They will do that no matter what - my spam folder proves it.

In hindsight based on my conversations with trump supporters beforehand it was obvious something was going down on January 6. I mean that is was common fucking knowledge, splashed all over the internet.

I was surprised as to the extent of what eventually happened as many but that's because it's not my fucking job to protect the capitol. Never in a million years did I think they would just sit back and allow it to happen which is exactly what they fucking did. Maybe they didn't expect such a large scale attack but they were basically a bunch of security guards defending a weekend farmers market with the kind of security they had that day.

No doubt it was deliberate and was orchestrated by Trump and his traitor sycophants.

last summer i ran in to someone on linkedin that i dated for a few weeks 30 years ago; she was all "ermagherd how are you!" then by the 3rd message it was all trumpkin/q/ownlibtards.

i just kept it to how did your life turn out but she always turned it back to the simulation.

on the 5th, out of the blue no messages since before the election, she sends a message "I am blocking you and don't ever contact me again".

there was some kind of mass-delusion of a rapture in orange going in to this thing.

which is why i question the Boys.   i have a hard time believing they didn't have this cold weeks in advance.

Why are they even bothering?  Pelosi is just gonna tell them to fuck off.

Republicans love to play the victim these days, it's like it's an integral part of their DNA that they have to be a victim.

Meanwhile, the adults know that Gym was deliberately picked to derail the commission, and so won't be on it.

A part of me says "fuck it, let Gym on the commission, let him completely trash law enforcement, let him say the quiet things out loud."

But then Republicans would be quite fine with him trashing cops, so...

In rejecting Jim Jordan, Nancy should quote Liz Cheney; “that fucking guy…that son of a bitch.” Then she should slap McCarthy’s hand and say to him; “you fucking did this.”

So I know this is the common thought from political Twitter, but has Pelosi acknowledged that she would/could reject unserious candidates? Real question, as I have not been following very closely.

Oh, I know. It will just give them more fodder. More red meat to go on Fox News and feed to the base.

When they started laying out the information on the Commission, her veto power was mentioned.  They didn't mention that for shits and giggles, and didn't throw it out with the thought she would never exercise it.

It’s a select committee established by the Speaker because the GOP stupidly voted down the bipartisan one.  She can appoint all 13, but gave McCarthy say on 5.  She doesn’t have to go with his recommendations. 

I hope she vetos 3, accepts the other 2 and picks the other 3 GOP herself.

This is nearly identical to the Benghazi committee. Boehner had majority appointment power for 7 and Pelosi got to “consult” on the other 5. He accepted her 5 appointments

Identical except that she didn't pick a bunch of batshit nuts, so Boehner never had to veto them.

I feel like “voted against election results” and/or “voted against investigating 1/6” are two pretty simple criteria that would be easy to justify and eliminate (most of) the lunatics.

Yeah I think she’ll veto 3 and accept the other 2.  Kinzinger, Meijer and Herrera Beutler would be 3 good choices.

30, give or take, in the House. Of the 5 submitted by McCarthy, only Rodney Davis passes both tests.

Hell yeah.

I figured Nehls would be accepted (though he shouldn't be).  Gym was a bridge too far and Banks ran his mouth about turning the whole thing into a spotlight on the Dems.

Chair: "Mr. Trump, why didn't you evacuate the White House when the Capitol was attacked?"

Chair: "Mr. Pence, why did you refuse the Secret Service instruction to enter your official limousine in the secure underground location?"

McCarthy is pulling all the GOPers from the committee now.  That was the plan all along - force Pelosi's hand to veto one or two and then take their ball and go home.

Pelosi should just laugh at him, appoint the 3 she approved from McCarthy's list and pick 2 other Republicans (Kinzinger/Meijer/Herrera Buetler/Upton).

Dang. I thought cooperation with republicans would work this time. Huh. Guess not. Maybe next time. 

Technically idk if I'd call it "cooperating" - the rules of the committee gave McCarthy 5 picks and Pelosi had to power the veto them.  She vetoed 2 of the 5.  Republicans took their ball and went home. (which we know they'd likely do, considering they intentionally picked Gym Jordan)

The committee will continue regardless.  Pelosi can pick 5 Republicans, 5 Dems or a mix and the work will happen. 

Cooperating would have been Pelosi accepting all 5 under the guise of bipartisanship or something.  She actually did what people would have wanted her to do.

Nehls isn’t the worst pick. Gym is. If Pelosi only has 1 veto, it’s him. 

NPR said he was fired from his police job for poor handling of crime scene evidence, among other things.  He didn't get vetoed by he's out nonetheless.

I'm glad shes going to the mat on this. 

I can't believe these ass hats are trying to paper over this - I mean, I can, but god damn, this is some depraved shit.  Even if iT wAS aNTifA that did this, shouldn't we want to figure that out and do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again!?  With all the video evidence how can such a sizable portion of our populace think this was a nothingburger that doesn't even warrant an investigation?

Man, out of all the BS from the last year and the whole Trump experience, this is the thing that makes me most despondent.  I just can't understand it.  Can't abide it.  Won't abide it.

Looking forward to Pelosi emphasizing "bipartisan" every single time she describes this investigation.

But, that was going to happen regardless.  Now they get to question and subpoena witnesses without fanfare, and completely control the story.
