I implore my fellow Republicans to finally do the right thing – and convict Trump (Barf alert)

Washington Post via press reader ^ | February 8th 2021 | Adam Kinzinger

[Ennis85]

Adam Kinzinger, a Republican, represents Illinois’s 16th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Winston Churchill famously said, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” All Americans, but especially my fellow Republicans, should remember this wisdom during the Senate’s trial of former president Donald Trump.

[The Antiyuppie]

Illinois Republicans are almost 100% RINO north of 95th Street.

Many are also crooked, because Illinois.

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

The Life of Reason, Volume 1, Chapter 12, Flux and Constancy in Human Nature by George Santayana

Santayana's full quote is far more than a mere admonition to remember history.

He trashes Trump...He’s pro-life ,yet hasn’t trashed Biden for the tens of millions of dollars he just gave Planned Parenthood to exterminate African babies.... I guess since his district is 91% white,he’s not pro-life except for white people,right Adam?????

[VeniVidiVici]

Kinzinger is such a fucking fairy. Has he EVER done anything conservative?

[ETL]

You mean the never ending Russian witch hunt, the Dem desire to impeach Trump...

As the left-wing slime ball democrats who continue pushing that BS knew all along, it is the LEFT who is in bed with Russia.

Re: Maduro allies

The Links Between Black Lives Matter and Nicolas Maduro Revealed

PanAm Post ^ | June 23, 2020 | PanAm Post Staff

[excerpt]
"...while Black Lives Matter claim to oppose police abuse and racism around the world, the organization is simultaneously a great supporter of some of the world’s most brutal and repressive dictators. In particular, the founders of BLM have been staunch supporters and allies of the sanguinary Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro and of the Castro regime in Cuba.

In December 2015 Black Lives Matter sent a delegation, headed by the organization’s co-founder, Opal Tometi, to act as observers during the Venezuelan Parliamentary elections of that year. The Maduro regime did not allow accreditation for observers from the Organization of American States, the UN, or the EU. The only accredited observers where from regimes and organizations friendly to the “revolutionary cause.”

Later that same month Tometi penned an article where she espouses, word for word, the regime’s standard text for international propaganda.

“In these last 17 years, we have witnessed the Bolivarian Revolution champion participatory democracy and construct a fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world ,” wrote Tometi about one of the world’s most corrupt voting systems in history.

Earlier in 2015 Maduro was given an award at the Afro-descenndants Summit” held in Harlem. Maduro was invited at the behest of the Black Lives Matter leadership. ..."

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

by Bill Gertz, February 20, 2015

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb 11 to 14.

It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. ..."

Russia to boost Venezuela ties amid US pressure

February 8, 2020 - BBC

Russia has pledged to boost military and economic co-operation with Venezuela to help the South American nation deal with growing US pressure.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s comments came after his meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas.

Mr Lavrov said any attempts to remove Mr Maduro’s government by force were unacceptable.

The US accuses Mr Maduro of leading a corrupt and brutal regime. ...”

“Russia is a key ally of Venezuela, lending it billions of dollars and backing its oil industry and military.”

I fervently hope that this scum gets run over by a truck.

[Deplorable American1776]

The Patriot Party will be another third party joke. The Libertarian Party was started to help American citizens be free, but now they are as crazy as the Dems...

To help America, we need to defeat GLOBALIST REPUBLICANS! Not give up...

[inchworm]

How come we can’t ever find a fake Democrat to run for office?

[Stravinsky]

He did not “incite” the riot. No matter how violent anyone got, that’s what it comes down to for me. He’s legitimately not guilty and all this theater doesn’t change that,

And then there’s the very good argument that you can’t impeach someone who is no longer in office.

>>Winston Churchill famously said, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” All Americans, but especially my fellow Republicans, should remember this wisdom during the Senate’s trial of former president Donald Trump.

How utterly odd he’d quote Winston Churchill.

Neither Obama nor Biden wanted the bust of Winston in the White House. Obama even sent it BACK to England!

It was Donald Trump who honored our ally.

[a fool in paradise]

Jennifer Rubin must be on vacation this week.

[a fool in paradise]

Did he vote for Donald Trump in either election?

If he hasn’t voted Republican in 10 years how can he claim to be one?

[technically right]

He doesn’t care. He’s auditioning for the job Fatso Pritzker currently has.

[stars & stripes forever]

He must have something to hide.

[FenwickBabbitt]

This anti-Republican trashing our Constitution and stabbing conservatives in the back on behalf of his Marxist overlords is an absolute piece of trash. I will celebrate his leaving the Congress almost as must as Nanzi Pelosi’s leaving.

[caww]

He's tied at the hip with Cheney...

Feb.2 Kinzinger was slapped with censure by Illinois county GOP for voting to impeach Trump.....Kinzinger hasn’t engaged with county Republicans for six years but has found time to take his anti-Trump messaging to national media platforms.

[caww]

Kinzinger endorsed Jeb Bush for the Republican primary in the 2016 U.S. presidential election...so he was never for Trump.

[Artcore]

So glad I left the Republican Party last month!

Never again will I grab my ankles and vote Republican!

[Vehmgericht]

One of the greatest benefits of this present nonsense is that most Deep State members who have pretended to be conservatives have exposed themselves. We Liz Chaney get reelected?

[Thumper1960]

I implore Adam Kinzinger to do the right thing and commit suicide.
