Supporting the impeachment of President Trump under these circumstances will do great damage to the institutions of government …

The individuals who participated in the storming of the Capitol should be met with the full force of the law. They should and will be held accountable…

So which is it? Make up your mind!

This is full on double-speak intended to encourage insurrection while claiming to be discouraging it.

At its fundamental core it’s a threat.

Police are now saying it’s safe to reenter the First National Bank. The robbers are in the lobby negotiating politely and have promised to surrender their weapons once people stop treating them like criminals.

Yep. There’s nothing that needs to be said about this that hasn’t been said scores of times over his career. This is the squeaking of a mouse. No human has any reason to pay attention.

“Supporting the impeachment of President Trump under these circumstances will do great damage to the institutions of government and could invite further violence."

Ms. Lindsey, please explain how ignoring riots, sedition and an attack on Democracy will not be an open door for “further violence”? How does failure to acknowledge and hold people accountable first, and then work towards repairing what Trump hath wrought “damage the institutions of government”?

I’m sorry, what’s that? I’m not hearing any response.

Because there isn’t any.

That’s true. Hadn’t noticed. I guess someone finally overruled Rump.

Wonder what McMorris-Rogers will do? She already had backed off the vote to object to electors last week. We could have a hat trick in Washington state with Herrera Beutler and Newhouse.

You impeached Bill Clinton over a blowjob but you be you Lindsey.

Alternative translation: “Give the terrorists exactly what they want, and they won’t hurt you.”

To be fair, Graham only said he was done with trying to overturn the election, an effort he had been personally engaged in up until the attempted coup.

I don’t blame TPM for posting this article, but we need to stop giving any Rs any ink, especially Oily Linseed.

Have these people not discredited themselves? I don’t care if he is a Senator. He’s a smart guy, but I will never care again about anything he has to say whether the wind is blowing our way or his way. He will do/say anything along with the majority of his party. At long last, the country never needs to hear another word from any of them. It is all lies, desecration, and exploitation. You get away from people like them, not invite them on your talk-shows or cover their blasphemous utterances.

Area man assisting closely in Trump’s effort to do damage to government says stopping Trump from doing damage to government will do damage to government.

Over and over during the last week, I find myself missing Al Franken.

Stunning he would whine about impeachment causing great damage when his words and actions helped instigate the deaths and injuries of multiple people in this attack.

ETA: Reading his words again, it sounds more like a threat and a promise than a warning. He’s still instigating terrorist acts through others.
