Speaker Pelosi’s dream of relitigating the January 6th Capitol riots until the mid-term elections is over. The U.S. Senate just delivered a back-breaking rejection of the “independent” commission that was hand-selected by Nancy Pelosi.
“A crucial Senate vote on a bill to create an independent inquiry to investigate the deadly January 6 Capitol Hill riot failed Friday, falling short of the 10 Republican votes needed to advance and illustrating GOP efforts to move on from the insurrection that left five people dead and injured 140 police officers,” CNN reported.
“The vote was 54 to 35, showing the bill had a bipartisan majority of support with six Republicans voting with Democrats. However, the bill needed 60 votes to advance,” the report noted.
This gives me a scintilla of hope!
With Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) breaking ranks and siding with the Democrats.
What a surprise...
Don’t use the date as an identifier.
Using the date as a name is strong persuasion tool, in the Left’s favor.
Emphasize it was a “mostly peaceful protest”.
Yes, and the spineless lousy doctor that Louisianans voted into office, Senator Cassidy, voted FOR THE BILL!!!
Remind me how the Russian collusion witch hunt investigations advanced . . . and went on and on for three years.
Excellent
Now who are the 6 Republican backstabbers who were stupid & gullible enough to fall for this bogus sham?
Without even looking - Romney, Collins and Murk, obviously ... plus Cassidy ...

Different sauce. I NEVER add LA Times as one of my ingredients.
No Clicky for LA Times.
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 need to be driven from the GOP. Never, ever let these people take a public stage without booing the off the stage. Abuse, ridicule, and destroy their characters. Get in their faces. Give them no quarter. Make their entire lives an abject hell on earth.
😂🙌 Different ‘sauce’. I like it.
Thank you God!
You say “stupid and gullible” - I say “collaborators.”

Honestly this is the right decision. But only because the Democrats wanted it.
What needs to happen now is for Republicans to demand a 1/6 commission. We really need a congressional committee to find out who killed Ashli Babbitt and find out to what degree did antifa and the FBI collaborate to stage and set up this so-called Insurrection. Additionally a Republican led commission could find out how many hundreds of political prisoners are still being held as a result of the Capitol “riot”.
Honestly? I support a 1/6 commission. For all the right reasons.
So, now they move on to a partisan investigation instead. There should be no investigation, whether partisan or not.
140 officers injured? Does that include anyone with a band aid?
Will Nancy do it on her own ?
I would expect no less from Murkowski.. Romney.. the whole crew. Are they so stupid that they don’t realize the purpose of this mock trial is to destroy American patriots?
I seldom associate the word integrity with any politician, but we are reaching new lows.
Trump is still not a politician.
