Every Dem saw this coming for miles, even Chin-Chin. Hell, there was bragging around here that this was Pelosi's way of putting them in a box marked "traitors" on the side. But that's how the media grab eyeballs, I guess: everything leaves "Dems in disarray," yip yip yap blip blap blop.

This media push to paint our party as naive simpletons is disgusting. Does anybody believe Pelosi and Schumer don’t truly understand the depths of depravity and corruption the Republicans have fallen into? They get the intelligence briefings - they know full well who’s paying who.

You would think that it was the Democrats whom failed to do their jobs- or even more insanely- were possibly even COMPLICIT with the insurrectionist Republicans.

Republicans own this. We have no idea what Sinema was doing or where she was while this was going down but it was Republicans whom are throwing up a filibuster on this. Democrats have been doing the responsible things to address 1/6.

Republican stall and oppress. Some Dems stall and oppress. And, our party appears stymied and uncertain about how to proceed. Party leaders must find whatever leverage they can and apply it vigorously; that’s all I can see. As always: logic and decorum are aren’t suitable weapons in a street fight.

and it was still Lucy snatching the football away.

Well, this time, the GOP did it to themselves, The DOJ and FBI are pursuing this and that sweet deal they got for them in a Congressional hearing will not apply to those two outfits.

I'm glad the damned thing failed. American morons don't watch the hearings and the news doesn't do them justice.

I want the people who organized this and paid for it to pay. I want the participants crushed. I want the whole right wing dictatorship machine dismantled and left to rot.

If McCarthy and the other bums in the Republican House want to complain, ignore them. The Dems now have the go-ahead to investigate deeply and fairly on their own terms and for their own purposes. If the proceedings inevitably take the shape of a partisan campaign it will only be because the Republicans forced the Democrats hand. So, come on, Dems, do a thorough investigation, summon witnesses -- and, dammit, jail anyone who refuse to obey a lawful summons!

Gloves off, steel toed boots on. Time to kick the McCarthy House where it hurts by reminding America and the world of where these traitors and liars were on January 6th and what they have done to keep anyone from finding out how deeply into the insurrection they were and are. And lets not leave out the Big Lie and Loser-45’s efforts to sow doubt in the silly putty minds of the Fat Man’s 75,000,000 voters, let’s not drift away from the efforts being made in red states to prevent POCs from voting. The GOP has flipped us the bird so let’s play all the cards we have. Every Jan6 denier is complicit, every GOP politician who insists publicly that Biden did not win the 2020 election is also complicit in the insurrection.

The GOP has become a movement that threatens the very heart and soul of this country. It’s turned from a loyal opposition party into a mad freaking dog. Its political operatives, its Senators and Representatives, its Governors and State Legislators, have become, most of them, vile, vicious, lying traitors -- traitors to the very foundations of this country, its values, its hopes for equal justice and liberty for all. You cannot reason with them. You waste your time even trying.

Use the House investigation to display your power. Use it to mercilessly and relentlessly expose the treason at the heart of the GOP by naming names and publicly displaying evidence of its complicity in the treasonous actions of the January 6 mob. Seek grand jury indictments wherever possible, and keep the fight in the public’s eye and mind.

Gloves off, steel toed boots on.
