There is a Hungarian saying, tell the truth and your head will be smashed in.
Embracing the left-liberal framing of this issue, right down to using slogans like the big lie isn’t called speaking truth. Kitzinger and Cheney are part of a partisan committee that exists only for the Democrats political benefit that at this point has little to do with January 6th anymore (Less than 10% (!)of the subpoenas sent out by the commission were to people who were actually involved with January 6th) They have done whatever they can to look for fights with other Republicans and are being responded to in kind
One can dislike Trump and at the same time realize that Cheney and Kitzinger and many other opponents of his aren’t good people who are acting out of altruistic motivations or standing up for truth.
Smerel, why in the world would Cheney suddenly embrace the Left-Liberal agenda?!? Are you for real? Stop spewing the lunatic Trump propaganda which can not withstand the smallest scrutiny.
Cheney should be completely booted out of the party.
@mdd1
Are YOU for real? How about you stop spewing the lunatic leftist propaganda which can not withstand the smallest scrutiny!
Because you make absolutely no sense. All you do is call him a liar. For no reason. Because you think liz cheney is a tzadekes? Or even not? Cheney is a RINO, and that’s facts. Just look at what she does and says.
Would you agree that joe manchin is a DINO? I think everybody will agree somewhat.
So Liz cheney is lke that, but in a different party.>>>Smerel, why in the world would Cheney suddenly embrace the Left-Liberal agenda?!? Are you for real? Stop spewing the lunatic Trump propaganda which can not withstand the smallest scrutiny.
You are screaming so loud I can’t hear what you are saying. If you have a specific question or scrutiny on what I said let me know and I’ll respond.
On a personal note as my comment indicted I am anti Trump. However I also realize that his career opponents are frequently lying and frequently doing the wrong thing as well. It is rare to read an article about Trump that is pure honest and straight reporting . And many (most?)of the people who are investigating him are Rodfim. Your emotional response to my comment complete with the standard insults Trump’s opponents tell their followers to believe about anyone who doesn’t blindly and slavishly parrot their party line indicates that you have fallen into their web. The only difference between your comment and the type of comment you would expect from a Trump devotee who believes whatever Trumps says is which side you happen to be on
The January 6th committee will not allow the party that created the United States House Select Committee on Benghazi and wasted 2 years and 3 million dollars on a witch hunt against Hillary Clinton, tell them what it means to stand up for truth.
Anyone who does not want to dig into the depths of the trump administrations legal and political attempts to overthrow the election, are OK with trumps attempt at the destruction of democracy in America. This includes every republican who voted against the commission and includes everyone who espouses the view that the commission is a sham and that it’s 2 republican members are just partisan rino’s
What would Fox news say if the next republican to be elected as POTUS gets treated the same way on their Jan 6th and have the Democrat VP on their own decide that they will anoint the next Democrat as POTUS?
smerel,
I have 2 questions.
1. What else do you call someone who lost and after unsuccessfully trying to prove that he won, continues to claim that he won the election and it was stolen from him ?
The term “big lie” is very pareve. The real terms should be insanity, traitor, mentally ill, demagogue and demented.

The great hero of the Democrats in Georgia , Stacy Adams did the same things and continues to make the same claims. Unlike Trump she has the brains to realize not to endlessly fight a battle she won’t win. But she has acted exactly like him when she still thought it would benefit her
>>>Here is a list of the people subpoenaed. Cross off the one who was not involved in Jan 6th.
None of those people were personally involved in the Capital riots, the ostensible excuse for the January 6th. If you are going to prosecute people for peddling false information and try to get rid of a legally elected president through peddling lies then you can investigate almost Democratic member of congress. They all tried to get rid of Trump through an impeachment trial based on baseless accusation and then tried to do so peddling the Steele Dossier , now universally acknowledged to be a pack of lies. And that was just the start of the Democrats trying to get rid of Trump through false accusation and lies
When the Democrats will investigate how there was an impeachment trial based on so little evidence and start worrying about the precedent of trying to get rid of political opponents through false trials and false accusations then I’ll believe the January 6th commission is even remotely about truth, democracy and integrity in government .
