Yes. Also, why did you put hearings in quotation marks?
 
I'll be watching the hearings, yes.
 
I might. We are going to a street festival now, so depends on when I get back. Then again, I don't need convinced. I know what Trump and his allies did.

I voted NO!

My answer: I likely won't, simply because I consider it political theater on a par with McCarthyist 1930 -1950's "House Un-American Activities Committee."

McCarthyism: "a mid-20th century political attitude characterized chiefly by opposition to elements held to be subversive and by the use of tactics involving personal attacks on individuals by means of widely publicized indiscriminate allegations especially on the basis of unsubstantiated charges." https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/McCarthyism

Why not? Does it bother you that people believed the big lie, tried to kill Mike Pence, and stop the certification of our election system?

LOL!

It doesn't even bother me that YOU believe all that nonsense.

However, I know a partisan committee with a pre-set goal to sell a narrative like the one you spout, and use that narrative for political gain when I see one.

IMO there will be little truth, but a lot of accusation, speculation, and character assassination. :coffee:

You started this thread just to tell us that? Why not "definitely" won't? You're giving yourself an out.

Both statements are false. Partisan? It's split down the middle between Republicans and Democrats. People do believe "the Big lie" and these people were trying to harm Mike Pence and overthrow the election results. These are facts my friend.

It will be like a move that we had heard all the spoilers for.

We will only lean some details of who did what to try to pull off the coup.

All selected by Pelosi instead of traditionally by the leader of the majority and the leader of the minority.

I could go down the list of Democrat picks starting with Adam Schiff, who literally lied about "evidence" of collusion when he was the Chair of the Intelligence Committee during the Trump Presidency. But they are all clearly obvious to anyone who truly views them with an objective eye.

As for the Republicans? Hand picked by Pelosi again who denied the Minority leader's selections in favor of those Pelosi preferred. I point to Liz Cheney as a RINO, and the rest follow in her footsteps.

No one believes "the big lie," because there was no "big lie." That is your sides view of how things were, and that is obvious by your rose-colored glasses view of the goals of this committee.

I have already argued your assertions in other threads.
 
I most likely will. I don't agree with the Democrats about this, but I am open to hearing what their argument is. I am persuadable if they can produce evidence that supports their position.

Aw, c'mon, Mr Barr is an extremely honorable person that you can totally trust. </sarc>

It will be interesting to see how much editing of the hearing videos is done by certain media outlets, so they can support their claims about those Democraps just doing this show to attack the Greatest President Evah!!
