I'm always curious as to how the other side reacts to events.

It kind of boggles the mind how blind they are to what's in front of their noses.

They were absolutely blown away by Jim Jordan's "interrogation" of Cohen.

All Jordan did was to repeat a list of crimes Cohen has confessed to and have him admit that he did them, pointing out that some were not done in service of Trump.

Then Jordan accused Cohen of a vendetta against Trump for not giving him a job in the Whitehouse which Cohen denied saying he was personal attorney to the president which was exactly the position he wanted.

-Jim Jordan is an AWESOME interrogator!

One person did point out that "An interrogator asks questions. He doesn’t make speeches."
But everyone else was ecstatic at how Jim Jordan completely "devastated" Cohen.

I guess they thought Jordan was forcing confessions out of Cohen that no one had ever heard before.

angry angry angry. Those Trumpsters do love them some angry. Fierce, angry, raging, resentful. That angry shit always tells me that I'm dealing with a delusional asshole, out of control, ego-cherishing, toxic person.

Is is any wonder that angry Trumpsters flock to the Trump cult?

In contrast, I saw a calm Michael Cohen. A calm fair Elijah Cummings, A calm careful, focused AOC.

Need I say more?

... and his whole thing was, "So what? We knew that Trump was vain and vulgar! So what!" And then he started listing all these things Cohen talked about that show Trump to be total trash, and this was his way of saying, "See, Trump's a sleaze, but we knew that! He's not a crook though!" while admitting that Trump used charity money to buy a picture of himself for his own use-- which is, uh, a crime.

I think this is the start of a chipping away at Fox. Pretty soon it will be, well, so what, he lied about Trump Moscow. So what if he inflated his assets to get insurance money, and deflated them to avoid taxes. Everyone knows he's a tax cheat, so what?

And each time, they're admitting 1) that he committed a crime, and 2) that they're pretending it doesn't matter.
