Riddle me this, GOP ...

If it was antifa that attacked the Capitol, why do so many of those now arrested have proven ties to extremist RW groups?

Why would antifa adherents want to stop the process by which Trump would officially be declared the loser of the 2020 election, which was something they wanted to happen?

As for the they were trying to make Trump look bad meme, I'll state the bleedin' obvious: When it comes to looking bad, Trump has never required any help from anyone. He does that extremely well without any assistance.

I'm not getting the connection between that and the "it was antifa that attacked the Capitol" meme.

And that's my point. Why would 'we' interrupt the certification of the votes that officially put our guy in the WH?

This kind of meme from the GOP leads me to believe there aren't enough brain cells in their entire party to think these things through.

Why didn't the claimed tip of the spear get arrested, and why would they do that?

at first they said no 1/6 commission without adding in antifa and BLM protests from the last year. Because they want to investigate antifa and BLM. Dems said no. So if 1/6 was antifa, you get your investigation. Yes?

They think we can't add 2 plus 2.

They think that everyone is as stupid as their own constituents.

I mean, the commission was their chance to prove their claims.
