OH MY GOD! Guys, there was a headline! The country was almost taken over in a coup. case closed.

"everything i don't like is fake news and has no substance to it. they were just 'good people strolling through the capitol', and trump had nothing to do with it." - a critical thinking, reasonable person, and totally not a fascist bootlicker.

Continuing here...

The vice signaling from the GOP since Jan. 6th is unbelievable. Not only should Trump not be held accountable... but any Republican who thinks differently needs to leave the party. It's nuts.

It's a cult unfortunately. The party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Reagan belongs to Trump.

The idea is that the House members are supposed to represent the voters in their district. You dont see folks from purple or "untrumpy" districts like Peter Meijer or John Katko getting censured - but when the Republicans in places like Wyoming (Cheney) or South Carolina (Rice) stand overwhelmingly behind Trump, it annoys them when "their" representative knowingly votes the other way.

Now, I consider these censures an overreaction and would prefer to just see Cheney et al. primaried without mercy at the next best occasion, but I can see why very pro-Trump local activists and officials want to send a message to their representatives in DC... reminding them that they're well-advised to know where their base stands.

by jan 31 2017 every topic related to the prior President or candidate had tumbled down the page lists here. this topic in 2021 gets more action than the actual president’s topic (which makes sense since his admin is just issuing EOs banning saying that covid-19 originated in Wuhan, China. no action on $2k checks and copying the prior admin’s exact vaccine playbook, per Bloomberg News)

the obsession by certain users is quite a laugh though

looks like Trump told his lawyers to fuck off, and he's going to defend himself how he wants

or he knows this impeachment trial will go nowhere and is saving money to pay Rudy

He's likely going to talk at hearing and I know when he was president they didn't want him to

if he does speak in front of senate, this will be his first appearance since inauguration right?
