Well Look At This: Murdoch Newspapers Find Trump Guilty

The Wall Street Journal editorial board concludes after watching the January 6 hearing: “Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on Jan. 6, and he is still doing it.”

The New York Post editorial board isn’t swayed either: “The best argument Trump’s people can cling to is that the Capitol building wasn’t properly secured. The committee would look far less partisan by scrutinizing these claims. But what’s the logic? You knew Trump was going to incite a mob, so you should have brought in more troops? Trump himself doesn’t deny that he wished the rioters had succeeded in overturning the election.”

1. To be expected

Trump is a media piñata for the GOP while they get ready to anoint DeSantis or whoever.
Meanwhile the GOP controlled media pounds away on Biden keeping his approval numbers below Trump's.
That is how a corrupt democracy controlled by BIG money without a good media arbitrator works.

4. Exactly. GOP will throw Trump under the bus to get DeSantis in the WH.

The DC power brokers have decided how 1/6 will be handled.

5. Yes, DeSantis is now the anointed one.

Some recent straw poll hd him winning over Trump by a significant margin. He’s no better than Trump, though possibly even smarmier. Definitely just as corrupt and definitely just as bad for the country.

6. Perhaps the GOP power brokers have decided how 1/6 will play out.

Trump out.
DeSantis in.

15. He's not 1/2 the conman trump is though. Trump is a different species.

DeSantis is a politician. He doesnt believe half of what he says. Trump believes everything HE says & thinks the world should bend at his will.

2. yes, why did security stand down?

sure. let's look at that. but i dont think it's gonna go like you buffoons think.

9. Buffoons?

10. the buffoons who think that's a gotcha.

13. I don't think they stood down as much as were over run.

If they would've opened fire as soon as the first officers were violently assaulted, it probably would've ended before any members of congress had to be evacuated.

3. Significant

7. Rats deserting the carcass of a ship that's up in flames and sinking.

Talk about clinging, it took them 18 months to state the obvious.

8. They grudgingly admit tfg is guilty, still take the opportunity for dismissing J6C.

Trying to separate Repubs from tfg as though they were not complicit:

The House inquiry into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot launched its TV miniseries Thursday night, and the trick for parsing the proceedings is to keep two ideas in tension. Do Democrats want to unfairly besmirch the entire GOP with the Jan. 6 disgrace, while distracting voters from 8.6% inflation and $5-a-gallon gasoline?

What nonsense. Gas prices are high, so investigating sedition is just a political distraction? Good to know WSJ is this civically involved in the fate of the country. Congressional Repubs, in lockstep and with two exceptions, have closed ranks against publicly admitting any wrongdoing on Jan 6, so yes, we can blame the whole party. Get over it.

Pity the people who went to Washington believing this nonsense, not least the more than 800 who have been charged with criminal offenses.

Why? There is no reason to pity the people who, intent on preventing the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next,

- rioted against USCP and broke into a government building, causing injury and death in the process,
- actively searched for and threatened the Vice President and Speaker of the House with bodily harm and/or death,
- trashed the place to the tune of about $30,000,000 while smearing feces on the walls as they went.

No pity here.

Wow. What a rag.

11. And that was just the first hearing.

12. Trump's supporters have taken "blame the victim" to a whole different level. nt
