It's insurrection day!

It's insurrection day!
Pelosi took what she admitted was an “unprecedented” step of refusing the appointments made by Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, barring Navy officer and Afghanistan veteran Banks and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, from participation. In a fiery denunciation of Pelosi’s politicization of the committee, McCarthy, R-Calif., publicly announced Banks would lead Republicans’ investigation despite Pelosi blowing up the committee.

It's finally here! This is what the democrats have been promoting - it's the one year anniversary of what they call "the insurrection."  All their political hopes for the future rest on politicizing a single protest. It needs to be memorialized. Maybe they'll bulldoze the Washington Monument and erect a memorial to the cop who shot Ashli Babbitt?

We all know about the Jan 6th partisan committee. That's the one Nancy Pelosi created, defying all norms, to staff it with Trump hating tools. The committee has subpoenaed just about everyone in the Trump administration and his children! The committee has also presented some non-facts as well as withheld some real facts:

"The leading Republican tasked with his party’s investigation into the preparedness and response of the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies to the Capitol riot on January 6 is being blocked by President Joseph Biden’s FBI from gathering information, a new document reveals.

The FBI told Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks it would not provide Republicans the same information provided to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked committee consisting only of Democrat-appointed members.

“We respectfully refer you to the Select Committee regarding issues of access to records and information,” the agency wrote in response to a Republican request for information, referring to the official House panel established by the speaker.

Pelosi took what she admitted was an “unprecedented” step of refusing the appointments made by Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy,  barring  Navy officer and Afghanistan veteran Banks and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, from participation. In a fiery denunciation of Pelosi’s politicization of the committee, McCarthy, R-Calif., publicly announced Banks would lead Republicans’ investigation despite Pelosi blowing up the committee.

On September 3, Banks asked FBI Director Christopher Wray to give Republican lawmakers the same briefing offered to the Democrats on the progress of the agency’s own investigation. Partial findings of the FBI’s independent investigation were leaked to  Reuters  in August, which found “scant evidence” the Capitol riot was “an organized plot to overturn the president election result.” Wray has not responded to the request.

“Pursuant to the rules of the House of Representatives, the minority party in Congress retains the rights to the same information that is provided to the majority party,” Banks wrote in another letter to Wray on Sept. 16, which was also sent to  several other  federal agencies such as the Interior Department. “I ask that you provide me any information that is submitted to the Select Committee.” His requests have been met with radio silence across the Biden administration.
Prominent anti-Trump activists Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill, are both Democrat-appointed members of Pelosi’s Select Committee. Because House rules dictate that ranking members must be appointed by the minority party, Democrat-appointed Cheney serves only as vice-chair. In the case of the House Committee on Jan. 6., Pelosi blocked minority party participation for the first time in House history to pursue a preferred political narrative."

Today we will hear from the president as we did from his currently beleaguered AG. You see democrats want Garland to do more. Donald Trump may run again and right now just about anyone could beat Joe Biden. He better come up with something!

"For months, Garland has faced criticism that the Justice Department has so far only prosecuted the proverbial low-hanging fruit — the members of the violent mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6 — without going after former President Donald Trump and his inner circle.

On the eve of the first anniversary of January 6, Garland met that frustration head-on, legal experts said. Without naming Trump, Garland urged patience and said the Justice Department "remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law — whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy."

"We will follow the facts wherever they lead," Garland said.

I can't wait to hear what the president says. Two days ago he told us that 2020 should be a better year.

Enjoy our new holiday

False Vic. 

BTW, you really should delineate YOUR statements from linked block quotes. I need to know who stated specific bullshit. 

2 statements from Hemingway: 

Oct. 2020

Pelosi took what she admitted was an “unprecedented” step of refusing the appointments made by Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy,  barring  Navy officer and Afghanistan veteran Banks and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, from participation.

Jan. 2022

Pelosi's fatal error, however, was blowing up her own committee by taking what she herself admitted was the "unprecedented" step of removing the Republican ranking member and another top member from it .

