Another shitty headline. Dude might be a father, but he’s also an insurrectionist who carried the traitor’s flag into the US capitol. Calling him a “dad” softens what he did.

Are they going to be late now?
It was supposed to start at 10am and now the PBS Newshour’s live stream says 10:15?

Okay… the Newshour started their coverage… just in time for me to need to leave the house… I guess I’ll force the kid to listen on the radio…

I just finished reading that, seems like a legitimate reason. The article noted they have previously recorded testimony from him that they will play instead, so probably not a big deal.

In news that will shock no one, election-fraud-claiming lawyer/human cartoon character Lin Wood has recently come out as a Flat-Earther.

Watching live; one of the tidbits that just popped up I hadn’t heard before is that Trump baselessly believed “the Indians” (meaning Native Americans living in tribal reservations) were being paid to vote against him.
Very on-brand for a guy who has been a vocal bigot against native peoples for decades.

Reminder:
All those Bill Barr recordings we’re hearing today describing how unhinged Trump was and how he had to push back against all the bullshit and lies doesn’t redeem him at all because the guy says that he’d still vote for Trump again, despite everything:

Barr is definitely an irredeemable bastard but if anything the fact that he still identifies as a Trump supporter makes his damning testimony even more credible since he can’t be dismissed as a “RINO” or a “Never Trumper” with a grudge.

Confirmed lots of what we all thought. That he just ignored everyone who told him the truth and pushed on with the big lie. Everyone who testified today was a republican, too.
