What a sham the impeachment trial will be in the senate......
 

~~
I do wonder what it would or would have taken for those republicans to consider an impeachable offense!

Jimmy Carter once again did not make it to an all-presidents-on-deck event. He did send a video message to Hank Aaron's funeral, and he did look very aware and alert, although frail. I believe the days of Jimmy Carter leaving his house are done.

...or maybe it's just something in the local water.

I often wonder how ugly creatures such as these are allowed to walk amidst the rest of humanity.

But I do know how it happens: small snivelling worm-like vermin, supported by carefully hidden wealthy powerful enablers, spit out their slime and grease the internet path for vermin . In neither case are they the majority of voters or citizens but they have slowly, stealthily packed the courts, thickened the walls of their legislatures, and created a gross lie that they represent the "will of the people"...wtf is wrong with Democrats that they cannot figure out how to disabuse citizens of this lie....

YOU WON, WTF ARE YOU SO OFTEN ON YOUR KNEES???
TIME TO STAND UP. CLAIM YOUR VICTORY AND TELL THE "REPUBLICAN BASE " TO GO TO HELL.

IF THEIR LEADERSHIP CAN"T STOP THEM, DO IT FOR THEM .

You know, it's said that the surest way to lose an argument is to invoke the example of Hitler and Nazis. People's eyes glaze over and they stop listening.

"Yeah yeah. That all happened but was 70 years ago. It can't happen again".

How fucking stupid is that?

From thehill.com article "GOP Has Growing Marjorie Taylor Greene Problem":

"Greene penned a 2018 Facebook post espousing a wild and false conspiracy theory that California’s deadliest wildfires at the time had been caused by a laser from space."

That is, by no means, the wackiest or most harmful of her beliefs.


It seems that Congress could reprimand her in a couple of ways, both of which have been proposed by her colleagues. They can have her removed from Congress, which will take a two-thirds majority vote, or they can strip her of her committee assignments, which apparently the House Minority Whip can do on his own. Her current committee assignment is to the Education Committee - which is ludicrous, because one of Ms. Greene's favorite conspiracy theories is that the school shootings at Sandy Hook and Parkland were hoaxes.

I guess that brain trust Kevin McCarthy was too busy yesterday begging for Trumps help to conduct his "talk" with this crackpot nutjob! He did say it was on his "to-do" list tho!

SARAH SANDERS RUNNING FOR GOV OF ARKANSAS: WHAT TO KNOW

"As governor, I will defend your right to be free of socialism and tyranny," Sanders said in her nearly eight-minute launch video. "Our state needs a leader with the courage to do what's right, not what's politically correct or convenient." "With your support, I hope to be the first woman to lead our state as governor," she continued.

Her former boss jumped in to endorse her campaign the day she announced.

"Sarah is strong on Borders, tough on Crime, and fully supports the Second Amendment and our great law enforcement officers," President Trump said in a statement.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders raises $1 million in four days after announcing run for Arkansas governor.

Only time will tell if the voters of Arkansas want a bold face liar as their next Governor!

Pressure mounts on Trump as former lawyers for the Trump Organization will have to surrender documents to the New York attorney general investigating him.

Let's hope....

New York Attorney General Letitia James can do what we know the senate or fellow republicans won't! Bring Trump down and give him a criminal record which prevents him from running for president again.

Trump's impeachment defense is out. Bannon is reportedly encouraging him to go to the Senate himself...

Five attorneys who were prepared to defend former President Donald Trump in his upcoming Senate impeachment trial have departed his legal team, people familiar with the situation confirmed to CNN and The New York Times. Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, who were expected to be two of the lead attorneys, are out, as are Josh Howard, Johnny Gasser, and Greg Harris. No other attorneys have announced they were involved with the case, so it appears that, for now, Trump is defenseless.

The lawyers reportedly left because of a disagreement over legal strategy. Trump reportedly wanted them to push his unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud in last year's presidential election rather than focus on whether convicting a former president after he's out of office is constitutional, an argument that appears to be the consensus among Republicans and the reason he'll likely be acquitted. Bowers, a source said, lacked chemistry with Trump and the decision to leave was reportedly mutual.

It's unclear where Trump will go from here - his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani reportedly wants to take the case, but he's a potential witness in the trial because he spoke at the rally preceding the deadly Capitol riot Trump is accused of inciting, and the Times notes "almost all" of Trump's advisers blame Giuliani for the impeachment in the first place.

Considering GOP senators have signaled they won't vote to convict, some are wondering why Trump would even bother spending money on attorneys at all at this point.

Stephen Bannon, Trump's former chief strategist, thinks the former president should go the Senate himself because "he's the only one who can sell it." Trump seems open to the idea, but aides are reportedly against it.

The "Proud Boys", self-described "Western Chauvinists" who were part of the insurrection movement that stormed the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, have been named by Canada as a terrorist organization. Canada is the first country to do so.

Why hasn't the United States done so? They attacked our capitol, after all! You would think we would get in there first!

Marjorie Taylor Greene tells lawmakers she regrets being 'allowed to believe things that weren't true'.

My ass, I'm sure she ONLY regrets her posts on social media came back to bite her in the ass!

Marjorie Taylor Greene is fast becoming a rash on my butt.

She has now co-sponsored a bill that would prevent all U.S. embassies from flying the LGBTQ Pride flag.

We are a symbol of hope for LGBTQ people around the world. I'm sure all the queers in Russia are more hopeful for their own country when they see our colors proudly being flown at the U.S. embassy.

Law enforcement officials have very carefully been calling them "extremists." The media was calling them terrorists on January 6th and 7th. I haven't heard that lately. Ain't it great to be a white terrorist in the US?

Gee...where did all those fake Ukrainian names go???

Ohhh, no worries..we've got fake Russian names now.

Hi there " Generationghy "

Do people who id as "Generationras" adjust to the left or to the right?

The House of Representatives has voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments. This will limit her influence in Congress. The vote was 230 to 199, with 11 Republicans siding with the Democrats.

Yay!

Barry Goldwater Saw it Coming.

Almost 60 years ago:

" Barry Goldwater was able to read the writing on the wall “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem.

Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

I didnt admire his politics but I sure admire his foresight.

The 11 Republicans who voted to oust the nutjob from her committee appointments, but mainly the 199 that didn't! That's just scary!

Wait till they try shutting her up.

From what I heard from her today, I'm sure they are starting to regret it already.

Let the finger pointing begin.
