McConnell furious with president, thinks impeachment will help 'rid' GOP of Trump and his movement
Fox News ^ | 1-12-21 | Brook Singman and Mike Emanuel

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell 'is done' and 'furious' with President Trump a source familiar confirmed to Fox News.

The source told Fox News that McConnell has shared with associates that impeachment will help rid the Republican Party of Trump and his movement.

It is unclear how McConnell would vote in an impeachment trial, should House Democrats vote to impeach Trump. It is not clear at this point whether McConnell would vote to convict.

Meanwhile, other sources told Fox News that there is "no love lost there."

Part of McConnell’s anger, according to sources, is that the Senate Majority was lost to the Democrats just last Tuesday in the Georgia Senate runoffs, but sources said that McConnell is extremely upset about the president’s actions Wednesday leading up to the riot at the Capitol......."

“That’s not for us to decide,” Pelosi said, adding: “People want to know.

We have to give some comfort to people that there is a way to do this, very respectful of not making a judgment

on the basis of a comment or behavior that we don’t like, but based on a medical decision, again,

with the full involvement of the vice president of the United States.”

 

Nah; we won't try to split you guys!

 

(Pelosi has been known to try to goad the president, aware that his blusterous reactions can repel voters.

In the past, she has accused Trump of engaging in a coverup, implored his family to have an intervention

over his behavior and said she prays for his health — the latter of which infuriated the president.)

. I won’t vote for any Republican that betrayed Trump.

It seems to be the ELECTED 'Republicans' that are trying to stuff Trump under the bus.

I have heard of no large scale abandonment of him by the grassroots folks who VOTED for him.

Why would anybody in the USA need to make a homemade gun?

To get one you SHOULD have bought when all this crap started happening?


Remember; it's a bit more difficult to create homemade ammunition.

They told me if I voted for Goldwater that we’d get into a war.

I was told by folks on FR that if I didn't vote for Mitt, I'd be voting for Obama.


Guess what; I didn't vote for either.

Any GOP who supports this is an idiot even in terms of self preservation.

Not GOP; but person; showing themselves to be a vindictive ankle nipper!

“I think Trump will be impeached in the House, but not removed/convicted by the Senate unless the GOP wants to commit suicide.”

Only about 16 Republican Senators have to vote with the Democrats in order to convict PDJT and it’s looking that there is close to that number.

America LOVES football, basketbrawl, hockey, cage fighting,

(Getting the picture?)

The actions of English football hooligans and firms in the 1980s caused English teams to be banned from European competition for six years after the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985. Although the level of football-related violence was significantly reduced in England after this event, in the recent Euro 2004 tournament, England were publicly warned that any violence by supporters at matches could result in their ejection from the tournament. Many known hooligans were prevented from traveling to the tournament in Portugal. There was a collective sigh of relief from security experts in the USA when England failed to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Alan Rothenberg (chairman of the World Cup organizing committee in the United States in 1994) said:

There were three countries in the world whose presence would have created logistical and security problems, so we're very pleased they won't be coming: Iraq, Iran and England.

Suicide-by-cop has entered our lexicon; but I don't think that suicide-by-disenfranchized-voters will reach out and grab you quite the same way.

Trump’s presidency revealed the duplicity of the Republicans, as evidenced in McConnell.

One of Trump’s biggest failings was that he was unable to explain conservative principle and policies. Reagan did a great job of that, but I can think of no politician who has come close to him. Most Republicans can’t do it because, like McConnell, they don’t believe in those principle and policies to begin with. They are shallow phonies who just push their own careers. That’s why they are joining the anti-Trump bandwagon.
