Here’s the questions I’d ask the idiot democrat group:

1. On March 1, 1954 Puerto Rican separatists opened fire from the gallery of the House of Representatives and shot five congressmen.

2. On March 1, 1971, the Weather Underground set off a bomb in the Capitol

3. January 6

Please organize in order of significance

They are desperate to get people to buy their dopey narrative about the January 6th protests. The percentage of people who buy the "insurrection" fable will remain forever at the 35% they get to believe anything.

$50 Fillups have been back.

I'd like to know where you're getting gas. Filling up my 20 gallon tank at $3.47/gal is way more than $50.

I guess I missed making my point.

It’s awesome that he’s had those two on.

He had Cruz on the other night. At any point did he ask the former Solicitor General for Texas to justify why Murderers, Rapists, and Robbers can get a bond, while someone charged with “trespassing in the Capitol” is not? At any point, did he point how odd it was for Cruz to use the term “terrorists” for US citizens that were at the Capitol on Jan 6th, while that very same term is used for those at Guantanamo Bay.

Have any politicians, other than Greene, Biggs, Gaetz and Gohmert gone to the DC jail and asked about the “terrorists”?

All I hear/read is folks like Jordan talking about the illegitimacy of the hearings, while never mentioning anything about the people in the DC jail.

"Margie Omero, and I weren’t expecting these participants (and others who followed suit) to bring up the Capitol attack right away"

I wasn't expecting this either. I hadn't realized this was weighing heavily on the minds of random people.

The Reps have been MIA when it comes to the J6 prisoners. They are afraid that they will be called insurrectionists. Shameful.

The moderator of the Democratic focus group, Margie Omero, and I weren’t expecting these participants (and others who followed suit) to bring up the Capitol attack right away, given all the news and challenges of 2021.
"I had no idea that months of 24-7 emphasis by the DNC's shills in the media would have that kind of impact," she added.

So the media runs wall to wall “it’s the anniversary of the worst thing to happen to our nation since the civil war!” stories for a week. Then poll people on what was a big thing that happened last year. And they are “surprised” that a bunch said Jan 6. Sure, got it.

The most urgent and important threat to freedom: ........**corrupt** elections!

The most non-urgent but important threat to freedom:......**corrupt** K-12 and university indoctrination.

But...I absolutely agree with you the narrative for the the past year is the economy and inflation. I hope we are not going back to the days of 15% mortgages and odd and even days at the gas pumps.

I use “p” for “Ping to read later”. The article then shows up in my ping list.

“In Washington right now its $3.99/gallon for 89 octane, and I have a 40 gallon tank. So its roughly $160 for a fill up...”

Oh... I would take it on a pretty good guess that the author of this piece is probably a Prius owner and operator.

“The price of everything going up, and we’re back to $50 fill-ups.”

I can only wish!

You’re right. What concerns real people are

1) prices for food and fuel,

2) bare shelves, not being able to find things they want in supermarkets and stores,

3) personal safety from rising crime

4) their kids education and emotional well being being adversely affected by lockdowns.

When the pukes of the left attempt to term Jan 6 as an “insurrection,” I tell them this:

“What happened on Jan 6 was at most an act of trespassing. Had that been an ‘insurrection’ as you claim, it would’ve been a massive event by many tens of thousands, it would’ve been heavily armed, and most important, it would’ve been successful … so get over your drama-queen selves.”
