The vote killed the best chance for an independent accounting of the deadly Capitol attack, which Republicans feared would damage them politically.

Yes indeed. Republicans are implicated in the crime and so they are covering it up.

We could have avoided 33 Benghazi hearings if the Benghazi attackers had just been Republicans attacking the US Capitol.
 
There is a memorial in Berlin of politicians who were murdered for opposing Hitler.



On the other side of that ledger, here is a list of the Republicans who voted against democracy yesterday:



Every day they get worse.
 
It's something the Republicans can give the working class trump supporters.

They'll get trump supporter votes and it doesn't cost them a dime.


Meanwhile the trump tax cuts for rich people saw a man making a million dollars a year save $69,900 a year in taxes, and that's every year, forever.

And trump gutted the IRS so that the IRS can't collect taxes from the rich.

These are the things real Republicans care about, helping the rich.

See what I mean?

​

The Arizona Senate, apparently not satisfied with one recount, is close to signing a deal for its second review of Maricopa County’s 2020 general election ballots.
The effort would expand the ongoing audit and is expected to use a new and largely untested technology.

Nope! No bamboo here! What next?

You are confusing an investigation, with a circus....
 

Tell me, if you are suspecious of a count of votes, and the same people who counted the votes that you are suspecious of, count the same ballots that you are suspicious of and you think that resolves it?

A guy with a hat with horns on it and other unarmed protesters walked through the capitol building.

We need an investigation why exactly?

Maybe we should have a Congressional investigation into the 2020 election fraud?

You on board with exposing all that fraud in public via Congressional investigations?

There was massive fraud. Why do think Perkins Coie has been hired to utilize Goebbeslsian tactics to indoctrinate the public by demonizing the investigators just like Cochran did to get OJ off?

Should Congress expose this massive fraud to the public?

Or should Congress just ignore it so that the people who believe the truth are treated like CT nuts?

The only reason you want an investigation is to embarrass Republicans. Let’s investigate the Marxists in the BLM and Antifa first.

How many counts are we going to do?

I have posted this a million times. If you count phony ballots twice you are gonna get the same number. five times, you still get the same number. A hundred times...yep. The same result.

But, if you price there was fa=raud and/or that there were people voting illegally, ten times, or fake people or in another state, you get quite a different result.

I hope this helps.
 
This was a shameful vote. Those who opposed a bipartisan investigation into the January 6 insurrection will either be remembered as disgraced, cowardly, and unprincipled individuals in history or worse, as minor actors who paved the way for the ultimate destruction of the American constitutional framework. Odds favor the former scenario, but ongoing constitutional retrogression leaves open the latter scenario.
 
Putin got his money's worth with Trump. Putin's objective was to undermine confidence in our elections and that is where we are, absent any real evidence that ballots were "phony."

Mail-in voting fraud is nearly impossible to commit

Election officials and the FBI say it's almost impossible to pull off fraud via mail-in ballots. Spreading disinformation about voting-by-mail is much easier.

Now, we have Republican controlled legislatures ushering in an era where if a Democrat wins the state, they'll decide to award the state's electoral votes to the Republican instead.

Regarding the Jan 6th commission, Republicans just don't want the public to learn which elected officials were complicit in the insurrection attempt. They don't want citizens to learn what Trump was saying behind closed doors. Republicans are so far up Trump's ass they can't breathe.

There was fraud in many states if you consider late voting, no signature verifications, mail boxes on every street corner in the hood but nowhere else.

Actually, one. As in, there is something wrong in our legislative branch when 1 holds more power than 51.

We already know what happened on January the 6th. It was a peaceful demonstration by every measure you liberals used for Antifa and BLM RIOTS!
