Why are you even questioning whether the Jan 6 Committee is legitimate. Who gives a shit if ReTHUGs think so?
The fucking courts at every level have told ReTHUGs to hand over documents.
The communications companies have handed over the details of the coup.
Stop spreading ReTHUG misinformation for fucksake.
That is all.

(21,010 posts)ANYONE that questions the legitimacy, and especially someone with a ringside seat to January 6, of these proceedings has ulterior motives, and discerning the absolute truth is probably not high on the list.

(24,395 posts)He has to ask certain questions. The answer should have revealed that, yes, it is a legitimate investigation and that GOP complaints to the contrary are their own fault.
Lemire is the guy at Helsinki who asked Putin if Russia wanted Trump to win in 2016. Putin said, Da, and explained why. That was edited out of Trump WH transcript.
Lemire also asked Drumpf if he believed US Intel or Putin about election interference.
Who do you believe, Mr. President, Russia or your own intelligence agencies?

(21,010 posts)ANYONE or ANYTHING MEDIA that is even *suggesting* these hearings may be illegitimate is a piece of shit.
I am a fairly intelligent and informed kind of guy. Like many on this Website, I pay a good deal of attention to our political world around us. I watched January 6 from the very beginning of the media coverage. I saw it all.
Lemire saw it all also. He is an intelligent, educated man. So again...
ANYONE or ANYTHING MEDIA that is even *suggesting* these hearings may be illegitimate is a piece of shit, and their motives must IMMEDIATELY. BE. SUSPECT.

(53,214 posts)Perhaps he phrased it poorly? I didn't hear it so I can't really judge, but I'm inclined to think he was questioning whether republicans will view the hearings as legitimate.

(23,727 posts)Watched some FQX noise last night just to see if they were even mentioning the televised hearings,
they are sure promoting the fact the the Committee is illegitimate and it's Nancy Pelosi's fault.
Hope they lose a lot of viewers because of their disinformation.

(53,214 posts)over and over again all day long and you never learn anything new. Meanwhile, any real news will get sidelined in favor of endless opinions from people who don't know much more than we do.
although Lawrence is paying serious attention to the gun massacres
PatSeg
(53,214 posts)I'm to the point where I'd really like a little more actual news and not so much opinion. You can watch MSNBC all day and only hear the same 3 or 4 stories reported over and over again. If there is something major, it might only be ONE story. It was amazing that when Michael Jackson died, absolutely nothing else happened in the entire world for several days!
I do appreciate some expert opinions and commentary, but not as a substitute for news. It often feels like lazy filler.
