10 votes short in the Senate.Yeah, going to follow up one sham with another.
So is Manchin a DINO?
No one represents the ideals of bipartisanship like Gym Jordan.I adore you. You try so hard. Don't ever change.
I am thinking it would have been over 10 Republican Senators if Trump had still been in office when this took place
Having a token person who will be completely ignored and have no power in order to perpetrate tbis lie that there will be any shred of bipartisanship in the committee report would have been a mistake. There is zero chance that this report will be anything but a bunch of far-left nut jobs conclusions attacking and blaming everything right.
And here is your answer. Today’s politicians are more concerned about their jobs than their integrity.
Amen. I vote we take the bolded sentence and make it the description under the PSF title page.
It's particularly ridiculous in the case of Cheney, whose one deviation from Republican orthodoxy was thinking that Trump lost the election and shouldn't have tried to overturn the result. Apparently that's all that matters these days.
For sure. But IMO it’s ridiculous up and down the board. We live in a world now that promotes, rewards and encourages not working together. It’s insane.
Same with Kinzinger. There was a time he was considered to be far-right as Tea Party conservative. He acknowledges Biden won and (rightly) criticized Trump's post-election rhetoric and now he's a RINO. Kiss Trump's....um, ring or you're out of the party.
Exactly. Not sure why the Democrats keep doing it then.moleculo said:
Let McCarthy choose who he wants to be on the commission so it is bipartisan and not a circus.
Disband it for the farce and donkey show that it is. This is only being done to serve a political agenda - it's not about logic, facts, truth of "finding things out". If they were so concerned about those things, they would have started a BLM/Antifa Commission.
You're right, it's what happened in May. But the way negotiations work is that if you offer the other side a concession and they reject it, you're under no obligation to continue offering them that concession. And it also doesn't change the fact that Pelosi voted in favor of a commission where McCarthy would get to appoint his own members and McCarthy voted against it. So if you're blaming anyone for the lack of bipartisanship, you should blame him.
No, defending Pelosi is a bad look. Even Democrats on this board have said as much with her actions last week.
How is blaming McCarthy for the lack of bipartisanship (due to passing on the first proposed commission) in any way defending Pelosi? Please explain.
I'm not interested in defending Pelosi. You started a thread that said Pelosi has made multiple mistakes. That would imply you think she should have done things differently. So I'm asking you, what should she had done differently?
This simply isn't true.Pelosi made a massive blunder which will cost her the SOTH.
So you said she committed "multiple mistakes", but the only one you can actually cite is that she opposed something she's on the record as voting in favor of?
No, that is just 1 mistake. First mistake was even wanting a committee for an obvious waste of time. Moving forward without Republicans is another mistake. Publicly only trying to get Republicans like Cheaney on board was another mistake.
What unknowns are there about the riots from last summer? What questions would such a commission seek to address? What things should they be concerned about that need to be reviewed?
"What's the best way for us to 'both-sides' the fact that the leader of our party incited a mob to overturn a democratic election?"
Hmm, I think it did. But you're right that we don't know for sure what happened on that day. If only there was some way we could get to the bottom of the issue.
When you're not consisten or honest or true in your positions then that's what happens. You get called out with the truth. Hypocrites don't get the benefit of the doubt.
A lot of business owners lost money due to the summer riots. A commission could hold those thugs accountable.
Do you ... understand what a commission is for? (Hint: It's not a replacement for the police.)