Hemingway seems to have decided that ' refusing the appointments'  wasn't enough red meat for her readers so she embellished later Op/Ed stating that Pelosi took the ' step of removing the Republican ' members. 

Hemingway is a hack, using her as a source shows a lack of credibility.

Again, NO. READ the fucking Resolution Vic. It may behoove you to review prior Resolutions that created Select Committees too.

Let's compare apples and apples shall we? 

Under Pelosi:

H.Res.503 - Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

The Speaker shall appoint 13 Members to the Select Committee, 5 of whom shall be appointed after consultation with the minority leader.

Under Boehner:

H.Res.567 - Providing for the Establishment of the Select Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi.

The Speaker shall appoint 12 Members to the Select Committee, five of whom shall be appointed after consultation with the minority leader.

So, minority 'rights' are EXACTLY the same Vic.

You are too funny. It is all or nothing. Pelosi doesn't get to choose who the Republicans sit on the committee. Once she rejected the top two the rest were automatically null and void.

BOTH accepted nominations to the Select Committee and BOTH had the right to reject members that were not appropriate.

There is NO argument for allowing Jordan, a fact witness, to be seated on the Select Committee.

As far as I know Jim Jordan was never in the military.  Not sure where you are getting the idea that he had served, I don't see anything in the article to indicate he had.

January 6, 2021 was actually worse.  The attack came from inside our own borders and was orchestrated by people you support [deleted]  I love my country, flaws and all.  If it means having to listen to you and idiots like Trump and his supporters, so be it.

There are some 9/11 families who are very upset with the comparison and I don't blame them.  I lost two friends in the South Tower on that day.

Jan 6th was a terrible affair and all those who took part in it should be held accountable. But 9/11 had almost 3000 people die.  I have a very hard time thinking that Jan 6th was worse.

It's insanity. It was a riot.  People are going to jail. (For this riot at least, other riots, not so much.)   Democrats had to invent a police officer being murdered (and continue to lie about to this day) to give it some oomph. 

It's not even an entry in the book of worst things that have happened in the US.

The commission had already made up it's mind, without even interviewing the first witness. This has been proven by Pelosi asking for Republican input, then rejecting those that were appointed, and making her own decisions based on the TDS of the republicans there now.

Those on the commission will simply pat themselves on the back for a "job well done", appease their loon leftist base, then probably lose in the next election.

Except Pelosi did NOT reject ALL of those that were appointed. McCarthy chose to revoke the Republican members that Pelosi accepted. Those are FACTS.

Here's the latest on our special holiday:

President Biden   on Thursday forcefully rebuked former   President Trump   in an address marking the anniversary of the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, accusing the former president of spreading a “web of lies” that laid the groundwork for the attack by a mob of Trump supporters one year ago. 

In a lengthy address from Statuary Hall, Biden said that Trump put his own interests over those of the country and directly and forcefully disputed the former president’s false claims that Biden’s election was won with fraudulent votes. 

“The former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. He has done so because he values power over principle, because he sees his own interest as more important than his country’s interest, America’s interest, and because his bruised ego means more to him than our democracy and our Constitution,” Biden said, his voice rising throughout the speech. “He can’t accept he lost.”

In a statement shortly after the address, Trump accused Biden of trying to “deflect the incompetent job he is doing” as president.

Democrats and those in the mainstream media have gone into overdrive to claim the riot at the Capitol building last year was on the same level as the terrorist attacks on 9/11 or when Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

Vice President Kamala Harris began her speech at the Capitol on Thursday by linking all three events.

"Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault. Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars but a place in our collective memory. December 7, 1941. September 11, 2001. And January 6, 2021," Harris said.

CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil compared January 6 to 9/11 during his interview with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

Understandably, those who were first responders on 9/11 or had family members as first responders called out the exaggerations: 

" As someone who was standing inside the North Tower in a hole from a truck bomb on February 26, 1993, and at Ground Zero on September 11th, 2001, delete your account as you haven’t a clue about real vs imagined terrorist acts. Do better & ease off the political kool Aid.". . .Rob O'Donnell.
