Well, good morning, Vietnam!!
A lot to chew through on this singular thread. I have a full dance-card today, so will hurry this along.
First, let's get the TrumpCult RWNJ hyperbole out of the way. I'll just lump four of them together for illustration purposes and then dismiss them with prejudice.
So here are a handful of silly-isms and also some posts of insight and value.
First, the silly-isms:
See? RWNJ Jackassery on parade. IMHO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ummm?
"More division"?
I don't think so.
It is divided this way: Trump Cult on the far right. Never Trumpers on the far left. In between is the vast vast majority of Americans who were appalled by what they watched on the telly on January 6th.
A thorough autopsy on the events of that day.....what happened, who is responsible for what happened......must be performed publicly and in the most transparent way possible.
Hence, we have a Congressional Committee gathering and vetting as much information as is discoverable, testimony, paper-trails, camera-captures, and presenting it to the vast vast majority of American people on the telly in prime-time.
Good for them. Good for America. We must not shirk from finding and exhibiting the truth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ummm? Poster krzr, do this: Sit down on Thursday, and on subsequent hearing-days, and watch with keen interest. Hell, keep a blue-line and pencil handy and take notes. By doing such, you may learn if there is a "prosecutable case"; you may learn if there was a crime committed; you may learn what evidence has been marshalled.
After doing such, if you would......please share with the forum your determinations.
But remember, you gotta look. You can't see if you don't look.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, they did not.
We Americans got what we got on that Committee, because the Republican leadership decided to stonewall it because.....because, well, because they were really really uncomfortable with what might be discovered about House member's involvement in the attempt to subvert the election. I truly believe the violence of the Trump supporters shocked them. Dismayed them. And ever since they have scrambled to avoid getting any of that poo on their shoes. Hence, the refusal by GOP leadership to help pick a bi-partisan 9/11-type commission of independent scholars and experts. Hence, the poison-pilling of the current committee by nominating suspects-to-the-riot for it.
I hope I am clear enough on that.

Well, poster WP, before you go beyond your #1, let us simply and emphatically say: No, we do not know all the facts already. Hence, I would sincerely suggest you sit down in front of your telly with a notepad at hand and watch with diligence and sincerity of purpose. I'm pretty doggone sure you will learn new facts that you did not know, that I did not know, that the American people did not know.
Try a little due-diligence. It may make you a more thoughtful contributor.
Just sayin'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this canard that the poster 'kyzr' insists and persists in circulating. It is misinformation. I don't know if he believes it or not. Regardless, it is misinformation that serves only to corrode public trust. It is not an honorable effort by the poster.
It has been de-bunked, repeatedly. See Politifacts. See any number of credible fact-checkers.
Trump neve requested troops. Trump may have talked about troops. But Trump never ordered troops. He motivated no one, he commanded no one to get a troop transfer underway.
Trump never notified Pelosi. Pelosi never declined this alleged offer. There was no offer....alleged or otherwise.
It is a RWNJ talking-point. And it is misinformation.

Lastly, to end this too-long post, and get on with my too-busy day, I will highlight some cogent perceptive insights on what the American people are involved with in the empaneling of the Select Committee. These following four posts are the polar opposites of those first four I started the post with. These posts pose the necessary vibe each American must harbor when they sit down in front of the telly on Thurday.....with their bluelines and pencils:
