The Hits Keep Coming: PA GOP County Committees Censure Toomey After Impeachment Vote

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) can join the club for Republican senators who are now paying the price at home for daring to hold ex-President Donald Trump accountable after he encouraged a mob of his supporters to storm the Capitol last month.

Please do make Mr. Fetterman’s run that much easier.

Does Toomey have fucks to give on this matter? Think not.

If Toomey had any balls, spine, and sense whatsoever, he could give a big “FUCK YOU!!!” to both the local and national GQP by resigning immediately, thereby allowing the Dem governor of PA to appoint a Democrat to his vacated Senate seat, preferably a Democrat like Fetterman, who would piss off the Republicans to no end.

But Toomey is a Republican, so I don’t expect him to do any other good thing for this country besides the vote for impeachment conviction he did on Saturday.

It shows they have totally lost their way. No more government of laws. Only gov.t of toadying to dear leader

Again, this is not mostly about Senator Toomey straying abit.

The GOSP wants to reassure its most reliable members that is all-in on the Kult-Kult-Kult.

Otherwise they would never give it any oxygen.

A majority voted to convict, not acquit. It did not meet the required 2/3 supermajority.

The whole censure thingy is nothing more than a Romper Room No No.

Hahahahahaha Proves the GQP is so out of the loop that they keep doubling and tripling down on their own demise. Keep up the good work GQP yokels.

Shakes head in happy amazement.

All the Democrats need is one GOP Senator to say “I’m now an independent, but will caucus with the Democrats” to completely change the dynamic of the senate, especially in committee. Every committee would go from evenly divided, to one additional Democrat and one fewer Republican (and that is enshrined in the agreement on Senate procedures reached between Schumer and McConnell).

I’m hoping Schumer is doing everything in his power to convince one GOPer to switch sides — but doing so like a good prosecutor who offers a deal only to the first person in a gang that “cooperates”. The FIRST Republican that switches sides gets all the goodies…

The only thing dumber than censure at state level is censure of a retiring politician.

Exactly.

And obviously I agree that this should be repeated for public consumption.

I do not understand this fealty shown to Trump by the GOP. He cost them the White House, and he cost them the two Senate seats in Georgia. Trump’s approval ratings were appalling when he left office. Honestly, I just don’t get it.

Doesn’t matter to him. He’s got his nice big fat juicy pension that guarantees him living high off the hog for the rest of his sleazy life!

They’re not looking at the public polling on the insurrection either.

They’re completely consumed by the opinions of Qanon-thinkers on FB now.

The base is a cult, and the “leadership” are greedy cowards who are literally in fear of their lives. THAT is their takeaway from Jan 6.