As above let me stress and stress again. I am NOT a Trump supporter. But other than having better temperaments I just don’t see his opponents as being morally better than him or being the good guys and doing the right thing in all the conflicts they have with him
The DNC censured Kristyn Cinema for stepping out of party lines.
The Republicans should devote the energies to blasting Dems and let the primaries choose the candidate.
Reb eliezer,
Either way bored teen has a point in regards to your “There is a Hungarian saying, tell the truth and your head will be smashed in.”
Cinema’s head is being “smashed in” because she’s telling the truth
REbE > Trump is against democracy
Unfortunately, any reasonable critique of Trump will not be heard. After 7 years already of mostly baseless attacks on him, those who believed those stories of Trump tower server beeping directly to Putin’s bankers already believed them, and the rest of us are just numb to the additional stories, especially as it is now seems to be shown that many of them were started by Hillary’s associates and laundered thru several government organizations.
A big picture of accusations of Trump that you would probably agree with: there are no more discussions about Trump’s crime before he was President’ no more about his crimes while he was President; now the only topic is how he handled last 2 weeks before transition. My prediction – soon, this will pass and he will be attacked for channeling Russian donations into his 2024 campaign and that he is planning for 3rd term in 2028.
TS Baum and Smerel, El. Cheney’s views are solidly Republican in the traditional sense. Trump’s are lav davka. Cheney is not a Trump boot-licker, though. That is the whole story
Smerel, one does not need articles or investigators to know what Trump is. He said enough in front of numerous cameras and tweeted enough and did enough things which are officially known from which it is clear what he is.
As Hitlery said during the Benghazi hearings “What difference does it make now?”
The GOP will disappear with Trump in power. I suggest we form a new party called GOP+ which will be minus that demagogue, con-artist, liar, lecher and sore loser.
Circular firing squad. Trump lost (or won, whichever is irrelevant) by a minuscule margin. To win in 2024 he needs more votes, not fewer. The Republicans should be working on fence building and reconciliation, rather than passing a resolution designed to encourage people who would otherwise vote Republican to instead support Joe Biden (or worse) in 2024.
>>>The Republicans should be working on fence building and reconciliation, rather than passing a resolution designed to encourage people who would otherwise vote Republican
There is no way you can reach out to someone who isn’t interested in reaching out to you and the only thing she says to or about you is “I hate you” like Liz Cheney. If she had the exact same viewpoints but also used her media limelight to advance ideas that Republicans care about and speak against Democrats ideas that they oppose she would be in a very different situation.
Unlike the censure of Sinema or the fact that Manchin now needs private security wherever he goes
Cheney wasn’t censured for her political views. She was censured because there is a limit to how much of a fight you can pick with people and expect them to continue to consider you you as one of their own .>>>Smerel, one does not need articles or investigators to know what Trump is.
No idea what you are trying to say with this. As I said I’m no Trump supporter, but I also recognize that a lot of what his opponents say and do is very wrong as well. And as above if you have a specific question on what I said I will respond
Bashing a capital policeman with a fire extinguisher followed by a shpritz of bear spray is an explicitly recognized form of political discourse. The fact that some mindless political hacks masquerading as adults voted for this resolution is perhaps even scarier.
“Bashing a capital policeman with a fire extinguisher”
you are welcome to make your own opinions and speculations and conclusions no matter how absurd, bizarre or wrong they feel to me. But this point was proven to be pure trash a LONG time ago and for you to bring it up as if it was real is really beneath you.
>>>Bashing a capital policeman with a fire extinguisher followed by a shpritz of bear spray is an explicitly recognized form of political discourse
Are you trying to remind us about how the Democrats and media lied to us for WEEKS claiming capital policeman Brian Sicknick was killed by being beaten with fire extinguishers and when that was demonstrated to be a lie they went ahead and lied to us for another few WEEKS claiming he was killed by bear spray until the family and medical examiner report forced them to admit it was all made up?
But those are the truth seekers and truth purveyors who we are supposed to follow about everything else with regard to the capital riots .
