[malaise]

7. This and the indictments tomorrow will provide all the fireworks

I need this year

[onecaliberal]

27. Well I heard that fireworks are in short supply for this July 4

so help yourself!

Ari says tomorrow will be a huge day for the Slobfather and his criminal clan

[lagomorph777]

34. I hope he means a hugely bad day.

[secondwind]

2. Woot!!!!!!

[Lovie777]

3. K & R . . .

How many republicans approved it?

[mobeau69]

5. CNN says near party line vote. No surprise of course.

[Tommy Carcetti]

6. 19 Republican no-shows.

Plus Cheney and Kinzinger voting yes.

I suppose the 19 knew in their hearts what happened but are afraid of the Trumpist mob?

[smb]

13. No-Shows At The Hospital To Get Gut & Spine Implants nt

[SergeStorms]

17. Afraid all ways.

Too afraid to let their constituents know they voted for it, and too afraid to let the Trump-Thumpers know they voted against it. Fence sitting chicken shits.

[Warpy]

19. There is a lot of fear there

Between Epstein and the Russians, I imagine Dumdum had a lot of dirt on a lot of people, especially the ones who got into office on the god vote. The no shows didn't have the courage to vote yes. Or they were all too aware their hands are bloody and wanted to show their contempt to anyone who wants them caught.

[lagomorph777]

35. I think you've nailed that analysis.

[Eyeball_Kid]

30. Except for those two, the entire GOP supports the overthrow of the United States. n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

39. Probably here in Texas kissing TFG's ass

[crickets]

9. Two - Cheney and Kinzinger. nt

[RainCaster]

4. Who?

I would be interested in knowing who is on the committee.

[lagomorph777]

36. Apparently not yet chosen.

[crickets]

8. YES! Link to article:

The House voted Wednesday to pass legislation to create a partisan select committee to investigate the January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol.

The House approved the legislation introduced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Resolution 503, by a vote of 222-190 with just two Republicans, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, voting along with their Democratic colleagues to create the panel.

The committee will be made up of 13 members that Pelosi will select, with five selections made "in consultation" with Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

[onetexan]

23. Bravo!!

[soldierant]

32. And if I were in a position to do so

I would be lobbying hard to get two of the five Republican committee members to be Cheney and Kinzinger.

[AllaN01Bear]

20. that is eggscllent news . bravo.

[madamesilverspurs]

21. Yeppers!

Cspan showed the "debate", and the stuff coming from republicans was, at best, embarrassing. One of them (and I didn't note his name) went full whataboutism when he whined that Democrats didn't demand an investigation of the shooting at the baseball field (when Scalise was shot); he claimed that Republicans were the only ones targetted, that the only Democrat on the field was the shooter. Then he huffed off like he'd done the all-time mic drop. Pathetic.

25. ReTHUGs care about power and wealth

Democracy and the Constitution be damned. I don't remember an investigation when Gabby Giffords was shot and nearly killed.

[Initech]

22. The Capitol Riot was an inside job!

[malaise]

26. Agree

[George II]

29. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger voted for it. That means it passed with a bipartisan vote.

[malaise]

31. Someone should tell M$Greedia
