The live January 6 hearings on TV right now are already very powerful. Definitely worth watching. Important.

It’s a distraction from 40 million food insecure Americans, cops killing three people per day, increased military spending, millions of homeless children, school lunch program ended, stagnant wages, price gouging, unaffordable gas prices, daily oil spills & Supreme Court rulings!

I don’t think it’s distracting anyone from any of those things.

You really think people with 40 mile commutes paying 6 bucks for gas out working 12-14 hours per day are rushing home to watch this bs that will lead to absolutely nothing? You are so out of touch

True, because no one with real problems is watching this crap about some cops letting a bunch of dudes into Congress to take selfies two freaking years ago and the subsequent freakout by rich libs like you like it was the MLK assassination or something.

Sounds as if you've never read Manufactured Consent. The point of this trial is to showcase that there are "bad people" & b/c of said "bad people" the powerful will have to b/c more authoritarian.

It’s getting nonstop coverage while these topics aren’t. This hearing will achieve nothing for millions of Americans. Who was in danger? Politicians & cops, who have OUR blood on their hands. The ruling class doesn’t need more protection from the people. They should fear us MORE!

Well your not thinking enough. This is what always happens…. How about health care how about the war? How about the declining standard of living. Maybe next time it won’t just be crazy delusional republicans for the wrong reasons. It will be US ALL for the right reasons

Marriage the blue MAGA crowd and their leaders hate you. Stop being lied to by them.

It's clearly intended to distract from those things. It's slickly produced and promoted as must-see tv. Even H Clinton is encouraging people to watch - why? Distraction from utter failure.

Marianne, to care about these hearings you gotta first believe in the illusion of American democracy. It’s no coincidence that the only people that jerkoff to the founding fathers nonsense are people that are materially very comfortable. The rest of us know it’s a lie.
