Insurrection, Fox, Pardons, Arrests, Next Election, Uvalde Police, 2nd A

Best play in baseball – Best. Play. Ever:

  • Joe Gandelman at The Moderate Voice explains why the Fox Network did not carry the first evening of testimony live on the January 6 insurrection and will offer no live coverage next week.
     
  • I do like a good burn, even when it’s unintentional. An especially sweet neighbor complimented me on my health.
    I just hope I’m that healthy when I get to your age..
    I managed to suppress a chuckle until I was out of earshot.
     
    Tommy Christopher has a more deliberate example. Former Obama official Dan Pfeiffer explains that the Fox Network decision not to carry live coverage of the Jan 6 hearings is an example of journalistic ethics because – aw hell – click to see it.
     
  • Andy Borowitz reports that the real reason the Fox Network can’t, just can’t, cover the Jan 6 hearings is their commitment to reruns of Benghazi.
     
  • News Corpse reports that the Fox Network took unusual steps to counter the Jan 6 hearings. But the number of viewers of the initial opening Thursday night turned out to be much greater than anyone anticipated. Much, much greater.
     
  • Frances Langum examines the logic of a Fox episode that discovers an unusual reason Joe Biden must be impeached.
     
  • Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged considers the final day before President Trump became Citizen Trump: Why did so many Republican office holders feel they needed pardons? And why did they do whatever required pardons?
     
  • PZ Myers catches glimpses of the initial Jan 6 hearing, finds hope but, as an American, knows that when it comes to political spine any hope is false hope.
     
  • It’s speculative, but reasonably so. The Palmer Report points to the strange reaction of Mr. Trump to the testimony of daughter Ivanka and concludes the one-time most powerful individual in the world is having a complete meltdown.
     
  • In Hackwhackers Michigan Republican politics was already a mess after a host of primary candidates got disqualified because of signature fraud. Now, after someone happened to see one of the gazillion videos, one of surviving candidates just got himself arrested for his part in the Jan 6 insurrection.
     
  • Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson has little patience with anyone who participated in the that attempt to overthrow the US government:


    And I feel compelled to add to the conflagration:

  • In Letters from an American, historian Heather Cox Richardson reviews the audience size, the reactions to the insurrection hearing, and the heartburn bubbling through the Republican party.
     
  • CalicoJack in The Psy of Life offers the sort of civics lesson we never considered when I was a lad: how the GOP will steal the 2022 election.
     
  • Nojo expresses a non-high opinion of the Uvalde police.
    Reminds me of Everett Dirksen, who once said he held another US Senator in minimal high esteem.

A few tweets I thought worthy:
