B-Man Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 The Spin on Real Aim of J6 Committee Begins, as Adam Kinzinger Hits the Height of Hot Takes Let’s just be frank here, even if the Democrats will not be. The Jan. 6 Committee has nothing to do with the truth or “justice.” It’s about trying to do all they can to hurt the Republican position before the midterms, and deflect from the horrible results of the policies of Joe Biden and the Democrats. Just as importantly, it’s about doing whatever they can to block out President Donald Trump from ever becoming president again, so they can hold onto their power. They don’t get that the more they throw down on this exercise, the more it antagonizes most of the American people, who are concerned with the here and the now of the struggle the Democrats have made it to deal with the present. But while the Democrats want to paint the Committee as some noble cause, a little bit of the truth about what it’s all about leaked out onto some of the networks on the Sunday shows. Listen as they talk with a Republican who worked for Paul Ryan and John Boehner, Brendan Buck. Oh, he’s current and relevant. Not. He tries to suggest that the purpose isn’t to try to influence the public, but to influence US Attorney General Merrick Garland. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2022/06/19/the-spin-on-real-aim-of-j6-committee-begins-as-adam-kinzinger-hits-the-height-of-hot-takes-n581008

I'm not going to through the many ways they differ its redundant and borderline stupid.

Not only have the people on the right here condemned the violence on J6, as far as I know most have also agreed that the non-violent Capitol selfie taker trespassers should also be charged appropriately. 1

But, but that's different! I didn’t run a simulation, but I did read the tea leaves. Major players in the dem arena raised the concern of election security a year before the election. Sens Warren and Klobuchar are not low level players in the game. To boot, the election came 5 years after the constant drumbeat of Trump being an illegitimate president propped up by Russia. It was a highly effective strategy in spite of the fact that the nebulous claims of collusion were disproven. The only question was which side was making the claim.

Refusing to call it an insurrection is not defending the events of J6. We already know the FBI had informants there on J6. Questioning just how many FBI CHSs were among the crowd on J6 and what role they might have played is also not defending what happened on J6. Questioning why people with no prior criminal record are being held pretrial without bail for 18 months in squalid conditions at the DC jail is also not defending what happened on J6. 1

None of your BS matters. Conald had his goons there for a reason. And don’t forget: voter fraud: "I just want to find eleven thousand seven hundred and eighty votes."

They are consistent though, you have to give them that. One of the additional sad realities of the summer of 2020 was the abject disregard of COVID protocol with massive gatherings across the country, and the spread that surely followed. Tens of thousands of people were coming together week after week--traveling to/from all across the country and bringing the virus home with them. Still, it was hard to find a liberal or a dem in leadership who spoke in favor of common sense, and in reality encouraged the behavior and the spread. So, while huddled in bunkers of their own choosing, supporting shut downs and lockdowns for the masses, they watched in blissful ignorance as the virus spread. 1 1 1

They blatantly encouraged it out in the open. These people are NEVER to be taken seriously again. https://time.com/5848212/doctors-supporting-protests/ Positions like Boyd’s, which are widely shared in the medical community, may strike some people as hypocritical. Why, in the middle of a pandemic, after months of telling people to stay indoors to stop the spread of COVID-19, are doctors encouraging thousands of people to gather? The answer, for many in health care, is simple: Racism is a public-health issue that long predates coronavirus. Without action, they say, it will postdate it, too. 1
