  1. A societal collapse in well underway lead by the Uniparty. The funny thing is, they think they will be able to pickup the pieces. LOL ROFL

  2. Watching the coverage of January 6 committee it’s hard to find any place where they proved beyond reasonable doubt that it was an insurrection. Beyond reasonable doubt is the standard for capital punishment. Just because they repeat the word insurrection multiple times doesn’t make it proof. They have not presented evidence beyond reasonable doubt that this was ever an insurrection. That is the basis for what all of these people involved are being adjudicated for.

  3. Of course Gaetz with double speak, twisting truths, lies to fit his political non American democracy agenda. Vote this bum out!

  4. Just shut down the House until after the next election.

  5. Wait, when did Beavis become a congressperson?

  6. but but NBC why did you cut and Edit the full debate you bunch of hypocrites

  7. Here come the excise making trolls with 1- It didnt happne2- it happened but it wasn't a big deal 3- it happened but Trump didn't do it 4 antifa did it . If they were telling the truth, they would not have so many different stories

  8. Those who supported the coup should be asked to leave while the pledge is spoken

  9. All governments are domestic terrorists just listen to them they actually think they own every citizen

  10. Federal local state government are domestic terrorists and the media China virus showed the world that all governments are domestic terrorists they purposely killed people and ruined lives

  11. An "InSuReCtIon" with no weapons… LMFAO.

  12. This is absolute BULLSH💩T! Politicians wasting our tax paying $$$$ just to argue over political nonsense! 😲😒🙄 Will having a supportive, "proper politician" leading the U. S. Congress in the Pledge of Allegiance before meetings, help the average, hardworking American pay the daily rising costs of everything needed just to live through to the next day?! Or finally convince congress to pass a mandatory life-long living wage package for ALL working U. S. citizens, so only 1 JOB is needed to pay for household expenses? 🤔ANSWER: NO! Again, supposedly highly-educated U. S. politicians arguing over stupid political nonsense! I guess highly-educated U.S. politicians lose all abilities related to basic common sense once elected to political office! ALL U.S. congress members: Do your job and actually help the average American live a life worth living! 😲👍😎

  13. These republicans participated in an insurrection and then when nothing happens to them they go on to introduce useless waste-of-time amendments and scold the opposition for associating their amendment with insurrectionist. THIS REALLY HAPPENED after the events in the clip… it's like jeffrey Dahlmer getting mad when anyone mentions serial killers

  14. Cicilline thought he was being cute. Gaetz made a fool of him.

  15. #banalldomesticrepublicanterrorist How can you Pledge Allegiance to a Country and its Government you tried to overthrow? They should Pledge Allegiance to Putin because that is who they owe their Allegiance as Communist. #expellalltherepublicancommunist

  16. Fkn dem/lib/radical FB goons. You either pledge an allegiance….or you don’t. If you have to set some kind of terns & conditions…you’re not American. Full fkn stop

  17. one day Biden says you don't need ar-15s to overthrow the government you need F-15's…..oh!
    one day Members of Congress say you can't overthrow the government we have nukes,…..oh!
    …….but today the same Democrats call an unarmed protest with Facepainted Viking hat wearing loons that got a little out of hand is an Insurrection!!!!
    ahhahahahahhahahahaha
    Which is it????
    rational thought says it was a most peaceful protest right???

  18. Call it a murder because that's what the coward capital police did to unarmed Ashley babbitt

  19. Insurrection? That's a joke to call it that,like they were trying to overthrow the government? Meanwhile it was orchestrated by the fbi

  20. section 3 of the 14th amendment……

    "Section 3.

    No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

  21. There was NO insurrection!!!!!!! It's a demonrat/msm narrative to demonize those they disagree with. Sure, MF, an insurrection with no weapons. GFY!!!!

  22. Gaetz, Graham, Greene, Gosar, Johnson and Boebert and the Trumps are embarrassing white people.

  23. Correct
    They gave it to a man
    Spies Head Trump

  24. Matt Gsetz is a corrupt imbecile. All should agree regardless of party. Matt canysgree csuse he is guilty and just cause he adopts black children to feel good about himself not being racist. He is definitely racist. Love this .

  25. 14th Amendment Article 3 " No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

    Kick these seditionist traitors out of the Government. It's the Law. Again this shows America has become a Lawless Nation. Where the wealthy and connected get away with throwing a COUP or any crime. Meanwhile the working class is either murdered or turned into slave labor at for profit prisons, especially if they are brown or black. Which is legal under the 13th Amendment…legal…Slavery. That needs to be changed asap but you won't see either party try.
