There are 9 other house republicans who voted for impeachment who could be candidates to be on the committee..

I'd put Majorie Taylor Greene on the committee. The committee is a charade to try to come up with more impeachable offenses on DJT. Time to move on. The verdicts on the few people who have been found 'guilty' are laughable. Parading? C'mon man...

Release the Capitol footage for that day. My guess is the footage causes the many of the cases to fall apart.

My ''Girlfriend'' is open to a reality-based Republican on the January 6 Committee.

I'm trying to think of one in the House. Romney in the Senate, but who in the House?

That term ''reality-based'' is a Hell of a disqualifier.

While Pelosi did not tip her hand as to who she plans to choose to chair or to serve on the committee

Since you have no idea which Democrats will be appointed by Nancy Pelosi who is about as far from being "reality based" as a human being can be, how can you know that all those Democrats appointed are reality based or are you here to tell us that every single Democrat in the House is reality based which would include Omar, Tlaib, AOC, Pressley to name just a few of the more obviously not reality based?


And there are 6 in the Senate that were in favor of a commission but not the 10 necessary to move forward. As one Democrat put it, "doesn't really matter, all we really needed was a vote so that we can use that no vote against in Republican in the upcoming election". Now that's refreshing to hear the truth even from a Democrat.

Speaking of being "reality based", have you heard the latest from Democrats that it is actually Republicans who wanted to defund the police? Does that sound like a group of people based in reality?


You can find clip after clip of Democrats calling for defunding the police and Pelosi calling law enforcement, "storm troopers" but I dare anybody to find a clip of a Republican calling for the defunding of police. You would have to be completely detached from reality to make such a statement.

It gives new meaning to the word "chutzpah"!

[dilbert firestorm]

i dare say that cheney and klinzinger are top candidates.

And Psaki when confronted with the question I asked "can you name one Republicans that called for defunding the police", answered "actions speak louder than words" meaning that Republicans didn't vote for a bill that "might" have sent more money to some police departments but cops were not leaving over pay, were they? They were leaving over actions like this.

"What do we want, dead cops, when do we want it, now"!


"Pigs in a blanket, fryem' like bacon".


Yeah, Jen, actions

That term ''reality-based'' is a Hell of a disqualifier.

Most Republican Senators and Congressmen are reality based. The reality is that they have three choices -

1. play along with the big lie (Addison Mitchell McConnell III, Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz),

2. don't play along with the big lie and risk getting primaried (Liz Cheney, Adam Kizinger, Anthony Gonzalez), or

3. don't play along with the lie and throw in the towel because you know you'll ever make it to the general election (Jeff Flake).

The people who truly drank the Kool Aid like Marjorie Taylor Greene are a minority.

Now there's a lot of variation in category "1". You've got people like McConnell who were working behind the scenes to try to bury Donald Trump's political ambitions. And others like Ted Cruz, who promoted the big lie to try to appeal to Trump fans and further his political ambitions. But all in category 1 appear to believe, rightly or wrongly, that publicly admitting "reality" would be bad for the Republican Party. Why? Because telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth would piss off Donald Trump. And the ex President is a vengeful man.

Why are people calling it "The Big Lie?"

Not accepting defeat has been the norm for like 8 years.

"The Big Lie" is the presidential election itself.

This is a result of gerrymandering on both the left and the right. When the candidate doesn't have to appeal to the moderates in their party they go to the extreme to fight off whichever nutjob tries to primary them. That's why Greg Abbott is pandering to the extremists in the Texas republican party and AOC won in her district against a long time moderate democrat Joseph Crowley.


This is why the democratic party is going Socialist and the republican party is going Trumpist.

"The Big Lie" is that the elections are all staged.

I don't want to talk about it. I want to know if you're really a black lesbian and gender binary. And if what you said is true, do you have a penis or vagina? And if you have a penis do you forgo intercourse and instead stick solely to muff diving?

Thanks in advance.

I agree.

Would you rather live in a country ruled by Socialists or Trumpists? Neither sounds like the best option. But Trumpism is a temporary thing that should disappear with time. The Socialists however will be with us always, and, despite the big lie, I believe they're a much bigger threat to a prosperous and free (economically free) America.

Trumpism is patriotism which is Americanism. do you really think America can remain the world's greatest country by embracing the far left bullshit of the Democrats? their goal is to reduce America to a third world welfare state. you know this. why do you support this? why?

I would embrace democracy rather than the despotism of Trump and his cult followers. Calling it patriotism doesn't change the fact that Trump would prefer to be "His Imperial Majesty" with a life time appointment.

President for life? Trump says 'maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day'
