Is that even possible to accomplish??

Rod has always been math impaired, so you can't blame a guy like him for not being able to do 1st grade math.  

If each person took 1 shot every single minute for 12 straight hours each day, they would hit the 700 per day mark (and that's without even taking a lunch break!!)  tongue

Now then, to hit 13,000 birds, they would have to have a bullseye and hit everything they shot at when they shot those 2600 shots per shooter, per day.

Rod is your typical lefty, who never questions anything that is written by those of his ilk.

I wonder if he needs to use his fingers to add 3 and 2.

This reminds me of Jim Jordan's demand yesterday with Kevin McCarthy that Nancy Pelosi be investigated for failing to oversee and provide security of capitol hill on January 6th. Except for one thing, the speaker of the house, Ms Pelosi in this instance, doesn't oversee or otherwise have anything to do with capitol hill security:

Then, with righteous indignation, Jim and Kevin sit back and wonder why the former was kicked off the committee...
She doesn't oversee or otherwise have anything to do with capitol hill security?

Actually Yes Nancy Pelosi IS in Charge.  She isn't the ONLY person, but YES it is her responsibility and she blew it before the Capitol Attack.

You wants facts.  CNN once again misled you.

The Speaker is responsible for all operational decisions made within the House.

Nancy Pelosi was told there might be big trouble coming to the Capitol.

Chief of Police Sund on Jan. 4 requested that Nancy Pelosi provide National Guard Security to the Capitol.  

Being in charge of ALL operational decisions in the US House of Reps, Nancy Pelosi DENIED his request for Nat. Gd presence.

His request required the approval of the Speaker of the House and SHE DENIED his request.  

She'll try to keep that question from coming up when they do their song and dance and try to cast blame everywhere aside from themselves, and you'll absorb the lies hook, line, and sinker.

The question about Pelosi's responsibility will NEVER be asked by the 2 RINOs (Pelosi Democrats) on the Commission, so she'll never take her obvious responsiblity.

Here are the Facts:

1. Police Chief Sund requested that National Guard be placed at the Capitol on the 4th of Jan.

2. Nancy Pelosi DENIED the request of the Police Chief.

Nancy Pelosi lied according to Chief Sund, whose resignation she requested.

She said he never contacted her.

Chief Sund refuted that in a letter directly sent to Pelosi who is a liar (like most leftist Democrats) that he did contact her 2 times on the 6th.

Here are the specific times:  At 5:36 PM and at 6:25PM.

That's pretty precise. 

FACT (from Letter to Pelosi):    Chief Sund requested the National Guard be activated ahead of the January 6th Joint Session of Congress, the response from the SAA, acting on your behalf, was that the “optics” of having the National Guard on-site were not good and the intelligence didn’t support the move. The request was not approved.

Chief Sund confirmed all those facts above.

End of story.

No, what I wrote was correct.  You've simply done your little link to an article that you most likely didn't read past the header,  and you can't debate anything because you're a total lightweight when it comes to knowing anything.

Here's a clue for you and the author of the article, who has no credibility, since she didn't address the fact that the SAA takes his orders from Pelosi.

The author is so stupid that she brought up McConnell. 

Here's a clue for you and her.  McConnell is in the Senate, not the House of the Reps.  

Not that I'd expect you to know that, but that's ok.  

This is the first sentence from the AP moron:   As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard.

Gee, really?  She doesn't??

What the hell does that have to do with anything.  it is Nancy Pelosi's House, not McConnell's House.  

FACT:  She was offered the National Guard by Trump.  Pelosi on Jan 4 was told that the National Guard could be there to assist.

FACT:  Nancy Pelosi DENIED the request to have them sent there on the 4th of Jan.

FACT:  Then at 5:36 PM on Jan. 6 during the riot, She gave in and said "Yes, please send in the Guard".

FACT:  Pelosi was the one who dropped the ball.  She was WARNED by more than a dozen people that things could go awry and she didn't Care.

Why?  Because Pelosi was HOPING that something big would occur so that she could blame Trump.

FACT:  Pelosi doesn't care about anything except power.

FACT:  Your Democrats are running a one sided JOKE of a hearing.

FACT:  This is the VERY 1st time in the history of this country that the Speaker threw out members of the committed chosen by the opposite Political Party.

Deal with all those facts.  wink

From the fact check:
"The House Sergeant at Arms reports to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell, a Republican who was then Senate Majority Leader. There is no evidence that either directed the security officials not to call the guard beforehand, and Hammill said after the insurrection that Pelosi was never informed of such a request."
There was no insurrection.  

You might want to look that up.  

Nobody has been charged with "insurrection", not one.   Why do you think that is?  C'mon, rub those 3 brain cells together!  You can figure out why.  wink

Anything else?

