Just reminded me I need to update my short list of countries I could immigrate to. Unfortunately, nearly all english speaking countries have a Murdoch problem, except Canada, which has a cold as shit problem.
There is Bermuda, but then again that has a mysterious triangle hide and seek problem.

The opening evening was quite good. I wasn't expecting it to be that well done. Could have been slightly paced faster at points but overall starting off very well.

Is Costa Rica English Speaking? I thought they were Spanish.

I was thinking about places I could also get an aerospace engineering job too, so that would pretty much take out Central America or the Caribbean.

Was talking to my sister about this last night, she has a family. We got into talking about how fucked this country is after she mentioned she could not believe they wanted to give teachers guns and could not even consider raising the age to buy semi-automatic guns to 21. She was just sick. I was like yes, this country is bad, the only thing good are some certain geographic areas, like where we are in NJ for one.

I said where would you want to go? We all have EU citizenship but she was thinking Costa Rica. Like totally changing lifestyles and go a bit rural. They are not city people though like me, more the very quiet suburban.

You'd have to look to Europe no?

It would be just a matter of time now before Trump's arrogance will cause him to end up having no one to look for help from.
as long as he has sway, Repubs will gladly drop to their knees and service him.
House Repub leader Kevin Mcarthy swallows every single drop and asks for more

Yeah right, have you seen how many people still believe in his lies? There will always be tools he can use for personal gain.

If the Jan 6th poeple were a bit smarter, they would form a class action suit against Fox, Newsmax and Trump. They have a solid case for how they were brainwashed and the damages they suffered due to the efforts of the media. The ones who showed up for this wasn't the smartest the right had to offer and easily fell prey to the stolen election message.

They're "entertainment" though...not news...so don't think they can really be held liable...?

The committee can't "sue" anyone.

First half was great. 2nd have was still good if you are interested in it. But sadly those that need convincing probably lost interest and track of what was being said in the 2nd half. Next one is at 10am or something like that and not prime time, if I recall? Again, interest from those that SHOULD be watching is going to tank.

Like others have said ... I wasn't planning on watching it, but did anyway. Very powerful opening to the process that made obvious, logical points about what went on. The new video was really disturbing as well.

Problem is I think this will end up as "preaching to the choir". Not sure anyone's mind will be changed over this. Not even with the testimony from Trump insiders that they knew it wasn't a fraudulent election.

They are just doubling down on their stupidity, the only victim of this dust-up was actually Ashlee Babbitt doncha know.

It would be helpful, if there is ever any hope of changing deeply brainwashed minds, to have some understanding of why people believe not what may be true, but what they feel they need to believe. That won't happen until some significant number of people have come to grips with why they themselves believe what they believe, become aware of what they actually do believe which is just different words for how they really feel. If nobody wanted to know, voila, I think we would be living in the actual world we are living and only imagine we would like to fix.

Jaskalas is the only person I’ve ever known who has come out of his brainwashing. I know how he got out but I don’t recall asking him how he got it (I think he just grew up in right wing culture).

But you are right, we need to know how people get sucked into cults and similar mentality.

What I was suggesting is that we all actually do not want to know because we all share a common feeling we do not want to know we feel, that we are worthless. It is a lie but because we won’t allow ourselves to feel it, we can’t change the fact it our unconscious belief we are motivated never to face. That needs to change.

I hope this take is accurate.

Importantly, Chairman Thompson told CNN the committee will detail contacts between groups like the Proud Boys and Trump's inner circle. “That is the sort of concrete evidence that goes directly to the question of seditious conspiracy,” one expert says:
Just as George Conway described LC’s opening remarks as a perfect criminal trial opening statement.

If DOJ doesn’t take this gift-wrapped case…

DOJ won’t do anything, they have been given multiple opportunities and passed on nearly all. The Administration is not the one to be rocking the boat, they’d much prefer everything just go back to normal.

Was this posted anywhere in this thread in the past 24hrs?

“The Unselect Committee didn’t spend one minute studying the reason that people went to Washington, D.C., in massive numbers, far greater than the Fake News Media is willing to report, or that the Unselects are willing to even mention, because January 6th was simply not a protest. It represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again,” Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social on Thursday.

“It was about an Election that was Rigged and Stolen, and a country that was about to go to HELL...& look at our Country now!”

How much widespread violence can be expected if Trump is actually indicted and arrested?

Like some small clashes and widespread protests or are we talking Rwanda Radio?
