1. A new subcommittee to push Qanon conspiracies?

I'm tickled pink repugs want to promote Qanon from our National's Capitol and investigate the investigators, and
all the other crazy shit they're coming up with they think is more important than actual governing. The freedumb
caucus with McCarthy's help is putting the worst "do nothing Congress" we have ever seen in place.

The independent voters who decide all elections will be paying attention and will not be happy with repugs one
little bit. There's a BIG BLUE WAVE coming in 2024 thanks to reQublicOn stupidity and revenge tactics.

3. As painful and embarrassing as their antics are to endure, I think you're right

I watched on Friday night and that was bad enough - it was like a movie that was too ridiculous to be believed, they almost got into a fist fight! Who does that on national TV??! And especially after Hakeem Jeffries' historic speech, McCarthy's back-patting looked even more cringeworthy. And then there was the interview after all that when he thanked TFG! Good Grief!

2. The insurrectionists inflict misery on millions, and for what?

I've been watching a documentary on D-Day, WWII tonight. At the end, an old German veteran lamented all the 18 y.o. Germans who never had a chance to live their lives, "and for what?"

I ask, why are Republicans intent on inflicting so much misery on everyone? For what?

5. Good comparison, they are obviously deluded and you'd think they would have gotten over it by now

But Fox "News" is still on the air, spreading their hate and lies - and those who watch it really think it's news! It sure would help if TFG had been charged and out of circulation by now, but as long as he's out there, his "supporters" are going to believe whatever nonsense he manages to spew...

7. And as long as he's spewing

repugs in congress will look after him, cover his ass and support him. They're scared shitless of his or MAGAts wrath.

8. Well, he managed to unleash the violence. But doesn't it dawn on anyone that so many are jailed?

That's what I don't get, what's taking so long? They've managed to identify, charge, hold trials, convict and jail so many of the January 6th insurrectionists - so why is their "leader" who called them all there still on the loose?! It's not like they have to look hard to find him, he refuses to shut up!

4. I hope Hakeem Jeffries has a discharge petition expert on speed dial. nt

6. Informative segment.

And same here, on Friday night I was really hoping against hope that Hakeem Jeffries would win...
