Sadly Teflon Don 2.0 will probably skate on this too.

OTOH, if he’s impeached after he leaves office he’ll be stripped of his pension, his Secret Service protection AND his ability to run for elected office. Forever!

Completely unrepentant. Not even a whisper of contrition. Not one breath of regret.

Benedict Donald stormed the Capitol.

He must be tried and convicted, so that his place as the “Worst President Ever / Imaginable” goes into the annals of history.

Possibly. That requires another vote by the Senate, but only with a simple majority instead of 2/3.

Don’t try to politicize a violent attack on the Capitol by supporters of the president goaded on by prominent GOP senators and most of the Republican representatives. Don’t even try, you big naughties, lest you further divide us.

Not only Trump.
Many Republican members of the House and Senate are equally guilty.
They know better that Trump is not capable of understanding that he is not the only person that matters.

But the R’s in the Senate won’t go along with impeachment, and trump will once again act invincible. That is the most likely outcome.

“but Dems and media eager to use Wed to settle political scores would only be dividing our country more.”

It’s time to shut this tripe down once and for all. The double standard shit has to stop. They’re using the same worn out excuses for their behavior that they’ve always used and gotten away with. IOKIYAR.

The country is as divided now as it’s been since the Civil War and in BOTH CASES, Conservatives take the blame. Democrats didn’t start this shit and they know that. These insurrectionists must be held accountable. Now is the time! We must not back away.
