Given Machin's Resolve, Is It Really Worth Wasting Time Investigating trump’s January 6th Coup Attempt?

As the corporate controlled moderate Senate Democrats do all they can to aid the GOP’s destruction of our constitutional system, is it worth wasting the time investigating the January 6th coup attempt by trump’s insurrectionists?

Joe Manchin has taken the lead for the moderate Senate Democrats. His ongoing protection of the filibuster and his steadfast opposition to the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 represents the agenda of the moderate, corporate controlled Democrats in both chambers. While Manchin has become the singular voice for the moderates, and takes all the heat, it’s impossible to understand the moderates’ motivation to join with the trumpublicans to use next year’s Mid-term Elections to end our two party system.

Regardless of the moderates’ motivation, Manchin’s efforts are single-handedly making the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th coup attempt... irrelevant, and any resulting convictions of congressional trumpublicans involved in the failed coup... worthless. Following the Republicans’ retaking of the congressional majority on November 8, 2022, those convictions will be vacated.

So, is there any real value in continuing the Committee’s investigation? National polls have Biden’s approval rating cratering, and Manchin has any positive legislation for average Americans stymied, so all the red states’ voter suppression laws will stand.

With Manchin’s invaluable help to the trumpublicans, after November 8, 2022, this nation’s government will, inevitably, fall to the fascists. And, again, due to Joe Manchin, there isn’t one damn thing this country’s majority of voters can do to stop it.

The GOP Ruined Its Brand. Manchin Wants Dems to Follow Suit.

He may frame his support for the filibuster as centrist pragmatism, but it represents the same kind of ideology-over-reality thinking that a new poll shows is sinking the GOP.

What does Manchin have to do with the House investigation? BTW, Manchin is a pompous, self-serving asshole!

1. The FBI investigated and found no evidence of an organized "insurrection", so why was the Capitol so lightly defended???

Exclusive: FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated - sources

The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

www.reuters.com

FBI investigators did find that cells of protesters, including followers of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups, had aimed to break into the Capitol. But they found no evidence that the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside, the sources said.

2. The GOP should be able to appoint whomever they want. Jim Jordan won't be bullied, but he will ask valid questions, like why was the capitol so lightly defended after the FBI's warning? Will Nancy be a witness to explain why she ignored the FBI's warnings????

3. The Capitol is not Trump's responsibility its Nancy's.

Capitol Police warned by FBI, NYPD of risk of violence at Capitol: report

FBI and New York Police Department (NYPD) officials warned U.S. Capitol Police of the risk of violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 amid the planned protests against certifying the Electoral College re…

4. Nancy couldn't defend the capitol from goobers like these guys???????

So how would you investigate this? The question is NOT why the Capitol was so "lightly defended." It is why and how was the U.S. Congress attacked, and who was involved. Anyone with a security clearance at least should be compelled to testify UNDER OATH.

jordan is a stupid bully who would do nothing but throw toddler tantrums. He is not even qualified to be on the Hill in any official capacity. He's nothing but a teenage street-corner hustler. He's not a man.

How would YOU compel him, since he probably is a witness, and the Flynns, and even trump to testify?

Remember that the republicans voted down having an investigative commission comprised of equal numbers of republicans and democrats, with full subpoena power. How do you explain this?

The capital wasn't attacked lol

That is nothing more than juvenile level hyperbolic bullshit ment to invoke "feelings"

Some morons decided to take their "mostly peaceful" protest into the building.

1. It was investigated, by the FBI, and the perps are going to prison. There was no "conspiracy".
2. Yes the question is "why was the capitol so lightly defended after the FBI and NYC warnings". A proper police presence would have stopped the riot before it got started.
3. Jim Jordan will get to the bottom of why the capitol was so lightly defended, either now or in 2023.
4. What evidence do you have for Jordan to be a witness? He had nothing to do with the riot or the defense of the capitol building.
5. Why waste time on a "commission" when the FBI already has the case solved? Ans: a partisan witch-hunt of Republicans, while protecting "witch Nancy" and her dereliction of duty to protect the capitol. What answers would the "commission" be looking for that the FBI didn't already find?

So true, but he is the willing representative of the corporate controlled, moderate Democrats, in both the Senate and the House. Manchin, all by himself (with token help from Kyrsten Sinema) is stalling all legislation sponsored by progressive Democrats. These pieces of legislation are all that stand between maintaining the United States' democracy and, by extension, our constitutional government, and the United States falling to the fascists.

What is behind the corporate controlled, moderate Democrats' reasoning is unknown. After all, a takeover by the fascist trump Nazis and their orange-tinted führer, means the end of the corporate controlled Democrats, AND, their corporate benefactors.

Are the moderate Democrats totally unaware of the past six years of U.S. history?

Coup attempt my ass. I'll just stand over here and LMFAO at your ridiculous thread. Good Lord.

If I was in the 'get-Republicans-elected' business I most surely wouldn't welcome Texas going all 'cowboy'........and pissin' off the gals.

But it won't be "the gals" as one homogenous group. It will be more like "half the gals". Either way, many millions of Americans believe it's the moral choice and if it costs an election, the nation is pretty much done, anyway. No doubt the Left will try a scorched earth campaign with that issue at center but the chaos this nation is experiencing under the current administration is going to focus the minds of people on many other issues that will seem more important to their daily lives. Just my 2 cents...

This kind of maniacal rhetoric is what will eventually light a fire in this nation. There are no "Fascists" unless you count the data barons and other mega-corporate scum that own too much of congress. That's happening on both sides of the aisle. You seem to believe whatever news source that's pushing that drivel. Your party is on schedule to collapse next year and it has feck-all to do with anything Republicans or Trump supporters have done or will do. Your senile buddy, Mr. 81 Million his own self, is driving this train and when it goes off the cliff, all the tears and smears aren't going to save you guys. Enjoy! YOU EARNED IT...
