    Trump sure failed to make THAT clear to his followers!

    And, all evidence points to him being interested in the exact opposite.

    Here's something else you might love.... I don't know why this cracks me up, but it does...

    Stephen "Dr. Goebbels" Miller has been subpoenaed by the 1/6 committee, and he's suing to withhold his phone records.... naturally..

    However, during his lawsuit, he was forced to announce that he, a former Senior Advisor to the POTUS.....

    (I'll pause for a second while we all relive that bit of horror)

    ...is still on his mommy and daddy's cell phone plan (I believe it's the Unlimited Nazis plan)

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...ler-cell-phone-family-plan-january-6-1319036/

    I wonder what his allowance and chores were during the previous regime??

    Here's yet another thing you might love, someday.

    As much as Republicans in 2022 participate in truly ironic behavior (they they don't understand), I don't believe ANYTHING would jump the shark on the irony meter more than Mark Meadows committing voter fraud...

    SNIP
    Nazneen Ahmed, spokeswoman for Attorney General Josh Stein’s office, confirmed the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows after the New Yorker first reported that the former congressman, who represented North Carolina’s westernmost district, registered to vote in September 2020 using an address he had never visited.
    ENDSNIP

    I'm begging ya here, man upstairs.... please be true...

    Amen. I just noticed an article on that today!!

    It's just plain astounding the total disrespect that the Republican party has for our democracy.

    For what legislative purpose are they investigating what they are putting into Trump's head?

    For what legislative purpose are they investigating his legal political rally that day?

    ??? Not sure where you're going with this.

    The rally is part of the evidence, obviously. And, Trump is certainly one of the perps.

    Congressional investigations and subpoenas are only allowed for the purpose of legislation. Congress is not authorized to simply investigate to investigation and especially not to conduct investigations for the purpose of trying to find crimes committed.

    The rally was perfectly legal and fully authorized with all the necessary permits. Congress does not authorize such permitting nor has anything to do with approvals for it or enforcing such laws.

    Congress has a record of selecting prosecutors to carry out that part of the problem they see. Republicans were WILDLY excited about selecting a prosecutor to go after President Clinton's sexual indiscretions - even though that had absolutely nothing at all to do with governance!

    In this case, the root issue is that assault on the most fundamental precept of our government - democracy.

    Plus, congress can turn over prosecution to the DoJ.

    In this case, congressional power is important in piercing the federal protections that the Jan 6 traitors believed they were working under.

    The Democrats Benghazi does not serve the interest of the United States. It's abundantly clear(and has already been made abundantly clear) that you have about as much of a 'case' here as Russian Collusion. What this serves as, is little more than a waste of our taxpayer dollars, in the midst of a financial and labor shortage issue.

    NO IT DOESN'T. Where on earth did you get that idea. Name be a Special Prosecutor who was named by Congress? Congress has NO constitutional authority to engage in such investigations, you do know about separation of powers?

    And that is a criminal matter not a legislative matter.

    Congress cannot conduct criminal investigations.

    I don't think anyone who was arrested in that riot believed they had any federal protections, what federal protection is there for attacking police and breaking windows? We already have legislation which makes that against the law.

    You should give democracy more respect that that.

    And, you should drive that home with your political party, as they have simply gone off the rails when it comes to our American values concerning government.

    Russia, Iran, etc., have election police. And, now Republicans state that they want that, too.

    It's not a criminal investigation if they don't find a crime.

    Are you suggesting there could be no investigation that WOULDN'T find a crime?

    You might be right about that!

    The only 'election' police I'd ever want, is poll workers and the U.N independent watchdog for free and fair elections. That's it. Anything else invites corruption and thuggery.

    Not sure there's criminality here, but it's now official that the wife of a SCOTUS member was actively pushing to overturn a valid election.

    I'm sure there's a term for somebody who pushes for that, but it escapes me at the moment

    Wow... has anybody read any of these DERANGED texts to Meadows? I'm not sure this lady should be allowed to operate a motor vehicle right now... As they say on Law and Order, I think a court ordered psych evaluation is appropriate.

    SNIP
    “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition.”
    ENDSNIP

    Maybe we should park her nutty ass on a barge off GITMO to cool down a bit...

    What a bizarre person.. Will be interesting when she refuses her 1/6 committee subpoena, and the case goes to the SCOTUS....

    You would have to read the rules forming the committee. I know you have read them, because you posted a mis-read of them a while back.
    It had something to do with a rule they couldn't mark up legislation. And it says that. Read up what a mark up is in relation to a congressional bill.
    It doesn't say the committee can't introduce legislation.
    Then, read the scope of the investigation. I think I saw the kitchen sink scandal in there somewhere. Point being, they didn't leave a whole lot out when they wrote that thing up.
    But I'm sure you know the law better than all those lawyers.............

    But, she didn't break any laws. This will turn into a 1st Amendment thing, if the Commiecrats keep pushing the issue.

    Not with these texts....she also managed to get the hell out of Dodge before the real fun began on 1/6, but those are just a few snapshots in time for a clear nutso....

    Her biggest problem now is not legal, it's perception.... and it's a big un....
