    well the patriot act was passed under Republican rule... but that does not apply here, they could demand a speedy trial if they wanted too

    no proof 1-6 happened? we all saw it, lots of video....

    Also note that the House is not prosecuting anyone for Jan.6, not their job, they are investigating what caused and who was behind this heinous attack theoretically to prevent future such attacks. They can hold someone in contempt but that would be for an offense directly against the House.

    What nonsense did "Republicans" pull off ? --- Fallacious generalization and conflation mate. The actions of a few do not represent the actions of the many ..

    I dunno, would be kind of nice if the Republicans took the actual events of Jan 6th seriously instead of just the probe into it. But that might anger Trump so guess that's off the table.

    Not really. Both parties are in thrall to the Deep State, but this Biden regime does it in spades.

    I see your point, but is Trump really a conservative Republican?

    IMO he is a scoundrel and a reality TV star. Which corps are you talking about?

    I never object to tax cuts as long as they are the same for everybody as the law demands.

    Taxes are a necessary evil. The big problem is how the government spends/wastes the money.

    I’m sure the people being held without bail on misdemeanor charges are asking for continuances so that they can be held longer as political prisoners of the Biden regime.

    Really ? You dont know why ?

    I think the right wing media is doing a very serious disservice to their audience by not actually putting out what's happening. Thats why this live feed of the hearings is so important, and why Fox News wont air it because i think you will find that much of what the committee has uncovered, and much of what they have done has been obfuscated, or twisted by that news org for political gain. What these politicians have been saying in public, and what they were saying/doing in private, as uncovered by this commission, were not only very different, but they were dangerous.

    Among the early things they uncovered were texts from Hannity and many other talking heads to Mark Meadows was that they WERE concerned about what was happening, and they KNEW it was dangerous and anti democratic. But every one of those people went on their shows, or wrote their columns in support of what was happening, showing their hypocrisy in lying to the American public claiming that J6 was "no big deal". Still claiming that it was "just a demonstration" is just crazy. What was happening behind the scenes, and what they were really trying to accomplish was a literal attempt to bypass democracy.

    But Im sure most righties on here wont watch, and then claim it all lies.......

    some got a temporary tax cut, the corps got the permanent tax cuts... To say otherwise is just an absolute diversion of reality.

    "And yes, he reduced the corporate tax rate to help repatriate corporations to return back to the US"

    I guess this inflation is them saying thank you for the tax cuts?

    There is no such thing a permanent tax cuts! You do realize this, right? And you might be not be aware... And Biden is continuing the Trump tax cuts currently which was part of the infrastructure deal. Which includes the tax cuts to the middle class.

    For the love of Pete.. This inflation is due to a flood of unfunded liabilities by both administrations and then set a blaze in the current administration with even more radical spending. This administration continues to lie that he has "reduced" the deficit.
