I just watched John Wayne in the Shootist
John Wayne is ok
I watched a little of recorded Tucker, apparently fox was the only channel not showing the hearings. The reason he gave was that everything said at the hearings is a lie.
He feels sorry for the country.

Do you think the quote about Trump saying "Pence deserves to be hanged" (in reference to supports chanting to "hang Pence!) is accurate?
Aware of the rioters chants to ‘hang Mike Pence’, the president responded with this sentiment: ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea’. Mike Pence ‘deserves it.’

Look, it started out with Cheney reading a piece of a quote from Trump, trying to cast him in the worst light possible, leaving out the part where he told people to go home. IOW, it started at the bottom and stayed there. It's not bipartisan, it's a hit job on something only important within the Beltway. I don't think most Americans really care, and are more concerned with other things. It's all about wounding Trump, not helping America.
I think the spectacle may sway some in the middle, until they fill their SUV up the next time.

It's method acting for the history books, which are in fact being written, which identify Jan 6 as a legitimate coup attempt by Republicans - the political side of scary, racist, violent insurrectionists. The left will repeat the histrionic description of January 6 forever, and their long game is that that description will become all but fact. I think that's a realistic goal. At some point, you'll have to argue with "historians" like tribalist Timothy Snyder, and if you differ with them, you will be someone who is "ignorant of history", rather than someone who has a reasonable difference of opinion.
Education is extremely important.

When liberal politicians pander, they're getting cheers from the far left, because they're the most vocal. About everything. So it's an echo chamber.
The problem is, for every 1 echo chamber liberal out there, there's at least 1.5 pseudo-centrist, 1 rightie and 1 far rightie.
I wish them the best of luck with their propaganda and hope they keep doubling down. Gets us ever closer to the coming implosion.

OK, well, then, show me the 3.5 national news right-wing echo chambers on TV that are there for every 1 liberal one.
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

That's not the point. My point was, most Americans are not far-left. Which means politicians who pander to the far left and only the far left are screwing themselves. This shit's gonna come to a head and implode.

It already is. And the left, including my brother, are screaming bloody murder about the bill passed in Ohio to prevent biological men from competing in women's sports. I have long said that the LGBTQXYZQRST lobby's goal is not simply acceptance but endorsement.

Mik what do you attribute his indoctrination to?

Before Mik responds, I'm going to guess:
Spouse, profession or geographic location.

The long game of writing the history books and teaching future generations, is firmly in the left's sights, and increasingly in their hands.

Two out of three ain't bad. Profession (folk/bluegrass musician), and location (NE Ohio college town).
Some folks would gripe if you hung 'em with a new rope.

So, someone who would absorb and fully believe whatever it is he needs to in order to thrive professionally and socially. Normal. What they never understand, is that "principles" don't actually enter into it.

20M viewers. That's the major networks + most of cable.
