When do the Republicons start complaining about having no one on the Select Committee?

[kentuck]

First of all, both Cheney and Kinzinger should be removed from the Committee, they will argue? Even then, the Republicons would have only six seats, as opposed to seven for the Democrats, they will say.

(Surely it will dawn on them that they will have no one on the Committee if they do not act soon?)

They would like to pick six of their own, McCarthy will argue . But, in the end, they will grudgingly accept the four open seats, and complain about the unfairness of it all. Nancy wants everything to fit her "narrative", they will say. (They will not say what Nancy's "narrative" is)

Can we expect this to happen in the next few days, maybe even today? Or will they permit the Committee to continue as it is now set up?

Won't Trump demand that McCarthy have someone on the Committee to defend him?

1. I imagine they've already started.

I don't watch Fux, so I can't be sure.

2. It's Monday, so it should start any minute now...

Madame Speaker holds the cards. She has blocked the junenile shit-stirrers McCarthy tried to put on the committee, so naturally they'll complain that they didn't get "their people" appointed. Per the rules as they are set up, they have a quorum and can proceed.

McCarthy and Trump will do what they do best, whine and cry and stomp their feet like terrible twos toddlers while the grownups get all that testimony written into the permanent Congressional Record, without any of the gaslighting and grandstanding that the Trumpistas wanted to shoehorn in.

3. They'll pull a series of desperate stunts hoping to hog each news cycle.

They want to obscure the truth.

6. That's what McCarthy is promising to do with the traitor support hearing he says he's calling.

He also says it's going to be bipartisan, but I really doubt that will happen. I expect a couple of hearings shown on Faux and no other major news shows where they will show clips of peacefulness on 1/6, and claim that there wasn't much disruption and what was there was from Antifa and Nancys responsible. It will not move one needle. Hopefully McCarthy reconsiders, but it's a total asshole move so drumpf will push him hard to do this and to keep it up for a long time.

7. Toxic whataboutism

Fucking Republican clownshow. What idiots.

4. I would like to see the Speaker invite that rep John Katko (R),

who surprisingly to McCarthy, successfully negotiated the Jan 6 commission terms the first time before being shot down by McCarthy.

5. What goes Around!

What is it about all the projection with these people. For years and years they shout " snowflake " over and over.
but when they get out maneuvered, it's immediately, unfair, unfair they cheated, Mom, Mom!!!!

9. My stomach isn't that strong.

About 10 years ago I experimented with listening to Hannity on the drive home. I never made it more than a few minutes before I was screaming at him and changing the channel. I decided it wasn't fruitful raising my blood pressure so so I could say I listen to both sides. It was totally not worth it, not one bit. I thought I might hear some good debate - but absolutely not.
