J6 Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney has been criticized by critics for participating in a one-sided series of hearings devoid of alternative or dissenting views. Some have called it a “show trial” with members reading off teleprompters in tightly scripted and controlled hearings. As if to fulfill that show trial portrayal, Cheney ended the hearing this week by calling for more officials to come forward and noting that Trump family members and former officials have now come forward with their own public “confessions.”
As with past hearings, the summation included a direct call by Cheney for voters to oppose Donald Trump in the coming election: “Can a President who is willing to make the choices Donald Trump made during the violence of January 6 ever be trusted with any position of authority in our great nation again?” It is the type of pitch that is as unnecessary as it is counterproductive. Many voters tuned out the hearings weeks ago due to the absence of any balance in the presentation of evidence. To add direct political pitches only reduces the audience further. The result is that it is left telling largely Democratically aligned voters not to vote for Trump.
The alternative was to secure a larger audience by allowing more balance. It would not have altered the power of these accounts. It would have simply added greater credibility to the proceedings. It could have changed minds rather than just reaffirm preexisting views. Instead, once again, the Committee simply edited out conflicting evidence. For example, the Committee again edited out the line of Trump where he said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Liz has constantly a weepy, wimpy expression like she is about to cry or swoon.
What was on the shoulder patch?
>>Liz has constantly a weepy, wimpy expression like she is about to cry or swoon<<
I believe it is called a “Hang dog look”.
Delusion runs deep with Liz
Turley is bought & paid for
It’s really about the threat that Trump posed to Daddy Bush’s plan to turn the USA into North Mexico.
They have been importing a new electorate for 30 years to steal the country from the citizens.
Confess to what?
I’m still really confused to the point of all of this.
For example, the Committee again edited out the line of Trump where he said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

The J6 Committee is propaganda, and as propaganda it gets an F.
And it’s only 21 more shopping days until Cheney gets the boot,
The b!tch needs a face lift. The Murkowski frown is unbecoming.
The blue glitter eyeshadow is gay.
Just like Winston’s confession at the end of 1984. Why do fascists always want their victims to apologize before they’re executed? It seems like executing them would be enough.

In 1984, O’Brian explains to Winston that the confession to the crime removes the possibility of the person being executed being seen as a martyr. And thru torture, the confessions the part gets are true confessions.
“’The first thing for you to understand is that in this place there are no martyrdoms. You have read of the religious persecutions of the past. In the Middle Ages there was the Inquisitlon. It was a failure. It set out to eradicate heresy, and ended by perpetuating it. For every heretic it burned at the stake, thousands of others rose up. Why was that? Because the Inquisition killed its enemies in the open, and killed them while they were still unrepentant: in fact, it killed them because they were unrepentant. Men were dying because they would not abandon their true beliefs. Naturally all the glory belonged to the victim and all the shame to the Inquisitor who burned him. Later, in the twentieth century, there were the totalitarians, as they were called. There were the German Nazis and the Russian Communists. The Russians persecuted heresy more cruelly than the Inquisition had done. And they imagined that they had learned from the mistakes of the past; they knew, at any rate, that one must not make martyrs. Before they exposed their victims to public trial, they deliberately set themselves to destroy their dignity. They wore them down by torture and solitude until they were despicable, cringing wretches, confessing whatever was put into their mouths, covering themselves with abuse, accusing and sheltering behind one another, whimpering for mercy. And yet after only a few years the same thing had happened over again. The dead men had become martyrs and their degradation was forgotten. Once again, why was it? In the first place, because the confessions that they had made were obviously extorted and untrue. We do not make mistakes of that kind. All the confessions that are uttered here are true. We make them true. And above all we do not allow the dead to rise up against us. You must stop imagining that posterity will vindicate you, Winston. Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out from the stream of history.”
— 1984
Turley just outted himself as Deep State.
“I think what historians are going to say is after all the attacks on Trump, starting with the Russia lies in 2016—after all these attacks—there’s a huge number of Americans who are so sick of the elites and think they are so corrupt, that they prefer Donald Trump—whoever the challengers—to what they are being fed by the national establishment.
“I think people should really pay attention—not to Trump, but to the millions and millions of people who deeply hate what they see as a corrupt national city, and they see this particular game—this show trial—as just more corruption."
Oh yes. If they would have been fair, it wouldn’t have changed Turley’s conclusions, just Trump supporters.
Newt has nailed it. I am so sick of anti-Trump propaganda that I don’t believe any of it, even if they had real evidence, which they don’t. The continued desperate attacks are just re-affirming my belief that Trump is a real and existential threat to the Great Reset. And whether or not Trump runs in 2024, he is distracting from efforts that would otherwise be directed at DeSantis.
Turley is certainly full of himself on this one.
We don’t believe a damn thing coming out of ANY of DC, not the CDC, not the FDA, not the FBI, not the CIA, not the Pentagon, OR any military branches the American people have been LIED to so much they are DONE these bastards could tell us the sky was blue and we would NOT BELIEVE THEM!!! I will bet you that 60% of Americans feel this way!!
I think Cheney knows her hopes for re-election is doomed so she is going all out to hurt Trump. Period. Wyoming...please do not put one vote towards this deep state loser. Please. (signed: the rest of the country)
What exactly did he do Lizard?
“Delusional people don’t realize they are” comes to mind.
