The last part is probably why they are doing this?

To keep Trump away for good. 

 

I'm not so sure they manage to get enough votes though. 

Is it 2/3 votes they need? 

 

Some of the republicans that might have plans next election, could ruin their chance by voting for this. 

politicians are political animals.  they'll wait to see which way the winds are blowing to commit.

investigations are just beginning, in regards to the storming of the capitol and trump's many "perfect" phone calls.

as more facts come out, many may find that breaking with trump may be their most secure path to re-election.

'Hang Mike Pence' trends on Twitter after platform suspends Trump for risk of 'incitement of violence'

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/twitter-trending-hang-mike-pence

there is a link in the article to a twitter feed with the video.

On sites such as TheDonald.Win and Parler, Trump supporters had been plotting the attack for weeks, promising violence if Congress didn’t overturn the results of the presidential election. They discussed the weapons they would bring and brainstormed which lawmakers they would hang first. “I’m thinking it will be literal war on that day,” one commenter posted on TheDonald’s forum last month, according to the Daily Beast. “Where we’ll storm offices and physically remove and even kill all the D.C. traitors and reclaim the country.”

Can you share with us which doubts about the election were quite legitimate? 

in the presidential mind.........it was important enough to seek out and contact the lead investigator during the investigation....while our great citizens were dying at a bigly rate of 1 every 20 seconds.

‘Find the fraud’: Trump pressured a Georgia elections investigator in a separate call legal experts say could amount to obstruction

President Trump urged Georgia’s lead elections investigator to “find the fraud” in a lengthy December phone call, saying the official would be a “national hero,” according to an individual familiar with the call who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the conversation.

Trump placed the call to the investigations chief for the Georgia secretary of state’s office shortly before Christmas — while the individual was leading an inquiry into allegations of ballot fraud in Cobb County, in the suburbs of Atlanta, according to people familiar with the episode.

Agreed!

 

I am a gay actor. I’ve had hundreds of acting jobs. 
 

I’ve played maybe three gay characters. 
 

Gay roles in the English-language theatre are few and far between. I could never make a living if I played only gay roles. 

but but but.... what about sexual orientation appropriation?!!!

rats!  that won't fit on a bumper sticker!

well, in that case good for you, and good luck in your career.

Suppose the rest of us will be paying through the nose to get our hands on one of those...

i didn't ask about the individual price.  will try to remember to ask when we get the second jab.

i did read somewhere that a dose (one or two?) would cost around $140.

If you pay attention to the speech 45 gave right before the terrorist invasion, he said he was going to walk right there with them. They thought their big brother was gonna walk up to the capitol, punch those nasty liberals in the nose, and reign supreme for another four years. Of course the gutless bully stayed back. Reports have it he watched in real time, delighted and entertained at what he caused.

there is cellphone video of the alleged party uploaded to youtube.  the one linked by drudge appears to be a private channel, so no posting links here.

you can click from drudge, or search youtube for "Trump Riot Watch Party".

They said they were afraid of being hit with drug charges, so decided to wrap the naked corpse in blankets...

the article is unclear whether this particular cowboy died with his boots on.

your imagination can fill in the picturesque details.

what is trump doing today (as another 4,000 die)?

The president’s publicly available schedule was empty yet again on Thursday as a statement released to the press read: “President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings.”

Shame.

trump was right about one thing; after the election (in this case, the electoral vote tally), no one would be talking about covid, covid, covid.

The US reported more than 4,000 Covid-19 deaths in one day for the first time ever  (January 8, 2021)

(CNN)The US reported more than 4,000 Covid-19 deaths Thursday -- the most virus-related deaths the country has reported in one day since the pandemic's start.

It's the third day in a row of record daily deaths from the disease, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, while the number of people who have been infected topped more than 21.56 million.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's most recent forecast projected there will be between 405,000 and 438,000 deaths by the end of the month. The previous forecast, published December 30, projected up to 424,000 deaths by January 23.

The Secretarys of Transportation and Education have already resigned.  Since it is not clear that whoever is functioning as the acting secretary in those departments can exert the 25th Amendment, did they resign just to block the invocation of the 25th Amendment in case Pence was inclined to do so.

regardless, it appears nancy is planning to introduce another set of articles of impeachment on wednesday, making trump the first president to be impeached twice.

won't go anywhere in the senate, but will make for delicious political theater, and provide many juicy quotes from republican senators that will be thinking of the 2022 midterms.  20 of the 34 seats up for grabs are currently held by republicans.

There's the 25th amendment - doesn't lock him up, but it removes him from power for being unfit for office. Apparently several cabinet members were considering this option yesterday.
