Mob storms Capitol

[Thomas Veil]

The mind boggles.

What the hell is this damn fool suggesting? That a few FBI agents were among the insurrectionists? That the FBI itself participated in it and supported it somehow? Or is he just trying to pull that favorite new Republican trick of investigating the investigators?

Basically it's a regurgitation of Tucker Carlson's latest bit of misinformation.

The basics of it are:



As usual it's part of the never ending projected narrative that White 45 supporters can't be guilty of something that even BLM didn't do. So the plan is always to fish for someone else to blame, to justify investigating elsewhere. So the original claims of ANTIFA & BLM actually did it has just disappeared, to move on to what may stick to the walls instead.

The problem, to investigate the FBI on their actions on 1/6, means the investigation into 1/6 that they quashed would have to happen after all.

A police officer injured on Jan 6 finally got a meeting with Kevin McCarthy.

“I asked him to denounce the 21 House Republicans that voted against the Gold Medal bill, recognizing my co-workers and colleagues that fought to secure the Capitol on Jan. 6,” Officer Fanone said. He said he had also asked that Mr. McCarthy publicly disavow a comment by Representative Andrew Clyde, Republican of Georgia, comparing the events of Jan. 6 to a Capitol tour.

“I found those remarks to be disgusting,” said Officer Fanone, who was beaten unconscious and subjected to a Taser by the mob, suffering a heart attack and a brain injury. “I also asked him to publicly denounce the baseless theory that the F.B.I. was behind the Jan. 6 insurrection.”

As of Friday evening, Mr. McCarthy had done none of those things.

What a sack of McCarthy is.

What a sack of McCarthy is.

What an understatement!

And to believe this is the crowd that laments bad fatal things wouldn't happen to OTHER people if they just complied.

Anyone who can watch this and still refuse to call it an insurrection needs some psychological help, stat.

THIS is when the Capitol police are quick & ready to make arrests

Guess it's a special strategy the Capitol police only on certain crowds, as opposed to the ones on 1/6.

Felony conviction for a violent attempt to overthrow the U.S. government: only 8 months in prison. Our ”justice” system is seriously f-ed up.

Martyrs, one and all, with figurative (and possibly literal) “Born to Lose” tattoos on them. Generally dudes with nothing to lose so fuck it. 8 months is a joke indeed.

At this stage, I’m just happy they’re giving them any sentence at all. Be thankful for the little things.

As for the bigger fish…remember that no one was charged or indicted for Watergate for two years.

It’s important to note this guy has no record, confessed, apologized and said Biden is the rightful president. Others have created scenes in the courtroom that should make their sentencing interesting. I’m ok with 8 months if they don’t have proof of him assaulting anyone. Is it ideal? I honestly don’t know. But this is only the first.

The ironic part is now these yokels will have to deal with the mob they were a part of. Will they be called “treasonous RINOs”? Who knows.

What really pisses me off to no end is the obvious and so see-through it’s absurd attempt by McConnell and McCarthy to paint this as a “partisan investigation”. They intentionally derailed the bipartisan committee because then whatever the findings are would be harder to lie, twist and manipulate to their cult followers. So they vote that down, then make Pelosi do a select committee.

Of course, McCarthy put one of the biggest lowlife, smarmy weasels in the house - Gym Jordache (not a typo) - on the committee, knowing no sane person in their right mind would put him on any body of officials seeking the truth.

So now McCarthy will pull his picks and say “see? It’s all a partisan show”, and they will refute whatever is found by the body. We already know the basics - it played out in real life and on social media: Trump pushed a lie and fomented a mob to storm the Capitol, doing everything but explicitly saying what his mob should do verbatim.

The question is, how deep did lowlifes around Trump (like Giuliani and Mark Meadows) go to help push that mob, and what did his congress cultists like Tuberville or McCarthy know?

Hand out subpoenas and make sure they are enforced. Subpoena Trump too. The conservatives won’t accept any finding that doesn’t square with Trump’s narrative. So just move on without them and get to the truth without them.

Gym Jordan was clearly a poison pill, and McCarthy knew he’d be rejected. That’s his only reason for putting his name forward. Pelosi could have called his bluff and then marginalized him on the committee... but that could end up really badly.

Jim Jordan, MTG and other Republicans now falsely blaming Pelosi for Jan. 6 debacle

Ohio Republican and various right-wing allies spread debunked narrative that Pelosi rejected National Guard

Fact checking Rep. Jordan's claim that Speaker Pelosi was responsible for US Capitol security on January 6

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio suggested Wednesday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been responsible for the security presence at the US Capitol on January 6, after Pelosi rejected his appointment to serve on the select committee investigating the insurrection.

Pelosi Has Chosen A 2nd Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, To Serve On Jan. 6 Panel

Kinzinger will join fellow Republican Liz Cheney at the committees first hearing Tuesday. Both supported impeaching Trump for Jan. 6, and were the only GOP members to support the committee's creation.

And this has Mark Meadows creating the new term “Pelosi Republicans.”

But what the hey right? Repeating false & stupid shit has worked wonders for this crowd so far. Whether is voting, vaccines, or American history, there's nothing this crew can't reimagine for themselves.

Seems about right coming from the party that quickly switched from personal responsibility to zero responsibility.

Stefanik - she was supposedly a “moderate” Republican but she sold her soul to Trump. She doesn’t care about policy, only about power. Not the kind of people we should want in government, IMHO.

The stories from the Capitol Police are heartbreaking; it pisses me off that lies from the likes of Stefank are making the news instead.

Jan. 6 insurrection hearing opens as police detail violence: ‘This is how I’m going to die’

A committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection opened its first hearing Tuesday with a focus on the law enforcement officers who were attacked and beaten.

Shame on every single Republican who is attacking the Capitol Police. I hope they know that their refusal to back the cops will be in the back of the mind of every single officer when the day comes that they have to pick which office to protect. The person who supported you? Or the one who doesn’t care that you almost died that day and called the attackers “tourists”???

Her voting record is pretty much aligned with socialist extremist Ilhan Omar, but you know, why should that be taken into consideration when your entire platform is worshipping Trump.
