He’d testify “before” Fox News, but not during the commission hearing.

But both times, Qevin would be lying his wimpy ass off…

Burr already against it? Can’t do one final last thing that is right for the country? Can’t make waves even as you crawl off to your millions, you POS?

House Select Committee on the Insurrection is going to be fun. Open-ended, Democratic majority with subpoena power (and none for the minority), staffed by the best people from inside and outside Capitol Hill. And these dipshit Republican Senators are too stupid to realize they’re WAY better off with the independent commission.

Oh my.

"They don’t have the Romney’s, Little Ben Sasse’s, and Cheney’s of the world.”

He is now talking like 45. I wonder what other grade school nicknames we’ll start hearing from him.

Kevin has taught us to believe what he does, not what he says.

Nancy knows where his office is.

And the Sergeant-at-Arms might have extra motivation when directed to haul the S.O.B. in to explain why he’s hanging the Capitol P.D. out to dry. (“If he doesn’t comply, feel free to use this here bear spray to encourage him.”)

They’re really not thinking this through.

Bull. That cowardly little weasel tried to blame his ‘obstruction’ on NANCY for not ‘doing anything’ earlier…this from the POS who authorized 11 Benghazi investigations and admitted to hounding Hillary. Lying toad.

That’s a Trump quote reacting to the 35 GOP votes in favor of the commission.

Under oath with consequences for perjury, one would hope…

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) made the likelihood of Senate passage even more remote Thursday.

“I don’t believe establishing a new commission is necessary or wise,” he said, pointing to the disparate congressional committee investigations

If they’re hanging themselves, I don’t really have the time to say, “Wait, stop.”

Ol’ “Rope-a-Dope” McCarthy. If you don’t like what he is saying, just wait 5 minutes. No integrity. No interest in truth. McCarthy is bluffing while the Republicans hold a poor hand in this matter and everyone knows it. McCarthy doesn’t side with Capitol PD. Nothing in McCarthy’s empty suit but craven partisanship. I agree with @txlawyer. Repubs making unforced error on this one.

Oh wow - going a little to fast. Thanks for pointing out my failed post (seriously).

No wonder he sounded like 45 to me.

The truth is republicans are behaving exactly the way we expect them to. No surprises at all.

I lay blame on Manchin and Sinema. They are the ones blocking the filibuster that allows the republicans to act exactly the way we expect them to.

Complete with the incorrect use of apostrophes. God he’s stupid.

No problem. I just figure people want to know if they read past something and got a misimpression. I do, anyway.
