I don't have much interest in the whole thing to be clear, the updates I have gotten have come through some independent news podcasts.

Lol. So when should they hold the hearings? In the daytime, when no one except slandered people can watch, or at primetime, when it’s clearly for ratings. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

For the record, most of them have been during the day time. You would know that if your “independent news podcasts” (let me guess: Ben Shapiro and similar) actually informed you of anything.

So...just because this person doesn't know when every single hearing is scheduled, you assume he or she is a ben Shapiro fan/R. got it. I actually think it proves that they aren't tracking the trial, as they mentioned. I guess you have your reasons for jumping to your conclusions.

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.

This.

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

Radical/progressive/gadfly here: pull your heads out of your a-holes and start engaging people’s actual problems. Fighting cartoon villains is pathetic.

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.

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!

You mean like passing meaningful legislation to improve people’s lives? Great news! That’s happening concurrently.

Not guaranteed to pass the House now. Keep up.

Cool.

Dick Cheney and the bankers responsible for 2008 really appreciate your ignoring them for small fry. Why are you all so stupid?

It's a little late to have hearings on Dick Cheney now, don't you think?
