The #January6thCommittee was not politicized. (1/4)
thehill.com/homenews/senat…
Though they are slightly more vocal about January 6th and the role of the former commander-in-chief in the insurrection, the Senate GOP still needs to stop calling the committee politicized. (2/4)
Especially when Stephanie Murphy and Liz Cheney were at odds at how far to probe other factors. Likely there were other disagreements about how far to go into the GOP's institution. (3/4)
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
Some of Cheney's view won out in the end and the committee still did impactful work. However, the Senate GOP calling it a politicized effort and trafficking in this lie is not helpful and just false. (4/4)

From his lack of transparency around disclosing his taxes to his willed attempt to subvert democracy (especially when there were other things to do: like mitigate a pandemic), Trump was extraordinarily unfit for the presidency and America paid the price. (1/4) #January6thReport
Our chain of peaceful power transfers is broken and a rabidly anti-democratic movement coalesces around a stab in the back myth rooted in Trump intentionally lying. The harm this era did to Americans, our country, and our democratic institutions can't go understated. (2/4)
There was also a MAGA structure filled with "good Republicans" who said nothing or actively pushed Trump's willed and corrosive lies. That is an indictment on the Republican Party of this time. (3/4) #January6thReport

George Stephanopoulos: "I simply don't understand why can't you condemn his praise of Vladimir Putin."
On the panel at the end of the show, Sarah Isgur defends Tom Cotton as "showing differences that he had with Trump in terms of policy."
She also says McConnell and Pence broke with Trump at a "higher level."
Us lower people get the cruel hypocrisy.
The Republicans should take some personal responsibility and blame themselves for Donald Trump's anti-American hostile takeover of their party.

Leo Terrell on Fox is just abhorrent to me, he blames African American leaders for crime in cities which can be done and be a topic of discussion if he wanted to actually have it. I grew up in Baltimore and knew people from all walks of the city’s life.
He doesn’t discuss how a long history of sending people away to be dehumanized for petty offenses and never come back the same. Does he care to discuss the Central Park Nine? If he wants to increase incarcerations and heighten bails then does Leo 2.0 have a solution for rehab?
Leo Terrell yells about incompetent Black people for the Fox audience without wanting to actually have a nuanced and detailed discussion of the complex world of American metropolises abandoned by tax bases and the preferred identity group after policies segregating populations.

Fox News just not mentioning the Supreme Court nomination yet like the piece of shit anti-American trash it is.
Unbelievable, I shouldn’t be watching this trash today but @DanaPerino says they don’t want to talk about politics right now (while ignoring the SCOTUS nomination) but talks to @lh_carter about bad Biden poll numbers. It’s such spiteful trash with no self-reflection.
So far, Fox only mentioned the SCOTUS nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson briefly in a correspondent report. And the politics talk of the hour has been on bad Biden poll numbers despite that happening before. No sane person sees this as nothing other than insulting propaganda.

President Joseph Biden selects Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be his nominee for the Supreme Court.

I am happy to have an administration that sees people like me and my sister as human beings with an equally important history in this country that deserves representation.
Now I wait for the disgusting Republican attacks on how this is racism by Black people (essentially what they are saying) and how they hate doing things outside of their purview like helping people vote and have health care.
That’s the state of America with the Reagan-Trump-McConnell GOP.

It’s all the same and it all deserves to be put in the same destructive box of modern GOP dereliction of duty and treason.

Most of my life White conservatives have talked to me about politics and public problems as if I’m biologically predetermined to act a certain way or think a certain way. It’s very obvious and hurtful and makes sense why their discussions of race today are so demeaning.
Certainly not all, but most.
America’s best parts can be charted through the history of marginalized populations creating more opportunities for suffrage, health care, and socio-economic equity. What modern American conservatism has become is anathema and offensive to that.
