I think they probably will not convict Trump, but I also think they are pretty tired of him and becoming afraid of him so there is a chance they might. It really all depends on McConnell. I’m pretty certain that, if he wants to, he can get 16 other Republican Senators to vote with him. If he doesn’t want to, there…

These are the same GOP senators who accepted Kavanaugh’s testimony that he had no idea what the slang he used meant, even though he used it in the exact context one would expect if he knew what it meant. These are the same GOP senators who invented a rule that Presidents can’t appoint new Supreme Court justices in the…
If only there was some party that stood for personal responsibility. You know, not relying on handouts from the government to get you out of a tough spot. These people need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps.
That won’t save them from criminal charges, though.
Trump is pretty stupid, but he’s not dumb. He’s been around enough crime bosses to know that when you’re in that position you talk around things and leave it for your lackeys to read between the lines about what you want. When the shit hits the fan you play dumb.
Thing is I don’t think any of these nut jobs expected they would need a pardon. Judging by the chaos and disbelieving mayhem on their cesspool websites they truly believed that by sundown on January 20 Biden and Harris’s heads would be on pikes and the shit stain would have declared himself emperor and ascended to the…
The Senate and the Federal Courts are separate entities, but there has to be some way to cut them a plea deal and then have them testify that everything they did was at Trump’s urging in Impeachment 2: Impeach Harder. Maybe remind them that Donny signed an executive order last summer which made the penalty for…
Fuck it and fuck them, they deserve no less from killing people.
This is RWNJ self pwnage on an epic scale! It’s so good I’ve almost quit drinking!
Seriously. The Democrats never cease to be Charlie Brown trying to kick that goddamn football. There is no common ground. They need to figure this out.
Are you referencing the GOP Congressional members who voted against certifying Joe Biden, shortly after a murderous terrorist mob stormed the Capitol? They didn’t seem shook, not one bit.
GOP learn? What chu smokin?
Naveed Jamali has been putting a lot of calls in to his contacts at state police to see where there may be terrorist sympathizers or insurrectionists.
The reconciliation process, which requires only 50 votes + VP, can address most of these issues. It’s how the GOP moved a lot of stuff Trump’s first two years.
Or what many states do and have early voting starting around 10 days before Election Day.
I kinda don’t trust the government to put together a secure voting app without fucking it all up but there’s absolutely no reason why voting day shouldn’t be a national holiday and/or held over a weekend.
Man, this is the thing I keep saying. Democrats will hold the presidency and both houses of Congress. They need to make moves. Forget backlash, forget fervor, forget uproar. We just spent 4+ years years with a Senate that refused to act on anything that wasn’t beneficial to Republicans and their corporate interests.
Once the Dem-held Senate is installed, it needs to pass H.R. 1, the For the People Act, H.R. 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and S. 3822, the DemocracyCorps Act. Two of those bills – H.R. 1 and H.R. 4 — have already passed the House of Representatives.
