  1. Why is Graham at the airport? None of these fucksticks should be leaving DC right now.
  2. Impeachment also furthers that goal. Not that I have any faith in the GOP in the Senate, but drop this on their lap. Make them take a position. And because they're invertebrates, maybe if they actually have to take a position, they'll lean on Pence to invoke the 25th or Trump to resign.
  3. If trump did this, wouldn't it be an admission of guilt? Couldn't this be used against his co-conspirators (Cruz, Hawley, Don Jr., etc.) who helped him incite the coup attempt?
  4. Bingo. And while I'd rather he resign than be 25th-ed, with the threat of impeachment and having to put GOP Senators on the record, McConnell could also pressure Pence, whose political career is over anyway now, to invoke the 25th. While impeachment is better than the 25th, at least with the 25th Trump wouldn't have access to the nukes or be able to command the military.
  5. Yeah. You're right. Although he'd have to preside over the hearing in the Senate.
  6. When do Ossoff and Warnock get sworn in? McConnell will still (I think) be majority leader until Jan. 20, but you'd possibly be forcing Pence to vote on impeachment, and maybe get some of the GOP senators or Pence to fucking do something about the 25th other than cowardly, anonymous leaks that it's "being considered."
  7. They need to impeach him today. No more giving the GOP time to make stories about how Antifa really did this, or what the fuck ever. Make clear that every second trump controls the military and the nukes he is a threat to the republic. And get the vote done this afternoon. Let the GOP senators who know how bad this is go on record that they support trump anyway, or force them to call for either trump's resignation or invocation of the 25th. The GOP senators need be put on the spot. This minute.
  8. No one. There's only 99 senators---Ossoff hasn't been seated yet.
  9. They can probably impeach him after he's left office, with the penalty being he can never be in office again. They also can, and should (though I'm far from hopeful they will) draw up quick articles of impeachment tonight or tomorrow and get him the fuck out after what he's done today. Nothing in the Constitution requires them to hold lengthy hearings. His remaining as president is a clear danger to the republic.
  10. They need to delete his fucking account if they're going to do that. Don't just leave his last tweet as something reasonable sounding. Delete his account for inciting insurrection.
  11. The GOP message to trump needs to be action, not tweets of being bothered. The only thing they should be telling trump is that if he doesn't resign by 8 pm tonight, they're impeaching and removing him at 9 pm.
  12. The people involved in securing the Capitol wanted this to happen.
  13. Can CNN stop calling them protestors? Not sure what the right word is. Rioter? Terrorist? Coup conspirator? But it's sure as fuck not "protestor."
  14. I love how they start the video after what she said, so we don't know how offensive it was, and it makes her look to be in the wrong.
  15. 8 years ago, I thought the GOP as a whole had a problem with racism and sexism, and therefore I would rather have a dem president. I never knew, and still don't know, or care, what's in Mitt Romney's heart. The last four years have made crystal clear that the GOP does in fact have a massive problem with racism and sexism. All that said, verbally abusing a passenger confined in a tin can with no where to even get away from it is wrong. And nothing Romney has done makes me believe he's evil or treasonous or whatever, as opposed to someone who enjoyed a lot of privilege in his life and is unable to empathize with the less fortunate and has policy ideas I disagree with.
  16. Loeffler was appointed to her seat and was a horrible opponent, while Perdue is from a long time GA political family and previously won his seat. Loeffler also proceeded to attack the black church.
