Protestors storm capital

41,000 hours = 1,708 days = 4.6 years

There are 260 workdays per year, at 8 hours a day that would be nearly 20 years of full-time work.

Yeah, each member of the Jan. 6th committee should have watched all of it and shared their findings sometime in 2041, except I bet a lot of them will no longer be alive then.

Maybe it is just me but I don't get a lot of insight from Beau, generally speaking, having watched oh maybe a dozen or so of his videos now. I think he has some interesting thoughts, but they typically seem to be of the "duh, of course" variety for me. He spoke a lot about how the things people were saying about the 2 sides being the same were not very insightful, then proceeded to give us no real insight, just repeating the same thing over and over, the US in general is authoritarian-right. I mean I agree with him but he could have pared this video down to maybe 4 minutes total and gotten the same message across.

I agree with what you're saying in one sense. In another, one of the primary teaching imperatives I've been told is the need for repetition. Often, saying the same thing just twice is not enough.

Hey @One Brow we ever figure out who the poster was that threatened to kill Trump on this very forum?

They didnt even watch the part where the Buffalo Dude was escorted in dummy. What a stupid point. The committee didn't even watch footage? You do realize a vast majority of that was video of nothing right?
 
Just want to ask a random question. If I had video footage but I wasn't sure what it was of how would I find out? I mean maybe it's really important or maybe it's nothing.

I'm really racking my brain on this but I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

I get that. Churches are built on that concept. Maybe that was why I didn't get much out of it, I already understood what he was saying.

Most videos and pictures have some kind of meta-data embedded in it that can show all kinds of things, like location, date and time, and sometimes even a username or something from the device where the video originated.
 
If a committee literally made to understand Jan 6th had video evidence of the main face of the Insurrection by Democrats own words being escorted by Federal officers into the chamber, even opening doors...Why would they not watch it?

Part of it is that he isn't necessarily speaking to you and me, the people who understand nuance very well, but trying to get his point across (generally) to everyone who comes across it.

Look at the file extension to get the video type and search for a metadata editor that supports the video type.
 
Much like how conservatives only care about debt when a Democrat is in the White House, where was this concern over our police state when the president was demanding that governors “beat the crap” out of protesters? Remember when Bill Barr was having unidentified goons throwing people into unmarked vans during the summer of 2020? I don’t recall a certain poster calling for reform after George Floyd was murdered (maybe I just missed it). For years now we’ve had debates on this board about police reform and yet usually the conversation devolves into another tribal fight where people divide along predictable partisan lines.

I think many of us would like to see some changes with how American citizens are monitored and policed. I’d personally love to see the Pat Act expire, the DHS abolished/severely reformed, police unions crushed, and the war on drugs ended. But it’s going to take a concerted effort over the long-term to enact the necessary changes to our judicial system and law enforcement. And it might require you going against your tribe at inopportune times politically.
