I'm so grateful to the Jan 6th committee. I'm sure that Trump loyalists will remain stuck, but these hearings give me a sense that there are trust-worthy public servants.
Drumpt knew he lost, why would he ask Georgia’s governor for 11, 800 votes? Apparently because he had a blind eye to it but he knew what numbers he needed to win. 😜🤪
Decided to watch fox since hearing ran there. Wow! What a different spin!!! Jonathan Turley 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ And most others! If fox isn’t convinced—their fan base won’t be either! Disheartening
Perhaps getting to see some of the hearing itself will help. I try to keep in mind that people stuck by Nixon until suddenly they didn't. His support evaporated quickly. But you're so right it's hard to reach people with analysis like that! Civic education really matters.
I wish I knew the answer to that one. I have a sister and brother-in-law who still believe the big lie. They are both intelligent, had high level jobs before retiring and yet still buy into the nonexistent voter fraud.
I thought everyone who testified today, on video or in person, was in the “normal” group. If Trump didn’t believe what these people were telling him about losing the election it wasn’t because they didn’t have the evidence. I don’t think he has a leg to stand on when denying the loss.
I’m not sure if I’ve heard anything yet that we didn’t already know as it was happening. Begs the question who are these hearings for? The DOJ, Americans who still believe Trump’s hooey, or we just assuaging the witnesses (not all of them but some) who are laundering their reputations?
I felt like I learned new specifics about the refutation of Trump's insistence he'd won, especially by Barr on Detroit & others at DOJ on Atlanta. I wondered if they'd communicated that directly to Trump and now we know there is evidence of it on videotape! But I'm interested in your view here—hope you'll continue to speak up, and let me know if I missed something.
One is never "stuck in Maine." wink
Heeeeee!

I am quite interested in the Fox News person. He is the one who called the Arizona election for Biden and apparently enraged Fox higher ups.
Great testimony!
I am very impressed with the hearing, and an open mind will learn a lot. I think they are making the case that the former guy knew that he did not win

That’s an excellent point Lisa. 11,800 votes is an oddly specific number. Obviously it was derived from Biden’s margin of victory.
Hope you have sufficient yarn 🧶 ♥️
I'm loaded for bear

I am of the opinion there are millions out there who will sadly continue to buy the big lie.
What do you think happened to them that they would fall for such blatant dishonesty?

It has to be something that is enticing! Wish we all knew what!!!

What reason/benefit/fear do you think may have driven John Eastman to go to such extremes to overturn the election and keep Trump in power?
Thank you Joyce! Here are my projects while I watch the hearings...postcards to voters and Miss May KAL
I just finished watching - had to use the old DVR! They did exactly that and more imho!
