It is not a hearing. At a hearing, dissent is permitted. The other side can speak. Evidence is presented. Evidence is not censored or deceptively edited. Our media is more like China or North Korea everyday.                           

1. I hope the cop that murdered Ashley Babbitt is finally charged with her murder.
2. Politicians who were advised additonal police and National Guard were needed but failed to act are charged.
3. Set bail for those still being held with no bail since Jan 6 2021.
4. I hope everyone who commited a crime that day is charged and tried.

There are people being held in jail who have been denied bail and the right to a speedy trial since Jan 6th. Look at their charges, most are simple mister meaners. America now has political prisoners just like some 3rd world country. The real coup is coming Nov 22.

Did you watch the Brett Kavanaugh hearings? They came pretty damn close. Also, have we forgotten the entire year of 2020 when federal court houses were under siege by rioters across the country? Or may 29th, 2020 when the historic St. John's church was set on fire just outside of the White House? Or how about the 15+ pro life pregnancy centers across the country that have been fired bombed since the RvW Supreme Court leak?

I'm not trying to pull a gotcha on you, I just think the media memory holes a lot of things and emphasizes other things.

Kinda like the Southern boarder, right? :cheers https://time.com/6133336/jan-6-capitol-riot-arrests-sentences/ (https://time.com/6133336/jan-6-capitol-riot-arrests-sentences/) "More than 840 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. But 17 months after the attempted insurrection, a significant number of rioters are still awaiting their sentencing.
Only around a quarter of those arrested—185 individuals—have received criminal sentences, while the rest are waiting for their trials or haven't yet reached plea agreements. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, 80 defendants were sentenced to periods of incarceration, with longer prison terms for those who engaged in violence or threats. So far, the median prison sentence for the Jan. 6 rioters is 45 days. An additional 57 rioters have been sentenced to periods of home detention, while most sentences have included fines, community service and probation for low-level offenses like illegally parading or demonstrating in the Capitol, which is a misdemeanor." I have no issue with people being charged and tried, but not everyone there that day was there to overthrow the government.

I'm sick of the tit for tat, or equal footing talk. 

There is one standard, and it is called equal protection under the law, also known as the 14th amendment. The law is the fucking law, and it applies to all. If one breaks it, then there is a penalty. It is a very simple and effective concept.

If anyone of the George Floyd rioters vandalized property, they should be arrested.  They are not social justice warriors, but violators of others rights.  If capital rioters broke shit and the law, arrest their asses as well. Vandalism is intimidation, and intimidation is illegal.  See Civil Rights Conspiracy Statute 241.

Liz Cheney is doing the right thing.  She is upholding a standard which makes it strong.  If people diminish a standard, it is at our own peril. 

Those on the left who are fixated on imposing the woke moral order on people will get their comeuppance in due time.  It is called getting voted out of office.  The next task will stripping power and influence way from Blackrock.  That will be a bit more challenging. Turn off the TV, and quit buying....

I agree, one standard for everyone. Ever wonder how and why the 2 republicans that do sit on the committed got there? Both are going to need all of the money they will recieve for their cooperation. I'm fairly certain both are dead politically. Keep fixating on this, nothing else is going on in American. Don't look at your 401K, buy groceries, or fill up your tank today. :o  :P  b';

I was disappointed that the rioters were looking to hang pence. With many of comrade trumpsky's disciples expressing the notion that the donald was sent by god to serve, and considering pence a fallen apostle, I just felt that crucifixion would have been much more symbolic for the event.

The Floyd riots, the Charlottesville revolution, and all other gatherings if rules and regulations are broken are unacceptable.  But looting a 711 or storming the streets of a university town carrying tiki torches does not compare to 6 Jan.  And anyone that makes a comparison or notes a similarity is a fucking idiot.

Unraveling 6 Jan and assuring it never happens again indeed should take precedence over gas and grocery prices, and 401Ks.  Particularly with this aging group of anglers.  Face it, we have a few decades remaining if we're lucky.  If given the choice, I'd take democracy longevity over growing investments or the low price of goods.

Yes, you are correct.  The George Floyd riot damage is estimated at 1-2 billion dollars.  Capitol riots, 1.5-2.5 million.  Portions of Seattle were occupied for weeks by armed goons.

Food for thought.  If law enforcement would have been responsive in places like Seattle and Portland, Trump and his armed goon squads probably wouldn't have pulled this stunt.  Trump has a clear track record of exploiting weakness.

The DOJ and the FBI need new leadership. An early morning raid by the FBI on an ex president's home is just further escalation of the political warfare that's taking place in America. It's really little more than an attempt to deflect all the attention from the Biden crime family train wreck in progress. Release the affidavit and lets see the evidence. The idea of some top secret nuclear secrets being given away are laughable. The average person has no idea how difficult it would be for the launch by a rouge individual of a nuclear weapon. My neighbor thinks Trump was selling nuclear secrets to the aliens.

More likely that most established folk consider him to be a national security vulnerability.

I dont doubt that, but you don't think Biden isn't a threat to our national security? Our standing in the world has taken a real hit with Biden's obvious weakness.

So Trump belongs on the short bus, but sadly, he was the first POTUS to really recognize our diminished ability to produce goods domestically was a national security issue. Not only is it a huge national security issue in terms of external threats, but an internal existential threat. If a short busser can figure this out, then the establishment folk are really dumb.

Trump is a boorish ass, but the only things I really fault him for is his BS, insurrection, and drunk sailor spending which overheated the economy/stock market, which resulted in inflation.

I think Carter is a fine man, but he performed poorly as POTUS.  George W is also good man, but soiled himself by committing crimes against humanity by invading Iraq. In terms of intelligence, the George HW and James Baker demonstrated brilliance not seen since.
