McCarthy’s House Republicans Will Investigate Capitol Riot Themselves


After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s selection of Jim Banks and Jim Jordan (two 2020 election deniers) to be on the select committee to investigate the January 6 Capitol Hill riot, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy withdrew all his committee nominations and said Republicans will instead run their own separate probe into the matter.

Wow, gotta admit, this McCarthyism phenomenon seems to become more interesting, with each new incarnation.  And hell, while they’re at it, a committee with such stellar credentials as this new McCarthy committee has, shouldn’t just limit itself to investigating the Jan 6th insurrection.  Why, they should also consider investigating other things Americans still want answers to, like whether or not Haley Joel Osment - can really “see dead people?”  Just sayin’! 


Of course, the fact is, we don’t really have to wait in suspense to know how this McCarthy “thing” is gonna turn out.  Spoiler Alert: they’re gonna conclude that the “January 6th insurrection was nothing but Antifa and BLM thugs, invading the Capitol while posing as Trump supporters.”  That is, all except for Ashlee Babbitt, who was the only real Trumper present - and who should be considered just “The Accidental Terrorist.”  Hell, these Republican committee members might even make a really bold move - and declare war on all “domestic tourism.”


Now, because this is really not an actual, sanctioned congressional hearing, where will they hold it?  I don’t believe they can use the Capitol building.  Hey, perhaps they could book that Four Seasons Landscaping joint again?  Seems like that’d be the perfect venue.  The truth is, Kevin McCarthy’s committee may inspire others to do the same.  I mean, if Trumpers like McCarthy can investigate their own insurrection, then why shouldn’t Al-Qaeda form their own 9/11 Commission?  Hell, it only seems fair.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis:   Scientists meeting this week at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference, say they’re monitoring the 99942 Apophis asteroid which will be coming within 20,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) of the Earth’s surface in just 10 years.  The thing is, by the year 2029, Trump will likely be settling into his 4th term - so if an asteroid suddenly threatens to destroy the Earth, my guess is that after 16 years of Trump, no one will really much care. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com  Oldest Human Footprint Found in the Americas Confirmed in Chile:   Researchers say a 15,600-year old footprint discovered by a student in southern Chile is believed to be the oldest human footprint ever found in the Americas.  Oddly enough, scientists say the footprint appears to be that of someone wearing size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, but because it’s from well over 15K years ago - they’re rather doubtful it has any connection to t...
