Fili-BUSTED: Senate Republicans Block Capitol Riot Commission The Banter Podcast with Michael Luciano and Ben Cohen

    • Politics

Republicans block the formation of an independent commission to investigate the 1/6 Capitol Insurrection incited by Donald Trump because Senate rules are idiotic, and Mitch McConnell wants to be majority leader again. Joe Manchin says he wouldn't want to gut the filibuster in order to investigate the rioters who tried  to destroy our government because – and this is real – "I'm not ready to destroy our government." Paul Ryan rises from the ether to give a delusional account of the state of the GOP. The Manhattan district attorney has convened a grand jury in the investigation of the Trump Organization. Also, why in the world has the question of Covid's origins become politicized?
