No moves to the Senate where Moscow Mitch will roll over for Trump like he did with the impeachment despite having strong words to Trump with what caused it. Moscow Mitch is the worst spineless yellow-belly sap-sucking Republican there is.

The January 6th Commission vote might be an ideal time to get rid of the filibuster.

There is no reasonable argument that the refusing to authorize the commission protects any legitimate rights of the minority party.

Strange that Republicans would prefer a DOJ Special Counsel over a Commission that they would have some involvement in/control over.

But whatever.

Trump & McConnell have a common goal: to slavishly serve private power, private wealth, & the corporate sector.

That's why McConnell allowed, & even enabled Trump's antics, & will continue to do so.

Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) stated this at the annual retreat for the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

Looks like folks are chasing sides with team McCarthy working to remove her as conference chair of the House Republicans.
This issue is related to the topic of this thread. You guys and the leftists really believe about 400, 500 or so right wingers who Protested violently at the Capitol Building were going to overthrow the Capitol Police, the Armed Forces of the USA, and the government of the USA, all Planned by President Trump, what a great Coup d'état Plan?

Republican President Trump to specify.

These are biased, partisan, anti Republican, anti Trump, leftist Media, and Democratic Party Talking Points. which you guys then believe, Post and Repost. The Pro Trump Rally was to support President Trump and support and encourage Republican Politicians to claim the electoral votes in favor of President Trump. Just like the Democrats did in certain states for Hillary and other democrats in other US elections using the same and or exact words the Republicans did for President Trump. But you guys don't criticize the Democrats for doing the same thing the Republicans did as I just described. You all know I had Cuban and American Friends at the Trump rally, Proud Vietnam Combat Veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force and US Marines who heard the same speech were President Trump said Protest Peacefully and Patriotically and they were not influenced to commit any acts of violence, and most right wingers did as he asked. I wish I could have gone with them with Pride and Honor. We are all responsible for our own actions. The Devil made me do it, Trump made me do it are just excuses. It is not Permitted in a US Court of Law. Just like the leftist violence in Democrat run cities with Democrat Mayors. We are all responsible for our own actions.

But you leftists really believe 400, 500 or so right wingers were going to overthrow the Capitol Police, the armed forces of the USA and the government of the USA, All Planned by President Trump, what a great Coup d'état Plan?

Clearly this was an act of intimidation.

Trump wanted to scare the bejeezus out of the full congress in the hope that he could intimidate them into doing what they would not constitutionally be allowed to do anyway: reject the electoral vote count.

Pence, for his part knew he could not legally do that. Trump should have known that was not legal ... yet wanted it done anyway.

You should know that was not legal yet here you are posting this drivel anyway.

This is the problem talking with you people, what they were trying to do was never a legal option! Never, not ever.

That crowd was trying to force the vice president and the full congress into doing an illegal act. It was never up to them, it was never an option. That Trump led those people (and you it seems) into believing otherwise is squarely on him, he must take full responsibility for his lies and full responsibility for the damage and deaths which resulted.

Trump taking responsibility for anything. Don’t hold your breath. I lost, therefore vote fraud.

"We have a political party defined by the terror it feels for its own voters," and that a vote for Jan. 6 Commission "would be seen as an insult to the 45th President."

George Will on ABC New's "This Week."

For a video clip of the discussion:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...ly_as_911.html

Though to be fair, Republicans make no bones about it.

McConnell, McCarthy, Graham, ... have all been quite clear that the Jan. 6 Commission would cast Republicans in an unfavorable light right before the midterm elections, and they weren't having it.
