Voters may care more about the cost of French fries than January 6 panel’s compelling evidence
CNN ^ | October 13, 2022 | Stephen Collinson

Posted on 10/13/2022 5:10:17 AM PDT by Trump20162020

The House select committee investigating the US Capitol insurrection long ago dropped the notion of being a narrowly focused quest for the facts as members use their probe to try to defend democracy in its intensifying struggle with Donald Trump.

The panel returns to the public eye Thursday after its late-summer break with a televised hearing that sources tell CNN will serve as a pre-midterms warning that the ex-President is a clear and present danger to free elections.

But are the American people listening? And do the committee’s efforts to undermine Trump’s cadre of election denier candidates in 2022 and vow to ensure he never again tastes presidential power have any chance of success?

Polls repeatedly show that voters see the economy – a far more visceral issue in daily life than the threat to American democracy – as their top concern. Their anxiety was explained by new data Wednesday from the Producer Price Index, a key measure of inflation showing the price of goods and services rose at an annual pace of 8.5% in September. Grocery bills are just a pain right now. Frozen potato products are up 10%, pork products that are not sausages are 5.5% more expensive. While it would be too simplistic to say voters are more preoccupied with the cost of French fries than the price of democratic freedoms, it wouldn’t be far from the mark.

Compelling evidence to who?

It’s a show and nothing more.

If they really wanted to defend democracy they'd be worrying about making elections so secure that no one could ever think they were corrupted. No computers, no mail in ballots, no vote harvesting, ID required to vote, etc. Never going to happen.

The J6 panel is a show trial and most people have already made up their mind.

Then why is it the headline of the article?

The soviet-style show trial is a massive bust, the article begrudgingly acknowledges.

Here’s the short version, Liz Cheney will say she thinks everyone should hate Trump like her, the Dems will agree, and that’s a wrap.

I find McDonald’s French Fries more compelling than the January 6th Committee’s evidence.

But which do you prefer, McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King....

The J6 panel is a show trial in the Stalinist/Maoist tradition and most people have already made up their mind.

FTFY

“The cost of french fries is outrageous!”

McDonald’s app has large fries for $1 on Deals. The $1 drink regular price has gone to $1.39, though.

“the ex-President is a clear and present danger to free elections. “


They stuffed Al Gore’s 2000 objection to the election into the memory hole.

The only danger to our republic is voter fraud by those that count the votes.

Mailing ballots to every home in America with no way of verifying if the vote was cast by a citizen (dead or alive) or if they were allowed to vote.

The Democrats demand photo ID to do almost anything today except to vote! Now that is the real danger.

"S___! I know s___'s bad right now, with all that starving bulls___, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.......But I got a solution."

At least President Camacho understands what really matters to people.

It’s my understanding that Putin ORDERED that the price of french fries be increased, so the companies complied and increased the price.

No CNN, you dolts. Natural gas, fuel and electricity. Those affect the prices of everything else.

That statement is so ludicrous I cannot continue.

But Trump was in kahoots with him, Trump even likes a big mac, that's the crime I believe they are referring to.
