All of it was out in the open. We can stop pretending that this is all "chilling" and news. We saw it happening in real time. Just because reporters and Trumpies went along with the charade doesn't mean it wasn't completely transparent while it happened.

No quarter.

The military has been put to the test by traitors and white supremacists. Infiltrated for decades by radical fascists and Evangelicals. What a mess. Same with the FBI. I'm guessing the Russians have agents everywhere. All of these agencies need to take a good look at everyone, including leadership.

Having a Lt. General involved in the Capitol sedition event, regardless of what that "involvement" entailed? Yeah, bad optics, especially since his brother was pardoned for lying to the FBI during the Russia scandal. Nepotism isn't a good look when traitors are involved.

Russia isn't even a country. Trump and the Republicans told us so. Fake news.

How long before his eviction from Mar a Lago passes through the legal system? He can't live there. Gather that list of non-extradition countries and play along, it'll be interesting to watch what happens next.

From American Carnage to American Unity.

If you look up on that stage, you see the diversity of America.

The significance of having a woman of Puerto Rican descent sing at the Inauguration was not lost on me.

I'm happy that the Orange Menace didn't ruin it by schitting his pants during the ceremony.

This country needs accountability. And justice. Unity is going to be a struggle. Lots of bridges in need of repair.

I'd be happy with a frog march.

Ironically, this will have minimal impact on Trump supporters, who, for the most part, do not have the means to enjoy such pastimes as golf, country clubs or ice skating.

Nobody gets impeached as great as me. You're going to see impeachment like you've never seen before.

Yet another one of his unpresidented accomplishments - the only president in modern history to never poll over 50%.

Heckuva job, Trumpie!

Darrell Issa is making the case for impeachment, thinking he's making the case against impeachment.

Glad to have the sedition caucus self-identifying in this, though.

The point of winning is to win, not to let the opposition back in the game to beat you some other way.

Let the fascists get away with it and 5-10 years from now, they'll all be putting Democrats into jails and graves.

Can't just let them off easy. Damn the procedural Bllusiht.

They should be tired of being lied to...it leads them to doing stupid $4!+ like this. He stole his own freedom and liberty by being a traitor against the country he claims to love.

No quarter.

Also, too, #1, #2 and #3 in the line of presidential succession were in the same place when this thing started, and at least a few further down the list have resigned. Not for nothing...

Anyone laying odds that the CCTV cameras weren't recording the whole time, or that the data storage was damaged mysteriously?

Every USCP officer who aided and abetted the breach is on camera somewhere. Some of them took selfies.

Hopping in here to offer this 2 cents:

I don't consider it a failed coup, I consider it a practice run. It was very successful in advancing Putin's objectives, in the very least.

MAGA cop killers? Say it ain't so!

Guess those blue lives matter except when MAGAts kill them in the name of fake news.

As usual, Republicans don't care unless it happens to them. The Republican members of Congress who have now "changed their minds" only did so because they were attacked yesterday. Republican sociopathy rule #1: it's only a bad thing when it happens to you, personally.

Roll out the water cannons for these lawless thugs.

LOL

When you dig that hole so deep that nobody hears you any more, I hope you still feel as right about everything as you do now.

Pelosi is easily the best Speaker I've seen in my lifetime.

Personally, I want them to open up the books, remove all redactions and declassify the evidence, enforce the subpoenas that were ignored and put some people in prison. It's looking like we will have a new Senate majority leader. But part of the problem is that we still have Blue Dogs and red state Democrats, so we need people as skilled as Pelosi to navigate those waters.

The insanity caucus is already powerful. QAnon resides in Congress.

As for your responses to my comments, SPEAK, it is clear that you don't want to hear a different point of view, you continue to make claims that are so wrapped in your own political goggles that you just can't listen to anyone else. And some of those people are actually on your side.

Win first. Then have the talk about change from within. Sitting on the outside, bitching about how Pelosi isn't giving you the pony you deserve is a lot harder when you're not in power. We won the presidency back. If we get the Senate, too, then swing for the fences, you'll finally have some leverage and the actual power structure to make it happen.

And your pathetic acceptance of sellout democrat status quo is why republicans have dominated policy for decades and will own the supreme court for generations.

No, political purists who protested Hillary Clinton and gave the presidency to Donald J. Trump are the reason the Supreme Court is now dominated by conservatives. Those of us who would rather have a Democrat make those nominations were accosted as being corporatist sellouts, no different from Republicans and not true progressives. We tried to warn you, but you were stuck on believing 25 years of lies about the Clintons over actually, you know, winning. I was there, too.

You think a conviction is all that matters? No.

You don't think the history books and voters deserve to know what trump did? I don't even know where that's coming from, but no, that's not what I think.

And do you really think moderate healer biden is going to aggressively investigate and prosecute trump? Biden has already stated he's not interested in prosecuting or investigating Trump. His AG will have to decide, as it should be. That's not his job. Congress can, and should, investigate, too.

Keep dreaming. Always, do!

He's going to "move forward" and "heal together" and "leave it up to the DOJ" who won't do crap. Maybe. That's why I left it open. If that happens, feel free to say you were right. I hope we don't go down this path, but it's a definite possibility.

The impeachment investigation was dems' best chance to show the world how widespread and absolute trump's corruption was, but pelosi decided we didn't deserve to know. Meh, we watched different impeachment hearings, and news. I thought the corruption, although targeted narrowly in the impeachment hearings, was pretty transparent. Pelosi didn't actively prevent anyone from knowing what was going on, she just herded that cat. Maybe you should focus your anger at House and Senate Republicans, where it belongs.

Pelosi chose to limit the investigation to the ukraine phone call, instead of using her power to expose everything she could about trump.

That was a smart move. Kept the pardon power away from his real crimes, which will be exposed fortwith. If you're not going to get a conviction in the Senate, despite the SLAM DUNK, then it really did not matter what else they tacked onto the list. Now, those crimes can be addressed. Your point will be made when they choose to "look forward, not back" after January 20th, though...so there's still time for Pelosi to blow it.

Who was second place?

From what I've read, she is not seeking re-election, so this is her last hurrah, as both a Rep and as Speaker. I'm OK with her staying on for now, change is imminent. For those who are pissed at her for not being "Progressive enough," the hard reality is that there are a lot of Blue Dogs in Red States that aren't on board with progressive politics. It's a lesson progressive Democrats appear to need to learn repeatedly...the only way you get your ideas to come to fruition is if you actually win first. Those seats we lost in the House were in states that rejected progressivism, so stop blaming Pelosi for it.

All that said, I'm glad this is her last term. We need new blood.

I sure hope every R-leaning Independent and every Republican in Georgia listens to him and stays home on Tuesday. Good GOP patriots, for the good of the country...don't vote in this sham election!
