    Not laughable or pathetic, they are not giving money to those who do not represent their thinking and political viewpoint.

    Are you also calling for the resignation of the Democrats who tried to stop Trump from taking office?

    No room for humor in politics, I guess.

    I would be calling for the resignation of Lindsey Graham. A bit over 4 years ago my favorite Republican Senator because of his consistency. Now one of the worst clowns in the government who one day calls Trump a "kook", then he denies it and becomes one of his most servile minions, then he says he's "done with Trump", now he calls for his colleagues to oppose impeachment....

    Exactly the opposite of what he once was. I assume he wants to replace McConnell as the head unpatriotic opportunist.

    They tried to pervert the process with the backing of a violent mob.

    I will make it simple for you.

    There were three distinct groups in Washington on January 6. Of course there were more, but these are the ones which are most important for this discussion.

    One. There was congress whose mission was to count electoral votes. Part of that process was to determine whether all those votes were legal.

    Two. There was a huge group of peaceful protesters.

    Three. There was a large group of criminals who destroyed, killed and/or invaded our nations Capitol. Only this group violated the law.

    There is no reason why he cannot hold all of those positions for very different reasons. That is what reasoning civilized people do.

    On one thread you are moralizing over a singer showing too much skin, and here you are sugar coating an attempted coup by violent right wing elements and their encouragers and enablers.

    I am capable of more thoughts than one.

    How about discounting what I said?

    Objecting to electors who were not legally seated is part of the process. The constitution is clear in stating that the state legislatures determine how electors are selected. 7 state legislatures did not believe their laws were followed.
    In terms of the attack, it was led by ANTIFA Democrats who included skilled Agent Provocateurs who urged some people from the Trump rally to join them. A few wrongfully did.
    Here is eye witness observation from a war correspondent who knew what he was watching happen at the capitol.

    I'm going to start a petition to have Brown recalled. His incendiary language didn't even invoke the word "peacefully". In addition, he votes almost 100% with Schumer for the benefit of NY as opposed to voting to benefit Ohioans who have nothing in common with Schumerans.
    Not only has he stolen representation from Ohio, now he wants to deny Texas and Missouri the level of representation they deserve.

    It's almost as bad as when Democrats automated the theft of the 2020 election.

    Reminds me of when 10 Democrats wrote a bot that threatened Rush Limbaugh's sponsors. Dorsey helped the 10 human outliers appear to be thousands of normal people ,,, a monstrous task. Rush sniffed it out and identified the criminals. Not unlike the outliers Rush dealt with, Democrats have painted elector objections as unique to the GOP and 2020. In fact, it's the MO of Democrats. From 2016,
    Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.) protested Alabama’s electoral votes
    Jackson Lee objected to Michigan’s votes
    Jackson Lee objected to South Carolina’s vote
    Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin and
    Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva
    Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) joined Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones to contest the Ohio electoral votes
    “Is there one United States senator who will join me?” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), after the electoral votes for Wyoming, the final state, were read aloud.
    House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters ahead of the session that she supported the rationale of the protesting lawmakers
    https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/no-trump-electoral-college-challenge-233294

    Democrats also objected in 2001 and 2005.

    How about the hypocrisy and the duplicity on your side? One can smell the stench like a mountain outhouse on a hot summer day. The daily protests in Portland were peaceful and most people were home by sun down. At night, the anarchists would come out and fight with the police. Yet right wing media, often in hate-filled racist tones, presented it as if all the protests were nothing but as those few who came out at night.

    You are fooling no one here. The Trump clearly lost the election. Even the officials in his own government have claimed the elections were certifiably the cleanest ever. A lot of this has to do with increasing concerns over election security, from without and from within. State after state took steps to ensure the integrity of their voting systems. States like Georgia were under a microscope after voting irregularities in the election of 2018.

    The whole purpose of the rally on January the sixth was based on the silliness that somehow the election had been stolen. It is all BS. As one reporter put it, after interviewing protestors, “a sea of misinformation, turned violent”. The idea was to “stop the steal”. This was the last opportunity for the Trump to hang onto power. The protestors were there to pressure Congress to do, what was not right. They wanted to force Congress to declare the Trump the winner, even though it clearly lost.

    From the reports coming out, members of Congress were lucky that they were ushered out of the way in the nick of time. Otherwise this insurrection could have turned more ugly.

    Both were duly elected. I think it's up to the people of their state whether they remain senators representing their state or not. That a partisan senator from the other party shouldn't have a say in who the people of Missouri and Texas can have or can't have to send to Washington to represent them.

    I do have a problem with someone from Ohio trying to dictate to the people of Missouri and Texas who they can have or can't have as their senator. If the offenses committed by both are severe enough, they can be recalled by the people of Missouri and Texas and another election for senator in those two states held. This should be left to the people of Missouri and Texas, not someone from Ohio to decide.

    And to think the guy in the video says this all with a straight face. Makes me wonder if the frequent skips were when he had to break character and let out a good laugh.

    On the other hand he makes the Trumpian crowd seem like a bunch of non-thinking followers. Is that all it takes? Antifa’s crack team leading them over a cliff.

    But officer, you can’t blame me for stealing that beer. The antifa said I could take it. I told them it was wrong, but they were just too persuasive, and that beer was soooo tempting. And besides, everyone else was stealing one too. It’s not my fault.

    I agree with you. He is a typical swamp member. The senate wouldn't miss him.

    I can definitely see why you would consider it reasonable.

    Have you ever read a little known document that is affectionately called the Constitution of the United States of America? Right there in Article I, Section 5, it says,

    “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.”

    My reasoning is wrong only if you believe that a person should only hold one belief on a subject and that is what is wrong with your world.

    Cruz being ruined politically would be good news.
