Good day all! Once again I will step up to manage the "live threads" on behalf of Scrivener7, for what should prove to be a critical session tying in the literal RW supremacist "armies" that coordinated the attack on the U.S. Capitol and how they link back to the highest levels of the government under 45.
So sit back, grab your favorite snacks, and watch (or listen). Do also feel free to comment in the threads as there are many who cannot view or listen live but who will often come into the threads to get the gist of what is going on.
Like the previous 6 hearings, this one is again expected to last about 2 hours, and in this case, CSPAN3 has set aside 2, hours 30 minutes for the slot and will begin their broadcast at 12:45 pm EDT (CSPAN operates the cameras in Congress and the Committee rooms).
Here are some of the outlets that will be streaming live (and many of the OTA and cable news broadcast channels might also show portions or the entirety on TV along with streaming, as will some news print outlets and political organizations via their own streams) -

(28,979 posts)organize so your side tries to settle diff in ballotbox. Cant turn violent, harass or intimidate. Real leader responsible to stop that behavior. Admit defeat. Settle at ballot box. Electoral college chose. Biden elected yet Trump tells own supporters not true. Instead of admitting went opposite way.
Spurred mob to wage violent attack. Collegues to lay out story. Cheney. Raskin.
CHENEY: Cippilone testified as expected.
Dec 14 cert to Jan 6.
Initial Trump strategy deny and delay. Now they know committee est. clear facts. Changes the strategy now argument he was manipulated by others outside of a mind incapable of right and wrong. 76 year old man not an impressionable child. Responsible for actions.
No rational sane man excuse Trump. Legal team led by Rudy lacked evidence and knew it and went ahead with J6 anyway.
MURPHY: Lost to demo will of voters yet claimed otherwise. BIG LIE. Still people believe. Damaging corrosive to democracy.

jaxexpat
(6,885 posts)They did NOT leap up to the aide of the nation when it would have been so simple to do so. They did not volunteer their testimonies on January 7th, 2021, as most of their oaths of office would compel them to do. They, by their tepid and cowardly silences, were part of the coup attempt. None are heroes. They should be prosecuted for their "crimes of silence", the fact of which and the importance of which are being proven by this committee now. No attempted "victory by hedging their bets" should be allowed nor is stupidity, though plentiful, an adequate excuse.
If there were only a department responsible for enforcing laws which had the authority to deal with these miscreants. The coup is ongoing and when the "self-admittedly impotent committee" is finally exhausted, its gavel worn to a toothpick, it'll still be ongoing then too. Somebody needs to call the sheriff, at least before these guy's tell-alltobiographies go to print.

Chronologically, yes . . . mentally and emotionally, no . . . still very much a child.
He could not get his way with the White House staff, so, he threw a fit and called in the armed thugs. He's done it his entire life.

(307 posts)a good job with Ayers. I think Raskin's trying to show people how an ordinary guy can be fooled by the Big Lie and right wing social media, and how he turned it around. Asking him about lessons learned. This may have some effect on some of the many who still believe the Big Lie .
