I certainly agree, The Weekend has become must-see-TV Rhiannon12866 Sep 10 #2
Moskowitz nailed the real reason... to actually continue what Jan 6 started. To rile the base again. ancianita Sep 10 #3
I sure hope so, it's long past time that we took back our government and this may be our only chance Rhiannon12866 Sep 10 #4

Luv Swalwell: "There's many stories told about Jan 6 but there's only one version of the truth... either you back the blue or you back the coup."

Like these trump toadies could even have the mental capacity to rationalize why over 600 witnesses (out of 1,000 witnesses interviewed) were themselves Republicans! pffffft.
If Johnson doesn't refuse to seat these three, they'll be the most badass shredders of these fabricators of their alternative reality. If Johnson refuses, then the fakers will have to contend with Jamie Raskin, who will at every single hearing proceed to eat their lunch.

What I don't understand is why they're going to re-investigate January 6th. There were Republicans on the select committee, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who both failed to be re-elected along with 8 out of 10 Republican House members who voted yes on impeachment. And the thing is most of those who testified were Republicans. The results are in, what do they hope to accomplish at this late date?? Another Republican waste of time and money.

I believe him. This isn't about distraction or wasting time. This is the Big Lie redux, only this time, a national voter suppression in advance of the election, to scare any non-white citizens from voting, and just stay home. Remember the "minders" near voting places in 2020? With ICE it will be that on steroids.
OTOH, so far, given the special election turnouts, it just might have the opposite effect.
