Trump pressuring McConnell and McCarthy to vote against any January 6th Commission.

[kentuck]

They are screaming in agony from just the thought of the pain to come.

Oh, to be free again!

President Trump urged Congressional Republicans late Tuesday to vote against legislation that would create a 9/11-style commission to investigate the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, calling it “more partisan unfairness” by Democrats.

“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. “Republicans must get much tougher and much smarter, and stop being used by the Radical Left.

“Hopefully, [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell and [House Minority Leader] Kevin McCarthy are listening!” the former president concluded.

1. He doesn't need to pressure them

they do his bidding without pressure. They just nod and smile as he gives them their marching orders.

2. Looks like the formerguy is

trying to cover his ample ass.

[spanone]

3. Former guy, the 'radical left' never tried to overthrow our government. STFU.

[malaise]

4. You know what I find disturbing?

Everyone knows Trump and his goons orchestrated that attempted coup and continue to try and overthrow both the Executive and Legislatie branches of government and yet he is being allowed to do so in public view.

It is maddening!

9. You can say THAT again

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

14. Utterly maddening!!

Godspeed, Tish James!!

7. You know what else I find disturbing,

lately MF45 speaks and miraculously it's being repeated in the MSM. I mean he doesn't need to be on twitter I guess.

[malaise]

13. You are right

but they only care about ratings. meanwhile the same ReTHUGs who refused to impeach him twice don't want a Commission.

[Diamond_Dog]

8. I agree 100% malaise

I’m tired of them continually getting away with this shit!

[underpants]

10. I find it amazing there's almost no discussion that Trump was Impeached over this actual day

There is almost no mention anywhere that I’ve heard that his second impeachment was due to instigating January 6th. Prior to, on, and during the day of the attack.

[malaise]

12. Excellent point

The fucker was impeached twice and he should have been remoed from office the first time.

[ScratchCat]

6. Ah, back to the coded language,

Soros conspiracies and a racial pivot.

It would be hilarious if not so sad.

[Marcuse]

11. Compare the previous DC protest with the Confederate Capitol insurrection.

[global1]

15. OK - Give Them What They Want - Separate Investigations

One investigation - for the Jan 6th Capitol Insurrection

and the second one for the other protests over the summer in Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago, Seattle and New York.

Call their bluff. I think that the BLM protests would break badly for the Repugs also.

Show them for what they really are - obstructionists. My guess is that they've come up with some cockamamie excuse why separate investigations is not acceptable for them either.

[Harker]

16. I've never referred to Trumpsky as "President Trump."

As far as I'm concerned he has no right to be honored in any way.

It's akin to calling a violent, bloody attempt to overthrow our government a "riot", let alone equating the seditious criminals with "tourists."

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

17. I get the mental image of McConnell's and McCarthy's lips stretching from D.C. to Mar-A-Lago

to kiss T****'s ass. He's already received the FedEx box with their balls.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. There is some serious exerted leverage of the money and the kompromat going on

Worship money, a billionaire is your cash flow and God

Mitt would have been a close match if he had won in 2012

[Nexus2]

19. Where in the blue Hell is murders, firebombing, etc, coming from? [nt]

[JohnnyRingo]

20. Why would Trump care about an investigation?

Oh yeah.
So now it's "bad people on both sides". *Makes hand washing gesture*

21. This won't end until the GQP cronies who served during frump's reign of terror are gone.

He knows who took the russian mob money and they will comply as long as they remain in office.
