Reminder: The Virginia GOP decided that Riggleman wasn’t Trumpy enough so they picked another candidate, Bob Good, to run for his seat in a primary convention.
Bob Good was apparently sufficiently Trumpy as his staff members were among those who attacked the Capitol.

Epilogue:

A) Trump’s new lawyer is Doug Collins
B) Collins’s first order of business is telling former Trump DOJ officials that they can’t testify for any Committees and he appears to think that Trump is still the President
C) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"People need to see that police officers go through horrible things, and Jan. 6 was a horrible thing for some of those officers," she said. "But, quite frankly, I find this whole Jan. 6 Commission, frankly, a dog and pony show. It doesn’t tell the whole story."

"Myself, like millions of Americans, sat there watching the testimony thinking, ‘Wait, where are the police officers who appeared – appeared – to let some of the protesters in?" she asked. "Where is the police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt? In fact, why aren’t we talking about Ashli Babbitt? I mean there’s so much more here."

Brantner Smith’s comments came the day after four law enforcement officers who responded to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol gave testimony to a House select committee about their experience.

Brantner Smith said those officers have been "politicized by Congress," and that while their stories are important, the American public also deserves to hear the stories of the "more than 2,000" men and women in law enforcement who were injured during last year’s violent protests.

She cited a poll last week by the NPA and Rasmussen Reports that found 66% of likely U.S. voters think Congress should investigate the riots spurred by Floyd’s murder last May.

"I want the American public to hear about that," Brantner Smith told Fox News. "And based on our survey, the American public wants to hear about that. They want to hear the testimony. You know, we have a Las Vegas police officer who is still paralyzed from the Black Lives Matter riots. We have thousands of police officers around the country who are retiring because of post-traumatic stress because of the riots.

Those boundaries look relatively sane. If you want to see gerrymandering at its worst, look nearby at the map for the Maryland 3rd Congressional district giving us Democratic Congressman Sarbanes.

It's not just the 3rd. MD is one of the absolute worst states. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th are all horrible distorted districts.

The wikipedia page has the districts shown.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland%27s_congressional_districts

That said, despite it being one of the worst offenders, it is true that it is virtually the only Democratically gerrymandered states. All of the other top offenders are gerrymandered to be Republican leaning. It's amazing how there are significantly more Democratic voters in the US and yet the Republicans have so much more state-held power.

21 gerrymandered red states to 1 blue state

But BoTHsIdEs!

It isn’t a puzzle at all. This is what republicans are all about. Democrats just don’t think the same way.

PP, it’s the only way Republicans can win.

The GOP questions generally tend to make a mockery of everything. There’s no point to it.

Thereby showing the world how despicable he and his cohorts and there would be some good footage of him being an asshole to show for the rest of his (hopefully) short career.

It hasn't worked in previous hearings. And it gives fodder to the right wing media echosystem. I am good with the somber proceedings, which is appropriate for a coup investigation.
