Everything they're saying is just weird, flailing nonsense. Basically blaming Jan 6 on Nancy Pelosi (FFS) and accusing her of playing politics -- after McCarthy first supported a Jan 6 commission, then opposed it, then said he wouldn't appoint any members to a select committee, then saying he would, then pulling all the members.

These guys look like they're really struggling.

Which is:

Talking complete and utter bollocks, but doing it in an *authoritative tone of voice.*

With lots! Of dramatic! Pauses!

Speaking... softly... for a while...

AND THEN LOUDLY, AS IF THAT WILL MAKE WHAT HE'S SAYING SEEM MORE IMPORTANT.

Except for some reason when McCarthy does it he just looks like a total chump.

Contact live. I’ve never called these offices but one can only tolerate so much BS, so many lies, so much distraction. Trying to blame this on Nancy Pelosi? I’ve had it. I’ve been very quiet since Biden has been elected, but this press conference is just too much to take.

As a matter of fact, possible less

The Capitol police board is made up on the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms ans the Architect of the Capitol.

The House SAA is selected by the Speaker and then Elected by the House

The Senate Sergeant at Arms is selected by McConnell and votes on in the Senate

The Architect is appointed by the President (Trump) to a 10 year term that is confirmed by the Senate, so it looks like 2/3 of the Police Board was approved by Republicans.

Additionally, Paul Irving was first appointed by Speaker John Boehner

they will talk as long as they see a green light on a camera. Our news media are fools.

All predictable, and it’s amazing our government works at all at this rate.
