Nothing to see here folks

Post by Whistler » June 10, 2022, 8:52 pm

Today, I was only slightly gobsmacked about the first Congressional release of its findings about Jan 6.

- The findings were well presented and well documented.
- While 2 Republicans were on the committee, it was not bipartisan, most Republicans resisted any investigation into the events of that day.
- This is the first of several public releases of findings
- Based on the evidence presented, Trump has been accused of criminal conduct to subvert the US constitution, and actually supported the view that the VP should be lynched. Not arrested for wrongdoing, not put on trial, but lynched by an angry mob.

Apart from totalitarian nations, this would probably be enough for Trump to be charged and arrested. I very much doubt this will be the case for Trump, he will probably die before being subject to the snail-like process of the law.

- Fox News would not broadcast the findings.
- New York Post lead story was inflation, the findings were number 10 for leading articles
- Austin American-Stateman, no mentioned
- Chicago Tribune, lead story
- CNN, number 2 story
- LA Times, lead story
- Phillyvoice, no mention
- Miami Herald, no 2, local restaurant rankings topped

My point, no matter what the facts, Americans have an entrenched view, 55 per cent think the election was rigged and no amount of factual evidence will change that view.

Move on, move on. Nothing to be seen here.


I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

Fox news went over an hour with no adverts ....... must have been frightened their sheep may get tempted to change channels during the ads and get a dose of reality instead of their drip fed lies and fake info
