You won’t have the opportunity, but we appreciate your support. if it makes you feel any better, I’d vote for Manchin. :mrgreen:
I'd make that trade - I hope her daddy rots in hell but she is definetly presidential timber, agree with her positions or not
I don't get that. I'm not even sure what her positions are, I haven't followed closely enough, but she has all the charisma and stage presence of a brick wall. She's dull every time she speaks. Granted, she may be right on the money, but it's hard to be a leader, let alone a President, if you can't bring a little charisma into it.

Really? Because every swing state had massive vote dumps for Biden between 2:00 and 4:30 a.m…..how could they have known it was over by 11:30? :dunce: :dunce:
If you were watching the hearings you could have had your question answered by the first-hand accounts of the people who were right there in the White House. :coffee:

She has more, and larger, balls than the rest of her Party collectively. :thumb:

She voted with Trump pretty much down the line. :ohno:

She has enough respect for the Constitution to stand up to a guy wiping his ass, an ass that would take two trips to haul, with the Constitution while every single member of her party save a few exceptions you can count on one hand, hides under their desk waiting for the shooter to open up with his full-auto savage pie hole . :thumb:

When the chips were down, way down, she put her oath to the Constituion ahead of her loyalty to a scumbag criminal President. She knew it would cost her the softest gig available in these United States outside of being a banker, but she did it. These days that puts one head and shoulders above the whore-mongers and child molseters that comprise 90% of the Republican Party. :thumb:

Who are those guys? Did any of them take part in the violence at the Capitol the following day? Did they share any of the photos from this tour with those that did partake in violence the following day? Those photos are of the Congressional offices, that's a separate building from the Capitol. Is there evidence they were going to attack those buildings too? There's apparently no evidence they ever toured the Capitol Building itself, correct (I think the Capitol police verified that yesterday)?

Maybe these guys are guilty as sin, maybe they're not, just asking the questions.

Fair questions. Here are some answers regarding at least one of the guys on the tour.

According to the select committee, Loudermilk led an hours-long tour for approximately 10 people around the Rayburn, Cannon and Longworth House office buildings, as well as the tunnels leading from Rayburn and Longworth to the Capitol building itself.

“Individuals on the tour photographed and recorded areas of the complex not typically of interest to tourists,” the panel’s chairman, Bennie Thompson, wrote in the letter to Loudermilk. “The January 5, 2021 tour raises concerns about their activity and intent.”

It also cast doubt on Loudermilk’s previous denials that he led a tour connected in any way to January 6. Loudermilk first denied he led a tour, then said he gave a tour only to families with young children, then said he gave a tour to about 16 people.…..

Citing additional video clips obtained in its investigation, the panel said the man that took a photograph of a staircase in Longworth, located next to a hallway leading to one of the tunnels, joined the march to the Capitol and threatened members of Congress.

“There’s no escape Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler,” the man said as the Capitol was being breached, the video shows. “They’re coming in, coming in like white on rice for Pelosi, Nadler, even you, AOC. We’re coming to take you out and pull you out by your hairs.”

The select committee had previously requested voluntary cooperation from Loudermilk last month, which he flatly refused as he denied any wrongdoing. The latest request came with screenshots of the tour group taking photos of secure areas inserted in the letter.

I wonder if he sought a Presidential pardon like the other GOP congressmen?

That former SCOTUS clerk also clerked for the conservative judge who’s now giving tortured testimony to the constitutional gravity of what was attempted by that former clerk and Trump. The same former clerk who was messaging Thomas’s wife.

The adjectives you were using made me think that you hadn't. ;)

That said, I do not lend much credence in personal testimony unless it is backed up concrete evidence. I also give people that are testifying plenty of leeway as being on the stand or deposed can make the most stalwart person shake in their boots.

Fair question but those under oath in this and who are providing commentary have. FWIW, my observations pale in comparison to many lifelong conservative/Republican commentators regarding what’s happening.
