American Politics: So long Trump!

[RoboBlue]

So, what are the odds of this impeachment going through today? I can tell Congress should be fine, but what about Senate?

Zero, the senate's not reconvening today.

Who were those 10 brave republicans that didn't let themselves be bullied by the same threats all liberals and democrats have been reviving since Donnie was elected?

[Monquito]

Its gon be really hard to get the votes in the Senate isn't?

[pariston_hill]

What this fuck has anything to with the impeach? And was Nazi Wernher von Braun who helped put an American on the moon, so don't hog the glory all to yourselves.
Basically we supported a hatemonger for 5 years and held him unaccountable and now that he almost cost our lives because of him we should let it slide again and do nothing.

Finally now strip him of his attempt to pull a Grover Cleveland and his post presidency perks.

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
Rep. Jamie Herrera-Beutler of Washington
Rep. John Katko of New York
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan
Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington
Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina
Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan
Rep. David Valadao of California

I don't know about the other 9 but I would never call Liz Cheney, "daughter of you know who" brave.

At the very least, we can say that these representatives are above the ridiculous bottom of the integrity spectrum that the rest of their colleagues decided to sit at today.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

I was listening to the arguments on the House floor today, it was exhausting and embarrassing. The most infuriating thing to hear was that Donald Trump was beyond reproach because the rioters had clearly organized their attack prior to his speech on the 6th.

But this article of impeachment doesn’t imply that the Trump supporters were incited by the one speech given on the 6th. It’s clear that Trump has been inciting this sort of violent insurrection since Election Day, and even earlier.

At least they didn't hide behind the we received death threats and are scare about our families if we vote pro-impeach.

Trying to save his sorry ass, lmao

You forgot some genius actually deciding to engage in whataboutism involving DeNiro, Kathy Griffin, & Madonna for openly criticizing Trump. Apparently being unaware of all the times prior to running for President and even during the process Trump openly trashed the Republican Party.

Too late, should have said this before the Capitol riot

Everything you said your "true supporters" shouldn't do is what you told them to do 5 years fuckface.

[Foolio]

I'm just impressed he was able to follow a script for five whole minutes.

Times must’ve been hard for him.

Rudy would like us to believe that when he called for "trial by combat", clearly advocating a civil war over the presidency, he was actually referring to that famous documentary about the real life fictional English hero Tyrion Lannister.

"I was referencing the kind of trial that took place for Tyrion in that very famous documentary about fictitious medieval England," Giuliani told Samuels. "When Tyrion, who is a very small man, is accused of murder. He didn't commit murder, he can't defend himself, and he hires a champion to defend him."

[auem]

I'm blocked for some reason, anyone got a screencap or summary of the tweet for me?

It's a video, where insurrectionists talks about the map and plans of the capitol inside. They came in quite prepared.

[Insider2000]

I... I can't even grasp the level of stupidity of Rudy's statement... Holy fuck...

[maxterdexter]

Documentary about fictitious medieval England. Well to be honest the one lie is documentary, And the omission of “fantasy”

[Robby]

You hear that Guiliani quote and go that can't be real.

But he's apparently been like that for decades.



He's always been crazy, New York always hated him, he just had two good weeks in 2001 where he got to be America's Mayor after a tragedy.
