1. Good starting lineup to set the scene.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

2. Fanone is awesome, plain spoken, voted trump 2016

tatted up, career police officer who had a heart attack due to the damage caused by trump supporters on jan 6th and is frankly pissed off by how he and other officers were treated that day and every day since then.

15. I definitely appreciate his changed perspective, but

I wonder what made him vote for Trump in the first place. Did he really not realize how bad Trump would be?

[RANDYWILDMAN]

23. He liked the law and order....

remember Trump is fake reality tv tough guy

3. And apparently McCarthy is still waiting for TFG to decide

which members of the Traitor Caucus will get to show up and make asses of themselves.

[Nevilledog]

4. Remember, he doesn't get to decide.

He can give a list of who he wants, but Pelosi has final say.

5. That could be the hold up. You know they'd *like* to put

a couple of bomb-throwers like Gaetz and Margie the Kook on there, but Pelosi isn't about to let it become a circus.

[Nevilledog]

6. He'll name Gaetz, Johnson, Greene, Brooks & Boebert the day before.

Then they'll all be in an uproar when Pelosi says fuck off.

7. Gym Jordan doesn't make the cut?

And he is certifiable.

[Nevilledog]

8. Maybe instead of Brooks.

Too many evil shits to choose from.

[rurallib]

11. Who is Johnson? Wisconsin senator?

he may be in the wrong house.

[Nevilledog]

12. Doh.....I just realized I mixed up my fascists. You are correct.

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. Which is why putting Liz Cheney on the committee was such a master stroke.

It's bi-partisan, whether they want it to be or not.

[Johnyawl]

18. There are a few other republicans who Pelosi could pick...

...I like to believe she's waiting for McCarthy to nominate the clowns so she can kick him in the teeth.

I'm not a nice person.

10. K & R bookmarking

Thanks for posting!

[Champp]

13. Who? Who? Who?

Gave the orders to stand down and do absolutely nothing to protect America's Capitol, or to support the police.

Who gave the orders to let the deranged Republican mob piss all over America, and smear their Republican shit on the walls and halls of America's cathedral of democracy?

Take your reeking treasonous Republican feces back, and shove it down your Republican man shorts, where it belongs, traitors.

[Progressive Jones]

14. I want to know why only one was shot and killed. At the least, those first ones through the doors

should have been fired upon.

[2naSalit]

16. That is a good question...

I have wondered that myself since I watched it happen live.

[monkeyman1]

17. they would have scattered like cowards they are !! other country's -lot of them shot down!

[Nevilledog]

20. Have not seen that Pelosi is accepting any of them.

[ancianita]

21. You might be right. I just found it in Wikipedia. This is what they think is its composition so far

[ancianita]

22. No, I haven't seen that she's accepted them. This is a list put forward, and not official.

The situation is fluid, but I just wanted to put the names out there for now, subject to change, of course.

Thanks for the reminder.
