If he does the GOP doesn’t get another penny from me until I resigns.

“Are these fools that disconnected from reality and the American people?”

They really don’t care about “the people.” They understand politics and there are a hundred jujitsu-like political moves that will likely derail any attempt to remove them from office. Also, you can bet they were either bribed or expect some form of compensation; probably political favors.

An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.

Have you tried calling his local office? Get everybody to call his office and let him know how unhappy you are!

What exactly, is their point?

He has less than a week in office.

This is nothing more than spiteful, immature, petty vindictiveness.

I wish we had grown adults as politicians and representatives.

McConnell’s decision in this may well be the straw that breaks the Kamela’s back, and activates the Insurrection Act, as mandated by Trumps executive order prohibiting illegal foreign interference in US elections.

Nancy is clearly guilty, as is Kamela. I doubt if Biden is even awake yet, as his participation is neither important, nor required by the fascistic cabal that has taken over the government.

No, but the sanity by Dems like Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley, professors of Constitutional law are being ignored, literally.

The bloodlust of these evil effers is unparalleled.

From this day on,Chinese money will be the deciding factor.Six months from now, the threat of Cinese military action will be added to the money threat.

By the 2022 election, the military threat will totally replace the money pot.No need to pay gutless wimps that you own.

Whatever happened to McConnell’s multiple statements that there would be NO impeachment “trial” before 100 days’ time had passed?

We can derail them from the Party of Lincoln and see them stopped.

President Trump will lead that victory. It’s going to happen sooner than later.

Thank you Gen.Blather.

Too many people are saying it is unconstitutional to have a trial after his terms ends. I don’t think Roberts will go along either. You have to have a conviction before you vote to remove his eligibility.

Mitch (and the establishment) is just building up obstacles to him running again. Trump is too divisive, he lost before, he is too old, etc. The real reason is he isn’t part of the club. Looking at 2022 it is hard too picture the Republicans picking up Senate seats (assuming fair elections). 2024 looks more likely and but Mitch will be 82 and up for re-election. Mitch is more likely headed toward obscurity, than majority leader again.

That’s how Turtle has been winning lately. Kentucky uses Dominion which explains how Beshear won by a nose. Turtle doesn’t want the fraud exposed because it would implicate him and many other politicians from both parties.

All GOP positions were pre-selected by the democrats, some to go like DJT some to remain for show, others to remain to undermine what remains of the GOP.

Well, he could check in with his constituents. Let’s look. 5 of 6 House members from Kentucky are Republicans and they all voted no. There, Mitch, that was easy.

And, don’t forget, at that point MITCH WON’T BE THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER.
