  1. “This is crazy and we should just resist this.” Absolutely, we’ll resist the crazy alright!

    1. @John I. With all the lunatics in this country Acosta will have a lot of work for many years to come.

    2. @Derek L Biden‘s approval now in average 53%, Trump‘s approval at the same point 39%. Any questions?

  2. I’m confused…if Gomert, Greene, and other Republicans wanted those answers, shouldn’t they have agreed to the commission? Just curious.

    1. @A B 100% correct. Can’t point out the hypocrisy and double standard enough. They justify every action they take and demonize the other side at a hit of the same. We all see it. But they project and say we are the ones that are doing what theatre doing daily on a multiple scale. Effing joke.

    2. @Regulatory Affairs Sounds about right. We saw left wing extremism the entire year burning down police stations and court houses but no one in the media will call it that. Only right wing extremism gets called out.

  3. Aren’t these the same people who voted against investigating the events surrounding Jan 6??? Maybe it’s time to bring it to another vote? I wonder how many of them would vote for an investigation now. I’ll bet none of them would. They just want to spread BS.

    1. CNN & NSNBC don’t investigate the border crisis with all the drugs and illegals. Of course not. It’s not a crisis they say. Americans are responsible for taking care of all the world’s destitute, even if they are liars just looking for a better life. Jump the line, no problem say the Democrats. We need your vote if we are generous enough to allow you in.

    2. Dems are mad about Jan 6 only because THEIR House was invaded. So Pelosi put a wall around it. Six months worth of arson, looting and destruction of property? Democrats didn’t lift a finger, in fact, bailed out the criminals. It was justified because a 2 bit criminal, George Floyd was killed and deserved a gold coffin. Jan 6th? Small potatoes compared to that.

    3. Jan 5= DNC denies help in the face of credible threats. Capitol Police Chief Captain Uganda = Winnie Mandela petrol tire necklacing ANC racist.

  4. What this should say is The USA has a lot of “mental” health issue with their coward Congress and House.

  5. If these people claim things like the FBI organized the riots, why did Republicans vote against a commission to investigate the insurrection?

    1. Attempting to protect their “dear leader” and of course keeping Donald’s followers filled with hate for Democracy. It’s a shame that justice takes a long time in this country, but I believe it will come.

    2. @John B I think you’ve missed the point here…There are plenty of discussions about Black Lives Matters out there. The joke here was that BLM also stands for Bureau of Land Management which is one of the agency Louie Gohmert askekd if they were capable of changing the moon and the earth’s orbit in order to solve climate change……I’m sure you’ll find a lot of people to debate about Black Lives Matter everywhere…….I think that for once we should focus on what comes out of people like Louie Gohmert’s mouth………..Seriously…

    3. Oh they would have voted for it as long as every riot where police officers have been attacked were included – and amazingly the Democrats didn’t want that…. too close to home for comfort.

    4. @John B I think that the point that a lot of people are making is that Antifa is more or a philosophy (I refuse to say that not agreeing with “Antifa’s tactics” makes you pro fascism. I don’t think that a lot of self describe Antifa “rioters” would believe such a thing.)…….I think that mainly, the point is that, “Antifa” seems to be more of a very large umbrella covering different politics and philosophies with some elements in common. What seems to be absent from “Antifa” as far as I can tell, is an organized/hierarchic organization. There doesn’t seem to be an Antifa Grand Leader and Antifa Chapter Leader or that sort of stuff………..First time I ran into “antifa people” was about 15 years ago…..basically they had a “peaceful demonstration” against police brutality and they spent the night taunting the police to arrest them in ways that would provide excellent photos showing police brutality……..”Cops didn’t go for it and I applaud them for it.

      Unless “Antifa” has evolved into a well oiled machine/a serious hierarchic organization, it’s just going to stay the boogey man that right wingers are going to blame for everything. At some point, it’d be nice to try and do some good all together instead of looking for reasons (Sometimes fictitious ones) to divide us even more. We all want to feel important, we all want to belong, we all want to be on the ‘right side of history’…….We all have so much more in common than we think and we could use common sense to focus on actual common issues…….Anyways, accuse me of saying Kumbaya, I still think the world would get better if we helped each other and try to be kinder to one another.

