Support for Capital Riot probe falls now that Americans see what it actually is!

Support for Jan. 6 Capitol riot probe slips after cops’ emotional testimony: poll 

An emotional hearing this week in which police officers attacked in the Capitol riot testified before a House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6 turned more Americans against the need for the probe, according to a Morning Consult poll.
Among voters of all parties, 53 percent supported the investigation, down from 66 percent in the survey in June and 58 percent just a week ago. Four out of five Democrats were in favor, while only a quarter of Republicans were, along with half of independents.
Only 49 percent of those polled said they had watched all or even part of the committee hearing that dominated the news cycle on Tuesday.

Meanwhile less than half of Americans are paying any attention at all.  

According to the July 28-29 survey, less than half of voters (49 percent) said they tuned in to at least some of the hearing live, with 1 in 10 saying they watched it in full. Three in 5 Democrats said they caught at least part of the 3.5-hour session live, while 39 percent of Republicans said the same.

Oh, and less people now blame Trump as well.  

The survey found that 56 percent of voters said the 45th president is at least somewhat responsible for the mob of his supporters who stormed the Capitol, down 5 points since a survey conducted last month. Those trends indicate that unless the panel, which is armed with subpoena power, is able to unearth some new information about Trump’s conduct as it relates to Jan. 6, perceptions of his culpability for the riot have likely already hit their high-water mark.

This is what is called "backfiring". The Democrats truly felt that putting up a partisan liberal, Trump hating, anti-White racist black cop to demand that he had been called names was somehow going to help. But obviously it didn't. They thought it would make people more anti-Trump and more anti-GOP. But less people now blame Trump and the GOP while more people blame Biden and the Democrats for the Capital riots.

Imagine.  34% of Americans now actually put some blame on Pelosi and Democrats for the riots, while 29% now think Joe Biden is at least partially responsible. Not sure this is what they had in mind when they set this whole thing up. But it serves them right. Karma!

Law and order matters when a white police officer kneels down on a drug addicted black man.

Speaker Pelosi and her colleagues should stop indulging the idea that they can get congressional Republicans to behave reasonably. They must ignore them, get on with the business of both making an accurate record of the events of Jan. 6, and identifying clearly who was responsible for one of the most tragic days in all of American history.

Many Republican supporters of former President Trump in the House and Senate now have fully embraced his brand of shameless lying. Their lies about Jan. 6 are, as Dan P. McAdams Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University notes, the kind that are "so obvious that they blindly

They now insist - despite extensive evidence to the contrary - that the mob that invaded the Capitol did not breach the House floor. Some have also attempted to deny reality and turn the violent insurrectionists into victims and martyrs.

At the time some Republicans were making outrageously inaccurate statements, more than 440 people already had been charged with serious crimes for participating in the attack. The number charged now exceeds 500. Many of them have ties to right-wing extremist groups. We should also recall that five people died in events related to the attack.

This denialism has gained traction with Trump's Republican base. In a poll taken last month, 47 percent of Republican voters said that "legitimate protest" was an "appropriate term for the U.S. Capitol incident on Jan. 6," while "39 percent of independents and just 13 percent of Democrats" said the same. 

A CBS poll taken this month found that 55 percent of Trump voters believe that the insurrectionists were simply defending freedom; 51 percent call them "patriots."

These views - and what Congressional Republicans are now saying about Jan. 6 - show that too many Republicans are capable, as Alice remarked about Wonderland, of believing "as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

That's why there is nothing the House Select Committee will be able to do, or to find, that will persuade most Republicans that they should believe what we all saw on Jan. 6.

Democrats need to understand this, ignore diversionary tactics, and get on with the serious and important business of making a record on which history can judge what transpired. They should keep their eyes firmly fixed on doing all that is necessary to aid what former Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson once called "the moral judgments of history."

๐ŸทLife with out Bacon??? Socialist are on the March in Effeminate Rogers Californicated.

Bacon under attack.

"DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the coronavirus pandemic.

