True she's amazing been a follower since she's been in the house. Her and Elizabeth Warren were my choice for 2020 maybe 2024?

100 percent.

Indeed. America wouldn't be so messed up if they had enough people like her.

Based on your comment, you have not seen the hearings.

I agree the Democratic Party should take lessons from Porter. But the Democratic leadership, and the Party's consultants, will be very reluctant to have her run in 2024. The excuse they'd likely go with is she's not experienced enough, which is code for being too tenacious and progressive on policy. This is unfortunate, because I think she'd have among the best chances in 2024 of any Democrat in Washington today. Warren and AOC have far more name recognition, but fairly or unfairly, they've been tied to "wokeism", which could be an issue in winning enough independents. Porter would have a head start in that department, and that's relevant when the go-to talking point for Republican candidates is woke culture. I remain cynical that Biden runs again and easily wins the primary in 2024.

Every time he went, “Fifth!” …shameless.

@Nick yep. Shook me too !

The DOD doesn't seem to be under Biden's control... Wouldn't we be boots-on-the-ground in Ukraine if it was? It's also interesting that Flynn's brother's promotion to Commander of US Army Pacific wasn't waylayed by Biden, and that Ezra Cohen Watnick still chairs the PIDB.

If that shook you, you just haven’t been paying attention to the current Republican Party, and in fact, politics in general coming to a head over the past few decades.

No cheeseburger for YOU!

Kinda wonder how common a trait "throws food when Mad" is, as well as when it started or its Persistence as a personality trait. Like, if you had a candid conversation with a food thrower's Parents, would they just say "yeah, they've been throwing food since before being able to talk in words?"

Same guy who beat his wife because his hair plugs hurt, then pulled a chunk of her hair out, raped her and asked her the day after "How's it feel?"

Considering how many blank page props Trump used and how seemingly off the cuff his speeches seemed, I doubt it. Besides the rally did that enough and likely the multiple speakers were there to spread the message and prevent one person taking all the blame for riling up the crowd. If there is a speech for that moment then it is a long shot.

I don't think there was a speech written down because Trump can barely read and write. He doesn't like Teleprompters for that reason. Too much work. Easier to wing it.

At work I saw Democrats cheer the protesters. These rich lip-flappers don't understand that the working class from BOTH parties despise Congress & would love to see the Capitol burn (with surviving members & Nancy Pelosi marched to the guillotine.)

hearsay is not admissible in court. So what noise did he cut through? Whats funny is Maxine Waters has called for violence, harassment and intimidation but not one of the leftist news papers has called her out for it. My point. wake the f up.

i agree with you, Hillary will be great

@@aaronday7537 No that is true. The statement about what Trump said before he made his speech, she was in the room. And that is the most damning evidence she gave. Trump knew that there were weapons in the crowd and Trump didn't care because the people with those guns weren't going to hurt him. He was just fine with them hurting or killing his enemies and cops.

Hearsay? like that matters.

@@MikeA15206 The law of evidence also allows hearsay evidence to be admitted in a trial if the judge decides that evidence is necessary and reliable.

That is true that situation car doesn’t matter. Every other testimony today babe there was someone as a person listening. It was more than one person in the room and the testimony has to match her simple as that and it did and it did it did it did it did those are the important issues of this whole testimony she should be commended for her testimony to be that brave and brought the whole damn world. What does she have to hide? She has her whole life she was thinking of doing things right set up to be the fall girl

I was about to say. Then again, these are media personnel and never claimed to be legal experts. Maybe they meant that any trail that relies on hearsay doesn't look good in the media?

Just curious is this quote attributed to someone or some entity specifically?

Religion isn't about arguing using facts or logic. If they can they will and that's nice but if they can't they don't care and will assert that facts and logic are insignificant when it comes to matters of the divine.

@@nickhewes6860 Yeah we all saw it.

But now they have to get correlative testimonies, that's the point of this, it's an investigation not a trial, she opened up a gap for the committee to exploit and a direction to do more interrogation, and eventually it opens up more and more. As Stewart said, Trump is loosing his utility, more and more he's less and less useful to those that were on his team.

