I was not especially in favor of Trump running again but the Jan 6 committee jackholes are really making me rethink that

With great gravitas Rep. Benedict Kinzinger sent out this tweet today

We the people must demand more of our politicians and ourselves. Oaths matter. Character matters. Truth matters. If we do not renew our faith and commitment to these principles, this great experiment of ours, our shining beacon on a hill, will not endure. pic.twitter.com/uexdc0Inwv

Truth matters. Oaths matter. Character matters.

Bullsh*t matters too, Kinzinger.

This thing began as sh*t show right from the outset when, for the first time in the country's history, Pelosi denied Republicans the right to choose their members of a committee. Brett Hume remarked

"I’ve covered Washington for more than 50 years, including 11 years covering Congress specifically. I’ve never seen a committee all of whose members were chosen by one party, and where there is no cross-examination or any attempt to present both sides,"
It was one sided and it was dishonest, and it was deceitful. Chairman Bennie Thompson made absolutely certain that this was to be a lynching. He invoked slavery in his opening remarks. Then he declared Nancy Pelosi "off limits", which immediately raised the specter of her culpability in the Jan 6 events.

It was so bad that even a CNN legal analyst called it out

“A prosecutor has to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, the standard for a member of Congress saying it’s a crime is they feel like saying it’s a crime,” Elie Honig, a senior legal analyst and former prosecutor said on CNN’s “New Day” Friday morning. “Also important to keep in mind last night’s presentation was bipartisan, yes, but one-sided. There was no push back, there was no cross-examination.”
It gets much worse. They lied:

CLAIM: President Donald Trump failed to stop rioters who were “savagely beating and killing law enforcement officers.” VERDICT: FALSE. While some rioters attacked police, they did not kill any; the only person killed was a fellow rioter.

Remember that "Trump grabbed the steering wheel" story? Another lie
January 6 Committee Downgrades Secret Service Story from Seizing the Wheel to ‘Heated Discussion’
The committee said witnesses are never corroborated. The committee had witnesses testify in secret so they could frame the testimony to suit them. The lack of opposition, the lack of questioning from the media allows them to throw out as much excrement on the wall as they want, hoping much of it sticks.

They altered evidence

The Jan. 6 committee admitted that it changed a text message between former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan, excluding relevant context about how they wanted then-Vice President Mike Pence to handle electoral votes.
They omitted exculpatory evidence
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who featured prominently in the Democrats’ first January 6 hearing Thursday night, read a tweet during the hearing from former President Donald Trump but omitted the final sentences where he told protesters to “go home with love and in peace.”
They omitted a letter from DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declining the National Guard.

Extraordinary omission by @nytimes of this Jan. 5 letter from Muriel Bowser rejecting any deployment of the national guard to protect Capitol. Nor any mention of Pelosi and McConnell’s roles in denying Capitol Police chief Steve Sund’s repeated requests over 2 days for backup. https://t.co/NoLgseEN2o pic.twitter.com/BPmXCbKecx

They omitted not just some words, but entire actions:

Kinzinger is a fraud. He ran as a Tea Party member in 2010.

Dr John, if you pay attention, the Left will make you do a lot of rethinking.

At some point, the light bulbs may actually turn on and you’ll see that the 80%+ unconstitutional federal government is greatest threat in existence to your freedoms, livelihood, and well being.

Agree. When DeSantis runs in 2028, I want him to have an indisputable history of being the GOAT Florida governor. (IOW, I hope he DOESN’T go for VP in 2024).

“A Show Trial is a public trial in which the judicial authorities have already determined the guilt or innocence of the defendant. The actual trial has as its only goal the presentation of both the accusation and the verdict to the public so they will serve as both an impressive example and a warning to other would-be dissidents or transgressors.”

Common sense would dictate that there's a very big reason why the career politicians we want out of office are terrified of PDJT. That alone should make any fence sitter get off the fence.

Do you think the media would treat DeSantis or any other America first candidate any differently?

While a couple of individuals have been successful, as a movement there’s been no greater disappointment than the tea party. AOC’s Squad has been far more effective as a political change agent than the tea party ever was...

If a member of the Squad changed parties and swore loyalty to Trump, you’d have a comparable situation to what Kinzinger has done. Not only has he betrayed his party and the promises that got him elected but he is now actively working for the enemy (Democrat party). The name “Benedict Kinzinger” is perfect!

I know enough about his situation to know he needs a job, a nice cushy high paying one preferably, and that’s what this is all about - a job interview for when he leaves congress.

I'd say worse as their tactics are getting more extreme and violent.

Doctor John, if you needed the J6 farce to help you see the true worth of President Trump as a great American patriot you really weren’t very much of a patriot yourself.

So now you “might” like Trump. Big deal - get lost.

President Trump’s only problem is that America is extremely unlikely to elect a president in his late 70’s after the Biden fiasco. At that age no one can guarantee how many years of sharp mentality are left.

“On the evening of January 5—the night before a white supremacist mob stormed Capitol Hill in a siege that would leave five dead”

Not only should he get lost, he should be wearing a clown face too. The author is a promoter of the Big Lie! The only person killed during the riots was a Trump supporter shot in cold blood. Justice turned a blind eye and allowed the murderer to go free (because he promotes a Dem narrative).
