The Trump Terrorists (TTā€™s) are mentally ill, having caught it from him and Fox News. It is not an excuse. He and his Party knew that the TTā€™s would recruit to his call, and proceeded to advertise, organize and enable their attack on the U.S. Capitol.

He could have resigned. He could have been removed through the 25A. His mental illness will never allow him to accept responsibility. If he is not removed, he will do something as bad or worse at his first opportunity. He is an active threat.

Republicans are leaning on statutory language to avoid the separate question of what is impeachable.

A valiant effort at dissembling there, eh?

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. LET US NOT MINCE WORDS OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. IT WAS A TARGETED BLOW AT THE MOST ESSENTIAL PROCESS THAT MAKES US A DEMOCRACY. IT WAS A DIRECT AND A SPECIFICALLY INCITED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. FOR YEARS WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE CRIMINALITY, CORRUPTION AND BLATANT DISREGARD TO THE RULE OF LAW BY THE TYRANT PRESIDENT WE HAVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE AS A NATION CAN NO LONGER LOOK AWAY.

I get that local news on air polls arenā€™t reliable in any way, but our local NBC station ran one regarding that dumb fuck resigning and 80% of respondents were in favor. Granted, Denver is on the opposite side of the state from her district (Rifle, on the western slope) and Denver is the reason the state is becoming reliably blue. I still donā€™t think she has a great chance of serving a 2nd term, if she avoids prison.

FYI, a trick to change ALL CAPS to proper sentence capitalization is available in MS Word and maybe other editors. The command to change to ā€˜Sentence Caseā€™ is found in the ā€œAaā€ function located in the Font section of the Home ribbon.

Curious as well. I think it may have to do with the fact that thereā€™s no one over there to receive them, and next week will be the first opportunity to deliver it.

Oh yay. We should ā€œmove forward.ā€ Guess weā€™d better get used to hearing that for a while.

Tom Cole doesnā€™t sound like his heart is in this.

He knows what heā€™s saying is total feeble bullshit.
