do or die

Yup, but Trump ignoring stimulus negotiations, until the 600.00 deal was done, then jumping in with the demand for 2K, put Mitch and the Georgia candidates on the griddle

Capitol riot fueled by deep network of GOP statehouse support Stolen election lie had backing from party’s governing class at every level, extending far beyond Congress and the White House https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/13/republican-legislatures-trump-conspiracy-458507 Mentioned in an earlier post.... that it would be interesting to see how many Republicans were complicit, in aiding and supporting the riot. The GOP - the self proclaimed party of patriots, "law and order and "personal responsibility" Grotesque.

That's fine. He can come back to DC, and take a role.....in Biden's White House delousing program

Looking ahead to Inauguration, appears that US is now spending millions to protect GOP lawmakers from the GOP mobs McConnell was already furious about Trump's antics, leading to the Georgia losses.......and relegating him to Minority Leader

If nothing else, McConnell runs a pretty tight ship there. This didn't leak out accidentally. No denial, at all, from him about the Times story, either........

Pence rejects calls to invoke 25th Amendment to remove Trump https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/533957-pence-rejects-calls-to-invoke-25th-amendment Kicking the ball back into the Senate court....... GOP lawmakers introduce resolution to censure Trump over Capitol riot https://thehill.com/homenews/house/533953-gop-lawmakers-introduce-resolution-to-censure-trump-over-capitol-attack Yup, just give him a slap on the wrist. Trump has learned his lesson, and would never do anything like that again..... GOP lawmakers' fiery language under more scrutiny after deadly Capitol riot https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/12/politics/gop-lawmakers-fiery-language-under-scrutiny-invs/index.html Take note of this nugget.... "Ali Alexander, a leader of the "Stop the Steal" group, said in several Periscope livestream videos last month that he planned the rally that preceded the riot in conjunction with Rep. Gosar and two other congressional Republicans, Mo Brooks of Alabama and Andy Biggs of Arizona"

Liz Chaney has just announced she will vote to impeach Trump

Come on. Trump only blindsided and double crossed him on the stimulus bill, making him a scapegoat for the MAGAbillies. Then Mitch had to cower on the floor, then flee, as the Trump Insurrection stormed the Capitol Building. And listen to Trump stating that his speech to that mob was "completely appropriate." Just not enough......for a tipping point, yet

Nothing but appropriate statements and perfect phone calls from the esteemed President.......

A Walk of Shame would work....

GOP lawmakers told Trump takes some responsibility for Capitol riot https://thehill.com/homenews/house/533754-gop-lawmakers-told-trump-takes-some-responsibility-for-capitol-riot Above is the official video of Trump on his knees sobbing and telling McCarthy "I did this. All my fault, I feel ashamed....what have I done?" Fortunately the President was soon able to get back to business as usual..... Trump defends remarks before Capitol riots, calling them 'totally appropriate' https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/533802-trump-defends-remarks-before-capitol-riots-calling-them-totally

Along with the fur brushing...

.....and some horn polish.

Wear the horns......get gored

She is the most worthy potential recipient of the Medal of Freedom, I've see this week........

Remember the good ole days, when the big worry was ISIS radicalizing domestic terrorists......

At least 15 top Trump officials didn't have to put up with it either. To say nothing about the crazy turnover rate in the upper echelons. Chaotic. Just the way The Don liked it.....

Never confirmed by the Senate..

Big problem for GOP, right into 2022 midterms....

Good people on both sides, man.....

While we're on the idiot theme.... Roy Blunt GOP Senator Insists Trump Shouldn’t Resign: ‘He Touched the Hot Stove’ and Won’t Do It Again https://news.yahoo.com/gop-senator-insists-trump-shouldn-171810465.html He needs to huddle up with Susan Collins. At least she would show some concern......

For all the Trump talk.....amazing how many GOP legislators still bestow agreement and approval on the election fraud and other conspiracy stuff. The rot runs deep........

Until they find someone else to pander to them. A Ted Cruz type or something. Trump's real lasting legacy, will be his bringing these "nut groups" out of the shadows, and into the mainstream of the GOP.

There certainly was no shortage of deflection and whataboutisms...

Well, some posts were actually made about about the GOP opening its doors to fascists, conspiracy theorists, racists and the alt-right, and the ability of Trump to manipulate both these forces, and transforming half the GOP into a potentially dangerous cult - quite some time ago.
