Republicans try but can't change history

[Oddball]

The republicans could have had a completely bipartisan commission, made up of equal numbers of republicans and democrats, with each able to check the other on subpoenas and other issues. But they wanted no commission at all.

That's why Nancy had to appoint a committee to investigate 1/6

Liar.

Peloski wanted hand-picked democrat hacks with (R)s by their names.....And she got them.

So by what mechanism would they have overthrown the government?

By stopping the certification of the election, dumbass.

By stopping the certification of the election, dumbass.

That wouldn't have overturned the existing government. They would have had to have prevented the certification for weeks instead of delaying it a few hours.

Try again.

1. It was a riot. There was some violence and some destruction of property and lots of trespassing. There was no intent to over throw the government.

2. There was at least ONE lefty agitator there. It is reasonable to suspect that there could have been more.

3. It is completely reasonable to suspect FBI moves to encourage violence, to marginalize Trump supporters.

Their INTENT was to overturn the election and hang Mike Pence.

Yes, the fools didn't accomplish jackshit. But the goal was to stop the certification of the election and keep Trump in power. That is the definition of an insurrection attempt.

So a few people chanting "hang pence" becomes the motivation for every single one of them?

 

[Damaged Eagle]

After this last year and all the somewhat peaceful protests that happened across the nation until I start seeing Molotov cocktails with buildings and vehicles burning at the Capitol the incident on the 6th of January 2021 was only a peaceful protest.

If the people in the Capitol wish to investigate an insurrection they can start by investigating all the mayors and governors who allowed the cities in their jurisdictions to be burnt, looted, and murdered, while mayors, governors, and congresspersons from DC, cheered it on.

*****SMILE*****

 

[Oddball]

You are the imbecile, an insurrection does not require arms. It requires violence.

So the violence of a unruly gaggle of knuckleheads, who would be hard pressed to beat back mob of Philadelphia Eagles idiots, is going to overcome numerous armed agents and overthrow the entire guminnt?

You fucking nitwits really don't know how utterly foolish you sound, do you?

 

[martybegan]

Yes, the fools didn't accomplish jackshit. But the goal was to stop the certification of the election and keep Trump in power. That is the definition of an insurrection attempt.

But that wouldn't have overturned anything. Which is why they are only being prosecuted for trespass, assault, and interfering with government workers.

 

[progressive hunter]

It wasn't a riot, it was an insurrection. And it wasn't the FBI, or BLM or Antifa behind it. It was those waiving Trump flags, and carrying the stars and bars while chanting hang Mike Pence, that were behind it.

and yet not a single person has been charged with insurrection,,,

almost like they know thats not what it was,,

 

[Oddball]

Such as trying to claim that Trump won in 2020?

The history books say that Joseph R. Biden won on Nov 6 2020, the votes counted on 1/6/21, and he was sworn in 1/20/21 for a 4 year term as president.

You ain't rewriting that.

Those history books haven't yet been written, Leon.

 

[progressive hunter]

You are the imbecile, an insurrection does not require arms. It requires violence.

havent seen,,
has anyone been charged with insurrection??

Fact check: Some Republicans have tried to rewrite the history of January 6. Here's how | CNN Politics

When the House Select Committee investigating the events of January 6 convenes for the first time, it will be against a backdrop of Republican objections and falsehoods.

www.cnn.com

Because history is what it is. Despite the efforts of Trump and his Cult members in Congress to rewrite it to reflect positively on Trump, theirs is a lost cause.

Trump and his disciples, since January 6 have tried over and over to convince the American people that the insurrection was caused by Antifa, was a peaceful event with lots of love in the air or was just a guided tour of the Capital building.

We know better! It was an aggressive attempt by white nationalists, inspired by Trump, to take over the government of the United States. Anyone who sees it in a different light is not a loyal, patriotic American, but rather is a Trump disciple who places him above the Constitution of the United States and the welfare of the majority of the American people.

Today's congressional hearing will expose the Trump people who tried to storm the Capital for what they really are: enemies of the American people.

Why should anyone take right wingers when all they have a fallacy and false witness bearing even in this public venue?

You crack me up when you call out these nincompoops.

Enough already. Mayors and governors didn't "allow" shit. Tens of thousands, do you get that, tens of thousands of those BLM protestors were arrested. Some are facing life in prison. I mean the "Johnny did it too argument" is stupid, especially when Johnny had to pay for the consequences of his actions.

So a few people chanting "hang pence" becomes the motivation for every single one of them?

Just the ones that broke into the Capitol.. Trump had been telling them for five weeks that the election was stolen.

You should be incensed. Aren't you a patriot?

It would have overturned the election, which was the goal. I mean damn, do you even think?

"Broke into the Capitol" by walking past barriers that were removed by the capitol police on purpose.

 

[postman]

Liar.

Peloski wanted hand-picked democrat hacks with (R)s by their names.....And she got them.

Only because McCarthy rejected the bipartisan commission, with equal numbers of democrats and republicans, and equal power sharing by the members over subpoenas and agendas.

LOLOL. Don't you know what a Marxist is?

Prog politicians are like a reality show.