Yup. My brother and several of my college friends were right in there. One of them still has his Jan 6th photo in front of the capitol as his FB profile pic.

But you only care about groups that you don't like or support. There have been a number of groups over the years to even include the rioters who stormed the Department of the Interior Building in 2021, The Weather Underground, and oddly enough Stephen Colbert's comedy troupe that wanted to harass members of congress for laughs. Violence at the capital is not something any group can take as their invented MO. It is all disgusting and it should be treated the same way whether you like that group's ideology or not.

@@tobybigham4196 "Should all be treated the same way". I call bullshit. There is a HUGE difference between a comedy show doing a bit and a group intent on hanging the vice president. But derp derp...should be treated the same. 🙄

I saw a report by the FBI that white supremacist groups increased by something crazy like 100% when Obama was elected. Trump (a lifelong Democrat) simply saw that outrage and knew to monetize it, and lead the dipshits so he could crown himself, the ultimate ego stroke. He knows a sucker when he sees one. He is one big con, period. I can't believe people believe him....blows my mind grown people are that gullible.

The violence aka mostly peaceful protests from the burning cities the previous woke summer were all justified. You're not biased or brilliant are you???

Guess what? That’s exactly what is going to happen if Trump doesn’t run.

I agree. Does anyone really think Merrick Garland will do anything? The hearings need to damage Trump just enough so that he cannot win in 2024.

And afterwards, when Trump is not charged with any crimes, then what?

@@Weaponator18 The DOJ has already indicated they are looking at criminal charges (following this hearing) for Trump.

When you want people to take you seriously and think you have great ideas, slow down when making your points, speak in a calm, collected, confident and deep voice, overenunciate your words, and make a lot of eye contact. Just listening through this episode, I didn't hear any unique or genius points. I did hear very different communication styles though. Many liberal talk show hosts have already made the same points about how the "game changing" part of Hutchinson's testimony was that Trump knew there were armed people in the crowd, and still sent them down Pennsylvania Avenue, and now we're waiting to hear if anyone will testify that Trump sent them there as a "Plan B".

Jon has been sorely missed ever since he was kicked out from his brilliant show. Fact.

Stweart Leibowitz is a dairy farmer now. BW AH AH AH, so he can get his land assessed for cheap.

I agree. He and his crew of writers and producers started this whole genre of comedic news reporting with a bit of help from Saturday Night Live.

He’s still perfectly manipulated by his cia handlers.

TheHunterofWarriors, I would like to propose something that aligns with your post. Jon is BRILLIANT! As Jon was explaining the 'end game', of how the Establishment HATES Orange Anus 45, and they want to replace him with Ron Desantis, I had an epiphany. Think about this.... There is a deal. A deal has been struck between Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch McConnell. The deal is the Democratic party gets to take a free run at taking down Orange Anus 45. Think about it. It's a win-win deal for both political parties. Democrats get to make their base voters THRILLED, while the Rethug Criminal Cartel gets to blame Democrats for taking down Orange Anus 45. The Redhat Cult will NOT be angry with the Rethug Criminal Cartel. Which perfectly segues to the Rethug Criminal Cartel ushering in Ron Desantis to "save the day", and to be the shiny new object for the 2024 Presidential election. If Orange Anus 45 is in prison, he cannot run for re-election. Deal of the millennium.

@@darthbrandon2149 Anything is possible, although I think the Dems are mostly good at political theater which these hearings are. I'm not sure they are smart enough to have a long game plan. But I LOVED your naming of the Trumpers as the RedHatCult and the RedHatCriminalCartel. So funny. I appreciate a good laugh. We sure the hell need them to get us through this shite.

