The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Kabuki theater.
And Cheney is rapidly becoming the most hated woman in the Republican Party. I really don't know what she is trying to accomplish.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I think there's still a constituency of people who want integrity in politics.
Liz seems to at least advocate for those ideals. (I dunno if she lives up to them behind closed doors).
I like that people like her exist. It's clearly not in her political interest to advocate what she's advocating for. She's not angling for a democrat job.

Yep. I listened to a lot of it the other day. It was totally scripted to appeal to emotion rather than fact. And it all falls flat in the face of their support of rioters last summer. The only thing that is really different is the venue.

She's still got a way to go before she breaks the glass ceiling of the most hated person in the Republican Party.

Again, I'm NOT defending these asshats. The emotional aspects of the riot seem to cloud judgment when it comes to actual law.
What are the charges against the 500 or so who have been arrested (and, 7 months later, still incarcerated)?

The first two (of 74) pages of charges seem to mostly refer to entering restricted grounds, disorderly conduct, violent entry, obstruction of official proceedings, and interfering with police.
You know what words don't appear?
Riot. Sedition. Overthrow. Traitor.

The guy who pled guilty (Hodgkins) to a felony got 8 months. I wonder if he got credit for time served.
Meanwhile, a BLM guy who punched a police officer in the face, requiring surgical repair - released on his own recognizance.

One person with integrity is pointless in a snakepit.

If she was pointless, she wouldn't be attracting so much attention.

She's a useful idiot.

Officer Dunn said a woman in a pink MAGA shirt called him the “n” word. That should be easy to find in the 14,000 hours of tapes and videos of the melee that day. It’s too bad that Capitol Police officers weren’t wearing body-worn cameras on January 6. It would make it easier to determine if the officer—who is a notorious Trump-hating partisan who cheered on the Kenosha riots and called the January 6 protesters “insurrectionists” and is on a first-name basis with congressional select committee members—is telling the truth.
But if “white nationalism” is what differentiates noble from ignoble riots, then let’s see some proof.
Release the videos

At least they get to sing God Bless America from their solitary confinement prison cells every night before lights out. When looking at the charges against them, it becomes very evident that the Biden Administration has turned them into political prisoners. We just haven't gotten to the show trials.
Yet.
If I was the GOP, I would start running campaign ads in select districts, pointing out that equal justice under the law no longer exists. And I would take that hammer and swing it again and again, painting the Dens as freedom-hating, fear mongerers, who no longer believe in the Constitution.
