Hey Republicans...Do You Remember THIS SHIT? Because WE Do.

Last edited Thu May 20, 2021, 09:56 PM - Edit history (2)

You either vote for the Jan. 6th investigation committee THAT MCCARTHY ASKED FOR, and then changed his mind....OR you get a BENGHAZI!!!11!1! Select Committee, like the one YOU showed us how to create. A panel of partizan hacks who drags Democrats (specifically Clinton) through the mud for YEARS, all for the sake of driving their numbers down.

House Democrats will simply create a mirror image of that Select Committee, and spend the next two years dragging Trump, McCarthy, and McConnell through the mud, along with all of the other Trump Flying Monkey Squad. I'd like to see Trump cross examined by the committee for eight solid hours the way Clinton was, and see how long it takes before they have to sedate him, and drag him out in a straight jacket. And every time you WHINE about it, we'll remind you that you voted AGAINST the non-partisan committee, and it's your own fault.

Maybe YOU'VE forgotten that that's what you did with the supposed Benghazi investigation, but WE sure haven't.

I agree -- Democrats should give Republicans the big middle finger, form their own Select Committee heavily weighted with Democrats, and proceed to hold at least eleven hearings into the Jan 6 terrorist attack on US Senators and the Capitol building..

The problem is this: I am not certain that Democrats have the balls to do it. We seem to always wimp out at the last minute. When faced with a rattlesnake or a rabid dog, you kill it, you do not negotiate with it.

not so much now. The justice department will enforce subpoenas like they used to do before Trump.

It wouldn't be like Benghazi where one side was wasting time trying to find something that wasn't there. There's plenty of "there" there with these cons. They will have to be dragged kicking and screaming of course, but if you could ever get them to that point, their lies will never stand up. That's the main reason they are fighting so much.
