We cats decided to allow Rachel Maddow brief us last night on the key points of Benedict Donald's January 6 indictments. We figured it would be helpful before we read the actual document.
We lasted a little shy of 32 minutes. When Chris Hayes started bashing Dark Merrick, we shut the TV off. (Because CNN is no alternative.)
As one Republican put it in The Atlantic, "The indictment handed down today challenges every American to put a shoulder to the wheel and defend our Republic in every peaceful, legal and civilized way" possible.
In short, this is existential. So we will brook no silly criticism of someone who is steadfast on the side of democracy — particularly when he's the head of the Department of Justice, which necessarily operates opaquely to protect the rights of defendants. Any airhead pundit who sits there and pontificates like he knows what's going on at DOJ is full of soiled kitty litter.
MSNBC has become insufferable for us — particularly Hayes, the ever-repetitious Rachel, and (GACK!) Andrea Mitchell. They make us hack up endless hairballs. We'll stay temporarily tuned in to hear Lawrence O'Donnell, Joyce Vance, Barb McQuade, George Conway and John Heilemann. But if they're not there, our screen stays dark. We cats HISS.
