    Weird that I assured you of Trump's re-election when I didn't sign-up here until afterwards
    Also weird that I would assure that when I voted for Biden
    Trump will face justice - just like Bill Clinton did lol

    It's fully documented that everything the 1/6 committee has and will do will be preserved for history BY LAW.... Laughable you think this effort from the California Dancing Monkey has any real import.

    Was thinking about this fully. What Democrat/American WOULDN'T want the various clowns to "investigate the 1/6 panel"? Nothing will be found and the 1/6 committee results will just remain in the news for the next 2 years, allowing people to digest what is sure to be several large volumes of political and criminal misconduct around the sedition and attempted coup.

    IOW, Go for it, dummies...

    That's going to be one huge piece of blowback they didn't have with Benghazi, since that event didn't involve Republican generated lawlessness..

    And yet, here you are replying to it.
    As if we needed your permission. By more that 3,000,000 votes, this permission was granted by the Free American People.

    Have you noticed that more and more people are less fooled by the progressive authoritarians? Dem Chickin's is coming home to roost!

    Don't expect an answer for that, they don't have one.

    Historically the GOP does a lot more posturing and pretense than actual accomplishing, so probably not worth a lot of emotional investment.

    The Dems will sacrifice their majority to get things accomplished that are undesired by the balance of the electorate.

    For the GOP, the majority is the ends, they'll engage in pretense to retain the base while doing a little as possible that would enflame opposition; as a result, since 1994 when the majority again resumed changing hands after 60 years of Democrat dominance, the GOP has held the majority for twice as much time and essentially gotten nearly nothing done. The Dems have held the majority for half the time and completed signature accomplishments with every session. When the GOP has resumed the majority, they never seem to quite accomplish actually undoing any of the Dem's accomplishments.

    If you are concerned that we will use the majority as effectively as Dems do, allow me to ease your mind. We won't.

    That never remotely entered my mind.... The only 2 questions I have are how spectacularly they will flame out and on which bogus investigations.

    As I said in some other thread, the only 2 things from recent memory I'd like more answers to are the true origin/spread of COVID (which we will likely never know, but it's worth some effort to try) and the causes of the ****ups in the very early stages of leaving AF.... I know the pat answer is that we "trusted" the AF army to hold out long enough to get all the Americans (who planned on leaving) and useful AF's (eligible to leave) out, but that's ridiculous on it's face.

    Can't think of another Congressional effort the R's might tackle that won't backfire..

    We know the answers to much of that. This virus that was no threat to humans, was deliberately modified to infect humans, in a Chinese bioweapons lab, with US funding. It accidently escaped the lab into Wuhan in the vicinity of the massive crowds of the Chinese New Year, and while the authorities from WHO, the CCP, on down were lying about person to person transfer, 5,000,000 people left Wuhan and seeded the global epidemic.
    I don't recall any GOP congressional efforts that 'backfired'.

    I remember several episodes of Trey Gowdy claiming he was 'fixin' to do something epic, but never actually doing much of anything.

    Yes, Independents were D+2 down from D+12 in 2018. Dems and GOP were both +93 for their respective parties. In total the election went R+3 which means a hell of a lot more Republicans turned out than Democrats, which is unsurprising as Democrat numbers were decimated during the COVID vaccine era.

    https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2022/politics/exit-polls-2022-midterm-2018-shift/
    The GOP will do a great deal of yelling and squawking and deliberately accomplish as little as possible to avoid creating a backlash. They will not wield the power of the majority like the Dems did. They haven't since the Gingrich era.
    Fake news. Between 2018 and 2022, the Independent vote edge for Dems decreased by 5/6ths.
    Yeah, well plug that into the actual results of the 2022 election
    • Dems voted +93 Dems
    • GOP voted +93 GOP
    • Indies voted D+2
    • Overall the election was R+3
    You make two assertions in one sentence:
    1. the Republican Party is still the smaller of the two major parties,
    2. they must win the independent vote to win election.
    Mathematically the only way that the GOP could win by 3 when both parties voted Party +93 and Indies were D+2 is if the Republican Party turned out in much larger numbers than Dems. And the GOP won, despite Indies voting D+2.
    It's not us who bring him into every discussion. Trump isn't favored to win the nomination and this was before his latest tweet where he demands a suspension of the Constitution in order to redo the 2020 election. Get a clue. His own daughter isn't even supporting his upcoming nomination run.

    https://electionbettingodds.com/GOPPrimary2024.html
    Until you get better at analytics I doubt you will find your advice in high demand. We have as large of a majority as Dems had after the 2020 election and we didn't have a winning presidential candidate's coat tails to ride.

    From 2018 to 2022 we went from D+9 to R+3. If you truly had your nose in the data like you would seem to want to indicate, you would be trying to figure out if this trend is going to continue. That's a 12 point swing toward the GOP. I know you have this Indie thing going, but, I've also noticed that you never seem to part from the D-narrative.

    I suspect the Republicans calling for preservation are more concerned with finding out why National Guard Troops were excluded on 1/6 and who made that decision, and some kind of explanation for the videos of Capitol police removing barriers and greeting protesters. Why shirtless horned helmet guy was accompanied by a Capitol policeman all the way to the Speakers Lectern in the chamber while engaged in cordial conversations. Why even though Ashley Babbit was with three armed and armored capitol police on one side of the door, a Capitol police on the other side of the door felt it was necessary to shoot her dead.

    He made a constitutionally protected speech advocating peacefully assembly and protest in front of a huge crowd?

    While I suspect the Republicans calling for preservation will be much more concerned about being infamous than getting anybody's questions answered, even your silly ones...

    For instance, the "Capitol police removing barriers and greeting protesters" is SUPER easy... Those that did were in agreement with the rioters...

    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/11/capitol-police-officers-discipline-jan-6-511352

    All the rest of your questions have probably been answered as well... feel free to look em up... don't be afraid...

    I have no problem with investigation of EVERY politician, but I have a big problem of stopping investigation, no matter if Republicans or Democrats.
    Looks like some Americans think that Republicans are endangered species and should be protected - I disagree.

    Your link has nothing to do with the topic of discussion.

    " Some Democrats had raised alarms that videos had emerged showing officers pulling down barricades outside the building as the mob approached, and others were seen appearing to take selfies with members of the crowd. It’s unclear if any of those actions were covered by the cases described by the department on Saturday."

    Its almost been two years. Of all those arrested for 1/6, only 25% have been charged with a crime. They need to be protected from this corrupt administration.

    Agree, nobody should be arrested for breaking into Capitol Hill screaming Hang Mike Pence.
    Just look on these poor folks, they are so peaceful:
