GOP's vote on 'Jan 6th Commission' betrays their narrative about Antifa while exposing their own culpability

No investigation should be completed at by members of congress - no lawyer would accept them on a jury due to bias.

The investigation was to be compelety bi-partisan, chaired by two former Presidents - Obama and Bush - with the other eight members of the Committee selected from a pool of non governmental qualified individuals by the four party leaders choosing two members each. Sounds totally fair to me.

Great, and so when do the investigations into ANTIFA and BLM and the people who funded them for a year WHILE Dem Party governors and mayors looked the other way while there were endless and violent riots and looting, burning, mugging and murdering, begin? Leftists will most certainly support that . . . right?

A simple google search would have shown you that they are already under investigation by the FBI. Why did you not already know that?

Nope, it's not going to be a dead horse until Trump and every single complicit and corrupt GOP member in Congress et al are held to account for fueling the insurrection.

I was in a city that got burned and destroyed last summer , idiot libs think that's OK !

No violence is ever okay but there's is a hell of a lot of difference between what fueled the riots last year and the insurrection this year.

The former was sparked due to yet another unjust killing of a black man and was a civil rights action that escalated and got out of control. I'm not defending what occurred last year but it did perfectly illustrate JFK's point when he stated in March 1962 speech... “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

The latter was an assault on the government and democracy itself due to a LIE Trump and all his cohorts continued to repeat about mass election fraud and a stolen election that had no foundations in truth at all, as over 60 lawsuits can attest to.

Nothing says 'I'm a highly uninformed/ill educated partisan individual' faster than actually misspelling the word INSURRECTION.

I could have also gone with 'insurerection' but you'd be too low wit to get that either.

I questioned whether the misspelling in your post was due to ignorance or some misguided attempt at p**is humor. Given the gravity of the situation, however, I thought who in their right mind would ever make light of such. Apparently, you do.

Let’s start with the complicit and corrupt Dem congressmen et al who continue to fuel ongoing riots throughout the country. Then we can talk about Trump’s, so called, inciting violence on Jan 6th.

Political rhetoric has gotten out of hand on both sides but there is a difference between those pushing for civil rights advancements and those feeding into a political lie about a stolen election in order to maintain their own political power.

Big difference between Trump and these people. Trump literally told his supporters to have a peaceful protest at the Capitol. These women literally incited violence over and over again and again. The BLM movement is a lie and Dems are using it to maintain *their* political power. The only difference is, the media ignores the Democrat hypocrisy while embellishing what Trump actually said and did. So now people believe Democrats are being selfless in their calls for violence and that Trump is some kind of terrorist. It’s disgusting.

When one can't argue against the facts, they tend to deflect. Way to go on the latter.

Trump literally stated exactly once during his Jan 6th speech to 'be peaceful' but said 'fight', 'fight like hell', etc., 20 times. He also said Pence could have rejected the certification results and send them back to the states for correction - which Pence was never legally able to as his role in declaring the results is strictly ceremonial - and calling him a 'pussy' when he didn't. What do you think people will remember?

That doesn't even address the fact that Trump called on his supporters to attend the Jan 6th rally based on a total LIE of mass voter fraud and a stolen election in the first place and then told his fans to march to the Capital to protest against the officiation of the electoral vote count based on that LIE. Had there been no LIE, none of those people would have ever been in DC unless they actually lived there, nor would there have ever been any storming of the Capitol.

How the hell you can justify what happened and defend Trump is beyond comprehension.

Look who’s deflecting. You’re parroting the “fight, fight, fight” claim that the media interprets as “storm the Capitol”. Many Democrat politicians have called their supporters to “fight”. A video montage of such was presented at the trial yet the media, as usual, ignored it. This is the type of hypocritical media bias I'm talking about. And you completely ignore the fact that the people who stormed the Capitol weren’t even at the rally where Trump said to fight 20 times. So, to interpret this as something that incited them to storm the Capitol is preposterous.