@@marykayryan7891 Thank you for responding. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying "Democrats are brilliant strategists" ... oh, hell no! Democrats SUCK at political strategy. The Democrat's idea of political strategy is "Orange man bad, send us money!". What I am saying is this whole thing looks like a Rethug Criminal Cartel hit job. Putting the most cunning of their political creatures front and center in the "show of the century", Liz Cheney. I am not saying Democrats came up with the plan to rid the Rethug Criminal Cartel of their monster. I am saying the Rethug Criminal Cartel cut a deal with the Democratic Establishment. And the Rethugs are running the show. Destroy Orange Anus 45. Introduce Ron DeSatan as the "party savior" in the 2024 presidential election. Did you know Joe Rogan endorsed Ron DeSatan? Do you think there is any coincidence the #1 podcaster that reaches more male Redhats that anyone on the planet endorsed Ron DeSatan? Just watch Fox NOT News. Eventually, you will hear Cucker Tarlson and Shammity praising Ron DeSatan. It's coming soon.

yeah literally nothing will happen

Well I think that is about election fraud but her testimony goes to the willful incitement of violence part.

Yes, and implying that Raffensperger would be *prosecuted* if he didn't comply. If Fani Wilson (Fulton County DA) can't manage to a charge stick on that, nothing will stick.

Did he say steal, forge or make up 11,000 votes? No, he said find. That means he knew these lying democrats were hiding and throwing away votes for him.

@blacksunrisen "the world found out that she made it all up." That sounds plausible, where did you read or hear that?

@blacksunrisen no she wasn't known as a liar where did you get that crap ?now Trump he's been known to be a liar thousands and thousands and thousands of times. You think for one second Liz Cheney would put her on the stand if what she said couldn't have been backed up?

​@blacksunrisen "Thats why democrats do things in Committees and not in court." The reason they have the committees (just like the republicans and benghazi) is to get enough testimony for a court. True, the democrats suck at this kind of thing but that's why they should learn from Liz Cheney. Some of what Hutchinson says is hearsay, but a lot of it is actual conversations she was part, meaning not at all hearsay. Plus, I don't see how her story is at all ridiculous. Whether it's all true or not, it is totally believable for anyone awake that trump would act that way. He's been an infamous scammer since the 70's.

@@sodarndonestopthelies6514 Yes, the committee did put her on the stand, without her story being backed up. Now they have to call another witness, to discredit their star witness testimony. That is what is so funny.

Taking your thought one step further, the January 6th committee has already established "intent", so all of these televised hearings are about preparing the American people for something that has never happened before in the United States. The trial and incarceration of a former president.

I agree. Garland can prosecute anything & everything, but a conviction requires a jury.

As well as preparing the American public as a whole for the fact that indictments may be coming to hopefully quell some of the backlash

Fox news bubble, msnbc, cnn,cbs, nbc,pbr,and all late night shows bubble, doesn't seem fair or balanced. That is a red flag for propaganda, I like a variety of o pinions.

Yes, but it isn't an education of Merrick Garland, they are just amping up the pressure for Garland to make a move. I believe the primary purpose of this hearing is to leverage Garland and the Justice Department to make a move they are reluctant to make. No Justice Department wants to go after a president. For them to do it, they have to be cornered to the point where they are out of options.

He did not care the the slightest bit that others would be injured or even killed. It was all about Donald.He called the gathering "His People."

@@claytonkeever2992 not really sure what you mean by that. Trump has been a racist, bigoted, narcissistic, misogynist con all his life and never really faced hard consequences for how he treats people.

It was a lie

Yeah and the GOP has pretty handily corrected that issue. Military deference has been distilled down to "support our troops!" and all other military issues have been finely delineated as "liberal" and not worth respect. So a modern McCarthy could make the same blunder and the Right would just calmly roll their eyes at any angry reaction.

we still haven't seen who and what was going on in the WAR ROOM at the Willard Hotel... but I'll bet the committee knows.

@@williamschwartz9283Point well made, if they testify. But if they don't, or credibly refute the incident, it could distract from the main point at hand - that Trump didn't want to go back to the White House, which has already been well-established.

