Wall Street Journal on Jan 6 hearings

It's unthinkable that anyone could ever want this narcissistic, selfish, ego-maniac in charge of anything more complicated than a hot-dog stand.
"it is impossible to overstate..." "undermined EVERYTHING that makes America great,"

No, it is not. You managed  to overstate in just a few sentences. The Dems hyped this up more than it actually was. They did not arm up, shoot the place up, and take over for a couple of days. And there are things that make America great that they did not undermine. They are many and do not need to be detailed. Shouldn't be any need to exaggerate Trump misdeeds.

We might need him. What are the odds abortion could increase turnout so much that they do not get stomped in Nov? Which I thought was a sure thing.
Any truth in the statement, "If Hillary would have campaigned in Wisconsin there would be 3 fewer cons on the court."
I cannot turn on the computer now without seeing some body writing that Obama lost a thousand seats during his presidency.
Not great for building his party.

What Jim Jordan says means squat, he's a liar just like your idol DJT.

I suppose the left is in charge of all media?
Yes! It must also be true that those people that refuse to answer on the grounds it would incriminate them must be guilty also. If they had nothing to hide why won't they answer? We need to start putting these criminals in prison where they belong!
These white collar criminals are some of the worst and they get off too easy. I am not even sure we should give them free lawyers. I have to pay, why shouldn't they have to pay? They probably spent a lifetime smoking Camels and drinking beer every day. Bet that was enough money right there. If it still isn't enough, how bout the money they waste on phones and COLOR tv.
And these men that get charged for messing with underage kids, if they are conservatives you know they are guilty. That is why they are REPUBS, trying to hide it!!

Dems knew if anybody stood up and said Hillary could lose to Trump they would be drummed out of the party. It was not possible that she could lose to the likes of him. She really was THAT good!

Is there another person the Dems have had a more unrealistic opinion of than Hillary? More than others I remember her being called the smartest person in the Dem party. But to non Dems she was thought to be less likable.

Do not be distracted. Today's bombshell account of Trump attacking his Secret Service should be enough to put him in the slammer. Finally. Thank God. And it would not have happened if the Dems would have allowed Republicans in the room that could have found a way make a mockery of today's proceedings.

Biden was able to show his ability as a chief executive when he made the Southern Border stronger, greatly enhancing our security. Stopping the steady flow of people from many countries and preventing Fentanyl from being such a problem. Thank God again.

Yes, he wanted so desperately to hang Pence and he made sure the police were scarce, hoping something so terrible would happen that people would not be able to talk of anything but him for decades.

I will say she used more qualifiers than most. Important conversations included the words "something to the effect of..."
She used it at least ten times. Big conversations. Not written down? Forgotten? Where are the notes?

"in the vicinity of a conversation where she overheard President Trump say something to the effect of, 'I don't care that they have weapons."

Because of this courageous woman and others like her, your attempt to hide the truth from the American people will fail. And to that group of witnesses, if you've heard this testimony today and suddenly you remember things you couldn't previously recall, or there are some details you'd like to clarify, or you discovered some courage you had hidden away somewhere, our doors remain open.
Courageous? She was an aide to Mark Meadows. Now she is a star. Magazine covers? Probably. TV shows? Invited and stars! Hollywood loves her and she had no job prospects lined up.
