or dragged out by his feet first, ... so he can face trial, and go to prison for life. I sincerely hope a few Republicans who enabled him go with. I would love to see Mitch McConnell and a few other Republicans go to prison too..

Don't take this lightly and wake up telling yourself "I should've...." when it is too late. Be active NOW! Stay informed and don't hide your head in the sand and whine about it later.

And I'm nearing the end. That's what she said and I believe her. Just listening to that, my blood was already running cold before I even turned on tonight's news..

And she's not only known him her entire life, she's a trained psychologist. She's emphasized more than once that Trump never jokes, said he's incapable of it.

if you aren't nervous than you haven't been paying attention. With all the books (and tapes from Woodward) there is a lot of info from first hand witnesses and accounts. No one should be surprised by anything that he will say or do (or attempt to do). He has a lot of criminals/politicians supporting him in his endeavors that he didn't have in 2016.

Not only for Trump's defiance of this country's laws and norms, and now the threat to a fair and legal election, but also for the horrific number of coronavirus deaths. They knew what he was capable of and yet they completely ignored the solid evidence presented during the impeachment hearings back in January

And like Rachel Maddow said, it's barely been 4 years. So much damage in so little time, and every single one of them needs to be held responsible. And some of them, like that despicable Ron Johnson, are in-your-face obvious! And then there's Tom Cotton who had a head start, sided with Iran to undermine Obama. We absolutely need to "clean house," especially in the Senate!

was just on for a minute. He even manages to ruin watch TV.

Yes, they will have to clean and fumigate after the traitors are gone (figuratively)...
as well as clean for bugs, listening devices, cameras etc. I expect they will leave the office a disaster area and not work with any transition team. He'd burn it all to the ground if he could get away with it.

If you remember, the Obama team was ready and waiting, but nobody showed up. That should have been enough of a hint. Trump didn't expect to win, he was only in it for the money he'd get from campaign contributions and the exposure. From what Mary Trump's book said, he's been overextended for decades, but he's never faced any consequences before so he figures he's immune.