His biggest point is that the media latches onto these events, sensational, but not backed up by all testimony. It's an opening to the fascist to latch onto pedantic nonsense. We all watched the event happen, but a Republican cretin can latch onto one piece of these events and say the entire thing is a hoax. The Card Says Moops.

The problem that DeSantis has is that he lacks national recognition. He'll do well in red states and tank in purple moderate states.

@Hobbesian Thinker no it isn't it's a very red state. The only non Republicans getting elected are in major cities which isn't surprising and is true even states like Texas. Florida has elected nothing but rightwingers to the Senate or the Governor's office for decades it been a solidly red state for multiple elections with Obama being the only Democrat to win the state since Carter.

Makes sense - good point

I agree with Jon about this being the turning point where they finally move on (likely to deSantis -hes already ahead in some polls). I disagree w/Jon when he says that’s all that matters. The credibility of the American system is on the chopping block and if the indictments don’t happen and at least one of them sticks, we may see a brain drain away from the United States. Incidently, Garland is holding back because everyone knows the Trump/McConnel axis denied him his job on the Supreme Court, so hes going to wait till a) hes got an open-shut case and b) everyone is yelling and screaming at him so it doesn’t look like he’s just trying to gin up something to smear Trump with out of revenge. (that’s in fact the only reason I was disappointed to see him appointed AG. I knew it would make him hesitant). It matters that Trump is guilty of seditious conspiracy or treason (or whatever they call an attempted coup in legaleze) and that he knew they were armed when he sent them to hunt down elected officials It matters that Trump is guilty of racketeering / trying to corrupt his own party in Georgia and other places. Just like it mattered to our faith in our country that Dick Nixon or Al Capone were publicly acknowledged to be guilty, it matters that Trump isn’t going to keep getting away with it forever.

Trump is done!

Lets pack the court!

I think that's always been the case. We are just more exposed to it now. There are red lines but if you're smart about it you can move through all the squishy places between the laws and be *just* corrupt enough that your actions don't meet the standard of being prosecutable.

My question is did Democrats give Cassidy immunity from prosecution if she testified against Trump? Second, she testified that Trump was in the limo, The Beast. Turns out he wasn't. He was in a SUV. Now figure this out. We are getting testimony from a woman who wasn't there, who supposedly got this information from another staffer who wasn't there who got it from somebody who was there. Sounds a lot like the kids game we played called gossip. Secret Service agents have volunteered to refute her testimony. That's agents, not just one agent. Her story is not credible.

All Democrats care about is fundraising. I'm not saying the Republicans are preferable--clearly they aren't. I'm just gonna paste something I wrote so I don't have to type it again. Joe Biden is Joe Manchin, as I see it. I do not believe that Biden ever intended to deliver on most of his promises. I'm supposed to believe that the President of the United States doesn't have the carrots and sticks necessary to compel Manchin and Sinema to vote for his agenda? Joe Manchin's wife is a Biden administration appointee! What, she just happened to be the best person for the job? Joe Manchin's daughter is implicated in the epi-pen price fixing scandal. IIRC, her master's degree turned out to be fraudulent, but she got an executive position at a drug company anyway. Manchin has clear conflicts of interest with regard to the green energy provisions. One of my senators (Menendez) opposed Medicare drug price negotiation, so that couldn't pass. It just so happens that NJ is home to more pharmaceutical companies than any other state. His daughter Alicia probably never mentioned that while reporting on the status of the bill on MSNBC! Joe Biden could simply make these Senators an offer they couldn't refuse! He delivers the meekest rhetoric I've ever heard from a president, and clearly cares more about the opinions and interests of his chums in the Senate than the unwashed masses. We desperately need campaign finance reform, but Democratic leadership has no interest in that because they're corrupt. It's as plain as day! Why should anyone vote for Democrats if they can't even compel all of their members to back a filibuster carve-out to pass voting rights legislation? Biden is happy to sit idly by and let this supreme court overturn the 20th century. All he and Democratic leadership do is gaslight us, hoping we will turn out to elect Democrats. Politics has become its own end for these people. And no, I'm not giving the Republicans a pass. There's simply no point in even mentioning them. Again, I am NOT advocating voting for Republicans. I am saying that people are not gonna turn out in sufficient numbers to overcome Republican voter suppression and gerrymandering. People (especially PoC and younger voters) already waited in lines for hours and hours in some cases to deliver the Democrats the legislature and the presidency. They did this because they knew how dire the situation had become. Now all Democrats offer them is a complaint that there aren't enough Democrats. We need MORE Democrats! They constantly ask me for money. For what? No matter what the problem is, the solution is always "elect more Democrats". Why did they not do any of this when they last had control?!? It's not as if they weren't aware of the threat then--and trust me, they were. If I could take a class on it, they were aware of it.

