(3,213 posts)don't care about any of this. They think what Trump did is no big deal.
wnylib
(26,934 posts)fully approve of it. They just want to give the impression that it is no big deal in order to get Trump and their fellow conspirators off the hook to continue their agenda.

(12,282 posts)He was probably at a high level on their 2nd tier list. Pence was all by himself on their 1st tier.
Not that I would blame him one iota, but I wonder how much his brush with death is colouring his position(s) on the impeachment, and the GOP leadership in general.

(26,934 posts)they can also be cathartic. You can't heal from something like this until it is faced and dealt with.

(192 posts)I would love to hear this statement from one of our brilliant managers directed toward the GOP side of the room
Instead of looking down at your shoes Senators, you should look up and watch the screen. History and the American People are already watching. And theyre watching you Senators!
(followed by a long pause for effect, of course).
TY Catwoman.

(56,436 posts)We will get more of it, all over America. The rule of law is on trial here.
Oldem
(833 posts)surprised more rioters weren't shot. That would probably have torn it. I'm sure it's because of rigorous police training and a lot of self discipline.

(19,145 posts)They may see clips but without context in right wing news and Republican Senators will only vote the way their uninformed base wants them too.
Trump's base wants him back again so their Senators will vote to bring all of this back into the capitol again in a few years.

(7,583 posts)Yes, we came out on the side of good but what the absolute hell has he put us through?
Even though he's gone one month I still feel he is looming over us.
c-rational
(3,246 posts)Reading and watching in the days and weeks that followed I gained a much greater sense of the absolute horror that unfolded. The impeachment managers have done a remarkable job of presenting and tying together the events that led to a truly tragic day in our history. I sit here and seethe at what the dotard and his reThug enablers have done. Andy yes to whoever said the reThugs sitting in the Senate not paying attention should be called out individually.

(8,700 posts)been worse. They also seem to feel it was justified.
One has to wonder just how many are expecting more yet to unfold after the impeachment, say on March 4 or some other Q-day of choice? Like the day after Trump is arrested, or when he is charged with federal felonies?
I wonder how many of those now sneering at the testimony might wind up charged in the conspiracy?

(109,753 posts)And acted like nothing bad happened. That's how warped their minds are because of the conservative and conspiracy theory propaganda machine is.
They were literally screaming for blood. And not once did they think they went too far. They were going to go further.
