Those great patriots who protected the government deserve a statue. Bravely standing up to the tyranny that today goes by the name of the Democratic Party.
Notice how it was ok when Antifa, blm, and other radical lib outlets were burning cars, buildings, looting, and threatening and shooting people with guns last year? But as soon as those lib policymakers become the target they cower and start screaming Insurrection!
Why do the dems even bother keeping up the pretense that it cares about our country? Rational adults can see right through that nonsense.

Build one in your garden. Print up some T-shirts to commemorate Babbit and Angelo. You could start a goFund me page for it.
Don’t just talk about it.

Those were mostly right-wing infiltrators, the same type of people who stormed the Capitol.

Well, the House can do what it wants to keep the witch hunt alive, but the Senate wants no part of it, so once again, the Dems want to waste taxpayer money for yet another frivolous investigation. Go ahead, but without the Senate on board this goes nowhere.

Yeah, they’ll be too busy appointing Fauci’s replacement right?

If you're talking about the Capitol Police officers, who defended Capitol from the hoards of violent Trump supporting insurrectionists, I agree. Especially the families of those whose lives were lost and the hundreds who suffered serious injuries...
I didn't see any "Biden 2020" banners or flags on Jan 6th - Just Trump banners. Confederate flags, and Q T-shirts. Well, and fur hats and horns...and several protesters with their mother...
More "But What About"...it's the only lame deflection Trump supporters have when the Jan 6th insurrection by the MAGA-mob is brought up...
Rational? Sounds like Trump attorney Sidney Powell's defense in her civil suit - "I'm innocent because no reasonable/rational person would believe anything I say"....

So, did you believe her?

Counting votes isn't tyranny, actually.

Hmm, sadly, that dig won't help the House Democrats on this, another failed attempt....

Do you not see the absurdity of that statement?

Only if lived in the land of make-believe.

This is a photo of Republican Representative Andrew Clyde barricading the doors inside the Capitol during the Right's attack:

He's in the middle, the one not wearing a mask.
Clyde's comments on the insurrectionists:
"Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall, showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures. If you didn't know the TV footage was a video from Jan. 6, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit"
With men like this in their ranks, the GOP cannot be trusted to carry out a fair investigation. This is today's GOP.

Feeling anxiety again? Run to Antifa Mountain!
Yes, I know your comments are meant to hijack the thread. And yes, I know my comments help you do that.
But on one point I need your help. I'm trying to establish that when the violence is from Antifa, the Right talks about Antifa. When the violence if from the Right, the Right talks about Antifa.
You can focus on the topic at hand, condemn the violence, and not try to deflect. My bet is very simple: you don't have it in you. And you're going to prove me right.

The GOP could have had a bi-partisan commission in which the minority would have had input into who was subpoenaed. The House GOP rep negotiated in good faith and got everything he was told to get.
The GOP never thought he would get it and panicked. It's that simple.
Now Speaker Peloci can appoint a select committee of her choosing. Contrary to what some are posting, she does not need any input from the Senate. She can name anyone she wants. I would hope she would name a commission along the lines of the agreement, but that is he so purview.
Mitch and McCarthy want to avoid a reckoning because it will trash them in the md-terms.
There WILL be a reckoning. I am not moving on and neither are the vast majority of the American public.
This was an attempted coup of American democracy and there will be a reckoning.

please proceed with this. please, I beg of Dems to proceed. do it, for me.
Put Swallwell and Maxine Waters and Schiff on the committee. Dont forget that Ted Lieu guy too.
Dems will lose the 2022 elections anyway, this will just guarantee a Republican super majority.