That makes it all the more frustrating that she fears her breakfast-focused diner could be ruined within months by new rules that could make one of her top menu items — bacon — hard to get in California.

“Our number one seller is bacon, eggs and hash browns,” said Kim, who for 15 years has run SAMS American Eatery on the city’s busy Market Street. “It could be devastating for us.”

At the beginning of next year, California will begin enforcing an animal welfare proposition approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 that requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves. National veal and egg producers are optimistic they can meet the new standards, but only 4% of hog operations now comply with the new rules. Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows non-compliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa, and pork producers will face higher costs to regain a key market."

So the fact that this fiasco is going badly is due to Republicans, huh?

I think the fact that they only invited two Republicans who are both Trump hater is already proof that they have "ignored" the GOP as it pertains to this theatre. If this was a serious probe that this person suggests, then you wouldn't be wasting time with "emotional testimony" designed to do what exactly? Whatever it was, it didn't work.


This guy is like every liberal. They already have made up their mind what happened and who is to blame. They just want some form of official manner to push it out there to convince people that their predisposed opinions are right. Yet, the polling suggests that they are doing the opposite so far. In fact, Pelosi and gang have now convinced over a third of the country that "they" (Congressional Democrats) now hold responsibility as well.



Now Rog... Why don't you just ignore this logic and call me a racist. Seems to be your go-to move these days.

• Muslims don’t belong in government.

• 9/11 was an inside job.

• Shootings at Parkland, Sandy Hook, and Las Vegas were staged.

• “Zionist supremacists” are secretly masterminding Muslim immigration to Europe in a scheme to outbreed white people.

You've literally never proven any of your allegations about Trump, going all the way back to the Russian collusion lie.

So should we discount EVERYTHING you say about Trump because it is not "proven"?



As I have stated multiple times - I don't know one way or the other if Dunn was a victim of "racial slurs". He might be telling the truth, he might be lying.
Most skeptics are pointing to the fact that there was supposedly hours of body cam and other video evidence of that day... and nobody from this particular committee is wanting to show them..

But at the end of the day his testimony is 100% completely irrelevant to what this committee was supposed to be investigating. It was pure 100% political theatre. But based on his twitter feed and watching his testimony after the fact. I find him a person with very little credibility.

Sorry... that's what you get if you are a troll on line throwing around slurs agaist other races and then get up and tell everyone that you were the victim of what you do to people every day.

A National Embarrassment. An Unadulterated Farce. The January 6th Committee Makes A Mockery Of America.

sample:

‘The Worst Attack EVER!’
The narrative has suggested that January 6th was “the worst attack” on the United States since, like, ever. The moderate position appears to be that it was the worst attack since my people (the British) burned the White House down. And yet, anyone with even a cursory knowledge of American history would righty guffaw at such claims. Hell, anyone with a functioning memory should be able to see through the pantomimish postulation.

Consider 1954, when four armed Puerto Ricans took positions in the gallery overlooking the chamber of the House of Representatives and opened fire. They wounded five Members of Congress: two Republicans and three Democrats. It was a pretty heinous attack. Of course Jimmy Carter commuted the terrorists’ life sentences later on.

At the center of their revisionism is Babbitt, their martyr, whose fatal attempt to leap through a door that led to the House chamber — captured in graphic detail on video — they describe as a heroic act of patriotism.
“An innocent, wonderful, incredible woman, a military woman,” Trump said during an appearance on Fox News. At a Florida rally July 4, he called her shooting “a terrible thing” and said “there was no reason for it.”
Just before she was shot, Babbitt was among a group of rioters bashing in the glass-paneled doors that led to the Speaker’s Lobby, down the hall from the House chamber, where lawmakers were being evacuated.
“There’s a gun! There’s a gun!” someone shouted when an officer, on the other side of the doors, aimed his weapon in the direction of the mob.
Despite the warning, someone appeared to hoist Babbitt up so she could step through an opening in the door created after its glass panels were shattered. A bullet struck her and she fell back on the floor.
Prosecutors determined it was reasonable for the officer to believe he was firing in self-defense or to protect members evacuating the House chamber.

