Political Theater

I hope you're right, that the Dems hold the Senate. My take on things is unusual, though, in that I think that the strength of the economy actually plays against the Democrats. Lots of people are pushing up into higher tax brackets, with the dramatic nominal wage growth, and meanwhile with unemployment rates well below 4%, much of the public is in a mindset where they think they're never going to need public assistance. That defines a battlefield that's really disadvantageous to a party that fights against upper-class tax cuts and defends the welfare state.

Discard of the Constitution of the United States. You are ignoring Article I and the 14th and 16th amendments again.

These hearings will most certainly move the needle on public opinion. Since politics are local, I doubt it will alter elections of Reps much.

Also consider that between COVID anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers and Red States disenfranchising elderly voters/vote-by-mail will have a negative impact on Republicans too. Ooh, the irony. LOL

Hallucination. Paradox V. Paradox M. Spewing religious text from the Church of Covid isn't going to help you.

Could well be. From my personal perspective, that may actually be good, since I'm young, able-bodied, and wealthy, so the kinds of things Republicans support (tax breaks for the rich) could help me more in the short and medium terms than any hits to the kinds of things they oppose (e.g., government support for poorer people and the disabled.). The more Republican power, the worse for the human race in the longer term, for environmental reasons, but more immediately it just hurts the vulnerable, and that's not me.

The United States was never a democracy. It was organized as a federated republic.
There was no insurrection on Jan 6th.
The silent coup was conducted by Democrats. So far it's successful. How long it will last is yet to be seen.

Just say it. "Nothingburger"! You know you want to!

Worldwide inflation is not Biden's fault.

High inflation is Biden's and the Democrats fault. They directed the Fed to print huge wads of money, which they did, causing high inflation. Fascism in energy markets by Democrats caused fuel prices to rise dramatically worldwide, causing high fuel prices worldwide. This factor also is causing inflation due to shortages of many products. Democrats also shut down the economy, including ports, which are still operating on a very limited basis on the Left Coast, causing further shortages and inflation.

Inflation is not worldwide.
The use of fiat currencies is common. Central banks inflate them so the governments controlling them can pay of their debts with printed money (a theft).

Groan me all you like, Phan, but results count. Everyone who violates classified material protocols is hammered even if it's only a slap on the wrist. Not Hillary. She got a pass because it was an election year in a tight election...even one against a fucking moron and pedophile.

Election year made no difference. The pedophile is Biden.

Void argument fallacy. Argument from randU fallacy.

Hillary. Not Trump's violent coup.^^^

Exactly.

It was Hillary's not adhering to every letter and punctuation mark of the rules regarding emails that put our government and our country in danger of collapse, not Donald Trump's treasonous efforts to forcefully wrest the Presidency away from his opponent, the legitimate victor.

How so many people are so stupid that they shrug it off as nothing, totally unaware of unconcerned that had he succeeded and pulled it off, democracy as we've known it since the Declaration of Independence, would be a thing of the past.

Scary.

I'm beginning to wonder why I'm surprised, though.

Pedo Don's pedo buddy was Bill Clinton. They have a lot in common...except wife swapping. Even Trump wasn't that desperate. LOL

Clinton at least respected the institutions of the government and didn't wipe his on The Constitution like Trump did.

There is no real comparison between them.

I actually laughed out loud this morning when reading the news. Ted Cruz labeled the January 6 hearings "theater." That accusation from any modern Republican is hilarious. Republicans in Congress have pretty much abandoned the idea of governing for years, and spend the majority of their time on various Kabuki productions designed to create segments for Fox News. Consider the major hearings they held regarding a piece of I.T. trivia: years earlier, the Secretary of State had used a personal email server for work and, for some reason, this was treated as a matter requiring the rapt attention of Congress for months. Now compare to the January 6 insurrection attempt: it was a violent attack on our nation's capital, meant to overturn our democracy, which sent countless to the hospital and a few to the morgue. A hearing about THAT is what he denounces at theater?!
