Manchin and Sinema begging Republicans to work with them. Work with them? Democrats already gave everything the Republicans wanted and they still reneged. I wonder if Nancy just 3D chessed those pricks knowing they would back out? If Republicans filibuster, it could bring ending it to a head.
Manchin, Sinema's plea to Senate Republicans on Jan. 6 Commission: 'Work with us' (msn.com)

In the end, there will be no commission, but this is the one silver lining. It's making those two look like total idiots. I mean, what does it say when we can't even get a bipartisan commission to investigate a violent insurrection against Congress itself past a GOP filibuster? It would seem to be a no-brainer, eh?

They can just keep on pleading away. It's amusing to watch. It's like they were born yesterday.

Romney on board

In all honesty... Romney should switch parties if he gets elected in 2022, to keep Democrats as the majority.
* He voted to impeach Trump twice.
* He claimed that telling people the election was stolen does not increase voter turnout for support.
* He disagrees with the wacky views of MTG.
* He did say minimum wage should be increased, although not to $15.
* Now he says he would vote in favor of the January 6th commission bill.

Kamala?


Plus, the next "Trump" may not be "Trump" but he will certainly be smarter, more cunning and not blabber the secret part out loud as much as "Trump." did.


Would someone who is a Democrat version of Trump that does Democrat things, win the election?

None of that is really enough to make him a Democrat though... just shows the teensiest fucking modicum of decency and spine.

Probably something along the following lines...

"There are poor people who can't pay fees to get back their lost documentation proving legal US Citizenship. Disabled people in wheel chairs forced to go 50 or 100 miles to vote. Government officials making unproven claims of a stolen election via mail-in ballots, and I said WE NEED TO PASS H.R.1 !". <- Sort of a twist to Trump's statement which was, "Drugs are pouring in. Criminals, murderers, and money going in and out of our country thru the borders, and I said WE NEED TO BUILD A WALL! "

"CNN, MSNBC, ABC, The New York Times, Associated Press, are all real news organizations and I love them. OANN is fake news, I do not want to see them in the press conference. "

Dems never learn. Just Bengazi it just like the Pubs did. Bipartisanship died years ago. Fuck them!
Exactly, all numb-nuts Manchin has to do is look at how Mitch handled things when he had the majority, approving a SOTUS nominee with THREE WEEKS before a POTUS election, three. friggin. weeks.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Sanders would abuse power like the orange monkey. But in 2016, never followed him and only after Hillary lost, yeah thought Dems should have picked him. But seeing him during 2020 campaign, no he would have lost in 2016 and 2020. The Dems just can't lean that far left and win.

This post could be used in a Doctoral Thesis on false equivalencies.

None of that is policy though.

No. Sadly, begging won't work either.

Mother of deceased Capitol Police officer presses GOP senators to back Jan. 6 commission - POLITICO

Gladys Sicknick is seeking sit-downs with every single Senate GOP office on Thursday to emphasize “the importance” of establishing an independent body to investigate the deadly insurrection, according to a copy of one of the scheduling request emails obtained by POLITICO. Brian Sicknick died a day following his response to the Jan. 6 attack after suffering from a stroke.

“Not having a January 6 Commission to look into exactly what occurred is a slap in the faces of all the officers who did their jobs that day,” Gladys Sicknick said in a statement provided to POLITICO. “I suggest that all Congressmen and Senators who are against this Bill visit my son’s grave in Arlington National Cemetery and, while there, think about what their hurtful decisions will do to those officers who will be there for them going forward.”

Apparently the house can run an investigation solo. Didn't know that. So a plan B is available. Pelosi could still make it bipartisan, even.

Yes, the infamous Benghazi committee was a house select committee. Democrats constantly fall for this trap where they think the public cares about procedure or cares about the Republicans being outed as hypocrites. They don’t. The Democrats should just make the committee they think is right and be done with it.

This doesn’t mean that they should operate it as a dishonest farce like the Benghazi committee was. They should just look to create a fair and accurate understanding of what happened.

Mitch asking colleagues to stonewall commission as a favor to him.

I'm not sure there's a better indicator of the shit storm that would ensue than Mitch asking a favor.

They can't afford for this to be bi-partisan, and Mitch knows it. They'd be forced to tell the truth instead of all the shit they've been trying to spread.

Turns out the Senate GOP caucus is more concerned with displaying fealty to Trump than they are to truth or justice.

No one could have seen this coming. No one.

(Six GOP senators vote for cloture. All present Dems did. 11 Senators missed the vote.)
