    Right? Must be why Trump's own allies kept begging him to call of the rioters . . . because they knew they were Antifa . . . and everyone knows Trump controls Antifa. He's like their favorite person :roflol:

    Democrats need to be careful, because it looks like there is another 'torpedo running': https://thehill.com/homenews/house/...-tap-mcconnell-about-jan-6-security-failures/

    It probably won't matter much though... the only people who are treating the stupid, totally out-of-control protest on January 6 as an "INSURRECTON" ( :eekeyes: ) are radical Democrats with 'an ax to grind'.

    No doubt about it, the way this big protest march was carried off was stupid beyond belief, and Trump was also stupid for allowing it to be brought off this way, because it became tailor-made to turn into a propaganda carnival for radical Democrats and RINO's. But, an "INSURRECTION"...?! :roflol:. If you've ever been in a country where a real insurrection has taken place, you'll immediately comprehend the vast difference... starting with the body-count....

    Ah, yeah, thanks, I remember. Seems like "keep calm" as well as that "protest peacefully" should make clear his state of mind. The previous day he'd told the acting Secretary of Defense that he'd need 10,000 NGsmen; and Secdef told him "we got it covered". Oh, and didn't eh Mayor of DC decline NG?

    Bet none of that is coming out in Select Kangaroo Committee hearings.

    He's a pathological liar. That's what they do. They even lie about inconsequential things. They are allergic to honesty.

    They aren't actually disputing. They are trying to bully us into accepting their "alternative facts". That's why they worship a hypersensitive, pathological lying conman that can't accept reality (the one we live in).

    Remember, Orange Jesus has had the highest turnover of staff in 40 years. That's because he's a monster. Anybody that kisses his backside is "the best thing ever" and anybody that does NOT "is the worst incompetent fool" (that he is petty enough to fire in a tweet).

    So, if you read their "alternative facts" just know they aren't watching because they don't care what a anti-American pos stupid loser he is. They like that about him and place him above our laws, country and Constitution!

    [NOTE: Keep in mind that systemic bigotry is very prevalent and current in the USA so even accounting for the staff members that resigned under Obama SOLELY because of his race, he still doesn't top Trump.

    The only people that were safe from his wrath were his kids and equally corrupt, dishonest SIL. But, he even threw Ivana under the bus after she testified that she respected Barr's statements about there being no widespread election fraud so nobody is off limits for him trying to avoid indictments.

    Anybody with even basic knowledge of business management can look at his stats and see that is NOT an employee problem. That's indicative of a toxic work environment.].

    What "games" did George Floyd play? Was he trying to break into the Senate Chambers while there were Senators inside?

    He had an extensive criminal background and was resisting arrest, high on illegal drugs. He did not obey orders to stop resisting. Wasn't he warned there would be consequences if he didn't stop? He should have known better. Isn't that what you're saying about Ashli Babbitt, that she deserved to be killed?

    You do get the "prove that the election was fair, lib!" kind of response. Which is tedious and clueless.

    I think it's better to respond. Let them out themselves.

    Wouldn’t have happened without Trump. The indolent Congress was a tool in his hand.

    A few congresspersons engaged the political scheme, but that in of itself isn't or shouldn't be criminal, and that's another part of Pelosi's shameful legacy. She has brought the House back to tensions not seen since the mid-1800's. Who would've thought the House would eat its own(and yes, I condemn marjorle for her misconduct as well)

    If California had any sense, Pelosi would be defeated in her next election.

    Why would anyone waste their time showing you a damn thing? You clearly have made the decision that a vast conspiracy took place that made Jan 6th take place and nothing will ever make you change your dreadfully wrong opinion. There have been videos shown with the officer's gun drawn on the other side of the door. There are also videos of other dipshit traitors such as Babbitt telling their fellow traitors that the officer has a gun drawn. I am not going to waste my time linking them to you because you clearly don't care and fully support these violent dipshits trying to hang the VP and harm or kill other members of congress in the name of trump.

    So… the whole thing is Pelosi’s fault? Baloney!

    Not even a large proportion of the democrats. I would call it dismal.

    1. None of what happened on 1/6 was Pelosi's fault. She does enough shady **** already. No need to embellish.
    2. CA would be stupid to remove Pelosi. She's the highest ranked D in The House. Power = goodies.

    I wasn't referring to 1/6, I was referring to her committee's attempts(successful at that) to subpoena documents by her colleagues in the house. Mind you, I still assert there's a fourth amendment problem with that, because Congress does not have that power. Specifically, our DOJ does and only pursuant to a damn warrant! None of that mattered to the Madam Speaker though.

    2. She's the highest ranked due to her ability to garner donors, but a voter shouldn't care about that. They should care about their elected officials representing them and at the height of the coronavirus response, she posed for a refrigerator video and told the voters to eat cake.

    The House needs a new House Speaker and the opposition party should be trying with each election year opportunity to make it happen by winning an election.

    I very much hope they'll address that question; it's an important one.

    That's not the standard, the standard is comparative TV share, and as TV shares go, it's pretty good, especially when 6 million votes can decide an election,

    It is the standard for a political program. Less than a quarter of the democrats who voted bothered to watch. Even the democrats did not care. Those that did watch were hard core democrats and they were going to vote democrat no matter what.

    They won't, they never intended this to be a fact finding effort; the membership of the committee and the paucity of "defense" witness or cross-examination paints that picture. Stalin would have been proud.

    As has been said many times, this is at least partly McCarthy's fault. But I'm not interested in getting into that again - the discussion never seems to go anywhere.

    I don't understand what "stay peaceful" has to do with going home.

    I mean, I'm sure a defense of Trump will grasp at anything they can, because they're not going to have a lot. But telling an armed mob to march to the Capitol doesn't seem to me like it would be interpreted in any courtroom as "go home".

    I'm absolutely SURE we're not getting all the facts. We knew that from the start that we wouldn't. But we now know what facts are missing. And the DoJ now knows where to find them.

    What we know now is enough to send Trump to prison for the rest of his life. But that's not the most important thing. What is most important is that every single law broken is put on trial so that future dictator wannabes know that they won't get away with anything. And THAT'S the DOJ's task.

    I don't know what you mean. Garland said this was the most important investigation in the history of the DOJ.
    Obviously the purpose of a Congressional Committee is legislative, and not criminal. So it's a different focus, but the facts are facts for both.
