   One member likes to keep the narrative about himself.  “Let’s talk about me!”
   Sorry, not interested.

   What a brave group of 10 Representatives! I have contributed to all of their campaign funds, as well as to concerned Senators, and the Republican Accountability Project which will protect these members of congress and will take on those who attack them.

   I, and I’d guess many others, don’t care about your virtue signaling over contributions. You’ve been known to throw money around willy nilly.

   And flip flopping to catch the prevailing wind is hardly brave. It’s easy.

   I invite you to also contribute.

   Nobody should ever give any money to any politician, ever.

   People should especially not give money to a politician that they are unable to vote for because they do not live in said politicians state/district.

   I contributed so many times yesterday and today using my debit card that my bank texted me and asked if I had been the person contributing all of this money to all of these different people!

   I guess you bought their vote.

   I’m less mad was impeached and more mad he’s the ONLY one to have been impeached twice.

   If we were serious about holding Presidents to their oath of office, impeachments would be routine.

   We’re not a very serious people anymore though.

    

   I’d argue the “anymore.”  A survey of the nation’s politics from 1966 to 1980 should convince anyone that Ronald Reagan was a miraculous respite from our petty silliness.  The last 20 years are just a full return to form.  You can find other long historical unserious spells without being all that cynical or industrious.  The only thing that ever saves us (contra well-meaning civics teachers) is that most of us pay more attention to living than Current Events.

   The remarkable thing about recent times is that the stakes for our imbecile Joan D’Arcs of every stripe have become so tiny.  The politics of Lilliput.  Which phrase probably indicates the seriousness level in politics worldwide has never been all that elevated.

   That said, do we really need more chances to run around with our dresses over our heads?  Things are jumping on the hysteria front as is without getting unglued over Presidential impeachment any more often than absolutely necessary.

   He’s president for seven more days. The House should show that they’re really interested in doing the peoples’ business and impeach him seven more times. If Nancy gets enough Botox, perhaps they could impeach him in the morning and the evening just to stay in practice.

   Wash, rinse, inject, impeach, repeat.

   The pandora’s box has been opened only to the degree of a President who whips up a crowd and sends them to invade the capitol, resulting in the death of a police officer

   I’m pretty sure that you’ll get your wish going forward. The biggest roadblock is votes in the House, so I’d assume that anytime we have a party division between the President and the House, impeachment is a possibility. The Dems have opened Pandora’s box.

   A pandora’s box has been opened only if a future president summons a crowd, whips them up into a fever pitch, and that crowd kills a police officer, invades the capitol and threatens the life of the Vice President and Speaker. I would assume that that won’t happen again.

   Since you had no problem voting for a President compromised by CCP members, I’m sure you have no objection to a House effort being managed by a member compromised by a CCP member. Totally un-American all of you.

   Well, now that we have been told that this “riot” was planned in advance, that reaffirms that there was no incitement (as if the timeline itself didn’t already prove that there was no incitement).

   Any of you so-called “conservatives” going to apologize for jumping to conclusions and demanding impeachment? Or are you going to do the Democrats’ bidding and double-down on your “incited a coup” nonsense?

   They’re prepared for this.  I’ve noticed that a fall-back narrative is in place, likely the result of the realization that accusing Trump of inciting the riot in the moment doesn’t hold water.  So let’s try something else.  Trump’s comments before Jan. 6 were incitement.   Don’t forget, he has no speech rights.
