Just like the Benghazi investigators, amirite?

Showing footage of exactly what happened is literally the opposite of theater. Do you understand how profoundly stupid you sound?

Accountability for those who planned and executed the coup attempt.
Adjustments to protocols for the DC national guard and Capitol Police
Adjustments to the physical plant to ensure the US Capitol is secure.
Shine light on all of the cockroaches involved.


DId you really need to be told that? How could you not infer it? Like how is it possible you could not guess these extremely obvious goals. Let alone actually heaven forbid reading about it.

You probably thought quoting Trump verbatim was unfair, too, right?

"Sure he said that, but that's not what he meant."

"Sure they did that, but they were just peaceful tourists."



If that is tourism, that's exactly why foreigners hate American tourist. T
This is a quote from the sgt who testified today. Also, rump said the people were giving out hugs and kisses. I hope people show up and give Trump those kind of hugs and kisses the sgt received on January 6.

My dear, please wake up. They ARE ALL the monsters. Every. Last. One.

Yep. Over on Fox News rep. Banks ( one of the 2 d bags that Pelosi booted off the committee) he was criticizing the committee for not getting to the bottom of why Nancy Pelosi didn’t protect the Capitol.



Jim Banks, the guy who tweeted (since deleted) on January 5th that the Capitol was going to be overrun?

He is a freaking material witness. Of course he should not be on the Commission.

Yes, McConnell said he was too busy working and Geetz, MTG and Elise were grandstanding and gaslighting claiming it was Pelosi's fault.

If you have the time, I highly recommend watching the reply, or clips.

The officer's testimony was powerful and several members of Congress choked up. I am so grateful that Pelosi put Cheney and Kinzinger on the committee. I will be recycling Kinzinger's quote when I I hear false equivalency on BUT George Floyd protests. "There is a difference between breaking the law and rejecting the rule of law."

I hope those in mainstream media who said Pelosi made a bad move are eating their words but they lost their moral high ground years ago. There is no "both sidesing."


WAAAAHHHH.

Trump specifically said "not the Capitol" when he made his hugs comment. But that's not the water being poured.
