I am ! Personally, I believe every American of voting age should be watching these hearings (no matter which side you're on). This is such an important time in US history - and we should all be well aware of what was going on eighteen months ago.
I'm not able to watch them live during the day, but I do watch the MSNBC recap with Rachel Maddow & Co. from 8 pm - 10 pm. I really enjoy their dissecting what was uncovered at the hearings, and what it all links to in the big picture.
I then DVR 'The View' the next day, and see what they have to say about the hearings from the day before - again, I like to see what they are thinking and where their conversation is going.
I am able to watch them live. I watch them on Brian Tyler Cohen's YouTube channel. A good way to watch them. He gives you an up-to-date intro, then once the hearings begin, he does not comment much.
He is also VERY easy on the eyes.
Today's hearing was startling. It provided great video depositions of Pat Cippolone mixed with other Trump, uh, "people," but the hilarious moments were reliabily provided by--you guessed it--Rudy Giuliani and the truly deranged SIdney Powell, who was swigging a can of Dr. Pepper. (If you think that was Dr. Pepper, I have a bridge to sell you).
THEN, to cap it off and give us a cliffhanger, Liz Cheney informed us that Trump called an as-yet unnamed witness THIS MORNING to try to sway this witness' testimony.
THIS MORNING.
Wowee.
There was also the now familiar testimony (live) from citizens whose lives have been ruined by the former "president."
No more hearings until next week, but I am stocking up on popcorn.
Lock him up already. He spearheaded this entire coup and cheered from afar.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I can't watch. It's not fun, and they're not really telling us anything we don't already know. It's obvious who is to blame. Plus I don't want to give myself any false hope that these hearings actually matter or will have any consequences for the evil-doers.

I beg to differ. If you really pay attention - they are telling us so much we are unaware of , so far. Some of the stuff they are sharing is damn shocking. They are doing an excellent job in informing the public AND giving evidence to the DOJ for possible criminal investigations.
I understand people's frustsration with the fact that Donald Trump and his ilk are still walking around, eating McDonald's, brreathing our air, etc etc.
BUT
I do think this time all of us democracy-lovin' Americans may see results. I do not see how Merrick Garland can ignore what has been presented so far (and there is still at least one more hearing, which I suspect will be explosive, and it will be in prime time). It's on July 21st as far as I know. Popcorn time!
I re-watched yesterday's hearing and then caught up on commentary about it. Not on Fox, of course. Are they covering it? Who cares.
A child could cross-examine Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani (simultaneously, even if both drunk adults are sober).
I love it that it came out during the commentary on MSNBC that the sane WH staffers (apparently there were a least a few) referred to Kraken Sidney, drunken Rudy, "General" Flynn (aka The Fifth) as "the Crazies."
"How did she get in??" is a classic line (one of Trump's exasperated lawyers asked this when he went into the Oval Office the night of the notorious unhinged December bull session (aham) and saw Kraken sitting there proclaiming she was gonna get "security clearance." Rudy was busy playing in the Capitol Room all by himself. Awwwwwwww.
Sidney makes Baby Jane look like Golda Meir. Rudy is just ridiculous and sad. Trump is hopefully going to prison.
Whatever gets him in jail. I don't want anyone with that last name running for President ever again.

Maybe I just have news fatigue, with no mental energy left for this. I suppose it might make some idiot "undecided"s finally see the light, but it's still not nearly enough to make up for the last six years. I'll save my popcorn for something else.

Jail. Lolz. Yeah no, it will never happen. All we can hope for is the DOJ convicting him on something and one of the conditions is that he can never run for public office again. Of course, when he gets convicted he will appeal it to death and for years so...we just don't know.
Honestly, Im very exhausted and I want this to be over. Im glad this was on prime time and a matter of public record. Getting everything out there was very vital to this entire thing but I just want it to end.
I would love to wake up one day and find Dump has been arrested. He will not be able to win a national election again, that much is certain. I wonder what all the Dump losers will do if the arrest happens, that frightens me a little.
Certain? Uh, he is the frontrunner at the moment. He will announce soon. To think he could never win an election again is truly delusional. Unfortunately.
When you have GOP anti-abortion nutjobs "testifying" in Congress that a 10-year-old rape victim not wanting to give birth and having to cross state lines to get an abortion is "not an abortion," well, yeah, the horror of Trump could very well continue if WE DO NOTHING TO STOP IT.

I just saw this clip playing on MSNBC. I can't believe what I was watching - 'not an abortion' ?
