No 1/6 Commission

[Dana7360]

Another attempt by Democrat extremists to discredit the Republican Party and thereby prevent Trump from running in the 2024 election has failed!​

The Senate voted 54-35 to reject the creation of a January 6 commission.

Actually the majority voted for it.

54 voted for it. The majority.

35 voted against it. The minority.

In a democratic republic, that would have become law.

The only reason why it didn't advance is because the republicans have destroyed democracy in our senate. A democracy requires over 50% to vote for it. Which is what happened.

Only a third voted against it.

Your lie is pathetic and has the situation backwards but then I expect it from people who believe that Barak Obama is a muslim from Kenya and Michelle is a man.

Senate Republicans block January 6 commission

A crucial Senate vote on a bill to create an independent inquiry to investigate the deadly January 6 Capitol Hill riot failed Friday, falling short of the 10 Republican votes needed to advance and illustrating GOP efforts to move on from the insurrection that left five people dead and injured...

It was going to be another Leftist goat fuck, anyway.

Well Bill, you just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

It's hilarious watching the Democrats fuck the dog, Doc...lol

This is why the filibuster needs to go.

Fascist morons, like you, hate our Republic so of course you want to dismantle the checks on oppressive government control.

What are you mewling about?

You are the one whining, jackass. I merely stated a fact.

Nope. You threw out words that show how clueless you are about my politics.

Want to try again, or do you prefer more egg on your face.

Fascists hate controls on government abuse. The filibuster is exactly that. The only person with egg on their face is you, either for being exposed as a fascist, or being too stupid to understand what you are saying.

Translation: I got nothing but puerile name calling.

Dismissed. Thanks for playing.

There's more political value in it for the D's to have it blocked.

Unfortunately for the R's, they talked themselves into taking a position that's going to cost them support and haunt them for long time to come.

Too fkng obvious!

The D's can have their own commission now for as long as it pleases them to keep it up, keep it up.

This has got to be an outstanding example of American stupidity on the part of the R's.

Morning Joe Scarborough predicts the same and he’s politically pretty damn astute.

D’s gave them everything they wanted. Happens every damn time of late. No reason to bargain with them on infrastructure either.

Same deal will happen again. These are not honest brokers.

The D's couldn't lose on this thing, but the outcome gave them a bigger win than the opposite result.

And too, this gives the D's added energy on their ambitions of dumping the filibuster, by putting egg all over Manchin's face.

I think Joe has about had it with this bunch. He may be about ready to give up his bipartisan schtick and nuke the filibuster.

Why, so he can kiss his seat goodbye?

No worries. Democrats tried to hold a bipartisan joint investigation. Now it will have to be partisan investigations held independently in each chamber.

Yes of course! But the D's had to take the step of making the offer. Now they can keep it all alive and drag it out until they're satisfied with the results.

The only thing really curious about the results is Patty Murray's no vote.

That had to be prearranged with Shumer, to send a message. It couldn't be anything else when Shumer knew he wouldn't win the vote. And there's no way that Patty is a renegade.

The republicans filibustered the bill. So there wasn't 60 votes to advance the legislation.

The republicans succeeded in killing the legislation just like they do with all good legislation our nation needs so badly.

Most Americans know why the republicans don't want an investigation into their attack on our capitol last January.

This won't stop the investigations. All it does is prevent a bipartisan investigation.

Now, the democrats can and probably will set up their own investigations without republicans stopping it.

Bad choice. At least with the commission it was bipartisan. Now, republicans will have little if any say in the investigations.

Senate Republicans Block Jan. 6 Riot Commission

Why is a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Riot "good legislation that our nation needs so badly"? Have the pertinent law enforcement agencies STOPPED investigating it or something? If not, why do the Congress Critters need to waste their time & OUR MONEY investigating it? Don't they have better things to do?

Let law enforcement do its job and refrain from politicizing this mess, we don't need another "Congressional Commission" aka GRANDSTANDING EXERCISE.

First of saying you don't want to politicize an instance where the former US president didn't want to accept election results to the point that he asked his supporters to stop the certification of that election is kind of disingenuous. This is NOT just a law enforcement issue. This is an inherently political issue too.

The political question is way more important IMO. How do you have a representative Democracy when one party of a binary election can simply say, "I lost legally so I feel within my rights to use extralegal means to remain in power?"

Even if it wouldn't be something that is strictly illegal, investigating the question and be forced to reckon with the answer is probably one of the most important things you can do.

The whole problem is I suspect, that having to reckon with that answer is something the GOP doesn't want to do because it would force them to take a position instead of straddling the fence in order to keep their caucus together.

Why is it “inherently a political issue” ? What Donny is accused of doing on Jan.6 (inciting a riot/insurrection) is a CRIME right?

We’ve already dealt with the political side of the equation in the manner mandated by the U.S.Constitution for a sitting President (impeachment) if there are further actions necessary they fall SOLELY in the realm of LAW ENFORCEMENT (principally the Justice Department).

