NYT Says: Mitch McConnel said he would Vote to Impeachment of Trump. Mitch says it's a Lie

When would you enter the Capitol without following proper protocol? What words would it take for you–or the average person–to either break a window or to enter in through a broken window?

If a leader that I trusted told me there was widespread abuse and unconstitutional meddling going on…might do it.

How about you?

[conan]

Is that a problem?

Old saying from my neck of the woods…you might have heard it yourself.

What goes around comes around.

@conan

Just like forum libs here thought 2016 election was rigged, fraudulent and stolen…right?

Hell libs here still couldn’t accept Trump as pres. What comes around goes around.

I don’t remember that. Couple of extreme wackos calling it stolen maybe, but importantly HRC never once did and Obama invited Trump to the WH like the very next day.

So leadership wasn’t perpetuating any nonsense.

"Together we are determined to defend and preserve government of the people, by the people and for the people,” Trump said, adding that “we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” -President Trump Jan.8th, 2021

[SeaManatee]

He meant fight like hell meaning go out and vote on November 3rd. It’s a time travel thing.

The republican motto.

[Meriweather]

@tnt

Why did they decide that?

because they were told the election was being stolen, that it was fraudulant.

That’s enough right there.

The entire nation heard that. How many broke into the Capitol?

Question: What would cause you to break into the Capitol? And, if you did, who should be punished for your actions?

[conan]

No…they just used government bureaucrats to do it from within.

Nope. I already know there is widespread abuse from those in power. Yet I never stormed Nixon’s White House or the Town Hall when it took place there. Why? Same reason I never robbed anyone when I was reduced to eating oatmeal for two weeks straight. Personal responsibility.

Never called for an Impeachment either, mainly because whenever I’ve seen it, it has appeared to be a loophole for Overreach (if not abuse) of power.

Your turn. Ever abuse your power?

Yes. And to me that means I do not sit at home and forego the next election. What do words like that mean to you, personally? Do you take them to mean you should immediately get up and go break into the closest government building?

huh?

An entire world of Muslims heard AQ tell them the west must fall. But only 12 did something about it.

N big deal then?

I’m not sure what you are arguing here.

Because you didn’t storm the white house because nixon ordered a break in, it’s not worth standing together to denounce those who in fact DID respond to lies about our election and invaded the capitol?

[Meriweather]

@SeaManatee

Possibly he meant we should continue to look into the methodology on how we conduct fair elections with no irregularities. Something besides losing caught the President’s attention about this election. Caught mine, too–just didn’t see enough that would change the result.

That’s swell and all, but to thousands of people who heard them, it means, go get that bitch Nancy Pelosi, and also, hang the Vice President.

So…that’s what matters here.

No!

We know he didn’t mean that. Because he didn’t SAY THAT.

There’s also no Trumpsplaining y’all’s way out of this either.

Were the twelve who took action caught and punished?

What do we do about others just happen to agree that the West must fall? Are they allowed their assessment/opinion, or should all such voices (opinions/assessments) be choked out?

[hwyflier]

Fresh from Republican mega-donor, (Home-Depot) Ken Langone:

“I think the biggest mistake anybody is going to make is try and rationalize what happened last week, what the president did and what that crowd did,” Langone said on Squawk Box “There should be no mitigation at all. It was horrible. It was wrong. I’m shocked.”

That’s the stuff Mitch cares about.

They are all dead.

If a muslim inspired a riot with speech that led to breaking into the capitol, they should be punished.

Once again, private industry doing better than the GOP in facing reality.

Good for this guy.

■■■■ Home Depot, but good for this guy for saying this.
