Final January 6th Hearing

 Just got done watching "the final" installment of the January 6th Committee hearings. In fact, it may not be the final hearing, but it is the final hearing before the midterms at any rate. 

Of course, the evidence presented is irrefutable and quite damning indeed. Nonetheless, there are those who feel it is important to hear all of this evidence and that those guilty of insurrection and sedition should be held to account, and there are those who simply don't care. They don't want to hear it. In fact, they have not watched it and their favorite rightwing channels have not televised it. Their minds are made up, evidence or no evidence, hearing or no hearing. They feel that by not caring, they are "owning the libs". 

I see the strangest statements from these folks on Facebook responses. "It was a partisan committee! No Republicans were chosen to participate!" They seem not to have heard that Pelosi invited Republican nominees and merely rejected the unreasonable candidates put forth by the minority leader. McCarthy was perfectly free to nominate more serious candidates but chose not to do so. How have they not heard this? Well, I believe they have, but guess what? They don't care. 

"The hearing was a flop, they say. "Nothing was found!" How so? Well, because they did not listen to the hearing and the findings were not reported by their favorite "news" channels. 

But anyway, as I said, the die is cast. There are those who care and there are those who don't care. It's all pretty dreary, really.
