GOP: “Blue lives matter!”

Again, evidence of McCarthy’s security-threatening decisions and his lies. America, look at this leader and say your prayers. He and his crowd will refuse to raise the debt. They’re nihilists.

Of course, the truth comes out a good week after the lie is plastered across the entire world. Message: Do the crime! You’ll get the benefit even if it was later found to be illegal.

McCarthy is a shameless, tool who would sacrifice his nation and its laws for his ambition.

Capitol Police quickly installed three terminals in a House office building to grant Republicans access to the footage, according to DiBiase. He added they also provided four hard drives to the House GOP that they received from the Jan. 6 committee after it completed its work.

First time I’ve heard this aspect-- that storage drives were provided. Although, truth be told, the contents of those drives likely do not hold much, if any, content that Tucker and Fox could use to whitewash the J6 rioters’ criminality.

Blue Lives Matter when they are taking Black Lives as the GQP intended.

That’s because the House GQP is bound and determined to re-write the narrative of the insurrection, so they get re-elected by the very people who trust Carlson over their own lyin’ eyes.

All that has to be shown to counter what Carlson aired is the interviews of the members of Congress post J6th. If I remember correctly I saw one re-aired last week with McCarthy and he was pissed off in that clip.

The whole Tucker there was no insurrection it was just a sightseeing group scenario hasn’t been successful. On the heels of Fox’s problems with Dominion it hasn’t got the legs they hoped for. Tucker wanted to blunt the news of him stating he hated TFGs guts, I doubt TFG has forgotten.

Qevin may be the weakest Speaker in my memory. He is certainly the stupidest and most cowardly.

Hardly a stand-out in this regard amongst Republicans.

In theory, you might be able to argue that stuff not on the sensitive list wouldn’t be a big deal. But in practice, of course no one can predict what some obsessive nutbar is going to find with endless frame by frame rewatching.

I’ve said it before, arrest & indict McCarthy, Carlson, and Fox Propaganda for illegal distribution of Government property and for compromising US Government Security.

I’m quoting Nancy Pelosi and I’ll never get tired of saying it: “He’s such a moron.”
