It’s been going for about a half hour. Took a while for the embed code to become available.

I’m watching it now. It’s fabulous.
Makes very clear that obstruction of justice was a sustained and group effort.

They could reboot “Hogan’s Heroes” and just cast Fat Bastard’s family and fellow mobsters.

I’m seeing nothing in Firefox and Duckduckgo.

I love this.

@mrmoshpotato: I had a hard time getting it to work in Chrome, and then couldn’t get the embed for a while.

They should release it read in a whispering voice, like an ASM R video on YouTube.
Patricia Kayden
Great! Perhaps next time PBS can air this live to get the maximum publicity.

Thanks, Cheryl, that was gripping and wonderful.

Loud autoplay in Chrome on an older iMac. Just saying…
Ohio Mom
I hope they are going to sell a DVD.

It summarizes the ten instances of probable obstruction of justice. Should be plenty for impeachment, and there’s more in emoluments, setting up concentration camps. general corruption of his cabinet, and much more.
It looks like a third of the Democratic House Caucus have come out for impeachment.

I just watched it. It was awesome. So clear and detailed and persuasive.

This is a great idea. My only question is why did it take so damn long for this type of event to be organized?

In response to Nazis and Christofacists attacking the Hamilton Pride Parade, and the Hamilton Police not doing anything because “they wern’t invited to Pride”,
The Hamilton Police have started arresting gay activists,…….

Features Bill Moyers, Kevin Kline, Viola Davis, Michael Shannon, John Lithgow, Gina Gershwin and a few folks I can’t immediately place.

lawworksaction.org has a replay up on their website now. You can view it at your leisure. Well worth it, both for the content and for John Lithgow’s performance of Trump’s obstructive comments and tweets!

@Mike in NC: The full cast is listed on the Laws Works site, see tne link @Ohio Mom:

It was remarkable. Makes the obstruction so clear and real.
As anticipated, Trump trolls are saying it’s all made up.
Full video is also on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8zUblhfv6GI

Annette Bening bears a striking resemblance to Elizabeth Warren aside from the dark hair.

@Cheryl Rofer:
I’m curious who the holdouts are. I’m still convinced that Pelosi is not actually anti-impeachment, but she doesn’t have enough of a majority to override the holdouts in the caucus. It would be horrendous if the vote to impeach failed because a group of Democrats voted with the Republicans.

OT – One for Steve in the IPC, from Charlie:
I like it! :-)
Cheers,
Scott.
Cheryl Rofer
@Mnemosyne: Yes, it would be horrendous. And Pelosi knows how to count votes. But I’d like to see more public statements that this president is unfit for the office. It’s the leadership’s responsibility to whip votes. I’d love to hear some of those conversations.
I haven’t seen a list of those who have come out in favor of impeachment. If I do, I’ll share.

@Cheryl Rofer: Only a third of dem cong critters is on board with impeachment is pathetic.

@Cheryl Rofer
Important to continue differentiating between supporting impeachment and supporting holding impeachment hearings. They are not interchangeable; the latter (obviously) provides potential impact on the former.

This one, about 5.5 min long, is put out by Now This (dir by R Reiner).

I get video but no audio.
(Yes, Yes, I did all those things, thanks.)

Thanks for the link Cheryl, that was superb, and I’m passing the youtube link along.

Where was the stage?

@Ken:
Shatner is Canadian.
See William Shatner sings O Canada.
James E Powell
@Mnemosyne:
I agree with this and believe we ought to be trying to find out who the holdouts are.
NotoriousJRT
Thanks, Cheryl. That was excellent. Lithgow was wonderful.

@NotMax: On a related note…. This what Christofascists’ rollback of protections against anti-trans discrimination looks like. “Religious freedom” for healthcare providers meant a friend was afraid to go to the ER of a Catholic hospital because she’d have to disclose that she’s trans and she was concerned about how she’d be treated (or not treated at all).

For context, 23% of transgender people avoided going to a doctor when sick or injured out of fear of discrimination in the past year. 33% of transgender people who saw a health care provider in the past year were harassed, denied care, or even assaulted, per: https://protecttranshealth.org/
