Smaug: “I am fire. I am… death… but maybe we could hold up a minute to discuss the implications of this transgression and my plan to destroy Lake-town first.”
What would this commission even do? I’m not against having one, I just haven’t seen anyone say what the actual purpose is… Do we seriously not have enough evidence of guilt for any and all offending parties? What the hell is stopping “us” from acting _now_ ?
I never agree with George Will but this weekend he suggested the members of Congress both hate and fear the base. They are trapped into catering to them. They have nothing to gain from a Commission that will be used against them in the Midterms, so screw accountability, screw democracy.
Too early?
September 12 2012 – Benghazi attack
October 12 2012 – U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs announced its plan to conduct a bipartisan investigation
At least we can blatantly see the swamp now. We need to work on draing the swamp and filling it with decent non-corrupt people who care about their constituents. These guys care only about themselves and protecting their entitlement.
Justice has been held hostage too long, she will mete her full force against those that have done wrong.
What an era we’re having to endure, thank goodness our democracy stands.
Guess they want to wait till 3031 to even talk about it
Darn cowards hiding behind barricaded doors shaking in their shoes, some that needed to change their drawers
But when it’s all over they want to put it in the rear view
Business as usual for scumbucket republicans
We all know how much stronger and more credible evidence gets after it has ripened for a few months, the longer the better. Nobody ever believes fresh evidence. Eyewitnesses? Pah, let them all die off first. Then we can pore through their social media posts to discover the real truth.
The funniest part is, they’ve been caught with their pants down, and now they’re insisting the cameras be turned off while they try to pull their pants back up.
But someone stole the pants…
What’s to investigate? The revolution was televised. We all saw it, most of the people in Congress were there. Now, it’s “Too early” to investigate what they saw, and fled from? Why you running? It’s just a peaceful protest, right? Why where they barricading themselves, evacuating through side exits with the Secret Service? It didn’t happen, right? Then why are they on camera, leaving the scene of the not crime?
During impeachment: “We shouldn’t impeach the president for 1/6, the right thing to do is form a fact-finding commission.” Right now: “It’s too early to form a fact-finding commission.” Sometime in the future: “It’s too late to form a fact-finding commission, that was well over a year ago, we need to look forward instead.”
Let’s not rush into this. They might commit MORE crimes and we can really save on costs if we bundle on the investigation. Let’s wait until just before the sun goes nova, then we can really see the whole picture.
They don’t want an investigation because all you’d have to do is listen to your eyes and ears. And we all know how to feel about parties that insist on listening to big government oligarchs who demand you deny the evidence of your eyes and ears, right guys?
Too early to create a commission to investigate? Any investigation done its at its earliest because of fresh minds. I am sure the reason why they are trying to postpone this is because some of they would have to testify against Trump and some of them might be involved
America is a selective breeding program put in place by ‘Secret Masters’.
Let stupid find stupid, let smart find smart.
The gulf between the two camps gets deeper every generation.
We are now in the ‘sorting phase’, in which the true nature of ones breeding is revealed!
Congress-critters breaking the Law, then acting like a 10 year old…”It wasn’t me, you can’t prove it, I’m gonna stop you from finding out what really happened!”
I just wonder, does the ‘Invisible Hand’ want intelligent patriots or superstitious fools to take over America?
Leave affairs to the superstitious idiots, we’ll all be starving and disease ridden in two generations while the 1% makes ALL the money.
Leave it to intelligent patriots, and we will establish Star Fleet 75 years ahead of Mr. Roddenberry’s schedule!
A nation cannot advance in the hands of small minded people reveling in manufactured prejudice.
Reject the hateful fables of the past, embrace the reality of today!
This is such crap. When they aren’t saying it’s time to “move on” they’re saying it’s “too early”! Like every time we have a mass shooting. There’s never a right time to do the right thing with most elected Republicans! It would be bad enough if all they did was sit on their asses, but the only thing they seem to want to do is make it so that the Democrats can’t do anything, either!
I wonder if the Republicans will say that statement if the military forms a tribunal commission on the Capitol incident, with every Trump supporter in Congress dragged before the tribunal and forced to confess to conspiring with the alt right mob and having intended to throw Democrats as sacrificial victims for the mob in order to get them to leave the rest of Congress alone.
You know, after Benghazi, Republicans were all about gathering information because a bastion of American democracy was attacked and Americans were killed. But when a mob storms the capital to overthrow the government? Well, its just not the time for commissions, even five months later.
Yes, it is usually best to wait a good long time for the evidence trail to grow cold before you start investigating. Wouldn’t want to get burnt… Interesting parallel: the UK waited over 30 years to open an investigation into their army killing indiscrimanately in Ireland (Bloody Sunday 1972). Despite the cold trail, the investigation into revealed the truth, but prosecution of the guilty was not allowed.
Let’s be Blunt, we don’t have our cover stories and alibis straight yet! Just seems to me the more resistant the more complicant! I hope they go up their butts with microscopes!
Truth and Justice Matter!
I used to think that I was a champion procrastinator, but Republicans have me beat.
Mass shooting with people dead? Too early to talk about gun control. Riot in D. C. with 5 killed? You guessed it, too early to do any. Investigating.
Here’s one that needs serious consideration: Republicans that do nothing but obstruct? TOO EARLY TO PAY THEM.
Pathetic
ReplyI thought they wanted it done before the end of the year. Now they want to wait…until next year? Ok. Let’s do it right before the midterms.

ReplyIt was probably too early to form the 9/11 commission.
