Read the official election thread, it's full of information if you really want to know. I'm not doing your homework for you. I don't for a second believe that you are arguing in good faith.


Oh I watched the first two committee hearings. People who even dare to doubt now are experiencing a level of cognitive dissonance bordering on clinical.
So that makes you some kind of expert? This has all been known and debated since the start, and it was known what the narrative trying to be spun a year and a half ago. The highlighted part made me laugh, that you really think you are all knowing now.


If any thinking person watched them there is no other conclusion they could come to unless they are lying to themselves.


This is a committee made up of Democrats and Trump hating Republicans and the hearings were produced by a DNC propaganda outlet. They can craft a message to make it look like whatever they want. Any "thinking person" would recognize propaganda and a one sided show trial when they see it. This is Norko dear leader level propaganda. The election was conducted in highly unprecedented, unsecure and extremely shady methods (especially in the urban areas of swing states) and there's no covering that up. Nor can they cover up the hypocrisy of the Democrats crocodile tears for 1/6 while ignoring the swath of death and destruction caused by left wing rioters in 2020. You have to be a troll, there's no way you're on this site and as poorly informed as you appear based on your posts.


Except none of that is true. No real credible election expert or official agrees with you. There is no grand conspiracy. All of these officials aren't lying. Your rhetoric is similar to those who questioned the patriotism or honesty of the individuals on The Warren Commission.

The committee's witnesses are made up of Trump's own cabinet, campaign heads, and supporters.

Bill Stepien - campaign manager
Jason Miller - campaign senior advisor
Bill Barr - US AG
BJay Pak - US AG for Atlanta
Jared Kushner
Ivanka

All of whom confirmed Trump was making up his Big Lie of election fraud.

This is only step one in the "seven-part plan" the committee is laying out in their hearings. Your comment implies acceptance of step one. That is good.

    So we didn't have mass mail in ballots, unsecured drop boxes, illegal election law changes, and organizations like CTCL that donated more money per urban voter than rural voters in swing states with clawback provisions dictating the handling of the election? How about news organizations and social media companies suppressing negative stories about Biden while promoting stories about Trump they knew were untrue? All of those are verifiable facts and no credible election expert would disagree. Anyone solely relying on Trump or his organization to provide them with information about the election is a low information voter. Your assumption that claims of election fraud were dependent on Trump's claims show how poorly informed you really are. Your primary source of information is a committee made up exclusively of habitual liars and scum bags.

The witnesses are Trumps children and his cabinet.

    They lose any and all credibility the instant they refer to a riot as a "domestic terrorist attack". How can you not see that they people are lying and grossly exaggerating the circumstances? These people were in the wrong and broke the law, but to call them domestic terrorist is a little bit of a stretch. If you consider their actions to be domestic terrorism and you don't consider the actions of BLM and Antifa domestic terrorism, then you are a hypocrite.

    LOL. Committee has canceled their Wednesday session and re-scheduled for Thursday (tentatively).

    Not sure what that truly means. Could be they were tipped off that Dobbs will be released on Wednesday and they don't want to be drowned out. Could be the ratings are so bad that the networks are balking. Maybe a witness issue?

    Anyway, having a TV news producer scripting the hearings is back firing, bigly. Instead of dropping the big gotcha right up front, they just kept hinting that they have one coming, so stay tuned. American public was quickly bored and refused.

    That would cover it. It is ostensibly for purposes of corrective legislation, or at least it has that plausible cover. That's not unusual for a congressional hearing from either side. They seem to have ignored a lot of the things they claim to be reviewing. I don't see a lot of key players in the events of the day having been called in for deposition in all these long months of this committee.

    They can't.

    Unless there is some rando like Alexander Butterfield to reveal a secret White House taping system like in Watergate catching Trump talking in the Oval on January 6th, there's not a lot to go on.

    Early on, some reporters tried to make a big deal about the White House switchboard not showing a lot of calls on Jan 6th. But Trump doesn't use the landlines often anyway, so that fizzled.

    I've given you the source of evidence, but you're clearly too lazy to research it yourself. It's not my problem if you choose to remain ignorant, which is clearly the case. There's a lot more to ballot harvesting and box stuffing than counting late ballots.

    Again everything that happened in this committee is a one sided portrayal of events and that includes questioning witnesses. If the Democrats wanted this committee to have ANY credibility then they shouldn't have rejected the Republican members that they knew would question their narratives. They didn't want a committee that used opposing sides to get to the bottom of the truth. They wanted a show trial using selected members of congress that could produce sound bytes to sway the minds of low information voters.

    This committee is similar to a grand jury hearing where a prosecutor presents evidence without any rebuttal or even the presence of a defense attorney. It could be used to create an indictment but has not been scrutinized by opposition at all. A trial where exculpatory evidence can be produced by defense council and witnesses will likely tell a very different story.

    Would you think you would be fairly portrayed if your greatest enemy got to put on a public hearing to tarnish your image using only their witnesses and their evidence, with no chance for you or your representations to rebut their claims or produce evidence and witnesses to counter their arguments? You know the answer to that question, is no, but you won't answer it or you'll try to spin it.

    You won't get banned. You have bling. I am just pointing out that the lie that police officers died should stop.

    You are right one is too many. Maybe the cops shouldn't have shot an unarmed person but like I said I have no problem with it. Just with Macys would have done that the other day. We need to start doing it.
