Pelosi leads moment of silence for Jan. 6 with no Republicans except Cheneys
By Cristina Marcos - 01/06/22 01:30 PM EST

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) led a moment of silence on the House floor on Thursday to mark one year since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, with more than a dozen fellow Democrats and just one House Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), on hand.

The scene exemplified the attempts by most Republicans to avoid any reckoning with former President Trump's falsehoods about the 2020 election that led the violent mob of his supporters to storm the Capitol and interrupt lawmakers' certification of the Electoral College count.

Pelosi saluted the congressional staff who were in the Capitol that day — particularly those who whisked the boxes containing the certified electoral votes away from the mob — as well as the police officers who faced danger while defending the building.

"That day and the days after, they were the defenders of our democracy. And their courage and patriotism remain an inspiration," Pelosi said while presiding over a brief House pro forma session.

Oh yes, Dick Cheney, who allowed 9/11 to happen on his watch.

Pelosi leads a moment of silence .... good thing should didn't use a church -- odd things sometimes happen to evil people in churches. I wonder if there were thunderstorms going on around the outside of the building??

Yep, in fact I think the Never Trump wing of the GOP is clearing the path for her to run.

No moment of silence for Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland, both murdered by Capitol Police?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I believe you, though I would abstain from voting before I'd vote for a DEM.

Of course not.  Didn't you get the memo?  They were dangerous domestic terrorists who deserved to die.

I never imagined the day would come where I find myself in agreement with that statement.

No, the message must be sent that we will no longer tolerate these people.  We cannot make any progress with them still stinking up the GOP.  It's our party, they need to leave.

To me the GOP died on Jan. 6.  Time for a brand new party.

Let the Assistant Democrats be the ones who start the brand new party.

To me, the GOP died on Sep 3, 2008 when they nominated John McCain (the Democrat Party's choice) as their Presidential candidate.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Good point.  They've continued to go downhill ever since.

You think Lizzy wouldn't be doing all this unless she intends to run in 2024?

My hunch is that behind the scenes, the GOP bigwigs have decided she will be the Never Trumper candidate, and they will not split the vote, basically they are telling everyone else, that Liz is the "anointed one".

She’s not running for president. She’s doing it because she likes the limelight and she likes the accolades she’s getting from the press.
