GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) said Friday that she believes President Trump should resign immediately, becoming the first Senate Republican to call for him to step down in the wake of riots at the Capitol.

“I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage,” Murkowski told the Anchorage Daily News.

Murkowski's comments come two days after rioters breached the Capitol as Vice President Pence and lawmakers were counting the Electoral College vote.

I see dead people.

The GOP is dead and is walking around not realizing that it’s dead.

Did Feinstein corner Murkowski and order her to say that?

How many needed to impeach? And do they have the numbers?


In the House it requires 50% +1 to impeach. That’s 218. They do have the numbers. In the Senate it requires 2/3rds or 67 to convict. I don’t believe the have the numbers or the time to conduct the trial.

And they control the media.

Creating a free and uncensorable alternative is job #1.

And it probably can’t be based on the internet because guess who will control the big switch?

Shortwave radio knows no borders. Except it will be Radio Free America now.

If Trump was as bad they say, they wouldn’t say a word, because they’re a bunch of craven grifters.

What if indeed Trump were to resign? Can he still be impeached?

“In the Senate it requires 2/3rds or 67 to convict. I don’t believe the have the numbers or the time to conduct the trial.”

Agreed. If it actually came to a vote, the number of Senators going for impeachment would be (I’m guessing around) 62. They’ll fall short.

I predict that there wouldn’t be more than 2-3 Republican defectors in the Senate.

Losing the support of 50-60 million voters for the next 25+ years is a steep price to pay just to get a guy out of office a week ahead of schedule.
