Larry asked why I supported Pelosi's appointment of GOP Reps to the 1-6 Committee.
This is part of why, though only a part:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/25/politics/republicans-mccarthy-kinzinger-cheney-january-6-committee/index.html
Internal turmoil for the GOP is a good thing.
Turmoil because people are putting party over country and demonstrating that practice in an amazingly public way is all the better.
Cheney and Kinzinger are now pols without a party and will get primaried hard in '22 by zealots of the conspiratorial and crazy right.
I've no idea if either survives the nasty and dirty politics they will face.
But they have a platform to showcase independence and approached 1/6 in a non-partisan manner.
For the Dems this is not about R-internal politics and power plays in the kitchen, that cake was already baked in Mar A Lago.
this is about marketing and PR to the few non-crazy, non-Qs, moderate Repubs left and independent voters, who were distressed by the conspiratorial nuts who wanted to overthrow democracy, and who may be swing voters in '22.
The 1/6 Commission will be painted as a partisan hit job by Team McCarthy. If Nancy can market it as a bi-partisan effort to get to the truth, she has a better chance of impressing independent voters and perhaps keeping the fascists from running the show in '22.
And pound the shit out of them with her gavel for a few more years.
Regardless the make up of the panel the Republicans will scream to high heaven its findings and results are, “rigged, unfair-unbalanced and just another partisan witch hunt.”
“Impeachment 3.0”
Pelosi is a BOSS.
IF the Senate ever gets its shit together and passes the agenda to save the nation and the future the GOP would not win another election.
The Republicans are funded by ultra wealthy nihilists who desire total absolute power and don’t give a flying fuck about anyone in a red hat.
Pelosi is the boss.
She was elected by her colleagues for the job.
and BFD what the Repubs scream about.
Fuck them and the Panzers they rode in on.
If she can put forth a non-partisan panel to be as transparent as possible to help Americans understand the facts and dangers of 1/6 and if demonstrated by the evidence heard and seen of the complicity of the the nut-wing conspiratorial right in the events of 1/6 , who the fuck cares what their 1st cousins the House Repubs, cry about.
Its about marketing at this point. And trying to retain the House in '22 and longer.
She''ll be portrayed as a partisan cocksucker by the other partisan cocksuckers actually sucking Trump's cock.
I could care less about what she does in her down time as long as she can help Biden and the Dems pass needed legislation.
