Split Thread A second impeachment

That speech by McConnell makes me even angrier with him. He knows Trump was guilty and yet he votes to acquit on a flimsy and transparent excuse for purely self-serving political reasons. It just reaffirms what a snake he is.
 
Even though the outcome was almost assured, McConnell's disingenuousness pisses me off almost more than anything else that has happened.

Trump has lost his mouthpiece. He sent a written statement around and ABC at least, only read the beginning of it. Without his megaphone, can he even get more than a few thousand to come to a rally?

He tried to get Zuckerburg to let him back on FB, not happening yet.

It takes social media to rev that crowd back up and I believe right now they have no wind in their sails.

Not saying the situation can't change, just saying right now I don't feel any give-us-back-Trump movement brewing. He's a loser.

Maybe hold off on shooting your brothers for a bit. While he may have ducked a largely impotent impeachment conviction, DC might sit want a word.

And hundreds of arrested insurrectionists have already felt the bite of the potency of the Law.

this will probably work out for the best. Trump can't rally his base, they don't turn out in 2022, and people don't forget what happened in the last few months.

And honestly I'd be tempted to push through some controversial votes on a party line with Kamala as the tie breaker just to shove it down their throats that they're the minority party and they've failed. PR and DC statehood for instance would force the R party to have to be more moderate and actually consider the will of the people.

All Biden has to do is a good job in the meantime.

I agree. I don't see Trump running in 2024. He'll claim he is, he'll make some moves like holding rallies, but he won't actually run.
 
Hey, does this mean we can storm Congress for this travesty and get away with it now? Asking for an insurrectionist.

Nor mine. But show me a Civil War where innocents are not caught in the crossfire. People getting a woody over Civil War overlook that sometimes. Arming up in the streets is generally a net negative.
 
Congress makes it official: “Hey, Executive Branch, it’s okay to raise up an army against us, kill us if you like, if you don’t get your way!

“Thumbs up! High 5!”
