The two of us were having an ongoing discussion about what was written in a particular article that I'd linked. I know you saw that link since you quoted and commented on the particular post that the link was in, and, our current ongoing discussion had been about what was in that particular link. Because of that, having to constantly repost the link for you or having to constantly give you the post # is unnecessary...unless you are having memory problems.
A half truth is a whole lie. Context matters.

Nothing Communist about it.

Committee hearings are a method by which committee members gather information to inform committee business. Business dealt with by hearings may be broadly classified into four types: legislative, oversight, investigative, and consideration of presidential nominations. Hearings may be held on Capitol Hill or elsewhere (e.g., a committee member’s district or state, or a site related to the subject of the hearing).

Forget all the hot air in the speech about Pence better do the right thing and implying there was some legal and moral and actual likelihood Pence wasn't going to perform his ceremonial duty of certifying the election.......sure Trump is full of hot air, show, etc. Forget that.

The fact that once Trump Ssaw the extent of the violence and the 'hang Pence' rhetoric Trump still insisted on posting a tweet attacking Pence in a time when folks were riled up -- is highly disturbing. There was no concern for Pence and his family.

I get Trump was mad Pence didn't do what Trump thought he could.....but there is no justification for leaving your running mate in harm's way and not showing an ounce of empathy, concern or anything.

To this day Trump has not expressed any kind of empathy.

Not one person has come forward and said we were fighting because we believed it to be a fraudulent election. None of them have come to the committee, under oath and stood their ground on that issue.

They declare the 5th or refuse to testify rather than continue to support the lie they were selling at the time.

Which Republican leaders with integrity are still claiming the election was stolen?
I agree with all of that and I hate the liberals more than anything. Donald Trump is not a good man and committed crimes. I want republicans to sweep the election in November and I think they will as liberal policies are a disaster and people are sick of climate change and anti fossil fuel being shoved down our throats and insanely high gas prices and such.

Bit DOnald Trump needs to stay away from republican party and stop screwing more things up.

The people want REPRESENTATION, not feelings.
She went with the Constitution, which she swore to uphold. We could use a lot more serious republicans like her.

It's very easy to follow and it's Trump's inner circle testifying under oath. You can't put that Genie back in the bottle. How this plays out politically??....you got me. But it is safe to say that this will be one of many issues that will be on voters minds in 22 and 24.
By the ‘Big Lie’ are you referencing the Trump Russia Collusion Hoax? The Dems in the House lost all credibility with that elongated whopper.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

No one has the opportunity to ask Nancy Pelosi what happened on 1/6 with security.

No one has the opportunity to ask the FBI about the people in the crowd.

No one has the opportunity to ask the Democrats why they objected to certification of votes in 2000, 2004, and 2016.


Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

It's a one-sided political commercial. If you have an opposing view, WHY WOULD YOU GET INVOLVED IN A FORUM THAT DOESN'T PROVIDE YOU WITH DUE PROCESS?????
All of that is because an investigation is not a trial, as we have pointed out here a hundred times. Apparently there's still some confusion on how the two work and what their purpose is.

For you to focus only on what Trump said that one day is an epic display of willful ignorance.
Trump started beating the drum about the election being rigged if he lost back in May, 2020.

Thank you for at least admitting it.
Yes.

I don’t think any rational person can dispute that.

The funniest part of this is that they seemed to have established beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump did NIT tell his supporters to violently rush the Capitol building and trespass in its halls.

Of course the Dems were carefully selecting testimony and probably accomplished this inadvertently.

LOL

Except Mueller didn't exonerate him.

It is really a shame because multiple people on this thread have taken the time to explain things to him. He does not listen or even respond to the answers he gets.
I've watched much of it, and obviously know the background of it as I'm explaining it to you.

Keep saying "he doesn't know" without providing any coherent examples of what I've said that's incorrect.

Doesn't make your case very well.