@@michaelahurt Yeah, there's always been corruption. However, the government also used to do a lot more for ordinary people, and there used to be regulations that prevented politicians from blatantly monetizing their offices. Democrats were reeling from their catastrophic loss when Reagan took power. Somehow, the lesson they took from that is that they should work on building a consensus with Republicans, and that, hey, "if you can't beat em, join em". And they did. Their policies have still been significantly better overall for ordinary people, but that's only because the Republicans are so much worse. Look at charts showing e.g. marginal income tax rates and income inequality from post WWII to now. You can clearly see the shift after 1980.

Good luck bringing any charges based on third-party hearsay “evidence” that’s already been denied by the Secret Service agents who were there, and were never approached by the committee - gee, I wonder why? Why was a committee meeting suddenly announced as other members were departing for the Congressional break, despite the “evidence” being known about from depositions going back for months? It’s because ratings and public interest have plummeted into the toilet and the committee had to do something, anything, to keep their bogus narrative alive through mid-July, let alone into November. The hearings will never overcome the attention being paid to extreme inflation, burgeoning energy costs, “immigration” invasion debacle, Afghanistan withdrawal disaster, rampant violent crime in Blue governed areas, education failures due to leftist indoctrination, and every other issue that’s actually important to voters, now including independents and mainstream Democrats, especially exponentially-increasing disaffected blacks, Latinos, and suburban white mothers.

Yup! WH Counsel Pat Cipollone was subpoenaed today. If he’s smart, he’ll claim Executive Privilege and drag out his testimony for months… OR - he could immediately testify like a man and get that 360lb. Orangutan off his back ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Don’t forget the cabal at the near by hotel… Giuliani etc. Meadows dialled into their war room meeting the night before…

Only in watergate the president wasn't done in. He resigned and was given a blanket pardon. Look who went to prison over watergate. Nixon was humiliated, not punished for his crimes. That's all they appear to want to do with trump. Expose him, not prosecute him.

Hey! Jon... (SeARCH-->(the plot against the president)

It is called "The end justifies the means " but the end in itself is evil.

Wow

John Wayne and Jesus. A book about evangelicals love of powerful bad guys to protect their rights & trash others rights as a bonus.

Jesus snd John Wayne lays it all out, step by step. Another is The Power Worshippers by Katherine Stewart, or White Too Long by Robert Jones. There are others as well. Al Franken interviewed an historian last week who also has written an expose on the madness.

Jon nailed it.

The lunging shows his deranged and determined state of mind, he wanted to overturn the results and stay in power by all means necessary. Even to the point of physically assaulting his own SS details. And he’s freaking nuts too! Who can believe that such an insane person had the nuclear football in his hands.

@@oliviaturner7388 It's not really possible to imagine any of that happening in the logistics of the presidential stretch limousine.

I still say just think 🤔 if Michael Flynn never resigned, and Trump actually went to the Capitol some democratic leaders would've been murdered including the Vice President, Trump declares martial law the country totally divides, Trump declares Flynn as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and literally militarily crushes any and all opposition, if only I could make a movie 🍿, it would be cool to see the bad guy win and all the carnage that ensues...

