Yes, this is exactly my recollection from the time and I felt the same way but the Axios summary of the Loudermilk report said there was testimony contradicting that account so that's why my interest got peaked - maybe someone(s) actually did go under oath and contradict her?

Sorry I'm probably not being clear. I'm saying I think that's the GOP strategy, not that I agree with it or that they're succeeding. But what I do think is that they don't actually have to "prove" that she's lying in order to get a lot of people to believe that she did and that she's not credible because they think she's a liar. I personally do not think she's a liar, but think that's what the GOP is trying to do to her.

I suspect it was something that Loudermilk did harp on but I'm merely going off it being something Axios specifically called out in that summary. My guess is that if they can make people believe she lied once it damages her credibility

I suspect it's even worse than this. I wouldn't be surprised if the algorithm feeds different individuals different "front pages". In this day it seems like it would be business malpractice not to do this if there's no law/regulation prohibiting them. It's the way it works now. WaPo needs the clean & clear if everyone else in the league is using it....

I do recall when Hutchinson testified publicly there were news stories about several secret service agents that wanted to testify contradicting her, I think Ornato was one of them. My recollection from that time was that we never saw it reported that they went in and testified under oath, I remember thinking at the time that they were blowing smoke.

I just read a quick summary from Axios. My initial feeling is if the GOP really thought this was something they wouldn't do a report. Everyone knows no one reads reports. In the summary I read, the thing that got me most interested was the direct testimony contradicting Hutchinson. They said it was specifically about the physical altercation between trump and Secret service, which while lurid isn't critical path of what happened that day. Other stuff just seemed like stuff I've already heard from GOP for months, like "J6 committee destroyed evidence" https://www.axios.com/2024/03/11/house-republican-report-jan-6-committee

I watched the first few episodes on Netflix and did think it was pretty good but at this point I can't remember why we stopped watching it. In all seriousness, no I haven't read that, I'd be happy to hear quick summary

I feel like there's some hay to be made by Biden's team about Trump promising to pardon people who were found guilty of seditious conspiracy. That conviction really is a conviction for traitorous behavior.

I'm a paid subscriber to WP and get push news alerts. I got 2 regarding Biden's budget, both of which indicated it was Dead on Arrival. I got no alerts about Trump pardoning J6 hostage errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr convicted criminals. That said I did see via media somewhere that he had said that. He's said it before so maybe that's part of the coverage.

So she's saying she's unqualified? Or is she talking about her FIL? Or both?

It was really tedious, I had to turn it off. Usually I can stomach it but it was too much. I mentioned how C-SPAN had moved it to the mobile app to cover Biden exiting. While it's hilarious to frame it as a diss on Kenny Brit's speech, they came on with some info why. Apparently during that whole long Biden exit, the house was still in session, so b/c of their agreement w/ the House, they have to show the house while it's in session, there's no escaping it.

Senator Kenny Britt, seemingly on the verge of fake tears, just blamed credit card debt on Biden, this after decades of GOP telling us people know how to best spend their money.

Lol cspan moved the GOP response to the mobile app to keep covering Biden exiting the House.

This is so good.

Biden on fire at SOTU.

I like all of them that ran but I agree with this. Schiff is great!

Spent 10k on a tasty round steak too

Not for me. I make over 50% more now annually than I did in 2020. Portfolio is ridiculous in a good way, now compared to then too. OTOH, My family is much more fractured than it was then though and it's directly related to politics so that sucks. And I really wish Biden would have fixed the Trump Dam Breakages that happened in mid-Michigan in May 2020 and destroyed my hometown.

The constitution doesn't really say anything the SCOTFS found in today's 14th Amendment decision.

I hate that the CDC did this but Jah was very clear in saying exactly what you said as the reason why they did it

Apparently trump said in a rally in Virginia yesterday that he will be removing federal funding from public schools that require vaccinations.

I read other accounts like this as well. Caucuses are pretty grim anyways but this seems like it makes them untenable. I don't mean to blame the game instead of the player b/c these players are dirty pieces of **** but caucuses need to go just out of harm reduction principle

also where was the debate?

I never told anyone to stop talking about anyone or anything sweet trolling though champ

speaking of pretzel logic, if you're a socialist like you said then you're a...... tankie? what a disaster area
