Has anyone told him the Jan 6th committee has postponed their "hearings" because it's taking them too long to edit videos into incriminating evidence?

41% still approve of this PUTZ? W. T. F.???
Do "their technical work?"
Isn't that a form of "creative editing" and a subset of "manipulating video" or "modifying evidence?"
Liberal-infused, politico-speak diatribe...about as close to the truth as the sun is to the earth.
Well, it looks like Prez Blowfish loses another round in the courts:
NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s highest court on Tuesday rejected former President Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to avoid testifying in the state attorney genera l’s civil investigation into his business practices, clearing the way for his deposition next month.
The state’s Court of Appeals said there was no “substantial constitutional question” that would warrant its intervention in the matter following an intermediate appellate court’s ruling last month enforcing a subpoena for Trump’s testimony.
The court also dismissed a motion by Trump’s lawyers to stay the subpoenas, saying that doing so would be “academic,” since it wasn’t taking up the former president’s appeal in the first place.

Jan 6 Committee == Clown Show (not the funny kind, either)

People may not have liked Trump (*) .. and yet more dislike Biden and Team Biden imho ..
( * - Trump seems like love or hate was the option .. people I know are on either side .. )
Honestly, how is it that the USA gives us such poor candidates like Biden and Harris .. really a bad sign imho

I see you love these witch hunts. They have nothing on the man, but will continue searching until they find "something", "anything". By the way how is your January 6 entrapment going?

I would say the constant unfavorable bombardment on President Trump by the media had its effect. Now people are realizing he was not as bad as the media made him out to be.

absolutely .. the media needs rebalancing .. it imho no longer properly serves the USA ..
With all the truths I've been told this past year or so, I feel like a Macy's Thanksgiving balloon.
Trouble is, I don't know if it is smoke or just plain hot air being blown up my A55!

It is indeed a gas and it is called gaslighting. The Biden administration has a corner on the market.

Poll: Half of Americans now predict U.S. may 'cease to be a democracy' someday
No longer serving? It's more like the media is continuing to subvert and undermine the USA. Instead of reinforcing the false idea that the US is supposed to be a democracy, an honest press would be educating the difference between a democracy and constitutional federal republic, where the peoples' representatives are bound to follow the constitution.
The well known quote "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch" is what the press wants the public to believe the system is supposed to be, with them being one of the wolves of course. This encourages transferring power from the states to the federal government. It already achieved popular vote for senators. Next stop is popular vote for president, then one-world government.

I dunno about anyone else, but I don't believe this is coming from the legitimate White House in Washington, DC.
I certainly don't believe there's anything particularly URGENT coming from them.
Apparently (those are the actual numbers above) most people don't bother listening or watching this crap.
I didn't either, as I would not believe one word.

Get Beyond the Gaslighting – Media Now Falsely Claim Biden Administration
Underestimated Negative U.S. Economic Impact from Russian Sanctions
June 15, 2022 | Sundance | 171 Comments
I am tired and weary of the bullshit from every side of the political continuum -particularly the professionally republican idiots- that continue to hide the reality of the situation. We are adults, let us talk honestly in the framework of reality; that will allow prudent preparation for the massive crisis we are about to experience
When the tenant realizes they have a leaking fish tank, they realize they are going to be financially responsible for the water damage. The tenant concocts a plan to avoid responsibility. The tenant intentionally loosens a pipe in the bathroom creating water damage, thereby hiding the fish tank leak.
The owner is now on the hook for the repair. The tenant escapes liability.
The people behind Joe Biden knew their radical transformation of energy policy was going to create massive economic damage.
The people behind Biden used the opportunity of the Ukraine-Russia conflict to trigger economic sanctions they knew would worsen the global inflation damage they were creating through energy policy.
Economic sanctions against Russia were as used as the broken pipe in the bathroom to hide the energy policy fish tank leak. All of the media discussing the situation are now pretending not to know this. The conservative pundits are a combination of pretending and too stupid to actually see what is happening.
BLOOMBERG – […] There’s no sign that administration officials feel their sanctions policy was a mistake or that they want to dial back the pressure. If anything, officials have said a key US goal is to ensure Russia can’t do to other nations what it has done in Ukraine.
But the collateral damage from the sanctions has been wider than expected.
When the invasion began, the Biden administration believed that if penalties exempted food and energy, the impact on inflation at home would be minimal. Since then, energy and food have become key drivers of the highest US inflation rates in 40 years, a huge political liability for President Joe Biden and the Democratic party heading into November’s mid-term elections.
Bloomberg is running this article as a distraction, directly implying the Biden administration did not realize how much additional damage the sanctions against Russia would create. There are many articles of a similar nature by multiple outlets. All of them are designed to ignore the reality of the situation.
We are rapidly assembling data now that will allow us to give CTH readers a real-world estimate of just how damaging things are going to be.
Tracking raw materials, supply chain costs, distribution limits, advanced and sequential purchase orders, as well as inbound costs associated with the supply chain for essential goods and services, we are nearing enough data to make a prediction.
In the fall of 2021 CTH was able to provide a 100-day countdown window to the first major wave of inflationary impacts. Purchase orders cycling in net terms of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days allowed us to see the increases in product costs that were aggregating in the supply chain. Readers watched in real time as those weeks and months passed giving us the exact outcome we expected.
While we still need a little more data to make the best possible prediction for the next 120-day forecast, I am relatively certain we can give an advanced estimate today.
A current shopping cart of traditional staple items at the supermarket (full basket) is roughly $300 representing about a $75 increase in price since early January 2022. The $300 typical basket is essentially enough product to create 10 days of multiple purpose meals for the average family (4 people).
Using that $300 basket as the new baseline, I can predict the next wave of price increases will drive that single basket cost to $500 by late fall. This is the scale of inbound inflation that is going to arrive at approximately the same time as the mid-term election.
As you can tell, the next wave of price increases is significantly larger than the two that preceded it. The $300 shopping cart is going to cost around $500 when all of the increased costs are fully matriculated in the retail supply chain. This is the scale of food store inflation you should be preparing for now. Offsetting this cost increase is the challenge you should be considering right now.
More details will follow, but the final numbers are going to be close to this scale.
