Ordinarily I would chalk your comment up to comment section puffery/wishful thinking, but you sir have established cred about these things, and I suspect you are right. The GOP response to this effort seems really weirdly fishy, even by their own usual base standards. They usually like to at least participate in some kabuki, if only to have the ability to gum up the works. Something strange is going on with their flailing to scuttle this commission.
It is true, he's not even Cobra Commander, that guy was an incompetent imbecile, but he surrounded himself with competent people* (Destro, The Baronness, Dr. Mindbender) and didn't berate them. Trump is more of a Skeletor. An incompentent boob who surrounds himself with incompetent boobs.
*To the extent that even in the cartoon show and the comics, Destro, Baroness, et. al., were like, "oh my god, this f'g guy"
Well whatever. The X-Men have had to ally with Magneto now and then. Just need to keep our eyes open about this guy. He's a snake, but he's currently useful.
Want to see my surprised face? Moscow Mitch does nothing unless it's to his political benefit. And there is no way investigating how a bunch of MAGA cultists shit in the halls of Congress benefits him.
The newest excuse for NOT having a Jan. 6 commission is this--the Repubs "don't want to re-litigate the election." WTF? That's all Trump fans are doing across the entire country!
so I'm planning a second invasion of the capitol, but this time it will be different, the first wave will be massage therapists. they will ask every capitol cop if they would like a foot massage as thanks for risking their lives and getting beat up to save the lives of AOC and nancy pelosi. then after about 30 minutes, they'll tell the capitol cops, "so the next wave is coming now, it's a combination of antifa, the black panthers and MS-13 that are coming for moscow mitch, ted cruz and josh hawley (with votes). do you want me to stop rubbing your feet so you can go fight them off to save those assholes?"
I hope you're right, because this is my impression, too.
There is also a lot of chatter about how the feds were avidly watching the chatter from these lowmen touristas before and after Jan Sixx. Some of them for weeks before and months afterwards, before the FBI moved in and arrested.
The GQP could've handed over MTG, Gaetz, Hawley, Hawthorne, and Boebert, light-weights all, and tut-tutted and acted all upset and confused.
But no. They had to listen to Teflon Donnybrook. He thinks these mouth-breathers are the party's future.
I just bet Gaetz is willing to sing right about now. My money is on Boebert as the next patsy. Chris Miller will provide the 'before' filler. Kash Patel will be in the barrel fairly soon, too.
Billy Low Barr is already talking: too many leaks coming out of the DoJ these days, and all high up stuff, like Nunes cover-up, or how he bravely stopped Dumpty firing Wray. The unsealed indictments on a pay-for-pardon grand jury. Very sus.
You should long read Donnybrook's close and long time affiliation with Russian mobsters.
There is a ton out there.
All you need to do is get these GQP pols by the short hairs through kompremat, or by threatening their wife and kiddies. It's amazing what you can get rich power-hungry and morally corrupt people to do with the right incentives.

Waste of a perfectly good rocket.
I learned from one of the best there ever was, and I call it like I see it.
It's become, 'Fuck you, we got ours and we want yours too.'

Trying to stay sober but this seems like a really really good afternoon.

Voting IN FAVOR of the commission:
David McKinley, R-1st District, West Virginia. My congressman. Soon to be not my congressman, I'm supposing.
MMcC must wear asbestos Underoos because those pants are ablaze indubitably.

Also too, they don't want a commission finding out nasties about Trump and Co in the run up to the midterms! That would be icky.

Is it a trap when you dig the latrine hole your own self, and then fall in?
