Flipping the channel this AM. The yapping yentas on the View were having orgasms reviewing the TV show from last night. Every other word out of their mouths was Trump.

“With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee,” she wrote.

 

So Jim Jordan gets to be the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee, but he's unacceptable to participate in the 1/6 commission? Nancy Pelosi has lost her mind.

I'm genuinely curious:

1.) Why do you suppose republicans used the filibuster to kill a bipartisan, independent commission? Doesn't it seem like the events of January 6th were serious enough to warrant such an investigation?

2.) Do you think it's reasonable, after killing a bipartisan, independent commission, to complain that the commission wound up being not bipartisan or independent enough?

So who sent them to the capital? 

 

The charge of “seditious conspiracy” requires prosecutors to prove that at least two people conspired to use force to overthrow the government, oppose its authority or subvert the execution of a U.S. law. Such charges have been brought against some of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

I'm going to go with the same reason democrats kill sensible bills like providing secret service protection to Supreme Court justices whose private homes are being protested at on a nightly basis.  It's completely self serving.

 

Pro Tip:  Congressional "investigations" are ALWAYS self serving.  Both sides.  Always.

Do you think it's reasonable to think had they not killed the first attempt that the commission would have have been any more "bipartisan" or independent than what we're currently witnessing?

Because it’s patently unreasonable and wholly partisan behavior to suggest that in addition to selecting their own members to the committee, the party in power gets to choose the members on the other side as well.   

 

It was a cool switch to see the Dems choose a Cheney for their team, though.

Yup.  "You can have your own members on the committees.  Just ones we choose." :rolleyes:

You were watching the view?  Lol.   That's worse than getting caught singing along to Celine Dion in the car.
