  1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
    Now get rid of all the other unhinged crazy people trying to get into office!

  2. The Sad part is he knew he was wrong in the first place. And Should have never been on the ballet or running for anything.

    1. @Jessica Believe Jesus is Lord Oh, the Rapture? Better hide your house and car keys or when you go up, I’m going in and get it all.

    1. @J L Learn to read, it’s there for anyone who comes along to see for themselves. I said what it says, you said the opposite of what it says.

      If you’re only answer is going to be ‘nuh uh’, then I’ll just finish by again, saying, anyone who wants to know who is correct can simply go read it a few posts up.

    1. As a native New Mexican, I agree 100%. Especially after he and two other GOP commissioners declined to certify the results of the last June 7 primary,

  3. Finally! Now, I’m starting to think maybe our Constitution and laws may actually still work as they were supposed to. Now, let’s see… Where was Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry and where was Pa. Gov. candidate Doug Mastriano (and, more importantly what was their participation) on Jan. 6, 2021?

    1. They work. That was never in question. Democratic republic purrs like a fine tuned machine…we just haven’t found a suitable driver yet. Do you understand the meaning of hyper-velocity warp speed? The gop can’t withstand the GeForce.

  4. Pelosi and Schumer should remove several people in Congress and let that set a precedent about who or what branch of government can do this. The Judicial branch will not interfere with internal disciplinary actions in Congress.

    1. Let members of one party unilaterally remove those of another? How does one respond to that without breaking Godwin’s law?

      This kind of insanity is why I left the Democratic Party.

  5. “People say this was unprecedented? Well it’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put’em in a country club.”

    “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”
    — Liz Cheney

    1. @UberLummox Yes, she did, but it takes guts to do what “ANYBODY shoulda done” when there is so much at stake and has so much to lose as was in the case with Cheney.

  6. About damn time. Can only hope that’s a precedent for all the others who violated the 14th, and Trump should be 1st on the list as disqualified.

  7. A taxpayer paid government official insurrectionist. Yeah, that doesn’t seem right. All the taxpayer paid government official insurrectionist should be removed. This isn’t taking rights away or playing politics, it’s consequences for trying to overthrow democracy.

  8. I think it will come to a “torpedos be damned” scenario. The ethical members of Congress know this will be nessecary. Win or lose the process must start. What may be as important is to attach the names whom voted, publicize those names, and in some cases those that actively involved themselves in the inserection. And those whom did actively particapated in the events that led up to January 6th must be prosecuted!!

  10. 10:34 “Calm-thinking, rational people…” the problem is, it seems like they are few and far between. It seems like so many Americans don’t see anything wrong with overturning democracy in the name of patriotism. 🤦🏻

    1. That is because their education has Not given them Any understanding of what is meant or involved in the term “patriotism” ?
