To say that the J6 Committee and the American people did not have the right to hear his testimony about the threat to his life on January 6th of 2021 by the man whose ass he kissed for 4 years.

How dare he?

They wanted to KILL you Mike! Get that?! KILL YOU! And you still want to blather like a smug Santa Claus about "separations of powers in the constitution" and the "sacredness" of conversations leading up to Jan 6? Fuck him

As they thumbed their noses at the ones properly sent by the J6 committee.

HYPOCRITES.

Any Democrat subpoenaed by these republican clowns should indeed show up, be polite, but not hold anything back. Instead of using swear words, use alternative names like "copulating mannaquens" instead, for example.

19. Um... this is a secular nation, Mike. Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion if one chooses.

I don't vote for any politician who keeps shoving his religious faith into my face. I already have one of my own, dude. Besides, this is a SECULAR nation. Maybe, deep down, he fantasizes about being a priest?

Shit - I've read how, when JFK was running for President, the yowling about him possibly being the first Catholic President and taking his orders from the Vatican, were all over the place! And when he took office, what little I remember (cuz I was pretty young then) was that I never heard him talk about religion - his or anybody else's.

I do remember when I was still living with my parents and we'd be watching TV during dinner, some man would come on the screen - might have been Perry Como or some such, and my mom would pipe up with "you know, he's a VERY good Catholic!" I can remember thinking "what does that have to do with anything?"

Just wondering when you decided to make that leap? Because it’s BS either way.

9. It's hard to imagine anybody's "Christian Foregiveness"

forcing them to forgive somebody for whipping up a mob to kill them (and others).

And the whole proudly refusing to testify to Congress should disqualify from holding any political office in the future.
