    1. His political career is over no matter what.he chooses, one side will praise and one will condemn. In the interest of justice he should do it, but he’s too much of a coward to go against daddy.

    2. no, he did the wrong thing. he said “reject any illegal vote, counted legal vote”, next day , he proved the illegal count. traitor.

    3. Had the cultists caught Pence they would have executed him. The noose was ready. Trump threw him under the bus. Do you honestly think Trump would give a hoot about Pence if he could remain in power?

    4. When Trump publicly bashed Pence on tv and Twitter,I think that was the end of their friendship.
      It’s Pence turn to throw the bus!!!

    1. @Big Igloo 86 yes why the media didnt do emotional like this when all the us soldiers died in iraq? Why didnt people say bush and biden of blood on they hands.. people all so easy to manipulate by media

    1. @Brian Nave He was also a Criminal, same as the others, You do the Crime you do the Time.
      It’s not left it’s not right, it is an american citizen who has decided to break the law by entering a restricted area, while in session, and should consider himself luck to her alive. If the Capital Police were prepared and did their job, not one of these criminals would have left the building alive.

    2. @Brian Nave of coarse you would post your conspiracy sites. I’m not interested in that bull shi*. I looked and researched your site far right wing propaganda. Nice try tho.

    3. He’ll never run for office again. Odds are he’ll be so tied down with litigation against him over the next 4 years that his health deteriorates because of the stress and he goes downhill. Much like it did to Weinstein.
      What I’m worried about is his sycophants and family members like Don Jr. running. Or other far right extremists. This is an issue that has already plagued Europe. The second most popular party in Germany is an alt-right party. It’s been spreading in Scandinavia (Norway was the first gunshot where a far right extremist in 2011 killed something like 66 women and children because he “Wanted to stop the future Liberals”), the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, etc. And the Republican party will allow this because they see the writing on the wall. The fragmentation of their party where you have a more traditional conservative branch that believes in small government and the constitution, and the extreme Trumpists.

  1. Any Republican who stands in the way of holding Trump accountable is an apologist for a traitor against the country.

    1. @davematt2002 _Liberal_ Party? You mean like in Canada or Australia? Now you’re not even making sense. I’m going to assume that you _meant_ to say the Democratic Party, but even then you were attributing it to them but you can’t identify a single Democrat who said it. Here’s some advice: Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

    1. @davematt2002 Do you guys learn projection and obfuscation at Trump University???. My reply was to your “Apparently you can impeach the president based on a hearsay” statement. Trump’s attempteed court action was in reference to HIS HEARSAY that there was “widespread fraud”.
      All of us, over many years, have watched him and heard him spout blatant lies, fabrications and just plain, ordinary bullsh*t, exactly as he did with his hearsay crap of “widespread fraud”, which he nor any of his shyster mouthpieces could prove. You are wrong, I have not mentioned the word “coup”, so you know what you can do with your BS one-eyed comment.

    2. @davematt2002 I would jail him just for refusing to call the National Guard after the riot started. Pence had to to over his authority and call them in. That being said, Trump still supported the terrorists after they started their attack. Just check his comments. You’re just worried now that you know a Trumper will NEVER win the Presidency again, because the majority of America opposes your little cult. I fully expect you clowns to try something Jan. 20, and you’ll fail there too.

    3. @Scorpio K haha you’re full of lies. First of all, he didn’t ordered anyone to attack the capitol. Second, he didn’t cheer them after they ransacked the capitol. But it’s ok, keep believing your lies. Truth and being in the middle is my cult, unlike you and leftist cohorts.

    4. @davematt2002 everything I said was true, and you’re spewing BS if you say you’re “in the middle”. I notice you ignored the part where I said he should be jailed for refusing to call in the Guard. That action alone makes him a traitor. But hey, believe your BS. Trump will still be out of office on Jan. 20.

    5. @Scorpio K I ignored it coz I’m so sure you’re not a lawyer nor a constitutional scholar. It’s ok, at least he won and we have new 3 conservative justices, and he defeated Clinton 😄

    1. Let’s hope it’s actual punishment and misery, not just meaningless Senate hearings that go nowhere and a time out like a toddler.

    2. In Rudy’s defense, that actually was a valid part of the legal system centuries ago when he was merely a regular aged old man. When he was a child, they still threw virgins in volcanoes. It is sometimes hard for older people to adjust to a changing society.

    1. @Brian Nave One person claims hes not a Rump supported and your going to ignore all the rest….LOL…see what happens when your mother and father are brother and sister, no sense of reality or the bigger picture…..LOL

    2. @Foe of Faux Pho when your mother and father are sister and brother, you get a confused reality kid. That’s you…… LoL

  2. Trump in drive-thru:
    “You want fries with that?”
    “that’s a tough question. You didn’t ask Biden if he wanted fries. You’re a fake cashier. I’m Done here”

    1. @Mike Wagner Every theist is a walking, talking advertisement for rationality and the need for a secular government with separation of church and state.

