Mitch won’t be holding a gavel during trump’s second impeachment, starting Monday. By the time it gets to the Senate, Chuck will decide what evidence to hear in the matter.

Are there 16 or 17 genuine Americans and human beings in the Republican Senate caucus?

Romney
Murkowski

Who else will stand against insurrection, terror, murder, and mayhem rather than support a criminal thug and conman?
The GA SoS has not certified the results yet, has he? I believe 1/20 is the day Schumer takes over.

There is no “Capitol” in Seattle.
Well, yes there is. It was known as Capitol Hill until the June riots when it became known as the
Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ),also known as Free Capitol Hill, the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP).

I’m surprised you don’t remember.
Do you think you refuted my point?
Yes. In spades.
Especially Given the post you were referring to.
Not to mention your insults.
No, the post he referred to from bambu spoke of protesters occupying "the Capitol" in Seattle. Not Capitol Hill. The Capitol is in Olympia. So, no, you didn't refute his post, in spades or otherwise. "Especially G[sic]iven the post [he was] referring to."
Exactly the post I referred to.
Thanks .
You won’t cite it since YankGuy clearly misunderstood it.
The Capitol, the phrase bambu used, refers to a building where the government sits.
Well, no.
He was referring to a neighborhood called Capitol Hill (cum CHAZ after the riots).
But you and YankGuy know that. You two just don’t like Bambu.
That’s why you both use insults to bolster a silly debate over nothing.
Is there a Capitol in Seattle? Continue to say yes, and continue to be wrong.
There is a Capitol Hill which is what Bambu clearly was referring to. His post is unmistakable.
Which is why you won’t repeat it.
I quoted it. If I misquoted him repost his comment. You are the one saying he meant something he did not actually say.
LOL!

Lindsey Graham, traitor - according to the MAGA folks, who hounded him through the airport and vowed to make the rest of his life like this.

Graham doesnt need to worry.  He's in for six years.

It was the exact opposite.  Cops wanted the crowd to succeed to terrorize congress.


Which cops?

Certainly video doesn't bear that out with any high percentage.

Higher ups that had a skeleton force out there?  You mean Mayor Bowser?  Interesting theory - but I have no comment on that.

Did the Michigan incident have anything to do with what happened at the Capitol?

Sure.

The fact Michigan was a bit soft gave the "movement" more hubris - not that they really needed any.

Shows of force like we saw in Seattle when they defended the Federal building - and which were DENOUNCED by Democrats - were certainly the better way.

Trump supporters are ON THE SIDE of "there should have been more of a police presence at the Capitol", even though it was zanies from their own side that would have been held back, arrested, injured, etc

That is because the MAJORITY OF THE PARTY does not defend the EXTREMISTS - much unlike much of what we heard from your side after what occurred this summer.

 Know before commenting on this that commentary denouncing extreme BLM and AntiFa activities this past summer were NOT a condemnation of BLM or its right to exist.   Just the tactics.   Similarly, I support MAGA while denouncing what occurred after barricades were breached Wednesday.

Let the wisdom of that last paragraph live on in you.  I am sure you all mostly agree with it.

Interesting.  Thanks for the link.

Do you think Iran may be waiting til after the inauguration to hit the U.S. (forgetting anything you or anyone thinks Trump might do to incite from here on)?

As for overstating danger - I think the strong threats from Iran in the last week or so has us at high alert already, no?  The overstating is when they talk of Trump and nukes.

Nor were they endorsements of BML or Antifa - you condemn them just as you did Colin K's taking a knee, but right now you want to dance around.

And the way we know you condemn them is because you support MAGA, which condemns them.

Canada has the most vaccine dosages per capita, they say, but are still running slower than they would like - and slower than we are. OTOH, their numbers are still far lower than ours, overall.

I also doubt Biden will meet the Kim 3x and exchange love letters.
Trump believed Kim when he said he's give up his entire nuclear program.
About as credible as trump's threat to wipe out NK.

It's hard to annihilate North Korea when Seoul and most of South Korea's population reside 30 miles away from the border.  Also, the Chinese tend to be touchy about Western invasion and puppet govts set up on their border.
And oh yeah, those pesky nuclear weapons.  Would be easy for NK to annihilate Seoul and most South Koreans and embedded US military there.

Trump got nothing accomplished with NK despite giving them the respect that comes with multiple summits with the US president.  The NK nuke program continued and developed under Trump, only slowed down when one of their testing sites partially collapsed (from repeated explosions).

Kim is threatening an increase in nuclear arsenal NOW THAT TRUMP IS LEAVING OFFICE

I think he does fine work

This inclusive of his recent thoughts re:  his outgoing POTUS friend.

Like AOC, Graham only needs to carry a small group of voters to stay afloat

(Graham relative to the nation, Ocasio to the state of NY)
