The January 6th committee on Thursday unanimously voted to subpoena Trump.
Americans do NOT care about the J6 panel circus show.
Inflation and high gas prices remain top priorities for Americans.
Yet, the media will continue fueling the one-sided committee.

Americans don’t care.
They care about the value of their currency and putting food on the table.
NBC News reported:
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol voted unanimously Thursday to subpoena former President Donald Trump.
Members of the panel, which held what was expected to be its final hearing before the midterm elections Thursday, had previously said that they were still considering seeking an interview with Trump or former Vice President Mike Pence. Sources familiar with the committee’s plans told NBC News of the subpoena earlier Thursday.
The panel’s chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said the committee had an “obligation” to hear from Trump.
“This is a question about accountability to the American people. He must be accountable. He is required to answer for his actions. He’s required to answer to those police officers who put their lives and bodies on the line to defend our democracy. He’s required to answer to those millions of Americans whose votes he wanted to throw out as part of his scheme to remain in power,” Thompson said, acknowledging the move as a “serious and extraordinary action.”
The resolution to subpoena Trump passed with the support of all members, 9-0.
The resolution was introduced by the panel’s vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who called Trump the riot’s “central player.”
A source familiar with the committee’s plans told NBC News the panel plans to issue the subpoena in the coming days.
The panel is on a tight timeframe — the subpoena will expire at the end of this congressional term, and Trump is likely to challenge it.
Chair Bennie Thompson: “We have left no doubt—none—that Donald Trump led an effort to upend American democracy that directly resulted in the violence of Jan. 6.”
“He is the one person at the center of the story of what happened on Jan. 6. So we want to hear from him.”
