January 6th Committee Members and Marsupials...
The January 6th committee grinds on despite very little interest shown by a vast majority of Americans too busy trying to make it through another record-setting day. As partisan politicians drone on within the safe confines of congress, outside, gas prices, inflation, crime, illegal immigration, drug overdose deaths, and a host of other ever-multiplying problems are, by increments or, for some, in a single catastrophic moment, destroying lives.
As for the hearings and those sitting high upon the dais, it's become a latter-day recreation of the tribunals that heaped unfounded accusations of heresy upon people who dared question the authority of the church during the Dark Ages. Today, it's the democrat party sitting in judgment of heretics, also known as Trump supporters, and the proceedings are no less accusatorially unfounded.
Tuesday, with great fanfare, "testimony" was given by a former White House staffer who described in great detail a damning sequence of events involving Donald Trump after his January 6th speech on the mall. There were no questions from the politicians sitting in judgment; each tugged their chins and nodded in unison as the witness spun her stories based solely upon second and third-party hearsay, unchallenged because her narrative was orthodoxically pure... Donald Trump is the ultimate heretic.
Almost immediately, those with actual first-hand knowledge of the incident, went on record to refute every bit of the testimony given, but that meant nothing to members of the January 6th committee. Like those who once sat in judgment on Inquisition tribunals, the likes of Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Liz Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger, sanctimonious, demonstrably dishonest, anti-Trump partisans, aren't interested in the truth. They're intention is to present only evidence that confirms and supports their predetermined conclusions, truth, be damned.
And so, the January 6th committee will reconvene today, but nary a single member will experience the worries and fears Americans living beyond the fences and guards protecting the proceedings are waking up to this morning. Americans are worried about empty gas tanks they can't afford to fill. Americans are worried about empty spaces in their pantries and refrigerators too expensive to stock. Americans are dealing with well-founded fears that were they to venture forth to fill their tanks or shelves, violent criminals would rape, rob, pillage, plunder, and murder them. American parents are worried that the fentanyl-laced pill their child takes at a party will kill them. Meanwhile, either oblivious to all that or, more likely, without a care, back in Washington, the committee carries on.
It's yet to be confirmed that new members and staff are needed to further the committee's inquisitional efforts, but a round-up occurring in Australia seems to support the rumor. Sadly... for the committee, there aren't enough kangaroos on the entire continent to fully staff the court.
