Investigating the Jan 6 th Uprising.

Hmmm...yeah, I don't think Democrat Trump-haters are motivated by love of the Constitution.

 

I'm not a Dem. I'm libertarian and, actually, now a registered Republican in my state. But you can't excuse your hatred or disregard for the Constitution by trying to shine the spotlight on Dems. Any other deflections or can you actually address why you think that what Trump did to steal the election was okay?

 

Congressional committees these days aren't quite what they once were.

 

No problem

 

You must be having Benghazi flashbacks.. this one seems to be a cut above, if no faster than the rest..

 

My love for the Constitution requires me to recognize how far the Democrats have taken this country toward rejection of it.
Pushback against that is absolutely necessary to preserve our individual freedoms. The incessant hatred of President Trump and his supporters following the 2016 election and the disgraceful was the true treason So spare us your phony outrage over a few fed up patriots protesting on Jan 6. The next time will be far worse if Democrats don't start going to jail for their treason.

Massive load of horseshit here... However, I can only warn posters after the action...

 

Where does the Congress get the authority to conduct a criminal investigation or investigate citizens just to try and expose things about them?

 

They are trying to be more than the Constitution authorizes. That is dangerous.

 

Oh just stop with the canard, Benghazi was proper Congressional oversight of the Secretary of State, over whom they have such authority, and the State Department concerning an attack on a US complex and the death of our ambassadore. It was not some criminal investigation like the Dems and RINO's on the committee are engaged.

 

And you might have been able to sell that for history, if one of the head morons didn't open his big yap in front of a camera and microphone...

Granted, McCarthy is not one of the sharpest tools in the drawer, but he should have been able to avoid this level of stupidity.

Or so we all thought... who knew that was just to be one of the first examples?

Now, Benghazi is synonymous with politically motivated Congressionally activity..... forever...

 

It's a legislative investigation.

 

Not at all, it’s motivated by hate. Every single time we see a thread about how the walls are closing in on Trump it’s based on nonsense misinterpretation of something someone close to him did. It’s usually a monetary law that is so ambiguous in its wording it’s impossible to not break. Or some fictitious claim of being a traitor on again a purposeful misinterpretation of a law and his actions.

And even after it’s revealed how nonsensical it is or genuinely fake news, the hate it created remains and carries over to the next manufactured outrage.

 

Benghazi was appropriate and reasonably motivated congressional activity. It will be remembered as such.

 

No it is a criminal investigation and they are not even attempting to hide that fact.

 

If you want to quote McCarthy then post the quote in context. Benghazi was oversight of the State Department and Secretary of State for which Congress has CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY.

 

Ahh.. the old "in context dodge"....

There's no "in context" for what he said. Sure, Congress has oversight power over those entities... But that doesn't mean every committee is run in good faith....

SNIP
And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?

But we put together a Benghazi special committee. A select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.
ENDSNIP

Context that!

 

You need to run for a congressional seat so that you can straighten out all those stupid lawyers and doctorate holders. They don't know anything about the law or the constitution or anything, because it is so obvious that you know more than they do.
BUT, Pelosi knows more about the process than anyone here...............

 

She knows how to manipulate the process for her party's political advantage, and her personal financial advantage. What she doesn't give a crap about is the general welfare of the country.

 

Not going to argue about the last part, but she is very smart, as is McConnell. Some of the arguing on here doesn't make sense to me because some of the opinions expressed would entail these people to be utterly stupid, and most of them are not, at least not in the leadership roles. CMA: there are exceptions

 

I agree, they're smart. I'm not concerned about their intelligence or animal cunning, I'm concerned about their motives.

 

They've spelled out the legislative purpose. It's held up in court.

 

This is clearly a multi-purpose investigation, started to investigate one of the darkest days in American history. Clearly there's a legislative component (probably the smallest), an historical component (we need the full story), a political component (the GOP is the party of sedition), and what has now developed into a criminal component (see part about GOP/sedition).

Most good things in life serve multiple purposes...

 

And that brings up the danger in the situation, smart, but with ulterior motives.
And here is where the new "age of information" comes in. We have, all of us, more information than anytime in history, both accurate and not, opinion and facts, alternative facts, theories, etc, etc. Which is correct and which is not?
Disseminating information is not easy, and there are many who are influenced by it. Hence we have pages of laymen arguing about what congress is doing. Many years ago, Americans basically just trusted what the politicians said and did, and wait for the outcome of xyz investigation. Seems like that is gone now, not because the politicians have changed, but the average onlooker has changed. Maybe this could be the age of DISinformation? Technology hasn't made it better, just more complicated.

 

FYI, one has already pled guilty to sedition, more will follow.
