Drinking game for tonight's Jan 6th hearing?

Forums:

Take a shot every time they say the former guy's name.

Whattayasay?   

That name is going be thrown out a lot. I'd be passed out pretty quick, maybe 10 minutes in. Low alcohol tolerance.

It would be nice if they surprised everyone and only referred to him as The Dumpster, but they'll probably be respectful for no good reason at all.

"Individual 1"

Point of order. The former guy's last name only, or with something in front of it? I hear they might be leading off with video of Ivanka.

Drink every time you see an AR-15. 

Yeah Mike, I heard they have Ivanka on video describing what the asshole was doing while the riot was going on. I'm sure they'll present some compelling stuff.

"what he was doing" has apparently been scoured from YouTube. I would have downloaded it had I known it would be erased and become such a "mystery". Ivanka was standing right next to him under what looked like a party tent in front of a series of TV's featuring the mahem as other WH officials mingled around, including Crackhead Kelly, Meadows, and his two sons, etc.

 

^That sounds like a video I saw of a reception tent before Trump spoke on January 6th, and before the riot started. Was there music playing?

This same "venue" which seems to feature the time leading up to his pre-riot pep speech:

Sweet ...Bill Barr was just video-quoted saying "Bullshit" on NBC primetime. LOL

Yeah, that's the one I saw. My understanding is that the Secret Service got him right back to the WH after his speech though.

No wonder the GOP censured Liz Cheney.

 

she's one of a handful of Republicans who put country over party 

Great  video footage of god- fearing, country lovin' flag wavin', law abiding conservatives at work.

^^^BUMP!!

> No wonder the GOP censured Liz Cheney.

I needed to keep reminding myself who her dad is, and what she usually stands for.

Right? I mean there's the new traitorous GOP and then there's the old school War Profiteering  GOP 

 

Good thing Mike Pence was such a religious zealot.  (Most dudes in POS circle during that time would have caved-in when the final threat was: "Mike, Do You Want To Be Remembered As a Patriot, Or A Pussy?..")  I don't care if he had to ask his wife first, his personal savior first, or his lawyer first, he stood strong against a US-based Coup!

I still find it shocking to hear myself tell people that VP Mike Pence saved whats left of our Democracy experiment.  

But who's really in control of Mike Pence...   we need to hear from the fly!!!

This is Slickrock's wife. He died tonight from alcohol poisoning. Services next week. wink

>  Mike Pence saved whats left of our Democracy experiment.

No, he didn't. Pence played along as Trump's lapdog for four years, and bailed when he was finally asked to do something. Don't elevate this schmuck. He's part of the problem.

It struck me that these prime time hearings are really a court of public opinion. Congress won't do shit to ensure that Trump and his minions can never hold office again, so we can only hope that the voters do what our elected officials won't.

My take is that they're missing the mark. Every 90 seconds they should be saying, "Trump and other elected officials knowingly tried to overthrow the Constitution and can't hold office." They need to say it often and loud, because that will stick in our brains. It's exactly what Trump did, over and over, and it works. Say it loud, say it clearly, and say it often.

The best thing that could happen to this country, at this point, would be for Trump to have a heart attack and go the fuck away. Once it's all over, the same holds true for Liz Cheney.

And how about the political capital Pence is getting from all this? They're portraying his sorry ass as a saint and savior. 

Glad they're having the hearings, but I never watch stuff like that. Boring and depressing at the same time. I'll catch up after the fact.

 

>Don't elevate this schmuck. He's part of the problem<

 

I agree, but he did make the decision to stay at the capital. That was pivotal in thwarting the attempted coup. 

"I'm not getting in that car, Tony."  

Charles Grassley was ready to step in as president pro tempore and refuse to certify the vote.

This didn't happen because Pence refused to leave.  

 

Fuckin idiots putting this on at prime time up against the nhl nba playoffs and baseball.

And those merikans not into sports prefer to watch shit like the Depp trial or reruns of everybody loves raymond

Right On Liz Cheney, go get em girl

 

^baseball's ratings suck, 10 people watch hockey and there was no NBA last night. 

 

When would be a better time to air this?

 

3pm est when a lot of folks get out of work here, and it's 12 noon out west where nobody does a fuckin thing after noon anyway,, and little before.

 

So they should broadcast it while a large percentage of the population is working?

 

That's just plain stupid. 

Colbert quipped last night that during the same time, Tucker went the entire hour of his show without a commercial...  they apparently were toooo afraid at FAUX to risk having anyone change the channel...

I'm surprised they don't realize none of this shifts the needle if it did they would have been able to impeach him the first 2 times. What do they think all of a sudden people are going to give a shit about Trump's behavior 

I wonder how many pubs are now regretting not convicting him that 2nd time around, especially after he was convincingly defeated at the polls. 

The assholes could have neutered him for good. 

At this point, Trump is both a liability and an asset for the Republican Party/Conservatives.

>>>>I'm surprised they don't realize none of this shifts the needle if it did they would have been able to impeach him the first 2 times. What do they think all of a sudden people are going to give a shit about Trump's behavior

Only thing I might suggest is "different audiences.' One group voting were politicians afraid for their future. This show is for the middle 20% of American voters and to rile the dems as well. 

Ivanka's face seems to have lost the last trace of humanness .

She's a fembot.

^She's just the most recent casualty of the latest family venture scam, TrumpBotox©

Every time Bennie says "ask"

 

Do love the guy but come on man work on that pronunciation for the prime time viewers.  Detracts from the excellent point your making.

>WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Like "your" in this context?

 

Not that I'm suggesting VLZ is "prime time". cheeky
