Excuse me - the vote was 54 to 35; what happened to the other nine? If six Rs voted for it, that means there were only 48 Ds favoring it, what happened to the other two Ds? Also, there are 50 Rs - what happened to the six Rs not recorded in opposition or in favor??

Naptime? Or they chose to remain non committal to please someone. They can say: “I didn’t vote for it.” Or: “I didn’t vote against it.” Depends on their audience.

Correct. Unfortunately Collins and Romney will be around for 5+

Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Rob Portman of Ohio and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana

The usual reprobates.

Picture of Murkowski looking incredulous and evil shows what someone said about human aging.

The face reacts to years of emotions and after age 40 when more moisture underneath is gone, becomes like a sort of painting.

The lines and wrinkles for worry and caring concern over a child’s illness, loving looks for a spouse and friendling looks and smiles for loved ones or friends show in the face later in life. I think of Joseph Cambpell in his 80s as one.

Scowling, hateful, selfish people end up looking that way, like Murkowski, Jerrold Nadler and Soros.

The real problem with commissions like these are that the Stupid Party appoints RINOs and the RATS appoint firebreathing partisans.

Eager to put the events of that day and former President Trump’s role in it behind them, Republicans blasted the commission proposal as a partisan attempt by Democrats to keep both in the news during next year’s pivotal midterm elections.

It is worse than a partisan attempt.

The "disturbance" on January 6, 2021, took place over a period of six hours, after a peaceful rally by President Donald J. Trump.

Antifa and BLM are rioting and looting this very minute. These terrorist groups have been at it for several years. The destruction of property, take-over of buildings, creation of occupied lawless zones, burning, looting, and rioting have destroyed small businesses, government offices, resulted in deaths, and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

The Democrats and Republicans who support this Soviet show trial commission, are anti American. What is desperately missing is the creation of a Commission to get the truth about Antifa and BLM.

Why are the Democrats so obsessed with a six hour disturbance? What was their role in setting it up? Why did Nancy Pelosi tell the Capital Police to stand down? Who gave the order to open the doors? Why are they ignoring BLM and Antifa?

Why would a single Republican be obsessed with a six hour disturbance? Do they hate Trump so much that it overshadows any common sense and discernment in their bodies? They need to take a time out to reflect on their mental health, and consider resigning and retiring.

If we threw an insurrection it would have succeeded.

Yeah everyone should write those republicans names down. Remind everyone when it’s time to vote. Time to run these politicians out and get some real conservatives in there.
