How much more violent would it have to get before you cal lit an " Insurrection"?? Would that mob have to have been successful in overturning the election?? and killed a few more people in the process??
Little surprise.... this (probable) insurrectionist Congressman is refusing to cooperate.... issuing deflections as his reason why.... https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-scott-perry-says-wont-164416771.html (Past) time to issue the subpoena....
I think we FINALLY found out who "Brandon" is.... It's the gay T**** supporter https://www.yahoo.com/news/convicted-gay-trump-ally-brandon-163607132.html Let's Go to Prison, Brandon.....
First member of Proud Boys group pleads guilty in Capitol riot conspiracy Matthew Greene, of New York, admitted he was part of a group that led an early charge against police on the Capitol steps. He has since disavowed his membership in the Proud Boys, a far-right group, his lawyer said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-m...9.0AKk9xyj7vOdZga2OnUZq9Pj1KeZPykwM7zPDL72dsc
Sort of related to the Insurrection, This is the first GOPPER to recant on his/her decision to not certify the election, although with all GOPPER's, the "logic" he's using is wrong SNIP Republican Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina said in an interview on Wednesday that he regrets voting against certifying the electoral votes of Arizona and Pennsylvania after the January 6 storming of the Capitol. "In retrospect I should have voted to certify," Rice told POLITICO's Olivia Beavers. "Because President Trump was responsible for the attack on the Capitol." His declaration, according to POLITICO, makes him the first of the 147 House Republicans who voted against certifying the election results to publicly state that they regret their vote. ENDSNIP https://www.yahoo.com/news/house-republican-says-regrets-voting-190114566.html He should have voted to certify, because all of the states sent unchallenged certifications in.... that decision should have had nothing to do with T****'s responsibility for the attack.....
Jan. 6 committee asks Rep. Jim Jordan for information on his communications with Trump Jordan, R-Ohio, on Wednesday requesting information about his communications with then-President Donald Trump on the day of the attack. “We understand that you had at least one and possibly multiple communications with President Trump on January 6th," the committee wrote to Jordan, a vocal Trump ally. "We would like to discuss each such communication with you in detail.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...pJ2PJMmmFtLZcT0JKwjqJK7bObMHGil96hfmkLAEAAA==
I'm sorry, but WTF?? They are requesting an interview with this tool?? Requesting? You'd have better luck getting William Shakespeare to show up voluntarily at this point.. SNIP In his letter to Jordan, Thompson wrote, “The American people deserve a full and accurate accounting of what happened on Jan. 6.” ENDSNIP Bennie? He couldn't care less.... Actually, he might, because full and accurate will not bode well for any of the seditionists in Congress...
Indeed.......no chance of this chap even responding........let alone showing up. They really need to show that they mean business. "diplomacy " does not work with these bozos. ...Jordan in particular.
I like having this perma-thread available to dump all 1/6 related news, big and small.... This is very very small, like much about DFG Flynn A judge has already denied his request for a TRO against the committee for his phone records... This came out within 36 hours of lawsuit submission. https://www.axios.com/michael-flynn-january-6-lawsuit-ec70bb1f-0d9e-4883-898c-0651365a60c3.html Not only that, the judge spanked his counsel HARD for failing to follow proper procedure to obtain a TRO... It just gets sadder and sadder...
Well, that's on you.. I had it pegged after only 3 words... if we were playing Name That Insurrection....
I gather that, short of indicting the ringleaders of the sedition plot, this joint case against 4 "Proud" Boys is the biggest 1/6 case still in the works. Their request to dismiss was denied today https://www.yahoo.com/news/proud-boys-members-must-face-191148877.html I scrolled through the judge's decision... nothing groundbreaking there...
Not really related to the investigation, but I liked this quote from Liz today. Also, I like to keep this all purpose 1/6 near the top SNIP Rep. Liz Cheney scorched former President Donald Trump on Sunday, saying he has proven that he cannot be "anywhere near the Oval Office ever again." ENDSNIP https://www.yahoo.com/news/liz-cheney-says-trump-unfit-173442996.html Well, yeah......4 years late and several hundred grifted millions later, but make it happen, girlfriend!!
Support the Union (Democracy) over Confederacy (Fascists) Don't know what that will mean, but it's better than neutrality...
"By 2025, American democracy could collapse, causing extreme domestic political instability, including widespread civil violence. By 2030, if not sooner, the country could be governed by a right-wing dictatorship." What a frikkin' goofball. Unfortunately, there are probably people out there that buy into this conspiratorial idiocy.
There are those that want it back.... and hope to reinstate trump........so he can complete the job. Hard to believe it is almost ONE YEAR since that horrible day.........What is concerning is that some think that Violence might be necessary against the Gov't. These kind of fissures in a society create instability...........and make a situation ripe for a more authoritarian regime. to take over......
I believe that to be the Progressive game plan. Create chaos at the border, promote crime and disorder in the streets, demoralize the citizens with runaway inflation, terrufy them with a pandemic. Then take over via a state of emergency with a senile old fool as a figurehead. I ,
Take people and kids out of poverty, fix roads and bridges, try to implement universal pre-K, determine how the crazed RW tried to steal the last election, increase GDP and the 401K's of America... Bunch of nuts, I say....
Jan. 6 committee to request Sean Hannity's cooperation The committee revealed last month that Hannity texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows during the riot to urge him to get Trump to stop his supporters. https://www.axios.com/jan-6-committ...lert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alerts_all
Not gonna happen.... Here's a headline I got a chuckle out of As House Jan. 6 committee prepares to go public, Liz Cheney says they now know what Trump was doing https://www.yahoo.com/news/house-jan-6-committee-prepares-075936765.html LOL.... everybody already knows what he was doing..... Nothing, followed by several attempts to make a simple "STOP" video
Well......he was watching the riot on TV........... and it is reported that he was s rather enthralled with it........and saw it as support for HIM Not exactly what a responsible POTUS would do in such a situation. .He seems to be enamored with the thug mentality.
