Former President Trump called for an immediate end to the debate over a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot the night before the House is expected to approve the plan.

“Republicans in the House and Senate should not approve the Democrat trap of the January 6 Commission. It is just more partisan unfairness and unless the murders, riots, and fire bombings in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago, and New York are also going to be studied, this discussion should be ended immediately,” Trump said in a statement Tuesday night.

“Republicans must get much tougher and much smarter, and stop being used by the Radical Left. Hopefully, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are listening!” he added.

Trump's statement came shortly after the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus endorsed the creation of a panel, despite opposition from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.).......................................................................

13. The Republicans never wanted a commision for the violence connected to the BLM protests until now.

What is it that they need to know. They have been telling us that it is all Antifa. Now they are not sure?

[tanyev]

14. Uh-huh.

[madaboutharry]

15. He instigated and encouraged the insurrection.

He needs to be investigated and prosecuted for his involvement in this crime against the country.

[BlueStater]

16. No one cares what you call for, scumbag.

You have no power anymore. Go fuck yourself.

21. That oRange mob$teR will ask to end the criminal investigation of his oRg...

Predictable person, man, woman, camera, teevee.

22. I can practically hear him now:

23. Being under oath is what he fears more than anything ...

... other than wearing an orange jumpsuit in solitary confinement

[Bristlecone]

24. It brings me great joy to know he is scared about this

It consumes him. Nobody telegraphs their fear like trump.

[Warpy]

25. He still can't admit to himself or anyone else that HE IS OUT OF OFFICE

Never mind he LOST, just the fact that he's OUT.

It would be funny if his goons weren't still so dangerous.

[hay rick]

26. Problem Solvers Caucus announced support for commission AFTER McCarthy came out against it.

Shit's about to get real.

[niyad]

27. We know that he did not write this. Apart from "democrat" committee, everything is spelled correctly

with complete sentences, and no caps.

Go away, you f'n, murdering, orange traitor.

[Frustratedlady]

28. That came out before the SDNY announcement. I wonder what he's been saying after 10:00ET?

How enjoyable to now see that he can yell his head off but no one is listening.

Yell at SDNY AG Letitia James and the DA for Manhattan, Trumpie! See what their responses are.

[Rhiannon12866]

29. I looked up Letitia James back when she was running in 2018

And she was talking about investigating Trump back then - needless to say, she got my vote!

[Frustratedlady]

30. Good for you! I sure would vote for her if I could. She's not going to give up the fight.

We seem to have a lot of women who are showing the men in charge how to make things happen.

Speaking of, I need to restock the popcorn.

[Rhiannon12866]

31. She's obviously dedicated to getting to the truth regarding the corruption

And here in New York, she's not about to get shut down. She really was the perfect choice for this job!

[Stuart G]

34. Thank You..I will quote you,.."She really was the perfect choice for the job"

[Rhiannon12866]

37. I didn't know who she was until she won the primary

There were four candidates running and I knew (and liked) only two of the four. But as soon as Letitia James won, I looked her up and ran across a very compelling video in which she pledged to investigate Trump! I've been a firm supporter ever since!

[BigmanPigman]

32. What about that pesky NY CRIMINAL investigation?!?

He' got 3 criminal investigations which are separate from the Jan 6 insurrection. He is missing his Twitter account tonight.

[Stuart G]

33. Thank You for posting. The truth about Trump: "Donald Trump is much too stupid to know he's stupid"

[Gaugamela]

35. Methinks he doth protest too much. N/t

[Stuart G]

39. OH MY, OH MY..IS THIS A QUOTE FROM A PLAY?.IS THAT PLAY HAMLET? Shakespeare At DU !!

The lady doth protest too much, methinks - Wikipedia


https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › The_lady_doth_protest

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a line from the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. It is spoken by Queen Gertrude in response to the insincere overacting of a character in the play within a play created by Prince Hamlet to prove his uncle's guilt in the murder of his father, the King of Denmark.

Did you say, "MacBeth"?

64. I thank you for your company; but, good faith,

I had as lief have been myself alone.

36. Did you guys hear a gurgling noise??

Kinda what it sounded like to me, anyway. Seemed to be coming from the southeasterly direction...not that it's important, tho.

[YoshidaYui]

45. WHO THE FUCK DOES he think he is?? I know where he is going..

46. There is an investigation of 1/6 being done

by the FBI.

50. I'll bet he does want it stopped now, it'll expose him and other members of Congress,

And watch how long before he starts calling on his followers again to threaten violence if its not stopped. He knows he will become exposed for knowing and backing it being done, and will get exposed. The only thing is he can't stop it now . Desperation will make this cornered rat to do more stupid things. The FBI will be targeted by him too because they're investigating it too. Will putin help him this time? All members of Congress will show their true colors when its voted on, and it will come back to bite them if they vote against it.

[UpInArms]

51. Why is The Hill using twitter as trump's proxy?

I call BS ...

Hoping Dorsey blocks them from doing this

[pfitz59]

54. Fuck this seditious bastard

why isn't he already in prison?

[King_Klonopin]

56. The Republican Instruction Manual:

When you lose, just act as though you are the winner. (or, at least, entitled to be the winner)

When you are guilty, just act as though you are innocent. (or accuse a Democrat of the same thing)

When you are obviously wrong, just act as though you are absolutely right (or change the subject).

When you are caught being a hypocrite, just act as though your contradictions never happened.

When you are caught in a blatant, heinous, criminal act -- just act as though you are the victim, with righteous indignation.

Blame, Blame, Blame the other side.

Cover up, Cover up, Cover up.

No Shame, ever.

58. Amazing how many decades empty pieholes remain open

[Lonestarblue]

60. If Congress cannot set up this commission, maybe it's time for a Special Prosecutor.

Republicans are fighting any investigation for a reason—they know that Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection that they knew about and perhaps helped plan, and they’re afraid that there’s enough proof out there to convict them all.

I know it will look partisan for the DOJ to investigate Trump and members of Congress, but trying to overturn an election is serious enough to warrant such an investigation.

[Aussie105]

61. Trump sees himself as the alternate President.

Appealing to his followers to make the pesky things from the past simply go away.

He really needs the peace and quiet to plot and scheme his return to his rightful place in the Universe.
This stuff is just so much static and distraction for him.

There must be some way to make him shut up. Permanently.

Oh, I know! The Hill, and all other media, put him on mute, reduce his status to 'not newsworthy'. Permanently.

[LiberatedUSA]

62. He also demands three scoops and later bed times. N/t

[bucolic_frolic]

63. Self-dealing dictator move if there ever was one

[PatrickforB]

65. Effing traitor.

He is a TRAITOR, and so are the Republicans who are backing this play.

66. remember Helsinki when Putin spanked dumpy ? never forget that face he made !!
