Longtime Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) has joined a growing number of House Republicans in saying he plans to vote to impeach President Trump on Wednesday following a deadly riot by a mob of his supporters at the U.S. Capitol last week.

“Today the President characterized his inflammatory rhetoric at last Wednesday’s rally as ‘totally appropriate,’ and he expressed no regrets for last week’s violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol,” Upton said in a statement Tuesday.

It is an almost exact parallel to what needs to happen today. It is the model of what needs to occur in a situation perhaps even more dire than the 1850’s.

Go ahead, support the Mitch McConnell’s, Kevin McCarthy’s, the Liz Cheney’s, the Ben Sasse’s, they will manipulate you again and again. There are more than enough of us walking away that the protective cover for the Democrats and the Government Class, which is the only thing the Republican Party is, will be gone.

Go ahead, bitch and moan, but there are millions of us walking away, more than enough to kill that rancid, socialist enabling, party forever. And nothing will stop it now, they’ve plunged the knife into their own heart.

That is exactly Fred’s problem, he’s been around too long. The Congress needs to get rid of this old deadwood that have been in the Congress since Jesus was a corporal in the Jewish Army.

I told her since he claims to be a representative of the Republican party I do have a say in how he represents me in that regard. She was very hateful, which either means he is like this or she has gotten a lot of phone calls.

Donald Trump already did take over the GOP...with 87% approval rating among republicans. That is why the RINO’s are in a tizzy. They lost their power to export jobs with Trump’s tariffs. And they lost power to conduct endless foreign war to fund the military-industrial complex president IKE warned the country about.

If Trump runs in 2024 (he won’t) no republican can defeat him for nomination. However no republican (not even Abraham Lincoln) can win so long as Dominion systems are used to count votes. And democrat run cities are allowed to kick all republican observers out of ballot counting facilities. Read my tag line.

The GOP cooperated with the Democrats to cheat him out of office.
For the reasons you stated.
The Democrats couldn’t have done it without them.

GOP - RIP

No GOPer alive can get 75 million votes for President. And now the new baseline for Democrats is 80 million votes ( manufactured votes ).

I used to opposed TERM LIMITS, but now I think they are more than needed.

We have them in Michigan and I think they are too short. I would be for 8 years for Representative and 2 terms as senator.

AND a ban from being a lobbiest for 5 years after leaving public office. OR better yet, just ban lobbying and corporate donations!

I would also like ALL congress critters to have to go auditing by 3rd parties to ensure they are not unduly profiting from their offices.

It will never happen, but one can dream.

The democrats are highly skilled, experienced criminals. They entice republicans to be traitors by a variety of means. They have undoubtedly been approaching republicans with a great variety of persuasions over the impeachment. Money, blackmail, threats, etc. And since the democrats will be picking future election winners, and will need some republicans in office for show, they can offer reelection as an incentive to turn on Trump.

Trump just needs to declassify everything he has. It might already be too late.
