No interest in it, because nothing will come of it. The fact that Trump wasn't frog marched off to a holding cell on 7 January is a pretty strong indication that the US is done. The fact that no one of consequence has been jailed seventeen months later tells me that the Democrats are trying to take the high road while the Republicans are hard at work on building a subway to Hell.

If, in fact, Trump and his evil spawn were carted off to prison (and not in one of those county club jails) I would not only watch with rapt attention but would probably record it so that I can watch every morning to start my day with a smile and a snicker.
A side of Mitch the Bitch and a few others going the same way would be icing on that cake.

That' s the ( D ) way.....
The " We gotta DO something" mentality that produces stupid, short sighted results.
Nothing substantial will come from it - but it will put the anti- gun faction on the back burner. Good go.
Enjoy the show....

It’s been nearly a year and a half since The Unpleasantness At The Capital (since the word ‘insurrection’ seems to give you the fantods) - where are the ‘stupid, short sighted results’?

So, it doesn't matter what goes on as long as elementary schools can still be shot up on the regular?

Facts matter. Upholding the Constitution matters. "Boring" or "political theater" or "useless" all miss the point in my opinion.
The problem is that for a large faction of the population, facts don’t matter, or they can’t tell the difference between a fact and a falsehood. It literally doesn’t matter how much evidence we have on the guy, which, based on what we already know, seems to be a ridiculous amount such that no rational person could deny what Trump tried to do with the 2020 election. But the reality is that it isn’t going to move needle one bit with regard to the voters. When are Dems going to learn that “look how awful Trump is!” is a lousy strategy? It failed them in 2016, and it’s going to fail them again. These hearings aren’t going to distract people from the fact that the party hasn’t been able to find its ass with both hands for two years.
Repeated lies gain more strength over time, but luckily so do repeated truths. As long as liars are relentless, so must honest people be.
And really, for those who represent us, it's their job regardless of the outcome. So no, this isn't about winning or losing, although many Republicans would like us to think it is.
Your condemnation of Democrats is therefore a false equivalence in my opinion, likely borne of frustration with Republican obstruction.

They' re so busy trying to ass rape Trump over a stump - that they're focusing attention away from the school shooting problem.
But hey - it makes the constituents happy so it must be good for the party, right???
And what' s good for the party - is good for the party.

We saw how Donald Trump’s supporters knocked a female Capitol officer unconscious. The “law & order” “back the blue” party violently assaulted a female police officer.
Why hasn’t the Republican Party or Fox News condemned this?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Saw part of it, SO wanted to watch The Handmaid's Tale, so recorded the rest. I'd be willing to chip in to pay Fox viewers to watch it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

But I will watch the Utah firing squads that hopefully follow.
I always thought the French before the revolution had the right idea. They would tie the limbs of offenders like trump to horses so each limb can be pulled off. As it turns out, while human limbs are easy to dislocate, they are surprisingly hard to actually rip off, no offense to Chewbacca. Last time the French tried, the poor horses worked so hard they collapsed from exhaustion, and had to be replaced by fresh teams of two horses to each limb. The teams of horses still could not manage. The executioners took pity on the horses and decided to help by cutting the muscles in trump’s, uhem, I meant the offender’s, limbs before the horses finally managed to pull the limbs off. The process took 4 hours.
Poor horses.
