‘Like being in upside-down world’: Times reporter blasts ‘shape-shifting’ GOP Jan. 6 hearing
New York Times Magazine reporter Robert Draper spoke to CNN’s Jim Acosta on Sunday, revealing the Republican Party’s desperate attempt to rewrite what happened on Jan. 6, 2021.
It’s been two years, but as another possible indictment for Donald Trump looms, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) held a 30-minute event masquerading as a hearing, in a small, dark, windowless room somewhere on Capitol Hill.
“It was like being in an upside-down world,” said Draper of the mock-hearing. “And also, Jim, their narratives shapeshift, you know, even within a matter of seconds. Either the Jan. 6th — what took place there was basically peaceful, or it was violent but an Antifa kind of violence, or it was set up by the FBI, thus a feds problem. Basically, their point of view is that they are politically persecuted. There is a two-tier system of justice, but it’s not the well-off whites versus people of color. It’s the ruling class versus Trump supporters.”
The narrative is something that Republicans have desperately been trying to use and reuse as it pertains to everything from Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) weaponization of government hearings and Trump’s indictment, for which he claims he is being persecuted.

Benny Johnson says Patriot Front is the Feds so it’s cool that the Proud Boys are beating them up.

Conservatives don’t cherish “every life”. They do nothing to protect the lives of children and students from rampant gun violence. Please!!

They stop caring years before the child enters school. Basically, as soon as the baby is born, it’s “so long, kid. you’re on your own. stop costing me money.”

I’ve always been nerd-adjacent.
Yeah, my mom and dad’s interracial marriage was illegal until I was a year old and then—later—they struggled to buy a home in their Long Island community because people didn’t want to sell to a Black lady. Good times! pic.twitter.com/03bThLZMYg

It’s a great video story. And a great lead in to the Oppenheimer movie coming out soon.
Watching it, I was thinking that if I had teachers like the folks who created that video, I might have gone into physics instead of detesting it.
She keeps calling the currency “Kronos,” which is what the Klingon planet that blew up was called. I don’t have the heart to tell her… pic.twitter.com/JRmvKTPZmt

You could still learn it. And there are plenty of books for non-scientists that can get you excited about it.

True!
There is so much innovative and interesting teaching/learning material coming out. Not only about physics, but also about so many other subjects.
And my interests far exceed any time and focus I could ever possibly have. A very sad reminder of human finitude.
