The vote in the House over whether to create a “January 6th Commission” has ended. The bill passed, which is expected given who runs the chamber. What wasn’t as expected (or perhaps it was?) is that 35 Republicans joined hands with their Democrat colleagues, agreeing to walk headlong into a partisan buzzsaw.
This per The Daily Caller.
The House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday that would create a bipartisan, 9/11-style commission into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with dozens of Republicans joining Democrats in a rebuke of GOP leadership.
The bill passed 252 to 175 with support from 35 Republicans, even though top GOP leaders opposed it and

The RNC needs to do a better job of vetting their candidates. The RINOs will be the death of the party. This is just another Pelosi witch hunt.

I am so happy I am an independent MAGA Patriot.
I really don’t know how you Republicans sleep at night. GOP- Gutless Old Pathetic
Fighting the New war the same way you fought the last war is why we lost in 2020. And even when you win with Republicans you still lose. Why? Because they are Gutless, Old and Pathetic.
We should have formed a new party when we had the momentum. Now you have nothing left in your arsenal but Fox News and some bs plan to primary Rinos.
Good luck with that!

Yeah, bipartisan. That's the ticket. No partisans here. Only leftist, rabid demoncrats and never-Trump Rinos. No a dimes worth of difference between them.

Anyone who would agree to join the democrats in any endeavor has shown his/her true colors. The democrats will run the show and use these fools as a means to call this farce bi-partisan. Democrats want to label this an “insurrection” and these pathetic republicans will help make that happen. You can have no legitimate inquiry when democrat participate. They are not honest participants but are a group of determined liars who have an agenda and that is to rewrite what actually happened and blame President Trump for it all. The lack of courage in the Republican Party is why we are in the shape we are today. Democrats have stolen the election and placed radicals in positions that are key to pushing their radical agenda forward. The suffering is just beginning for the American people and these 35 turncoats continue to aid and abet this lawless illegitimate administration and no doubt feel good about their vote on this sham. Democrats fear one thing, Donald J. Trump, and bRepublicans just handed them another weapon to use against him. If they cannot see that the country flourished under President Trump’s leadership, they are lying to themselves. To willingly aid and abet the party that is actively destroying in every way the country we love is treason. Let’s call it what it is.

The RINOs need to get the hell out of the GOP and form their own party.
They got to Tony Gonzales right away, only months after being sworn in. Time for his primary opponent to re-egage.
Most of the people voted against President Trump when there was really no evidence to impeach him because people's feelings were hurt and there was no real evidence

Most of these are classic RINOs, but the real ringleaders or Judas Goats are Cheney and Kinzinger. We need to do more than just not vote for them, we need to actively support and help campaign for their primary opponents. It's incredible how openly hostile they are and how they do everything they can to damage Trump and Trump supporters.

McCarthy has zero control of his conference, yet wants to be Speaker. We cannot primary these people for another year. This treason needs to be addressed now, by stripping all of them of any responsibilities in the Republican Party, censuring them, and stripping any party funding from them. They should not be allowed to use the name Republican on any of their correspondence, web pages, or in any other way. The Republican Party is so weak they cannot even adopt a terms of service. Probably because the Party has no lawyers. The Republican Party needs to be audited. They collect hundreds of millions, and we see nothing for any of it.

This Vote should be the END of their careers in Congress. Thanks to #4 we now have NAMES. We need to get busy and Primary each and every one of them. If they don't already have someone running against them, we need to find a REAL Republican to step up. We need to FUND them. We need Trump to hold a Rally for that Candidate. We have time to do all of this. There won't be any point to winning the House in 2022 if we leave these Turncoats in Office! Liz found out we mean business and now we need to prove it by firing each and every one of those who haven't yet figured out the Democrats are using them! Didn't realize we have so many Blue Republicans in Office, but they just keep showing their True Colors!

I looked up the one name from my state. Read his bio. Young, rich and new to the House. Placed on a prominent Finance Committee. Started out with a Conservative stance and voting pattern. Then in December 2020, he voted against Pelosi (Texas vs Pennsylvania election fraud lawsuit) and was publicly reprimanded by Madame Speaker. She got to him...and others. Welcome to the Big Leagues, kid.

I feel a knife in my back again. Damn backstabbing Republicans.
Don't doubt for a second these Republicans are really big government Democrats.
What does a Democrat do if they want to run for office in a heavily Republican district? They run as a Republican, and tailor their message accordingly. Nevermind their message isn't a reflection of how they would actually govern. Then they hope Republicans will blindly vote along party lines, ignore their voting records, and keep them in office. We need them for a Republican majority we are constantly told. They really need to be given the bum's rush.
One thought I've had is Republicans need to approach those Democrats that are dissatisfied with the hard left turn their party has taken, and persuade them to vote Republican. That becomes impossible to do when the Republican candidate is nothing more than a lighter shade of Democrat. You cannot make a persuasive argument to get that Democrat to change their vote to Republican when both candidates are largely the same.

