    I’m just typing this out to see if I can parse the mental gymnastics.

    Donald Trump organized a big rally to protest the election. Nobody attended except hard core Biden fans who then decided to attack the Capitol to prevent Biden from becoming President, Meanwhile, Trump failed to call out the National Guard to stop the Biden supporters because…

    See? I can’t make it make sense, but I guess that’s because I wasn’t homeschooled.

      The biggest giveaway was when key alt right congress people said it was antifa and when people suggested that it be investigated, they still said no.

      I mean, it was antifa or it was Trump supporters. Pick a lane.

        Kinda like how they want to subpoena and question Hunter Biden.

        He says, “Sure, no problem, as long as it’s done in public, in front of cameras.”

        And they say no.

        It’s so blatantly obvious.

          I haven’t been following the whole Hunter Biden thing.

          What’s their reason for having a closed door session?

            Because they want to be the only ones who can walk out of the room and tell the story of what went on. Basically: if it’s done in public they won’t be able to lie about it.

            They know they are full of shit. Also something about not wanting Dems to have public opportunity to address their line of questioning because somehow it’ll waste more time than what they’re wasting already (and they know it will make them look stupid. Again.)

        They don’t say things to make sense or to convince normal, not bugfuck insane people, it’s to give their increasingly untethered to reality based ginned up and angry at ghosts of real problems.

      You’re talking about people who think JFK, Jr. faked his death, that it isn’t possible to just synthesize adrenochrome even if it did have some sort of effect the rich and powerful Democrats want it for, and that there’s a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant that has no basement.
