The Jan 6 select committee hearings began yesterday. What may have been a bitter pill seemed to go down with soothing tones of Bennie Thompson’s voice, speaking as the wise adult with tough news to the family. Liz Cheney calm and slightly stern, steady appearance indicated no punches, no jokes, a welcome sober voice to say the results of the lab test they have cooked for months. The rabbit passed away, everyone knew it.
This morning feels cleaner. Yesterday feels like a celebration of truth. Today emerging like a bear in the spring with some fragile hope the truth will root and we will wind our way from the flat edge of the earth becoming round and whole once more.
The thought though - of the moment where the worm turned is a peace to ponder. For one fragile moment there was truth in the 45th presidents presidency. Everyone in the White House knew the election had been lost including the President. For an imagined moment there was a suspended breath in the toxic tumult as everyone paused, a chapter was closed.