The Godfather Presidency lollipop
Donald Trump promised to give away his presidential salary while in office.
The Washington Post was unable to account for his salary for his final 6 months.
Trump had become increasingly bitter about not receiving praise for donating his earnings.
See more stories on Insider's business page .
It is unclear what Donald Trump did with his salary from his last 6 months in office, which he promised to donate, according to The Washington Post.

While in office Donald Trump pledged to give away all of his $400,000 annual presidential salary. For the first three and a half of his presidency, he donated the money to federal agencies.

The Washington Post said it surveyed all major federal agencies and none reported receiving anything from Trump after a gift in July 2020.

The paper said it could not account for the the last $220,000 of his salary.

During the campaign trail in 2015 Donald Trump said that he would not accept a presidential salary if elected. The Constitution does not allow a president to forgo a salary, so Trump chose to donate his earnings to federal agencies instead.

While in office he donated $100,000 quarterly payments to federal departments such as the Department of Veterans and the Department of Health and Human Services.

His last known gift was to the National Park Service on July 23, 2020, according to government documents.

Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold said that Trump had become increasingly bitter about not getting praise for donating his salary.

Commander-in-Thief Biden said...

President Trump donated at least $1.4 million of the $1.6 million he earned as president to various federal agencies. Still in question, however, are the donations for the third and fourth quarters of 2020. Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com verified fourteen of sixteen quarterly donations over four years.....

Q2: $100,000 to the NPS in July 2020 to help pay for repairs on national monuments. “I promised YOU I would not take a dime of salary as your President,” Trump tweeted. “I donate the entire $400,000! It is my honor to give $100,000 to @NatlParkService to help repair and restore our GREAT National Monuments. So important to our American History! Thank You!!

then he got kicked off twitter so who knows

so worse case he gave $1.4 million of his $1.6 million in salary

what a bitter old man you became alky

Did you praise him previously for being so charitable?

Did you criticize the Bidens for not being so charitable?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The top advisers stopped him from deploying troops across the border.

Trump entertained the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which would let him deploy troops across the country to quell any civil disorder or insurrection, but Milley and Esper continued to fight against the idea.

On June 1, Trump had grown angrier over the press coverage of the protests, urging governors and law enforcement to "dominate" the nationwide unrest. In response to the murder of George Floyd Floyd that drove Scott crazy

"How do you think this looks to hostile countries?" Trump said, according to the book. "They see we can't even control our own capital city and the space around the White House!"

After once again calling for troops, Esper said that the National Guard remained the best option to stop any unrest, but the president proceeded to slam on the Resolute Desk and told the Defense secretary that he wasn't done enough to solve the problem, according to the book.

Trump sought to make Milley the leader of an operation to restore order, but after the general reiterated that he wasn't in an operational role, the president lost it.


"You're all fucked up," Trump said, according to the book. "Every one of you is fucked up."

Trump then looked at Vice President Mike Pence, who had been a quiet observer, and directed his ire toward his No. 2.

"Including you!" the president said, according to the book. He called the Vice President Pence a fucking loser.

The Party of Reagan is dead.


Our democratic process gives politicians enormous leeway to make choices that harm democracy: they can pass voter suppression laws; remain in office amid a prostitution scandal; or attempt to cover up an armed anti-government insurrection. But just because officials can do all these things doesn’t mean they should. And it is far from guaranteed that American democracy will survive if they do.

Republicans, particularly Washington Republicans, like to tell themselves that they remain the party of Ronald Reagan - of small government, lower regulation, and faith in the individual. But it’s time for voters and politicians alike to acknowledge the new reality of American politics: the disagreement between the parties is no longer over how best to promote the general welfare; it’s over whether promoting the general welfare is worth doing at all. The Republican Party’s fall from goodness, its devolution from a party that extolled personal responsibility and accountability to a party that extols reckless disregard for one’s fellow Americans, is one of the most important trends shaping the country.

And as we’re too often reminded these days, reversing that trend is a matter of life and death.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...
