8. Extremely disappointing

with all the concessions, but not surprising. If the situation was reversed, the RepubliCONS would have been on the attack 24/7 since January 6th demanding hearings, a special prosecutor, resignation/censure/expulsion of offending Dem office holders, and their media machine would be laser focused on this event (they've already managed to convince a significant number of their supporters that it actually was "antifa' and "BLM" who plotted and were responsible for the attack). Most of the Dem leadership doesn't seem to have the stomach for this type of engagement and simply like to avoid as much unpleasantness as possible. Consequently, the RepubliCONS recognize this vulnerability, exploit the weakness to their advantage (especially with propaganda), and once again win the messaging game. Quite frankly, fuck the "seeking bipartisanship" because it's a losing approach in our contemporary politics. Only the Dems try to promote this cooperative approach while the other side only seeks absolute domination. Wake up!
