Ever watch 2020 on a Friday night? Or Dateline? What once used to be serious “news magazine” shows have devolved, like everything else in journalism, to a complete waste of time that exists only to manipulate your emotions and keep you watching. Every week, they’re reality murder mysteries where half way through you’re convinced (because producers manipulated you into believing) the killer is someone it’s not. By the end, the truth is revealed in a way that leaves you in shock. It’s as predictable as the setting sun. And so are Democrats.
When word came out this week that the January 6th committee – Nancy Pelosi’s inner circle of flying monkeys eager to do as much damage to Republicans as possible – had hired the former head of ABC News to “produce” their big prime time hearing tonight, I knew the only thing missing would be the melodramatic Keith Morrison voiceover.
The simple fact of the matter is the American people don’t give a damn about any of this. Was the January 6th riot good? Hell no. It was stupid. But was it a “threat to democracy”? Absolutely not.
There was no plan, no plot. To the extent that anything was coordinated it was between a couple of guys no one has ever heard of who, for reasons maybe someone should ask the FBI, did their best to stir people up. Creating an angry mob and getting them to do stupid things is pretty easy, Democrats spent a year leading up to the 2020 election doing just that. Does that mean it’s a plot to overthrow our government?
In the case of Democrats, maybe. They did sustain their attack until it was no longer needed, whereas the January 6th riot lasted a couple of hours. The majority of people who entered the Capitol that day did so on the Senate side, not the House side where the fighting was taking place. Having worked in that building I can tell you it’s huge and it’s easy to have zero clue what’s happening on the other side of it while you’re in it. As the small mob was breaking windows, more people walked in the Senate side through doors held open by Capitol Police. They even got directions to parts of the building from police so they could get the best selfies. There are police officers in Seattle and Portland still traumatized by Democrats trying to set them on fire with Molotov Cocktails and permanently blind them with green lasers who’d love to have had that kind of interaction with their mobs.
The American public has seen all of this footage for a year and a half and we’re unimpressed. That some self-important blowhard politicians might’ve been scared for a few minutes that day, or a couple of staffers had a few nightmares is irrelevant, honestly. Not a single Member of Congress or their staff was physically assaulted. If they were a blood thirsty mob looking to murder, they really sucked at it.
Punish the people who did fight with police or did damage the building, but everyone else should be treated like they are Democrats and be given a BLM/ANTIFA pass. The only person killed that day was Ashli Babbitt and the cop who killed her didn’t even face professional discipline, let alone charges. No matter how many times Joe Biden and other Democrats lie and claim police officers were killed that day it won’t make it true.
So when the left drag this waste of time and money into prime time, complete with dancing Liz Cheneys, no one cares. We’ve heard it all already, we’ve seen it all already. That these people are content, even proud, of Americans being held in solitary confinement for more than a year for the “crime” of parading on government property tells you more about them than any of those arrested. That two leftist lawyers could get sweetheart deal slicing off 90 percent of the jail time they were facing for trying to kill police in the name of BLM/ANTIFA “justice” while Americans who were simply in DC that day are harassed tells you everything you need to know about where the real “threat to democracy” is coming from.
To hell with the Democrats and their GOP puppets name Cheney and Kinzinger, to hell with the media coordinating an in-kind donation to carry a rehashing of a “nothing new” hearing live in prime time. We aren’t interested.
And spare us the lectures about “violent rhetoric” in a week that sees yet another progressive leftist arrested trying to murder a conservative. After a month of “They’re trying to rip away your right to an abortion, you must do something” and worse, one of their side took them literally and plotted to kill a Supreme Court Justice. MSNBC’s ratings decreased by one viewer, but their intensity turned up to 11. Finally, they have proof that someone is watching and their message is getting through. Maddow will just have to monologue harder next time.
Yeah, to hell with all of these people and their stupid hearing.
