Trump's ultimate goal was to throw the election to the House

His thinking was that Republicans had the most State delegations....I am not even sure that would have worked because Liz Cheney (the single Wyoming vote) would have probably voted Biden

Looks like impeachment is unity

CNN just said about 30 Republicans will vote to impeach....that’s bipartisanship and unity...the radical right wing can’t call this impeachment political

Trump is useless to McConnell

McConnell got his judges....only reason why he and other Republicans tolerated trump.....one of the dumbest political decisions Trump made was to nominate Barrett pre election...he got played and was a sucker

Ivanka plans on attending inauguration?

My question is in what capacity? She is not an elected official and due to the pandemic the crowd is limited...so how in the hell does she think she will attend?

Why aren't these people charged with murder?

I have read plenty of stories where a person (usually a young black man) was charged with murder because they were doing something illegal (burglary, breaking and entering, etc...) and a person was killed. They were charged although they didn’t pull the trigger or weren’t part of the actually killing. But they were still arrested, prosecuted and convicted of murder. So what’s the difference?

Part of Melania Trump's statement

Most recently, my heart goes out to: Air Force Veteran, Ashli Babbit, Benjamin Philips, Kevin Greeson, Rosanne Boyland, and Capitol Police Officers, Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood. I pray for their families comfort and strength during this difficult time.


Really, why are the 4 domestic terrorist being named....this is just like people honoring confederates

I like with the guest on MSNBC just said

We mistake the silence of the suffering as ‘unity’

Toomey just called out Cruz and Hawley about the Big Lie

So is Cruz going to attack him for calling him a nazi

Toomey essentially just said that

We don’t need to impeach and convict Trump so that he wouldn’t be able to run for federal office again because Trump has disqualified himself and no way can he get elected again....he really doesn’t know the Republican base

I am tired of the 'heal and reconcile' message

This message always seems to be used when conservative thought loses either an election or war. The first time it happened was the Civil War (probably happened before then, but that’s the most stark example)...and has happened several times after (the last time was after the 2006 and 2008 elections )...Their people aren’t held accountable or suffer any consequences, we just try to move on (and our side goes along with it) ...But what really happens is they regroup and get worse and more emboldened and eventually get power again. I hope we don’t make the same mistakes this time. It seems like Pelosi and the Democratic House gets it.
