‘A Republican Party Enthralled By Lies’: Joy On The GOP & Insurrection

Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney is not backing down from her fight to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the insurrection on 1/6. Joy says, “these republicans are too scared to even face that simple question and so inured to this big lie, which shouldn't be surprising given the fecklessness of their so-called party's ‘leader.’”

    1. Anyone who believes that Trump worked with Russia to steal the 2016 election should be charged with treason.

    2. @espy – are you denying the finding in the Muller report?
      Here’s a direct quote for you from page 1 of the Muller report continuing on to page 2.
      “Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

      How about you take a break from the news and read the actual documents instead of regurgitating what people tell you to think?

    3. @espy – Got anything to say about the Muller report quote?
      You going to pretend this conversation never happened instead of admitting you were wrong?
      Maybe you’ll grow up and surprise me.

  1. “Until Republicans return to reality and become responsible, they should not be trusted with power again.”
    That’s been obvious for some time, the same warning others like me have been advocating, but it’s good that Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney is amplifying that message. More Americans need to understand this.

    1. @Nancy Ross Clearly Democrats destroyed the country. Highest covid death rate, highest crime, riots, murderers, all in Blue states. And the red states had to bail out Blue states. How pathetic. Media and Dems greenlighted all the violence and destruction. Gas lit the stupid. 40 people dead. How does it feel? How does it feel to be a burden on the nation? Dems can’t run a city, can’t run a state, and certainly can’t run a nation. Trump delivered 3 vaccines and sound distribution. Biden just needed to get Blue states to open up and you would have a roaring economy. Unbelievably, he actually has made things worse. Just like Carter.

    2. @Crimdor Never heard that. Did you make that up?
      Statistics say GOP science did much better than DNC. Maybe it was common sense? Maybe GOP is smarter? Maybe GOP are critical thinkers? Blue states had a higher covid death rate than Red states and Red states didn’t need to destroy their economy. Basically, the media lied, CDC lied, and all those that listened, died. Just sad.

    3. @Robert Genson – You don’t need a mask if you’ve been vaccinated unless you are questioning the efficacy of vaccines.
      Didn’t you hear what Biden had to say today?

    4. @Ryan Clarke – I was saying that republicans where correct to question mask wearing after people have been vaccinated.

  2. Yup! Just your regular tour of the Capitol. Nothing to see here, now about Dr. Seuss being cancelled?

  3. Republicans have had lots and lots of practice gaslighting and revising history. Pretty soon, they’re going to make the GOP disappear!

  4. The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

    George Orwell, 1984

    1. @MrSnicker14 tell that to Briana Taylor, George Floyd,
      Ahmud Arbery…..
      And no, as for Baby Turner
      Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead,” the Republican governor said. “This lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city.”
      So who to trust, the governor or a right wing troll

    2. @MrSnicker14 Anyone who cites the far-right conspiracy theory generator Project Veritas cannot be taken seriously.

  5. As horrible the whole situation is… sad , I have to laugh at ” puppet Kevin ” 🤣😂

  6. WHY WOULD LIZ CHENEY BACK DOWN SINCE SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE & IF SHE DID SHE DOESN’T CARE SO KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON SPEAKIN’ THAT TRUTH LIZ!!💯💪

    1. Wouldn’t it be crazy if she ran for President? I wouldn’t vote for her because in the end she is a Cheney but at least their would be some integrity on the Republican ballot.

    2. Cheney is a liar just like Joy Reid. Democrats are the KKK Party — afterall, democrats FOUNDED the KKK to try & murder the first 12 black republicans in congress!! Get YOUR FACTS !!

    3. @JOMPANY POLITICS the kkk was formed by former confederate officers to terrorize freed slaves. Get YOUR facts straight.

  7. McCarthy’s going to have to speak eventually Underoath because there is going to be an investigation commissioned into the Insurrection on January 6th and his butt is going to be fried! I couldn’t be happier!

    1. He’ll just lie – situation normal for republican politicians. Maybe he’ll get caught in a lie and nothing will happen if so – situation normal for most politicians (especially republicans).

  8. There should be a petition asking for integrity form elected officials and criminal penalties for those who knowingly lie to the piblic,

  9. They see Trump getting away with thousands of lies so they think it will work for them as well. They are just the cowards that follow the bully.

  10. I have Conservative values, but I’m also a social libertarian. I have never been a Democrat, but I’m no longer ever going to be a Republican. I wish more would take this path, but i can’t live in that party anymore. I keep looking at Liz Cheney and the others, they need to change their affiliations, put the Republican party on notice with a string of Independents that stand on principle.

  11. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

    1. Believe me he’s the best when it comes to Cryptocurrency trading, your profit is assured.

  12. They live in reality, the reality that the cult they built will physically come after them if they betray Trump.
