[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what is the reason we should watch a hearing on an unpopular ex president?[/quote]
Holding the perpetrators of an attempted coup accountable is the bare minimum requirement for maintaining representative democracy. Every issue is important: Covid, the economy, health care, education, climate change, military power, and on and on…but we don’t have any say at all in how any of these issues are handled if we no longer have a democracy. The convergence of corruption at the highest levels, the MAGA cult of personality, and domestic terror groups posed/poses a grave threat to our country — the kind of threat Congress should be addressing.

Even if Trump is never President again, the Republican Party has been working diligently to rig the election apparatus in red states. They haven’t stopped attempting a coup; they’re just going about it more gradually.

You don’t have to watch if you don’t want to, but we all benefit from an informed electorate. If you don’t understand the importance of this investigation and its public airing, you are not informed.[/quote]
This.

But the kind of proud ignorance is where the GOP is right now. Completely wrong but convinced of their correctness. [/quote]

Radical/progressive/gadfly here: pull your heads out of your a-holes and start engaging people’s actual problems. Fighting cartoon villains is pathetic.[/quote]
Crack a newspaper once or twice and observe that the Democrats have. Read further and observe that the GOP is actively creating more problems - expensive insulin, anyone? Veterans without healthcare, anyone?

You’re not a gadfly. You’re just annoying and spouting right wing lines. [/quote]

Wildly better idea: seek out inputs beyond conventional sources. Engage all information, especially that from the powerful, with as much critical capacity as you have.

Stop being so slavishly loyal. It’s always a path to failure![/quote]
We don’t need your lecture about using non conventional sources to obtain news because we’re using the [b]primary[/b] source. We know more about the insurrection than you do because we’re witnessing the testimony of people who have insider knowledge and are sharing that knowledge under penalty of perjury. I’m not relying on someone else to characterize what a witness has said; I’m listening to the witness’s own testimony under oath. You’re never going to get a source more accurate than that.[/quote]

Lol…you’re clueless enough to call it primary source knowledge of an insurrection. I’m pretty sure if it’s a crime, it’s sedition, not insurrection.

Once again, my lazy interlocutors show themselves to be Doubly Credulous, Unrepentantly Moronic.[/quote]

Eyewitness testimony is a primary source. Why does that trigger you?[/quote]