    2. @Mike Wagner u sound like the 1000 am radio lol i bet u say a lot of stuff that has great points and meaning to it. Wrapping it in biblical flavor, but how does someone alluding to trump being unfit considered a blasphemy to the lord?

    3. @richard rojas greetings friend, if you are referring to my reply to allniteLemonade, it was based on previous conversations and past interactions with AllniteLemonade. It has nothing to do with his comments on Trump. Peace Richard enjoy your smoke….

    4. @Logic Police greetings friend. Proof of God, his acts, and interactions within time/space(creation) have been recorded from the beginning.. if you have an eye to see please see…. as for man reigning and governing over himself(!?) How has that worked out over the eons? Surely we’ll get it right this year, right? Shalom logic Police

  3. The Tea Party has completely taken over the GOP. They’re now Confederates and Nazis, they behave as such. They associate and emulate them. They obviously support the coup and should be tried as the traitors they are.

    1. Who knew that the Republicans refusing aid to people going homeless and hungry was just the “Tip” of the ice burg?
      When Mitch McConnell is the “Least Offensive” GOP member in Congress, we have a MAJOR ISSUE.

    1. There is a process to remove the president called impeachment. The 25th amendment was intended for presidents that fell ill or were incapacitated, not incompetent(Which trump is). Using this as an expedient method of removal sets a precedent that could be used in the future by others trying to exploit power.

    2. @Gaming Kanon Regrettably possible, but I’m willing to face that issue head on by clarifying, defining, and making certain the reasons on hand are evident to all.

      Anyone in the future who tries to exploit this would have a hard time – assuming we’ve become more sane and intelligent and critical and we’ve grown a spine by that point – short of a second riot overrunning the Capitol building.

    1. think it through, think hard, this is a test question, who determines if the social media comes for your toys, and would that be bad?

    2. Yup, not much in the way of FREEDOM in the US.
      The US is very much like China and Weibo, free speech is SHUT DOWN. I am not talking about Trump.
      Apparently saying ‘Elect a clown…Expect a circus’ on the CNN channel Gets your youtube channel closed down.
      Yup, that is America…land of the free – NOT.

    3. I worry he is a baby throwing a tantrum now, and will soon turn to his other “Toys”, the US Armed Forces,

    1. Trump must be removed. He will see non removal as victory and could run again. The hate, vitriol, lies, and civil unrest will renew. He is a clear and present danger to the nation.

    2. Crazy thing is, Bernie Sanders said “If they don’t want to vote for medicare for all, they are killing your grandmother”. Then multiple Republican senators are shot, then he almost wins the nomination for president. Why was that okay?

    1. @Steven Collier your “president” incited an armed insurrection. fortunately it failed. BLM PROTESTS to bring attention to decades and really centuries of police oppression of people of color. you support a traitor. we support actual freedom. remember, most of the violence this summer was started either by anarchists who have no connection with blm or actual trump supporting instigators. you people are traitors. repeat after me… traitors

    2. @Steven Collier Yeah, it’s a boogeyman. The term as you’re using it is a made-up construct, a pretty wide-ranging umbrella, that will cover “anybody who does not conform to our wishes” with the implicit excuse to use force to gain the desired complicity. There’s no real organization per se. Every time I ask someone complaining of this nebulous group to define it, they hem and haw but can never really answer. Last one I asked actually had the best answer yet: “Oh, I meant BLM.” Ah, I see. BLM is of course a real organization, but one for which there is no valid reason to use force against to “make” it conform to your wishes, as they are not a violent organization at all.

      So it’s been very convenient to use this non-existent group as an excuse to pummel someone who does not conform to your wishes, and excuse the behavior by saying, “He (or she) was antifa!”

      The outgoing president, after first sufficiently riling you all up to believe that your vote had been “stolen”, providing no actual evidence, encouraged everyone to “fight!” and “stop” this “steal”. His sidekick had already told you to have a “trial by combat”. Now you’re told to “fight” and “we’re going to go down to the Capitol, and I’ll be joining you there, and we’re going to stop this.” Well, he didn’t join you, because he knew better. He knew there was no “theft” to speak of, and he knew there was no legal standing at all to overturn the election results. He’s just trying to stay out of jail. But you people, though, you are expendable, and who knows? You might “succeed” and keep him out of jail. The reality is there is no legal means of overturning an election just because the result is not the one you wanted. He riled up the crowd and sent them on a fool’s errand doomed to fail. The only admonition I heard from him beforehand was, “don’t harm the police officers”. As though they all could just walk on down there and stop the proceedings, and nobody could stop them. Big surprise when they got resistance, huh? But this already riled crowd led to believe they had this “right” literally tried to take it by force.

      You’re right, no one in Washington is looking out for your interests, and that includes the goon who sent you down there. He’s only looking to save his own pitard. And he used you all as fodder to get what he wanted.
