It wasn't me that initially asked. I think you need to go back to your original accusation and read from there. I don't think it's incumbent on me to provide evidence that she didn't lie.

Fortunate for the nation that there was no national emergency to deal with on that day. Other than an insurrection of course. He would have been like George Bush on 9/11.

Obviously I'm not. Go back and read my post.

Don't you now think you need to retract your claim that Hutchinson lied absent any evidence or proof? A denial by the accused's lawyer doesn't constitute evidence.

I'm shocked. That's a core problem, you've made disparaging remarks about the video without actually watching it. Why are you wasting everybody's time?

The article you linked here does not reference the handwritten note which you relied upon to accuse Hutchinson of lying. You are deflecting. You need to provide evidence that the note was not written by Hutchinson.

Your appeal to "believe" Trump's attorney does not establish that Hutchinson lied. Do you have evidence that she lied or are you just voicing your opinion? The article implies that the committee verified the handwriting as Hutchinson's.

Trump's attorney is not a credible or independent source. From your link. In response to Herschmann's claim, a spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee said, "The committee has done its diligence on this and found Ms. Hutchinson's account of this matter credible. An attorney for Hutchinson did not respond to a request for comment from ABC News, nor did Meadows.

Those aren't my words. That is the editorial opinion of a widely read conservative newspaper. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washington-examiner/

Trump proven unfit for power again Trump is a disgrace. Republicans have far better options to lead the party in 2024. No one should think otherwise, much less support him, ever again. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/trump-proven-unfit-for-power-again

It's not my aim to be remembered. I'm pushing back against those who think his video is even controversial. He is right on point, socially aware and woke in the proper meaning of those words.

Who mentioned that hippies was derogatory? Anybody? Do you have a point?

I think you know better. Does the fact that you know the left wing object to this labeling make any difference or cause you to exercise deference and restraint? If not then your intention must be to insult.

Just can't stop with the far right epithets. It's pathetic and juvenile.

It depends on the context, right? And the two words may differ little but the intent and motivation behind them is totally different. You can't serious claim that these words are used in a neutral fashion. Nobody buys that.

White people can't claim to be victims of racism. They'd have to show actual systemic disadvantage to do so. Racism isn't just words, that's the least of it. If it was just words it's be a free speech issue. Racism is a historical pattern of actions resulting in systemic disadvantage. Racial equality was not suddenly switched on in 1964.

I wasn't the one who dragged out the "woke" epithet. Did I see a single right winger here push back on that? Nope. Do you deny that the right wing absolutely loves to label the left as woke and lefties? https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-npr-goes-woke-hilarious

So the AR-15 isn't a particularly good hunting rifle otherwise it would have got a mention. The AR-15 is nothing other than a weekend warrior icon. It is particularly good for killing lots of people quickly and in a most vicious manner.

January 6 testimony puts Donald Trump in even greater legal peril In raising Giuliani’s interest in a pardon, Hutchinson also testified that Trump’s former attorney may have also been central to a crime with respect to his seeming knowledge of what the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups were planning for January 6. “Oath Keepers” and “Proud Boys” were words heard at the White House when Giuliani was around the complex in the days before the Capitol attack, Hutchinson testified at the hearing. The new connection between Giuliani and the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys raised the spectre that the former president’s then attorney was broadly aware of the intentions of two far-right groups – whose senior members have since been indicted for seditious conspiracy. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/29/january-6-donald-trump-mark-meadows-rudy-giuliani

yeah, nah. It's directly relevant and true that Carlson is the best known champion of labeling lefties. The right wing needs to deal with the detritus that it has embraced over the last few years.

From a hyper right wing rag this story is telling. If you read nothing else read the last paragraph of the WE link. In an op-ed this Wednesday, the Editorial Board for the Washington Examiner declared that the testimony Tuesday from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson "ought to ring the death knell for former President Donald Trump’s political career." "In short, Hutchinson was a conservative Trumpist true believer and a tremendously credible one at that," the Board writes. "She did not overstate things, did not seem to be seeking attention, and was very precise about how and why she knew what she related and about which testimony was firsthand and which was secondhand but able to be corroborated." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/trump-proven-unfit-for-power-again https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2024-2657581297/

Who would have thought? An attorney for Virginia "Ginni" Thomas argued that she should not have to testify before the Jan. 6 Committee because she has been subjected to a "particularly stressful time." Thomas has previously said that she "can't wait" to be interviewed by members of the House Jan. 6 Committee. https://www.rawstory.com/ginni-thomas-stressful-time/

No they are not. https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/03/best-hunting-rifles-meet-the-top-5-on-the-planet-today/

How is being the dictionary definition of "woke" destructive. It really does mean nothing more than being enlightened and aware of the truth of racism and it's extent and prevalence in societies. How can that be a bad thing? It really is just being used as pejorative by the right. along with other theoretically neutral words like "lefty", "tree hugger" and I don't need to go on but you get the idea. The tendency to use labeling to disparage those one does not agree with is a a cop out when one can't or won't debate issues rationally and civilly. Again, not directed at you, I'm just pointing out the modus operandi most commonly employed by the right and popularised by the likes of Tucker carson.

The word can be used as part of a derogatory sentence or more but as a stand alone word I contend that it isn't derogatory. Almost any racial descriptor can be used in a derogatory way of course.
