Congress Wants Answers......

Post by jackspratt » May 29, 2021, 10:19 am

........ or at least, part of it does.

Republican Senators have voted against forming an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate the events around the January 6 insurrection at the US Congress.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/28/poli ... index.html

There can be only one reason for this - they are afraid of the embarrassment and political fallout that the truth may/probably would reveal, and its implications for the Cult Leader and his GOP sycophants.



(Thanks Rico).

Just goes tpo show 44 senators ( as I understand it ) look after themselves before even considering the wider implications to the country as whole . A group selfish people who could not care less about the country or for that matter even the Police Force that is there to ensure their safety. I hope karma catches up with them

This must go down as one of the most cynical decisions that has ever come out of the US system. I will not call it a democratic (small d) system, it is unbelievable that a developed nation would even contemplate voting for a party that has no morals, yet from a country that loudly portrays itself as a Christian nation. Yet that party has tens of millions of supporters.

Zero ethics, zero morality. The kind of thing that would be expected in some nations (no names, no pack drill), yet from a nation that claims world leadership.

Whistles, you are probably as confused as I am that our forum conservatives, and Trumplets, haven't been rushing forward to defend this cynical (great word) decision by those 44 craven Republican senators.

No confusion here. It does take time for a brainless bot to hoover up enough links from the "hair-on-fire" conservative internet toilet bowls to copy/paste their opinions here.

Either that or nobody will say a dickie bird until their 'special one' has passed a comment. They'll have to hold on though. Right now he's busy passing something else.

Nothing to add then giggley - not even a justification for the cop-out by the craven senators. :-s

They already know the truth, they were there. ALL of them, even the ones who now claim that these were peaceful protesters, ran and hid and barricaded themselves in rooms.

Actually the vote was 54 to 35 with 11 voting present, including two Democrats. Not quite understanding that. I'm guessing Mitch McConnell owes a lot of these senators "favors" in the future.

not to worry.. Pelosi has already said she may form a Special Committee in the House to investigate the 6 January fiasco. So, we can expect to see the media slavering over the committee's investigations and interrogations.. I'm sure Adam Schiff would volunteer to chair it...

Everyone in the world knows what happened, an independent investigation is not going to change that. People already have their minds made up on which side of the fence they are on with this issue, no new information is going to come out to change anyone's mind one way or another. The 400+ people who have been arrested so far are providing all the information that is needed.

Without knowing the details of what Pelosi is proposing, there doesn't seem to be much point in another investigation, unless it can be widely accepted as bipartisan and independent.

Which of course is what the craven GOP senators have just rejected.