What the Democrats are attempting to do is insert themselves into the realm of Law Enforcement, which from my perspective is likely because:
1. They want to use that heinous incident as a GRANDSTANDING exercise
2. They want to perform a de facto extension of the IMPEACHMENT PROCESS

The more this gets politicized the more likely the hands of LAW ENFORCEMENT will get restrained from seeing Justice Served.

The FBI is FAR more capable of investigating this than Congress Critters ever have been or ever will be, that is as long as politicians leave them alone and let them do their job.

Nice spin. In short, however, you might as well make a claim that trump is innocent and the event on January 6th last was just any other day. Let's see how this plays out during the next 19 months.

You can fool ....

To be perfectly honest, from what I saw from the publicly available video evidence, I think Donny is GUILTY, however I know of one sure way to make sure that he’s NEVER held accountable for it and that is to let the party before country Congress Critters to politicize this even more than it already has been by enpaneling yet another “Congressional Commission”, they just make it harder for LAW ENFORCEMENT to investigate and prosecute the case.

Despite all of the partisan attacks on the FBI, it still has WAY more credibility than Congress Critters with the majority of Americans.

Did you learn nothing from the way the Hillary Clinton “illegal server” investigation unfolded after our Boys & Girls in Congress got a hold of it? How did that work out with respect to the way the FBI was backed into a corner with respect to handling the case?

All that's needed to keep Trump out of office is to keep Democrats to win control of Congress in the 2024 election.

.. yeah and Democrat partisans are doing everything they possibly can to ensure that Republicans win back control of Congress in 2024, did you folks learn nothing from 2010? Apparently not because from what I can see Crime Family-D is making all the same mistakes.

I don't think voters will forget this. At least a majority of us. We know who the enemy of democracy is.

You mean, you support government run thought police?

No. It is a very certain part of the ethnic group.

Bipartisan? Who are you kidding? Bicommunist is more like it.

Fuck off, nut, until you learn what bipartisan means.

Fuck off troll. There should have been a bipartisan investigation of fraud and Jan. 6th never would have happened.

The states already did that, Fruitcake. Then they certified their slates. In turn, certified by the Congress which included several objections.

They were offered the chance to do what they did in the late 1800's. 40% of voters had viable questions, 7 states symbolically picked alternative electors, one state PA. wrote Pence and asked him not to certify their electors and Congress did nothing but vote it down and prove their complicity in the theft of the election. Period Assflap.

It's certainly safe to say that the future of American freedom and democracy is still at grave danger -- until the Republicans finally acknowledge what Trump did, openly distance themselves from him and condemn him.

Until this happens, there is still the risk of an anti-constitutional, anti-freedom and democracy party winning the next election and turning America into a dictatorship, so that 200 years of freedom and constitutional rule will appear like a historical exception.

America will then become just one more of these American banana republics where the military or some right-wing insurgents putsch themselves to power and establish a half-assed nationalistic dictatorship.

Christians know that there is a clear rule: There can be no forgiveness without remorse. Likewise, the Republicans cannot be forgiven what they attempted to do on January 6th, unless they stop sinning against freedom and democracy and put Trump on trial.

Nope, it's not hyperbole.

It's exactly what happened. The entire world can see it for what it is. That so many Americans still cannot, is very naive, but perhaps not surprising, considering you never had such a threat to your freedom.

But hey, take this advice from a German for what it's worth.

It's massive hyperbole and projection...Like the rest of your moonbat crew, you're totally hysterical to go with completely lacking of any introspection whatsoever.

The only thing this very odd dude seems to post are personal attacks. Can anyone prove to disprove this claim?

It’s a subjective question but if you don’t like his posts don’t read or respond to them.

Personally I think Oddball comes up with some witty stuff which makes me laugh and thats is ALWAYS appreciated!

[Turtlesoup]

I still want to know who killed JFK.

We need some closure here people!

I know, we will give Mueller $30 million to find out who killed JFK.

What could possibly go wrong?

Russians/mob/his dirty family/opec and bankers..so many choices.

the mob silenced the only true witness------which is quit telling. Why would the mob in bed with the Kennedys silence the patsy or shooter of Kennedy...

And you voted for biden/harris regardless.

No keep the filibuster. If the filibuster is removed and the republicans get control of our government again, there will be nothing to stop their irresponsible economic policies and their irresponsible, hateful and discriminatory social policy.

Look what has happened with the courts since the filibuster was removed on federal judges. The filibuster brought at least some balance and moderation to appointees. Without it, we got a Supreme Court and federal courts full of right wing crazy people.

The answer is to vote. Over come all the obstacles that the republicans put in place for voting and vote every single one of them out of office.

Then set to the big job of cleaning up the huge mess they made.

People with their economic and social policies don't belong in our government.

I get that Dana. But history is on the side of Rs in midterms.
Gotta get everything done (that the American people WANT) before then!

The D's just need to time the court cases and convictions for just before the next election.

Manipulating the justice system for political reasons isn't a virtue, dumbass.
