I don't mind calling Biden 47 instead of 46 at this point...

Reason: All this stuff has to be written up a certain way.

Sure Rep Omar can quickly draft articles, but they need to be legally sound and all that. It takes more than a few days to get a prosecutable case together.

I might be wrong...

and this was her opportunity to bow out?

did that make sense? Due to her husband being who he is, Chou would not be able to vote to remove trump so this was her getting out gracefully?

And it never happens. GOP has majority of governors and legislatures. Half the US Senate and nearly half of the US House. They are going to be around for a long time.

Now GOP citizens trying to kill and kidnap congressional members.

I have been a political junkie since 1960 when Kennedy ran against Nixon.
And I have never seen anything like what I am seeing now.
I do not know if the GOP can survive.
