A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
As the House select committee investigating the insurrection gets set to hold its first hearing Tuesday, House Republicans are more closely focused on punishing their two colleagues who have agreed to serve on the committee.
Pelosi could ultimately restore their committee assignments herself.
They’re like an animal caught in a trap, growling and lashing out but not really threatening anyone.
“I’d rather die than sacrifice my principles.”
FSM has been meeting more and more unvaccinated people every day.
FSM and Darwin must be pals.
I’m not going to argue that the GOP suffers from PTSD, but they have been through a trauma. Kinzinger and Cheney are actually coping rather well, while Kevin is a mess. A lot of this behavior is projection from on-going stress.
**Jake Tapper to Sen. Pat Toomey: “What does it say about your party that an investigation into a violent insurrection would reflect poorly upon it?”
Toomey: “I would argue the current POTUS’s policies & the damage he’s gonna be doing, that’s what we should be debating in 2022.”**
This is a non-denial denial.
Proving there is one Rethug that believes in the Constitution and upholding the law. Very novel idea.
The rest of them have been drinking so much koolaid all they have time for is running to the bathroom.
- A move afoot among Freedom Caucus members to get Cheney and Kinzinger booted from their committee assignments.
- House GOP leadership may not have the appetite for a fight over the wayward GOPers: Pelosi could ultimately restore their committee assignments herself.
Oooohhh! Pelosi! Running the GOP in Congress!!!
Take that, Qevin!!! How’s that leadership thingy working out for you?
The GOP’ers might want to cool down a bit. Bashing folks investigating a crime is tantamount to sympathy with that crime and the criminals that did it. Certainly the GOP is that but there’s a political consideration with optics these days and this aint good optics.
I used to have terrifying dreams I was in the backseat of a car that was driving itself on curvy twisty mountain roads and I had absolutely no control of anything. This must feel like that for them.
Pelosi. Drives. Wedge. In. Deeper.
More. Popcorn.
Pelosi. Pulls. McCarthy. Wedgie. Higher.
More popcorn here, too! 
Republicans want to punish Cheney and Kinzinger (here’s yet another link):
Could it be because it reflects poorly on them? Could it be because Republican Representatives and Senators appear to want to keep their jobs more than they want to do their jobs? They drank the Kool-Aid over the past 40-plus years and now can’t do anything but what they are doing. The only question is will they destroy this country in the process? I argue no, but it will be a time of contention.
I still hold to Lincoln’s Secretary of State Seward’s characterization of America during stressful times: “that there was (is) always just enough virtue in the republic to save it; sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the emergency”. We’ll get though this period and then perhaps have the opportunity to complete a list of unfinished tasks for the betterment of this country.
Stress induced by trying to rein in an insane tiger by the tail.
I thought the GQP hates “cancel culture”?
It’s hard to say if the really don’t understand the power of the Speaker of the House or if, as @eggrollian suggests, this is a response to the on-going stress. They may just be grandstanding and making threats, which was the preferred response from TFG. I guess they don’t want to be the next GOPer who is booed off the platform or voted off the island.
You cannot be a current GOP pol in good standing unless you can simultaneously embrace mutually contradictory ideas. For example, you must believe that Dems are both feckless wimps and ruthless masterminds with the power to destroy America. You must also believe that Jan 6 was either a ‘false flag’ operation to smear Republicans, or a just a ‘love fest’, while also being convinced that investigating it will somehow be used as a weapon to harm GOP electoral prospects in the midterms.
