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......."

It’s amazing how we went from cruising to 8 years of successful MAGA to total destruction for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Dems evil and corrupt.
Repubs stupid and corrupt.
Allowing massive Dem vote fraud this time, insures every future election will be won by Dems via fraud...Repubs will go extinct as the Dodo bird.
Repubs cutting their own throats.
Why? Even a stupid person can figure that out.
Is there some “beyond stupid” phase?
And (1) Trump voters won’t ever vote for such anti-Trumpers again...and (2) Trump voters like me, will no longer vote...what’s the point when unchecked organized Dem vote fraud wins every election?

Both worthless scum.
So very glad Reid’s brother kicked his sorry ass.
Does Mitch have a brother? Can hope so can’t I?

Ole Mitch fully backed the Special Council, supported the funding bill that gave billions to foreign countries and never fought for the 'wall' money for 4 years. If he would have half supported Trump the way Reid supported Obama we would have never lost the House.

One of the greatest contributions of Trump was to make DC show its ass.

The Republican Party is nothing but a protective cover for the Democrat Party and Government Class.

Kill the Republican Party now. We have the power to do it. We can go after bigger game after we get that win under our belt.

The Democratic party has gravitas. Obviously I don’t like their Marxist agenda, but at least they fight for what they want. They have each others backs.

I’ll never vote for another Republican in my life for their failure to come together and back Trump. The Republicans, not the Democrats are the reason we’re at these crossroads.

>>Tyranny is the natural state of humanity.<<

Absolutely...spoken another way:

Genesis 6:5:
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

It is the uniparty.

The Republicans slowed things down a bit, from time to time.

At the national level, most politicians became denizens of the swamp. They have been all too willing to sell us out to the Chinese.

And the Chinese have been smart enough to play us.

He sabotaged the $2,000 in relief that may have put the GOP over in Georgia.

It didn't matter how many votes the RINOs got they could just jack up the count for the dems with the system they had in place.

We lived through Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy killing the Tea Party.

We didn't live through this one.

THat is 50% of the country. So the rich oligarchs (including RINOS like Mitch) are in control. The USA exists only with the Trump supporters, the real Americans. The rest are CS that will sell their soul for power and money.

He might get rid of Trump one way or another. He’s only mortal. But there is no way he will get rid of the movement that he is the head of for the foreseeable future. You can’t kill an idea, and short of a nuclear bomb, you can’t kill the forgotten men and women.

Yes, the GOP needs to get rid of Trump supporters and Trump supporters need to leave the GOP.

The NEW GOP - membership 1,000.

U better believe they will come courting Trump for his endorsement in 2022. I hope he tells them to all pound sand.

RIP, Republican Party
By Neil Braithwaite
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/01/rip_republican_party.html
Yesterday, during the Democrat-led congressional impeachment proceedings of President Trump, Republican House minority leader Kevin McCarthy declared that “[t]he president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress.”

Also, yesterday, Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said he had “not made a final decision on how I will vote” on impeachment. The Associated Press also reported that Sen. McConnell believes that the president is guilty of committing impeachable offenses.

I have attended several Trump rallies and listened to his speech in Washington last Wednesday. In all of President Trump’s rally speeches I have never inferred rhetoric inciteful to riot or violence. The president’s speech I watched in Washington was not at all different.

My brother was at the rally in Washington and got within a few feet of a couple of places where people were fighting police and breaking windows and entering the Capitol. He observed Antifa types dispersed in the crowd as the ones instigating the crowd to push forward and breach the barricades. As he got closer to the building, he also observed several Trump-supporters trying to stop people from breaking into the building and fighting police.

While there were some Trump-supporters involved in fighting police and entering the Capitol, it was clear that they were incited in a coordinated effort. While this is no excuse for their actions, it’s a fact that some people are predisposed to give in to incitement in highly stressful situations. There are many other witnesses who have told the same story.

What happened at the Capitol was wrong and tragic, but it was not incited by President Trump.

Over the last five years, at a couple of hundred Trump rallies, there were zero riots. Period!

Over the last year, across the country, BLM and Antifa “peaceful protests” erupted into 220 riots, resulting in 30 people being killed, 2,000 policemen injured, multiple attacks on police stations and federal buildings, public and federal property vandalized, minority communities and businesses destroyed, and portions of cities taken over by force.

And just who was to blame for these deadly riots? Not one Democrat politician who voiced wholehearted support for BLM or any other high-profile liberal media or Hollywood type. And certainly not Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, both of whom have the full support of BLM and Antifa.

And what were the consequences for BLM and Antifa as a result of all the riots, death, and destruction? Community leaders defunded the police. Leftist media and Democrat politicians applauded and encouraged their actions and encouraged compliance with their cause. Corporations gave millions to their cause. Big Tech applauded their actions and censored all opposition and condemnation of their actions. And citizens put yard signs in their yards to promote their cause.

There are hundreds of incidents of double-standards and blatant hypocrisy by leftists Democrats and their media and corporate supporters, but the time for pointing it out as the only defense the Republican Party can muster is over.

It’s just as Nancy Pelosi says: “people will do what they do.”

So I, along with probably millions of other Trump-supporters, who feel personally betrayed by both GOP rep. McCarthy, Senate GOP leader McConnell, and a host of other feckless congressional Republicans, “will do what we do” and leave the Republican Party.

And I’m fairly sure there are about 50 or 60 million other disgruntled Republicans who will be on board with this movement.

Let’s roll!
