I suppose it’s a commentary on the sad state of affairs in this country that my gratitude for today is about the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. That barely 50 years after Watergate we need another congressional investigation into the corruption of a Republican administration that basically told Richard Nixon, “Hold my beer” is unfuckingbelievable. But here we are.
And—being here—I’m grateful that
there are some politicians who are willing to follow the evidence and expose
the truth to the world, despite the very best (if wildly incompetent) efforts
of Republicans to deny, deflect and demean the proceedings.
Two lone Rs joined the committee out of a sense
of duty (as opposed to the reps proposed by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in
an attempt to turn it into a circus). They’ll probably be voted out of office
in November for that.
Because that’s where we are, too.
The first hearing, held in prime time Thursday
night, was quite the revelation. Second one is today. May their work be
thorough, clearly stated and utterly irrefutable. And may the Department of Justice
follow up accordingly.
