    1. @Johnny Boy Liz Cheney and the other 9 voting in favour today for impeachment are bringing the Party back to the Bush / Cheney Republicans. Wonder which Bush will run in 2024.

    2. @Johnny Irenchi it will take alot for the republican party to heal. It is the republicans, specifically the trumpists, that need to heal from their stupidity not americans as a whole.

    1. Once again impeachment is the best thing Trump ever received
      1/12/21
      President Trumps popularity is SURGING!
      The Rasmussen Reports ‘daily’ Presidential Tracking Poll, for Monday shows that a staggering 49% of Likely U.S. Voters APPROVE of President Trump’s job performance.

      Fifty-one percent (50%) disapprove.
      WOW!
      Impeachment once again is Backfiring!

  2. They “Defecated in halls of the capitol” Not only are these Q group crazy, but are not even house broken.

    1. @Theorem obviously you didn’t see the one where all the A holes were marching in saying F antifa, or the shirts of all the MAGA beating the cops right with a American flag no less. You are inept get it threw your head ok idgaf about antifa of maga but STOP FKN LYING

  3. The various Republicans who have gone on TV and said that impeachment would get in the way of Biden’s calls for “unity” make me sick to my stomach. Of course the people who supported a failed fascist coup want to move on.

    1. there no unity it civil war. the hatred the dem rep courts state leader showed the true colors what they think about american people.f….trump f.. pelosi and rest.war is how power is won

  4. The GOP enabled this lunatic, never ever forget. They play surprised and shocked, but this was bound to happen. Disgraceful.

    1. When Trump and his brethren strain credulity, test the elasticity of the Constitution, and ignore decorum and decency, it is patriotism and honorable. If a Democrat even thinks about doing any of those things, they are traitors, treasonous and worthy of hanging.

    2. Republicans opposing impeachment on the grounds of dividing the Nation might want to look at the soldiers sleeping in the Capital building lol.

    1. @Craig Barker Neo Hi, hey there! Europe says hello. We wonder how you’re doing. Please seek therapy, you sound a bit unhinged. Bless your soul.

    2. Hitler was also a Psychopath. Putin is also a Psychopath. Kim Jong Un is also a Psychopath. Fidel Castro is also a Psychopath. Charles Manson was also a Psychopath. Jeffrey Dahmer was also a Psychopath.

    3. Your knowledge is very very small, unfortunately. You have no idea who was Hitler – by the way – Hitler was supported financially by US corporations (proved by historicians).

    1. House passed a rule last night that everyone on the floor must wear a mask or get a $500 fine per occurance.

    2. @Steecie LuvsGs This answers what they do when they literally have to put their money where their mouth is. 500 dollar is tip money for these people but seemingly it is enough to convince them that wearing a mask not such a big deal.

    3. I think it’s what Joe Biden is going to enforce – people wear masks and adhere to social distancing in public domains. He’ll be making it mandatory. Unlike Donald Trump and his clowns who gave mixed messages – encouraging people to wear face masks and then saying that it was your choice whether you wore them or not. Joe Biden has a more consistent approach and has voiced this from the onset.

    1. @Sean Shea I had nothing to do with what went on there in Capitol Hill. And wow, thanks for calling me a “disgusting person”. I thought your party was supposed to be about love, and loving everyone. You’re supposed to be “tolerant”.

    2. @Hudson Donald Yeah these people claiming to be “anti fascist” are the ones trying to spread fascism. The irony is unreal

    3. John Coleman Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy were given more due process than President Trump. All rules of Impeachment discarded.

  5. I just called my Representative, Kevin Mccarthy, he’s not answering, voicemail is full, website has no contact info, what’s up Kevin? You hiding? I’ve contacted you before.

    1. @Rob Blues If you think CNN viewers are sheep, check out the low IQ demographic Faux News gets. Those ignoramuses believe in Quanon and conspiracy theories. They do nothing but wear tinfoil hats and spew ignorance.

    1. well cut him some slack man he probably hears names all day long and it was a totally innocent mistake. They gotta remember LOTS of new stuff every day.

    2. I mean he was proud to admit to shamelessly using the life and memory of the fallen soldiers in Benghazi as nothing more than props to stain a member of the opposition. He should have lost his job back then. The fact that he speaks for the house gop is a testament to hypocrisy, stupidity, and fake patriotism that is the mainstay of this destructive party.

    1. Bingo. He is a snake. Just take a look at his record on video. His nastiness toward the media belies his call.

  6. Kevin McCarthy, your words are absolutely “sickening”…. you enabled trump, this will never be forgotten…

    1. Is there any reason why KEVIN McCarthy not be ARRESTED? He has been an ENABLER OF DONALD TRUMP.!!!!! HE TOO CONTRIBUTED TO WHAT HAPPENED ON THE CAPITOL ON JAN.6TH 2021. He never advised DONALD TRUMP TO STOP.!!!. We only hear him when action is taken based on ACCOUNTABILITIES. WHAT OAT DID HE TAKE IN SERVICE TO WHOEVER SENT HIM?. HIS OAT IS TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP!!. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED WITH 14 th AMEMDAMENT. WE, AMERICANS DON’T NEED HIM & HIS POLITICS ANYMORE.!!!

  7. Republicans talking about dividing the nation when they have spent 4 years attacking anyone that didn’t support trump is extreme hypocrisy.

    1. “Let’s join hands now and sing kumbaya. The country is *too divided* for us to even talk consequences. Because that is the culprit here: Consequences!!! Not the actions, the violence, the rhetorics, the hatred, the rallying, the killings, the murders, the attacks, the corruption, the slander, the lies. It’s the want for action and consequences that will divide [fragile] America,..”
      *Ladies and gentlemen, the GOP.*

  8. _”I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and not lose a single vote.”_ -Donald J. Trump 2016 (Leader of the “law and order party”) …He was not joking at all.