You bring up his criticism of Pence and his “lie” of stollen election - yet another media bias. If it were a Democrat talking about something they didn’t have evidence of, the media would use the word “claim” or “opinion” or “belief”. But, because it was Trump, it’s a “lie”. Just another example of media bias intended to provoke hatred and division.

I’m not justifying what happened on January 6th any more than you are justifying the 7 months of nightly riots last year. You defend hypocrite Democrats who point fingers at Trump for Jan 6th while patting themselves on the back for supporting the events that enabled all the BLM riots. That’s what’s beyond comprehension.

There you go again completely ignoring facts...

1. The election was not stolen; Biden legitimately won by over 7M votes
2. Trump et al withn the GOP party & RW media continue to LIE about the election today
3. Recounts & forensic audits were conducted in many swing states confirming results
4. McConnell, Graham, et al, placed direct blame on Trump for insurrection on Jan 6th
5. Those indicted for Jan 6th all stated they believed they were supporting their President
6. Those that stormed the Capitol believed Trump would protect them legally
7. The GOP lost 64/65 lawsuits in court challenging the election
8. Many Judges hearing the lawsuits are Republicans, some that Trump appointed himself
9. Fox, Newsmax & OANN have all published retraction claims against Dominion
10. Sidney Powell's defence in the $1.3B defamation lawsuit against her that "no reasonable person would believe" her wild conspiratorial claims in her Motion to Dismiss such.

I also previously stated that I neither condoned the violence last year nor the rhetoric that some Dems resorted to - albeit it's a hell of lot more understandable than the blatant fraud the GOP are currently trying to pull off - which people worldwide easily recognise and is reported on in allied nations such as England, Canada, Germany, NZ, Australia, etc., as well as in many adversarial nations. The only ones globally that seem to have a major difficulty accepting the truth are major Trump supporters themselves.

1. The election was not stolen; Biden legitimately won by over 7M votes
I never claimed he didn’t

2. Trump et al withn the GOP party & RW media continue to LIE about the election today
OK then, you need to also recognize that Biden and the DNC LIED about Trump being a racist for thinking the virus came from a lab in Wuhan China. They LIE about the crisis they created at the border. They LIE about the Keystone pipeline . . . Basically, opinion that isn’t proven is a LIE, except when it comes from the left. That’s the LIE you believe.

3. Recounts & forensic audits were conducted in many swing states confirming results
I haven’t disputed that

4. McConnell, Graham, et al, placed direct blame on Trump for insurrection on Jan 6th
I never said they didn’t

5. Those indicted for Jan 6th all stated they believed they were supporting their President
Again, I never disputed that.

6. Those that stormed the Capitol believed Trump would protect them legally
Still looking for a fact I ignored.

7. The GOP lost 64/65 lawsuits in court challenging the election
So, where are these facts I ignored?

8. Many Judges hearing the lawsuits are Republicans, some that Trump appointed himself
Do you even read my comments?

9. Fox, Newsmax & OANN have all published retraction claims against Dominion
Where did I ever mention Dominion?

10. Sidney Powell's defence in the $1.3B defamation lawsuit against her that "no reasonable person would believe" her wild conspiratorial claims in her Motion to Dismiss such.
Again, your list is irrelevant to my comments.

So all you’ve shown is that you can copy and paste a list of stuff, claiming that I ignored them. Then you talk about “the blatant fraud the GOP are currently trying to pull off”. Did you even read #4 and #8 from your list? You can’t have it both ways.

I’m not even a typical Donald Trump supporter but I point out the blatant hypocrisy of the left and out leftist media that have so much hatred of him they can’t even talk straight.

Tell you what.. I'll support this investigation when Democrats agree to investigate the "peaceful" protests in Portland, Seattle etc..

Two entirely different matters and circumstances. One resulted from a long history of human rights abuses (with riots flaring up every time yet another black person is widely reported to have been unjustly killed) while the other stems from a political LIE about a stolen election by a narcissistic megalomaniac President and his sychophants in order to (illegitimately) hold onto power.
