Turds like Graham say convicting Trump won't allow the nation to heal.
They just want someone else to vote for it, as they cannot afford to annoy Trump's support in the GOP base if they want to be serious contenders for the GOP nomination in 2024
It would be great if he could be prevented from holding office again, I just worry that as time goes on more of those so inclined will tell themselves it is not worth it, or was it really as bad as they thought in the initial aftermath, that legal cases will sort it all out.
Amazing stat from the Guardian MBM from Peter Oh.
“James Milner is old enough - and perhaps versatile and hard-working enough - to be the entire Villa team’s dad. It’s men against boys out there!”
That could set up a vote in the House early to the middle of next week. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has not explicitly said when this will go to the floor.
Evans has been charged in a criminal complaint with entering restricted area and entering the US Capitol, said Ken Kohl, a top official in the US attorney’s office for Washington, DC.
St Helena, not Elba.
I mean, just - why?
Comparing yourself to racist, slave owning secessionists probably isn't the best look.

Or at least, if you do you shouldn’t be surprised if you’re arrested.
Since then every lesson on law and order starts with, ‘never, ever get funny win the police.’
They were, on this occasion, more wrong than right. But just because it was a poorly orchestrated shitshow didn't make it any less intentional or conceptually dangerous.
If they resembled anyone it was that idiot Antonio Tejero.

As it was, people apparently just slowed down sufficiently for people to paint portraits of the events, which must have been odd for the defenders.
IT used to be just the lefties that did that. They loftily sniffed at the Republican right as poor white trash, "flyover people", racist rednecks, and so on, meanwhile the right shrugged, hugged their guns, got on with their lives, generally ignored Washington (and often won elections anyway).
Now the right snarls at the left, just as viciously: to them the modern American left is traitorous, weird, cranky, effete, and actively trying to destroy freedom (and maybe succeeding).
When both sides claim complete moral superiority, and do it with anger, you have a recipe for something very nasty. And that is, also, why these people were happy to be recorded, or take selfies. They are not called the Proud Boys for nothing.

I'm not sure pleasure is what you'd experience.
AFTER YESTERDAYS EVENTS MEXICO HAVE SAID THEY WILL PAY FOR A WALL AND CANADA WANTS ONE TOO........
What a horrible week. Perhaps the worst week of my adult life, in terms of global politics and current affairs.
China crushes Hong Kong. America suffers a quasi-coup. Britain teeters on the edge of national disaster.

America is, I fear, fecked.
He lives alone and he doesn't seem too bad so that's something
But if proceedings for impeachment are started against Trump can they continue even after he has stopped officially being President? I am minded that all former Presidents are still referred to as President even after they are out of office.
My main question is whether they can carry on with the aim of preventing him standing again?
Basically US looks close to going with a delayed second dose.
This is phase 1 in Salmond's revenge

Ahahahahaha
Though it doesn't feel right me being older than a US Senator.

Rob's mate finally got a top job.
Oh wait.
I'm not aware of how impeachment works once a President leaves office - only 8 GOP Senators opposed the calling of the results but whether a third of the caucus would break ranks to back impeachment seems debatable.
There's a stronger argument for letting the clock run out on Trump and looking at his "indiscretions" (real or imagined) once he is out of the Oval Office.
Biden continues to impress by contrast.
If you want to read a revolution consuming itself, here's a good meal for you:

Basically, it's the GOP's fault. Well, that's the view of the ultra-loyalist and not the first time it's been the fault of the Party or the people. The question is whether these ultra-loyalist Trump supporters will continue to fight foe the soul of the GOP or whether they'll consider it beyond repair and head to other places - the Patriot Party or new similar movement.
We have the small matter of the 2022 elections - not the autumn contests but the primaries for those GOP congress seats and Senate seats up for election. Will we see challengers to both pro and anti-Trump GOP representatives? Given the variety of primary rules (registered GOP voters only or any voters), we could see some interesting contests.
It is Attorneys General.