I may get blasted but here is my opinion. Don't we want the election audited? Aren't we getting frustrated that the Democrats are trying to put up roadblocks? I don't want to be a hypocrite - let me be clear with that fact. I really think there should be an investigation into what took place on January 6 especially after seeing the video where the police were letting the protestors in. It is my understanding the Republicans wanted more police coverage on that day but were turned down. The truth always reveals itself and maybe it will surface during this investigation.

These Republicans need to be replaced. All were reached with a cash deposit and fake promises. Money talks.
This makes McCarthy look like a horse's behind.
This is the why Pelosi is the Speaker. She keeps her people on a short leash. Many Republican Representatives (not all) are stupid, but most Democrats are brainless vessels. You rarely hear them break rank and oppose an issue, or go against the grain. They are programed to the party line and march in locked step for doing so. For that Pelosi will give each of them their treat, like you would with when training an pet. (I was going to say dog, however as a dog lover I couldn't put dog and Pelosi in the same sentence.)

the ironic thing about congressional "investigations" is that the results usually end of in the round file and to never see the light of day, again. these people are so full of themselves it's sickening, we need a term limits law that is enacted/enforced and not just made passed as window dressing.

I've no problem with such a commission, so long as Republicans are on it. Doing so might allow some questions to be asked in public, such as, "How can the riot have started before Trump's speech was over? What kind of Trump-fans, having a rare chance to hear him in person, leave a speech by their President before it's over?" and "Also, how quickly can the crowd of attendees cover that distance of over a mile at a brisk walk?" and "What kind of Republican hits a policeman with a flag???"

How disgusting. With the help of Liz Cheney's rino pubbies, the dims and msm change their group think narrative from covid19 to insurrection. Now that the covid con is no longer convenient. And now the pubbies cave again agreeing to this commission scam. What are the odds that David Bailey, the black capitol police guy who killed Ashli Babbitt will be identified by the commission and referred for prosecution? Zero.
Next up? The NY deep state gestapo and Herr Veissmann prepare to indict President Trump for something one week ahead of his June MAGA rallies. A political hit job designed to complicate his life and make it much more difficult for him to run for re-election in 2024. The left and the msm are sickening.

Thanks for the list #4. I'm keeping it for future use. I had also decided many months ago not to give a penny to the NRC, NRCC, or NRSC, only to specific candidates that will hopefully primary these democrats with an R next to their names.

I think it is interesting, to say the least, to read the list of the republi-crats. Some were recognizable names-- no surprise there , i.e. Cheney, Kinzinger, Upton.
But to see Miller-Meeks there, voting with the party that wanted to oust her from her Congressional seat AFTER she was already seated was a bridge too far for me.
My thought immediately after I saw her name: What was she paid and or promised?
Hypocrisy: Thy name is Marianette or . . . or is it marionette?

The specter of Trump and his cryptkicking Deplorables must be eliminated...period. It's bad for UNIPARTY business. The REPUBLICANS are simply joining the UNIPARTY partner Democrats as they exhume the corpus to pound another wooden stake through its heart and fire a few more silver bullets into what they think is the corpse. Problem is that they are the ones really keeping this thing alive, and like COVIDS, people are tiring while they are seeing and fearing inflation among other ills.

You could get an idea of what went on by watching TV. It actually started at the Capitol while Trump was still talking. It's obvious the Cap Cops were unprepared for the people. You saw them them opening doors for the protesters, and then mostly just following them around. I didn't see much destruction, but I guess there was some. It looked like most of the people inside were walking around like tourists. Some took some license to sit in some of the politicians seats (Heaven Forbid!). What I don't know about it is..... why the Cops were unprepared? Was it because Trump supporters were know to be polite and not trouble makers? We haven't been told if antifa or BLM were in the crowd. Why not? We haven't been told who shot Ashli Babbitt. Why? A definition of insurrection is a 'violent overthrow of a government.' This was no insurrection, by any stretch. The stupid dems always overplay their hand.

The dems know how to win now - they just stole an election. Until someone can control the voting methods, the dems will win along with the RINOs. That makes them bipartisan. Now I can see why societies last about 250 yrs - corruption. Look at Hunter with his kickbacks to "the big guy". As corrupt as one can get yet they're still looking into President Trump. That corruption is just the tip of the iceberg. I have absolutely no respect for our gov't at this time his history - throw in the FBI, CIA and IRS also.
