[Pom]

Gather up your popcorn, wine and/or whiskey. It’s almost time for tonight’s installment of Insurrection alley.

A little song to kick it off.

[Pom]

Chair Thompson has Covid so virtual but looks and sounds good. Thank goodness.

“The dam has begun to break” Vice Chair Liz Cheney.

I am (excited? Intrigued?) that they will have more hearings in September.

[bronxgirl]

I've been looking forward to this all day.

Why wait until September? Do they think they will uncover more?

I think they have so much additional info coming in, they need addition time to go through it and prepare.

The proverbial damn breaking has brought forward so much more that they are taking August to review and compile to present more info to the Public.

I planned my entire week around this damn hearing and still had something run over so I am trying to catch-up on the first 30 minutes!

[shopgirl07]

These hearings are so well done. Appointment television.

[AAM2012]

Legit crying hearing that these people were saying goodbyes to their families on their radios….

And yet, crickets from Pence.

Josh Hawley’s escape footage was not on my bingo card but I’m here for it.

Yes! I feel like he’s floated under the radar lately so wheel’s up motherfucker!

I cackled.

[bernsteincat]

This smug asshole sounds just like my students when they get to read a swear word in a book aloud.

[Bad Dingo]

Isn't the term 'go to the mat'??

Dummy.

He's mixing metaphors I think. In The Godfather, they go to the mattress when the family goes to war with another, they go to a hideout where mattress are laid on the floor, since no one is going home to sleep.

[Pom]

Well the trumps all think they are mob figures. Instead, they are tough like Runaway Hawley.

Dammit. I'm sad I missed this real time.

[Velar Fricative]

I hope someone else on Twitter set the Hawley clip to the Benny Hill song.

I still can’t believe how close we were to, well, horror.

[bears]

Holy shit at these outtakes.

Oh the Benny Hill thing is happening. You are right it was so close. Insane.

[AAM2012]

Omg the Trump video and the editing to what they actually released….mind blowing.


Also, why was he swaying so much?

[Velar Fricative]

Omg this Twitter thread shows him running against all the greatest hits. I’m dying.

[AAM2012]

Fuck McConnell and his back pedaling after the facts and videos that continue to come out…

[bernsteincat]

I know we get so easily distracted by things like this, but here’s a clip of the hearing room when the Hawley clip aired:

[Pom]

All of this, the GOP videos, clips, footage, depositions must be sending tfg into a rage. The hearings, practically in their entirety, are his party, his staff, advisors, supporters. Is it a witch-hunt when all the evidence and testimony is from your own coven?

[Pom]

Finally, the point. The national security is damaged by this entire shitshow of trump’s doing. It feeds the narrative that democracy doesn’t work, exactly what Russia et al, were hoping for when they installed him.
