... premiers June 9th on TV screens the world over.
Already predicted to be the "must watch" show of the year, this drama/comedy miniseries will feature a cast of well-known politicians, along with behind-the-scenes witnesses who caught them in the act of attempting to overthrow democracy.
You'll laugh, you'll cry! You'll be infuriated by the actions of a multitude of Republicans who risked it all to keep their favourite Idiot in the White House - you'll lapse into hysterical laughter when you hear about their ineptitude as they left a trail of emails, texts, and phone records behind, evidencing their own guilt every step of the way!
Trailers for the show have already proven to be a hit with audiences, especially the "I never said that" denials followed by audio recordings of the denier saying EXACTLY THAT!
Remember when Trump told his supporters to show up in DC on January 6th because "it's going to be wild"? Well, these hearings are going to be over-the-top wild - it's not every day that American citizens can actually watch GOP political careers die in real time!
So get comfy, fire-up the popcorn machine, and prepare to enjoy a recounting of the antics of a party too stupid to cover their tracks as they attempted to overthrow the government they swore to defend and protect.
It's gonna be WILD!

What channel will it be on? Do I have to be home to watch it or can I record it on my Toshiba V.H.S.
I doubt political careers will explode. Rubes already know what they're voting for and continue to rinse and repeat.... somethin' about lib'tards.
I want prosecutions, convictions and time in slammers.

(7,430 posts)A TV show will have temporary effects. Criminal indictments and convictions are far more effective and long-lasting. If Trump doesn't get indicted, the US is in far worse shape than the most ardent of pessimists will surmise.

And, speaking of popcorn... For anyone who is interested, microwave popcorn bowls are available that allow you to use bulk kernels. They're generally under $10, and available at Target, Walmart, etc., and maybe even Goodwill. Pop the amount you want, with or without the oil of your choice. No rain forest-destroying palm oil. No fake butter. No popcorn bags in the landfill. Cheaper than the microwave stuff in the long run, too.

faces or are they gonna show highlights of those they've already taped and pointing fingers at IQ4.5?

(12,582 posts)If they hadn't been so inept, and if there hadn't been public servants who believed in the rule of law rather than the rule of the mob, we might still be trying to dislodge Trump from the WH.

(8,329 posts)Washington DC, Virginia State Police, Maryland State Police, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Prince Georges County, Montgomery County, some Federal Agencies, hell there were New Jersey State Troopers who responded to the call on 1/6. They were mostly state and local Cops who responded to save democracy that day. With out them, we would be fucked.

(32,633 posts)"How could they do this?"
"Our democracy is so fragile"
"What is wrong with the Republican Party?"
On and on ... Anyone older than 60, we're all going to be having flashbacks.
But this time it wasn't just a handful of morons, and it wasn't carried out in secret. The President openly conspired and encouraged criminal activity. Treasonous behavior. AND the rest of the Repukes were fine with it.
Lock them all up!

That's the two-word defense we'll hear over and over from the Trumpers. And MILLIONS would rather believe those two words than all of the factual evidence that will be overflowing from the hearings.
Trumpism IS A FASCIST RELIGION, replete with articles of faith and dogma that believers must accept. Facts don't apply.
Watch what happens beginning June 9.
