1. I noticed the shift in cable news months ago,

it's why I stopped watching, except for Nicolle, Chris, and Rachel. It's too frustrating to watch morning cable.

There never was going to be a bipartisan commission. I can't see 10 GQP Senators voting for it. Speaker Pelosi needs to go it alone, form a panel and get down business.

uninvestigated. The GOP-lead House investigated Benghazi and Hillary's emails over and over and over so there's already a precedent for the House forming it's own select committees. And she's couldn't care less if the Senate comes along or not.

This bipartisanship is just a dream of hers and Bidens', not ever going to happen with todays GQP that actively are trying to destroy America and implement an oligarchy. Nancy needs to hold public hearings, subpoena and call who needs to be called, go into the planning and show for a fact the traitors in Congress who colluded with the rw military types to overthrow the government. That is what is needed since repugs are almost all in on treason.

8. I doubt subpoenas will be answered and will have to go though the courts

I’m thinking that was one reason it hasn’t started yet. I’m sure they are trying to figure out how to convince people to show up for the date when receiving a subpoena.

4. Tapper wouldn't comment on Florida Blogger's NY criminal case just now on CNN.

He said he'd wait until actual charges were announced. Even as a guest, he won’t report anything that might upset wingnuts these days. He even got an insulting dig in about Berman's days in Hasty Pudding. Berman &Keilar couldn't help smirking at Tapper.

Two shows I don't watch are Jake Tapper and Cuomo Primetime. I turn on Rachel Maddow during Cuomo Primetime which is the only show I watch on MSNBC.

period.

which is why (you've heard this before) we turned it all off 12 years ago. I don't want to support that bullshit.

He acted like the GOP's desire to investigate BLM along with January 6th was a "substantive" disagreement on the scope of the commission.

I turned it and didn't turn back.