Same here. If, somehow, Trump's actions don't fit the technical description of any particular crimes (and I am NOT saying they don't!), his moral culpability for what happened that day is total. And he also bears most of the responsibility for the fact that so many millions of Americans now have serious doubts about the integrity of our elections.

Good point. Intuition !

@@calguy3838 how is he culpable for the actions of others? since no evidence actually exists that points to this being planned...

@@MyName-cw4yr There may not (or may!) be a smoking gun, but there is PLENTY of evidence of Trump's complicity. If you don't think so, then you must not have been paying attention to the January 6 Committee hearings---though there was plenty of evidence even before that. But, just for starters, there was no reason---none at all---for there even to be a "protest" on January 6 and, yes, Trump was the instigator behind that.

Since criminal law. You need to prove the act and the mental element.

Some crimes require mens rea: state of mind. That's the difference between manslaughter, self defense, and all the degrees of murder. No matter the intent the bad thing was done, but the intent determines what crime they can charge them with.

@@cbpd89 yea but your still charge with something. Even if your criminal insane..your still held for a whole. Sometimes it even worst then Jail

Only if we continue to allow it. We cannot allow it!

@@Justmeforwhatitisworth You're a Russian Disinformation Troll Farm

The fact that you have to include that you "do not agree with her political stance" speaks volumes. The fact that we now judge people's character or integrity by their politically affiliation (or could be villified for affirming someone's character because of their political affiliation). Like "he's a good husband, father, friend, worker...I do not agree with his political stance, but he's a good..." I mean... (big sigh)

I don't know, at 23 I was a team leader going into Iraq to assess the results of a strike on a target of opportunity that helped "encourage" Hussein to allow weapon inspections to resume. Don't discount the abilities and accomplishments of the youth. 2 years later I was a Platoon Sergeant sending out others to conduct missions.

@@ebbyc1817 Actually isn't that how it's supposed to be? Politics isn't like your favorite color, it affects the society we live in so to some extent you do judge a person in part because of their political world view. There's plenty of people I respect, think are a good person, but I don't agree with their political views. We can talk about all kinds of things, even politics. The problem today is that if people don't agree with your politics, they want nothing to do with you. You are the enemy in their eyes, rather than a person like you, but who sees the world differently and we need to negotiate and compromise to build a society that all of us like.

And yeah at 25, I wouldn't have much to say about politics. I remember when Obama was elected and I got interested in politics, subscribing to magazines and reading the news, and watching cable news. and I remember watching some political story on CNN concerning Florida and thinking, I don't understand what this has to do with me in Michigan or the US as a whole." and I was done for a bit with politics. It took time for me to understand more than the surface and see the bigger picture and form my own view than just parrot what elders said. Very impressive at 25, hats off to her.

@@jmhorange ' The problem today is that if people don't agree with your politics, they want nothing to do with you' Exactly. It's a difference in opinion. It's not a proof of your character. You can be a liar, and love or hate guns. You can be an abuser and be pro-life. You can be anything, and be anything, politically. It says nothing about you. At least not when it comes to, trust or not trusting. ..yeah maybe we should go back to the days when it was impolite to talk about politics or religion. I guess there was always a reason for that. Or is politics the new religion. Like anyone who doesn't share your politcal views is an 'infidel' , or something.

Yes, DeSantis is very scary.

Yes. Evil men love quotes about themselves. John did it perfect here. An evil man using his talent to fool his dumb worshippers.

Perfect description of Bush and Obama

Lol

Cursed with a classic founding fathers style name? You mean his birth name Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz? :D

@@Tresorthas Or Drumpf?

He should have Colbert as VP. Make America Laugh Again.

He's a Canadian, not American. He's not eligible. Otherwise, I agree! He'd do well as a president. He'd probably tear all his hair out though. That office usually ages the person a decade in 4 yrs. Except Trump. Nothing touches that Thing. He has a painting in his attic at Mara Lago.

Joan Osborne could have said it best . . . If T***p had a tantrum, and you were witness to it would you you call it to his face?

You're not the only one. I feel the same.
