and iirc one other goon) provided added to the OP? BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Feb 1, 2024 |

Considering the Big Four networks (yes, Fox included) are covering this, I expect this to make a bigger impact than what the average D&D poster expects, which is to say I think there will be an impact.

Maybe, but tonight is probably going to be performative and I expect the rest of it to play out like both of Trump's impeachments and the Kavanaugh hearing. Meaning I already know what people are going to say not only in the chamber but the pundits as well. The fact that it's 7 Dems and 2 Republicans right there is an automatic "witch hunt" on talk radio and FOX with a sprinkling of "what about all those angry black people that burnt down or looted a Target store?" poo poo thrown in. CNN is going to run SHOCKING REVELATIONS in Bold Headlines that are going to push Uvalde off their front page since it's been over a week and that completes that cycle until the next time. Democrats are going to do jack and poo poo about any of it and 3/4 of the Republican base are going to view the whole inserruction as a good thing since over 70% of their voters honestly believe the big lie while they label the 2 Republicans on the comittee as RINOS, now ripe for primarying. I don't think we're going to learn anything new. I watched it unfold in real time on live streams with no media filtering and already know what it was. I saw and heard it with my own eyes. I suspect we might get some bog standard right wing insanity being delivered on the floor, MGT or Gaetz style, that will make soundbites but we've already seen that that doesnt move the needle and in fact the GOP base actually loves it and believes all of it. Some rear end in a top hat (or several) are going to get up there and claim again that the election WAS stolen and defend these gravely concerned American Patriots. Maybe with a Jesus or Jefferson name drop. It's going to loving suck. But I figured I'd create a thread for it so as not to poo poo up all the other ones.

I mean, if 70% of the Republican base aren’t going to be swayed no matter what, then you still have 30% you can reach. That’s a lot of voters!

I know people say "Trump isn't the problem, just a symptom of it," but I think he's in the bottom 0.00001% of humanity in terms of total shamelessness. Even Nixon had a breaking point.

Silly Burrito just said it should be and that they aren't is indicative of their priorities. As far as I know, he isn't the government. Also, that's not what fascism means, lol.

It's authoritarian to suggest that they need to air a governmental hearing in order to be considered a legit news source. You can attack foxnews on other grounds, but don't say they have to follow marching orders & join the dozens of other outlets or they're not legit.
