Be honest - all you want is a report that says Trump is poopyhead that planned the insurrection all along an and should be prevented from ever running from office again. I'm confident that Nancy will provide you with such a report.
Exactly. Pelosi's 'Select Commitee' (I'd like to see how those on the committee were 'selected') is little more than political Kabuki theater with the desired results already determined.

I stand on my previous post.
 
I can only imagine your anger that in the 500 prosecutions of the rioters, not a single charge of the lesser crime of insurrection.
It is not the soldiers I care about. It is the plotters who are scurrying to cover their crime that need to be punished. Why else are they trying so hard to block the investigations?
 
They said it was peaceful. Not mostly, not somewhat, not partially. Completely peaceful. That is what people who worship Trump the Terrorist claimed repeatedly - if they were not spreading the repeatedly debunked lie that Antifa and BLM members were among the rioters.
Who is "they"?

Pelosi would have no need for a committee if the GOP Senators had not voted down an Independent Commission. What were they afraid of?
 
Thank God for DC's very strict gun laws. The rioters knew not to bring that kind of weapon. There are records of conversations between Oath Keepers discussing leaving the guns home and posted on Facebook to bring instead mace and gas masks and batons and armor.....to the insurrection... which did happen on January 6th. It will be recorded that way in history books.....your version won't make it in.
Gun laws apply during an insurrection? LMAO

Ask Senile Joey. He's in charge of the cops investigating And has been for six months.
 
I guess some people will support you in your hyperbole, but I'm not one of them.

btw, what do you think about the millions in damage from the riots throughout the 2020 summer? Or do you not care since it doesn't involve a Trump supporter?

Anyway...

Thread dismissed.
No, you are dismissed for your total ignorance as to what happened on Jan 6.
 
There are people, even some here, that have recently said that the events of January 6th, 2021 are irrelevant. They contend that there was no attempt to disrupt out democratic process and therefore is not important while many others believe it was a true attempt to overthrow an election. As you know, many voted against an investigation even though they demand an investigation into election results.

My opinion is simple, it was one of the darkest days in American history and a true threat to our republic perpetrated by the loser of the election. Your votes and thoughts?

If only to remind people there are those who would destroy our government.

Cops don't investigate congressmen for treason.

30-love and yet the republican politicians want nothing done, disgusting from a basketful of deplorables. Remember folks these creatures want back into power in the next election, don't let them have it. Get out and vote in the midterm.

Must have hit one of your few reality nerves left in your body. Of course you're not one of them. Why discuss what happened on january the sixth at the heart of our democratic republican when we can talk about blm and antifa and the cities burned to the ground and millions in damages. By the way, which cities were burned to the ground?

You never fail to disappoint with your opinions.

The gun laws were in effect throughout the city. You think the hotels and public transport were not under close watch? The Oath Keepers knew it...why don't you? The peaceful protesters would not like their guns being confiscated, and metal flag poles and bear spray were available.
 
This question has been asked and answered ad nauseam

It was mostly a peaceful protest that got out of hand and turned into a riot.
Cool, let's see how that defense holds up in court. I think it should be worth at least fifteen years for a few of the true patriots.

That contradicts the leftist assertion that 1/6 was an insurrection. Thanks for confirming for us it was not since they were obeying gun laws.
 
Which of those were for treason?
You'd have to go through the list to see if there were any. I'm not sure.

I support investigations for both the election fraud allegation and the insurrection accusation. Each charge is too serious to dismiss without a thorough examination.

Thwarting a Democrat driven, Democrat controlled and orchestrated, commission allegedly in search of the truth, but which is only going to serve Democrat political interests and purposes in smearing anyone who doesn't toe their political and ideological line (McCarthy Hearings V2 witch hunt), and this is bad why?

You might want to ask yourself why the Democrats want to re-do the IG's report on the matter? It didn't get the desired results or conclusions?
Key Findings of the Inspector General’s Report on the Capitol Riot
Intelligence failures, orders to use less aggressive measures and equipment breakdowns contributed to the Capitol Police’s botched response, a watchdog found.​
The 104-page report is one of the most searing portraits yet of the lapses and miscalculations around the most violent attack on the Capitol in two centuries.​
By Nicholas Fandos, April 13, 2021​

Yeah, so that's a No, it's a hell no, and 'afraid of' has nothing to do with it. The Democrats are playing politics, as usual, with this (and everything), also as usual.
 
Exactly correct and the fact that any Trump supporter is OK with rioters walking through the capitol building shouting "hang Pence" is just mind blowing. How can anyone say that's a peaceful demonstration?
How indeed?

It contradicts nothing. They brought weapons other than guns because bringing guns was pretty much out of the question. You keep trying though!

Oh, I'll pass. You supplied the list as answer to Congressman being investigated for treason, I guess in error.
