How is watching “the honest thing”?

I could do the dishonest thing by watching and then lying about what they said, but I’d rather not.
Well, to me what you've just said is equally dishonest. It basically says, "If I don't watch, then I can say anything I want to about what it contained." The one thing your post does NOT convey is any interest in what the actual "truth" is, only what you've already decided ought to be the truth.

No I was referring to people who make factually false claims about evidence. I can’t put trust in them. Knowing the history of this process, the blind eyes turned by the same persons to many acts done by their allies and then they cry foul about when their enemy. I have zero reason to believe they will now tell me the truth.

But you believe a Republican Senate that fabricates lies out of whole cloth to deny Obama a SCOTUS appointment in the last year of his Presidency, and then to grant Trump one in the last weeks of his.

You see what you want to see, and hear what you want to hear. The truth is left to molder by the wayside.

Not Religious
Why?
There is nothing new nor interesting.
This was nothing more than a dog and poney show.
The Democrats have nothing to run on this coming Nov and they are just trying to energize their base, which is decreasing daily.
They have lost independent, minorities, and the moderate Democrats probably will not vote. All they have left is the far left.
"Nothing new"
"Dog and Pony show"
Hmm....I've heard a bunch of conservatives mention those exact words since the hearing.
Who taught you those talking points? Fox?
You need to stop letting Fox do the thinking for you. You're more than willing to trust the propagandists over the facts in front of you.
Dangerous.

You went from denying that Biden did what he did to defending to accusing me of lying when all I did was point out that his behavior was the same for which trump was impeached.
Sorry, but it was not I who assumed guilt whereas nothing has been established, and it is not I who is trying to defend the indefensible under both Constitutional law and also basic Judeo-Christian ethics. Thus, you are being your own worst enemy, not I.

And if you don't like what I post, then maybe consider putting me on your "Ignore List".

You are assuming a ton. Why? I've never said a thing about the SCOTUS process on this from.

Why does calling out one set of lairs mean I buy into the views narratives and lies of an other group?

It is very clear that you have prejudged what will said, which is one form of "prejudice". And how do you supposedly know they will be "lying" in advance? OTOH, we pretty much know why based on your previous responses.

Unlike you I think for myself.
FYI I think the first time I heard the term dog and pony show was in reference to Tijuana Mexico.

Lol so you accusing me of being prejudice and making comments about how you already know. I see no need to point out why that make sense.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I’ve got a list of issues with Trump, including abuse of power and spending money we don’t have. However the discussion thread is on the Jan 6 commission which was set up by people with a long record or lying and unethical behavior.
James Goldston.

What an honest fellow for example.

A producer among a "gaggle of democrat panelists" as independent commentary of the affair stated.

You have already shown you are your worst enemy, and I already have done the homework but watched it anyway.

A friend of mine, who's literally apolitical and doesn't vote, watched the hearing Thursday night and concluded there absolutely is not doubt in his mind whatsoever that Trump orchestrated the basic events on January 6th and was plotting to overthrow the government of the United States. No one with an IQ higher than a turnip could disagree with that as so much of the testimony shown was from Trump's inner circle and his own family.

BTW, the next hearing is Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern time for roughly 2 hours, and main focus is proof of Trump/'s plan to overturn the results of the election.

The fun thing about insults is that they tell us a lot more about the sender than the target.

I did not insult you, thus you are "bearing false witness".

When one refuses to even try and get information that can help them understand, that's not my problem nor is it an "insult". Trying to help you understand is not an "insult" as Jesus did the same with the Flock and that certainly wasn't an "insult".

Trying to help someone to understand is simply not an "insult". However, if you keep feeling it is, the solution is very simply-- just put me on your "Ignore List".

Lol I don’t know it’s kind of entertaining that you can’t accept that a person with a normal or even above average IQ could look at evidence and come to a different conclusion than you have.

But you're not even willing to look at the evidence that was presented, some for the very first time btw, so how could you possibly come up with an intelligent opinion?