So then there wasn't any insurrection.  Glad to see that the big lie of the left is just that, a lie.

A good number of the people who were charged got "Trespassing" and other misdemeanor charges put to them.

Boy, that's some "insurrection" now isn't it.

Here's a clue for the clueless.

They weren't charged with "insurrection" and "sedition" because they can't possibly make the case and they know they would be laughed out of court if they brought those charges.

Just remember this, these prosecutors may be partisan hacks, but they aren't as stupid as the dumbasses that make up those on the left whom they can easily manipulate for political purposes..... those like yourself.   wink

So then would you like to take a shot at answering the question?  

IF this entire event of the riot (the appropriate term for what happened) at the Capitol on Jan 6, was an insurrection, why hasn't the Justice Department charged anyone with the crime of Sedition or Insurrection?

After all, they've arrested somewhere on the order of 600 people from that day.

And another thing to consider is that the only person who was killed that day was Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed woman who was shot in the face by a DC cop as she stupidly tried to climb through a broken window.

In fact, I'll take the time to set the record straight, there were no deaths caused by the Riot, aside from an unarmed Trump supporter who was shot in the face by a DC cop, who to this day remains nameless because the left doesn't want his name known.

Another interesting observation is how all the leftist rioters who engaged in 500 + riots over the last year, killing 25 people, including cops, and burning down entire portions of cities have been let off the hook or have never even been charged with any crimes at all.

Isn't it funny how when rioters, thugs, arsonists, murderers, looters, robbers, burglars, and vandals on the left burn down entire cities, destroy property, and streal from businesses, but do it from the political perspective of being Democrat voters, they aren't charged with any crimes.

Isn't it funny how Nancy Pelosi begins a "commission" to get to the bottom of what caused the Jan 6th riot, but yet she hasn't put together a commission to get to the bottom of ALL the violent, murderous leftist Democrat riots during the past Spring and Summer of 2020.

I wonder why that is??  shocked

There is no discourse that you try to engage in with me, because you are incapable of debating on the merits of your arguments.

In other words, when I pose questions to you, your stock answer is to say "I don't need to convince you of anything", or another move, is the one you retort regularly which you did above, to regurgitate for the 100th time "Rich lives in a world of right-wing outrage, and media propaganda from the left", so that you can avoid answering any tough questions, the ones you and the left have no answers for.  Your other tactic is to claim "Rich is moving the goalposts".  

Translation of your psychobabble above:  James Lacey:  "I'm unable to support my BS, so I'm not going to even try to provide an answer to any of the reasonable questions that Rich poses here.  It is easier to simply attack the messenger and make my usual comments rather than answer a simple question".

Yep, that about surmises the entirety of your responses.  wink

That's not a conspiracy theory. I simply posited a thought based upon what I'd heard on a local radio show.

The other evidence I provided which you cannot refute are the times that Leftist news outlets HAVE in fact doctored evidence, one of the best examples being the George Zimmerman 911 call, where NBC "doctored" the audio to make it appear that G. Z. was a racist.

You can't refute that, can you?

And as for "conspiracy theories", you pushed the most egregious one with your "Donald Trump is a Russian Spy, working for Putin".

You pushed that lie for almost 2 solid years.  wink

Anything else, because if not, I'm still waiting for James to respond and put up evidence, which he has been impotent to do so far.

Well then Jim, explain how me hearing a statement on the radio and then repeating it, to support an argument amounts to a "conspiracy theory"?

For one thing, isn't a conspiracy theory mostly defined by numbers and numbers of individuals who CONTINUE to put forth theories after some fairly long period of time, when they are shown NOT to be accurate.

Ok, then let's examine exactly how the accusation applies to my utterance.

I had heard that the Flynn audio was doctored and I heard this on the radio.  The other day, I engaged in a single posting where I said "I heard that the Flynn audio was doctored" and that he didn't say that.

Immediately I was swarmed by crazy leftists here who accused me of engaging in a conspiracy theory.  

After 1 response I decided that perhaps Flynn did say those words and so I then asked some lefty here or you to provide the previous audio to see what the context there was for him to say "Maybe I can find someone in Wash. D.C."

Wow, that sure is 1 LONG Lasting conspiracy theory isn't it?   LOL

How long did I continue to imply that the tape was doctored?  I think it lasted all of one single response in the thread.  

Now then, compare that to Rod, Lacey, and the rest of the loony left running with the most ridiculous conspiracy theory that Trump was a Russian Spy working for Putin.  

Any thoughts or statements on that fact or are you too big a coward to challenge your buddies here about their HUGE conspiracy theory they peddled here for more than 2 solid years.

Do you have the guts?  wink

Yeah, that's what I thought coward.
