Apparently a president can do just about anything they want in their last months in office without repercussions. Not a dangerous precedent to set at all.
Apparently a governor can kill people without repercussions. And cover it up. And lie about it. And boast. Not a dangerous precedent to set at all.
That's fine, but that directly leads to some of our current partisan problems in Congress, and doing nothing corrects nothing.
Voted out of office. C'mon undercover Loony Lefty, stop pretending to be middle of the road.
Disagree. Trump is a symptom of the true cause: corruption of the Republican Party led by total disregard for American well-being, as led by the brutal partisan tactics begun in Congress by Newt Gingrich, and propagated into the mainstream of American consciousness by the massive propaganda arm that is ubiquitous RW media, initiated by Republican Party operative and FOX News founder Roger Ailes. If Trump never existed, where the Republican Party is now would have been realized eventually under a different demagogue/autocrat. All Trump did was speed up the process of getting to this point of near-autocracy. The Gingriches and McConnells and Hannitys and Limbaughs of this country were setting up this disaster long before Trump arrived on the scene. These same people continue to contribute to creating more disaster today.
And the Republican party will be destroyed even more than it is.
This proceeding isn’t handing out any repercussions. Even if they convict him in Congress (which seems unlikely) the consequence is he can’t run for office again. Big Woopie. That ain’t gonna happen anyways.
Too many.
Well, of course, but you aren’t answering my question. Unless your take is basically that since some wacko Trump supporters stormed the Capitol that all 75-million people who voted for him are a threat to do violence and should be feared?
No need to fear them, but they certainly should be derided.
In addition to derided, also shamed, ridiculed, ignored and ostracized.
That’s an awesome question for another venue. They could have also asked if anchovies belong on pizza. They don’t.
I can't fathom the mindsets of the people who think the events of January 6 should be rationalized, minimized, excused or ignored. Nor can I see how we can possibly be expected to believe and/or pretend that Trump had no culpability in what happened that day.
Nancy is not actually in charge of Capitol security, Neither is the mayor. Hope that helps.
The Dems have failed on two gimme impeachment cases by refusing to force Republicans to testify under oath. They might not have gained a conviction in either case, but in both cases they had plenty of chances to expose the corruption of the Republicans to the public, and in both cases they left whistle blowers hanging for no reason. The Dems fail miserably at political games, and that is their main weakness. They are a bunch of wimps.
AOC for president!!!
LOL. Please, no. Replacing one extreme with another gets us nowhere. Dems just need to be stronger willed, that's all. Republicans own them in Congress and over the airwaves not by favored policy, or their willingness for corruption, immorality or lack of ethics, but by brute force and m.o. to always play hardball. In politics, the louder one wins. Centrists - including those precious few Republican centrists - need to step up and be louder and tougher.
Yeah, it’s like Benghazi, if the bad guys were assembled by the people in charge.
I think if anyone still supports Trump (loyalists) at this point, they should be considered suspicious. Different from Trump voters, though.
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is overseen by the Capitol Police Board and has Congressional oversight by appropriations and authorizing committees from the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate.
By this logic there is a pothole on I 94 I think we should find her directly responsible for.The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is overseen by the Capitol Police Board and has Congressional oversight by appropriations and authorizing committees from the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate.
