House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Thursday that House Republicans will investigate the disbanded House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson hit President Biden in a post on the social platform X for awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), both of whom were Jan. 6 committee members.
Responding to another post from the New York Post about Cheney and Thompson, the Louisiana Republican said the president is foolishly giving an award to members of Congress who intentionally and repeatedly lied to the American people.
The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump, Johnson added. They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time.
Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress, he continued.

(121 posts)You are saying what I have been thinking for a very long time. Kneel and kiss the ring my ass.
well, they have the kneeling right, but they are not kissing a ring, they are not behind him. They
are getting a full frontal while paying lip service via a spit shine on the emperor's scepter. They
do not have the ability to do to themselves what they do to their Emperor. They are eunuchs,
whether arrived at that state on their own or by other means I do not know, But I suspect the
Emperor does not mind giving them a little massage a time or two. I mean you can do it when
when you are an Emperor. After which he rewards them by taking to his personal trophy room
where they can gaze upon their missing manhood as well as their spines.

(11,588 posts)I can't remember which, would travel the world during daddy's occupation of the White House, at taxpayers expense, with SS escort killing anything and every thing he could for his trophy room. I thought at the time about all the males I knew who had trophy rooms and how each of them showed massive insecurities about their masculinity..........and constantly fondling (cleaning) their massive inventory of guns. I would call them out for their TWPC...........Teenie Weenie Peenie Complex........
At any rate SOS, you were balls on dead accurate in your comments re: these spineless/dickless Republican Politicians....

(121 posts)otherwise, you cannot function. But it is nothing new. My father took care of the you do not
understand because times have changed long before I ever asked the question. I do not
remember all of it, but he just looked at me and said the old becomes new again and again
and again. It is the same problem coming with a different look in a different package. I do not
see any peaceful solutions with any of them because of the game they are playing, heads I win,
tails you lose. I take the high road, I am weak. I take the low road; they play the victim. Just like
the computer in War Games, the only winning move is not play. That is when the old becomes
new again by changing the look and drawing us back in the game. The only way forward is to
make them play our game, but I cannot come up with one that put us on a good path. For the
longest time since Asshole decided to play his man card to prove his alpha dominance over Obama,
I have had a several Pink Floyd songs pop in my head. The number 1) Dogs of War, (2) In the Flesh,
(3) Run Like Hell and then our state of being, Comfortably Numb.
Well, I certainly hope you have great day, I have a bunch of DIY work I have to take care before a cold
snap hits. For a little humor

(51,831 posts)should bring along props. Lots and lots of photos of the "normal, tourist visit" and maybe a few broken relics from the day. As I recall, a Democratic Congressman was seen helping Capitol workers clean the mess up and probably kept an artifact from the day. Maybe they could display some medical bills from Fanone's treatment for a heart attack after being tased or Gonell's bills from the multiple surgeries he required which also cost him his career.

(11,588 posts)during his prior "occupation" of the white house, reminded me more of Orwell's ANIMAL FARM, than 1984..............
If I was a Billionaire at that time, I would have bought a couple of hundred Million copies, and mailed a copy to every home in America... esp Down South, and in Florida and Texas. There is no way all those people could read/understand/comprehend 1984, but ANIMAL FARM was written at about a third grader level..........
I think Orwell had it right with 1984 with one major exception........He was frightened about Big Government, when in reality, the thing to be frightened of was Big Corporations.......

(189,686 posts)Ive looked into this and the best I can come up with is that its their normal pattern of extrapolating their own voices.
It started with either their idiots not being allowed in the committee which they threw a fit about. Then some in the twittersphere asked Was this so they could destroy evidence? - of what? What everyone saw? - which was picked up as Sone people say they destroyed evidence which then became fact/legend/lore in their world. Now they just say it because its fact to them. If any reporter bothered to ask WHAT EVIDENCE? That would be used as an example of triggering the Libs, media bias, and air time killing chatter and no answer will ever be given.

(13,364 posts)Let's get Cheney, Kinzinger, and the whole parade of Republican witnesses on screen again. Fine with me.
Seriously, though, it would be so stupid for Republicans to do that that it reminds me of the standard, "We're going to take them to court!" head fake Republicans always do. I think they'll make a little mini-production of the investigation into the Jan. 6th committee. It will then disappear from the news. Then, every time Jan. 6th comes up afterward, Republicans will say that "both sides" were investigated by Congress.
