Women’s Rights, Cassidy Sings & Stings, Tamper, Tantrum, Lynch Lunge

  • For a while, we have been told by prominent Republicans that the American public is simply not interested in anything the Jan 6 panel has to present. News Corpse has the numbers, and it turns out the latest ratings are shattering records.
     
  • In Letters from an American, noted historian Heather Cox Richardson examines the explosive, what-in-hell, earthshaking testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson the young intern that Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows included in pretty much every meeting everywhere he went in the White House.
     
    And Boy Howdy! He went a lot of places!
     
  • driftglass gets down to the one singularly critical fact in Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony.
     
  • The Propaganda Professor listens to testimony about the Jan 6 lynch mob insurrection and sees a vast coverup unravel on our screens.
     
  • Heroic young intern Cassidy Hutchinson testifies under oath that someone told her about Donald Trump throwing a tantrum when denied the chance to personally lead the lynch mob storming the Capitol. The story includes him lunging toward the steering wheel. Others confirm that was the gossip floating through and around the White House at the time. So she pretty much had to be telling the truth.
     
    It is a side detail to the critical point that the then-President of the United States was hell bent on committing treason.
     
    Tommy Christopher picks it up from there, as a couple of Secret Service agents are said to be ready to eventually testify that Trump never actually grabbed the wheel.
     
    Which means the intern was lying.
    Okay, it doesn’t mean that at all, but why let the truth interfere with a good story?
     
    And now: Oh Lordy there’s video!
    Of the Presidential vehicle with some commotion going on inside.
     
    Well-l-l…
    It’s blurry and seems ambiguous to me. At least at first glance.
     
    Is it authentic? Was it taken during the right time frame? Is it even Trump inside?
     
    For all I know it could be a Stormy Daniels fill-in performing all the frantic motion.
     
    Technology and sharper eyes might resolve things. Or some clumsy Trump denial might inadvertently confirm the gossip that Cassidy Hutchinson heard.
     
    Meanwhile, there is always the old story Bill Buckley used to tell. When accused of killing three men and a dog, the accused triumphantly produce the dog alive.
     
  • Frances Langum reacts to the newest defense of Mr. Trump. Ms. Hutchinson must be lying about what was told to her by others. The then President could not have tried to grab the steering wheel of the Presidential limo. Couldn’t have happened.
     
    Why? Because he’s too damn fat!
     
    THAT is their story and they’re sticking to it.
     
  • Andy Borowitz reports as former President Trump denies ever knowing ketchup.
     
    I especially like this fictitious quote:
    “Using ketchup is a disgrace, and it should never be allowed to happen in our country,” the former President said.
     
  • Dave Columbo channels the Secret Service denying whatever today’s revelation is about Mr. Trump:
    @davecolumbo About time we got some clarification! #democrat #politicaltiktok #democratsoftiktok #political #january6 #politicalhumor #foryou #fy #fyp ♬ original sound – Dave Columbo


     

  • Now that the dust is settling, and the important points of Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony are confirmed, the Palmer Report comes across additional reports on the Secret Service. Far from contradicting her, agents are confirming what she was told: that Mr. Trump, during a raging temper tantrum, really did lunge at the steering wheel of the limousine in which he was being driven. He was screaming orders to allow him to lead the lynch mob to hang Mike Pence.