  6. Donald Trump has gone full Don Quixote, in fact maybe that’s what the “Q” in Qanon really stands for, Quixote! The evidence is all there 1) Don = Donald 2) Quixote = Q 3) Donald Trump hates windmills.
    Qanon, I solved the puzzle for you.

  7. I am so glad to hear these people being called out on their insanity. This needs to be done daily, just as often as this BS comes out. These people are going to tear this country apart.

  8. Definitely a number of “citizens” here more pro russia than America unfortunately…and they dare to wrap themselves in the American flag and called themselves patriots…Nuts!

    1. @Rod No, we saw a Russian sleeper for four years in the White House. It is so blatantly obvious that only the dumbest can’t see it.

  9. Vladimir Putin would have ‘disappeared’ the 400 people had they objected in Red Square against his election—all of which have had their results best described as foregone conclusions.

  10. The “Crack Pot Caucus”. They would rather pursue false narratives than vote to create the commission that would ACTUALLY investigate The Capitol Riot.

    1. @Bill Rodriguez self hating Hispanic being racist to other people of color. They will never accept you clown.

    2. that is all cnn does make up false narratives. they live in the moment and dont care the truth comes out later. they kept the russian collusion lie for 4 years.

  11. So, Carlson says he has the source to back it up. “The source” says: it suggests that possibility in the third name.. What a “character” this Carlson guy is.. Maestro for his old viewers. Car salesman !!

  12. Republicans: maybe it was antifa, maybe it was the FBI
    Democrats: let’s investigate
    Republicans: no

    1. @Tommy Thompson that video shows no storming of the United States Capital or the White House

      figure it out

    2. @Harriet HonakerArt Whataboutism is a Nazi thing. Not hard to learn history, except the Qanonsense people. They obviously can’t learn anything.

    3. @Harriet HonakerArt Hmmmm…..could that be because of the fence and cops in front. What the difference between that and Jan 6, 2021? No where in the definition of insurrection does it say “if you make it through the cops or barricades” IT”S THEN AN INSURRECTION”. Seems like you’re the one that has a few things to figure out. Either that or perhaps it has to do with race.

  13. *This reminds me of when the Nazis in 1930s Germany burned down the Reichstag and blamed the left to eventually grab power in a coup. Greetings from Germany..*

    1. @Tommy Thompson democrats aren’t socialist even though y’all keep trying to throw that jacket on our back.

  14. “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.

    The constant lies, denials, deceits, delusions, gaslighting, dog-whistles, crackpot conspiracy theories, projectionism, Whataboutism, bogus victimhood, and hypocrisy of Republicans is disgusting and alarming. The Republican cult has poisoned itself with its own propaganda, choosing to live in a dystopian fascist Orwellian fantasy world. The Republican cult has been radicalized to such extent that it poses a clear and present danger to our society, our democracy, and our country.

    “Call this civic barbarism. Instead of promoting the values of responsible citizenship, Trump, Republican leadership, and their media enablers have elevated and blessed the very worst among us. They are making many Americans less suited for self-government and more dangerous to their neighbors. And they are doing so for the reason some of the Founders most feared: To lead the mob against true democracy.”
    ~ Michael Gerson, from _’Trumpism is American Fascism’_

  15. It was “law abiding citizens who were frustrated about the system, patriots”
    It was ANTIFA disguised as Trump supporters
    It was ordinary tourists taking pictures
    It was the FBI

  16. There absolutely were federal members of Congress and the senate that were involved in organizing Jan 6 insurrection

  17. Tucker Carlson’s voice always sounds like puberty failed for him. So sad as he seems to have no balls.

  18. They gave up the right to “accuse” others since they voted NO for an investigation. They don’t want FACTS coming out they want propaganda rights.

    1. THEY WANT. THE VIOLENCE OF JAN. 6TH. TO. BE LEGALLY MINIMIZED TO. MISDEMEANOR TRUST PASSING.REPUBLICANS ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY. A BUNCH OF COWARDLY HYPOCRITS

  19. Carlson does ” entertainment” on fux news, huh? Exactly what form of entertainment is that considered??
    Entertainment for lunatics?
