In High-Volume Press Conference, McCarthy Musters Fury That Pelosi Blocked His Jan. 6 Picks

I agree. They’d be better off pinning their hopes on meth, madmen, and voter suppression. Wait…

He is, however, quite interested in there never being an investigation. Criminals and their accomplices generally feel that way…

If you want to know what it’s like to be the guy driving the car off the cliff then ask McCarthy.

If you want to know what it’s like to be the guy that shot their own eye out then ask McCarthy.

If you want to know what’s it like to be offered a parachute but prefer to jump out of the plane without it then ask McCarthy.

You get the idea, right?

If you find yourself in a room where Liz Cheney seems sane, you’re in the wrong room.

Republicans have made it fairly clear that they have no interest in participating in an investigation of Jan. 6 beyond the security breakdowns of the insurrection itself.

I remember the response from local Republican officials when one of the banks in my hometown was recently robbed: “We don’t care about catching the robbers and those who planned the robbery. We need to find out who was responsible for not hiring enough security guards for the bank.”

That was the Senate, not the House.

Could it be that Ds are finally learning how to ram it up the Republican butts like the Rs to do them?

My personal opinion is McCarthy and the others didn’t think Pelosi had the stones to use her power this way. This accounts for them being caught off guard and leaving themselves no option but to take their deflated ball and go home. Lyndon Johnson would be proud of Nancy today. I know I am.

I’m still trying figure out how the Republicans are trying conflate the George Floyd protest last summer with the insurrection at the Capitol in Jan? If I remember 2020 correctly the only peeps storming state capitols were right wing nut jobs angry at masks and stay at home orders.

Kevin is my representative, so nothing really of interest. However, I will miss “Sherriff” Troy Nehls. Guy makes me laugh.

I think you’re right…and it was reflected in McCarthy’s hasty decision to have a GOP’s own investigation.

“I’d be concerned if I was a majority member right now,” Armstrong said, threatening that a GOP speaker could one day wield the same crushing power Pelosi does now. “Because the map, the math and their policies are gonna help us take back the majority in two years.”

Think what you like about Liz Cheney’s politics, she is going to emerge from all this Sturm und Drang as the only Republican in Congress with a shred of dignity, fortitude, and patriotism.

I’m thinking she’s unlikely to remain a member after 2022.

Yes. And as one of my grade-school teachers told us, “Excuses don’t excuse.” Those are words to live by.
