Mother and a Patriot, Liz Cheney speaks.
well, whoever had this on their Impeachment Bingo Card, collect your winnings!
No. 3 House Republican Liz Cheney says she will vote to impeach Trump
“The President of the United States summoned his mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing … There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. I will vote to impeach the President.”
UPDATE 1: NYTimes –
“Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has told associates he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party.”
I guess ampy be-chinned #MoscowMitch has no further use for this chump, and like Putin, he realizes that there’s nothing to be gained by offering Lord Damp Nut refuge.
😮

Gonna be fun to watch the MAGAts turning on EvilYertle like they did on Miss Lindsey and Mikey Prance-a-lot.
Purging trump would mean kicking their base to the curb, and they’re not gonna stand for that. Wattya think, that they’re Democrats???
Sorry #MoscowMitch, the Party is Trump now; even if you get rid of the person, it’s still the cult of trump. The monster you raised up has eaten your party from the inside. All we’re waiting for now is to see if you and your fellow R’s decide to fight or say ‘Fuck it’, go with the flow and start committing real atrocities.
( because…in the wise words of BTO: “You ain’t seen nothing yet…”)

trump is in no way the end of this, just the beginning.

Wasn’t it just yesterday that Yertle McTurdhole was saying it’s impossible to recall the Senate for the trial portion of the impeachment before Jan 19th? And didn’t they call a special session to ram through Amy C. B., and were able to confirm her in a week?
I guess different actions rely on wildly different timetables…

One would have to teach them to read first, then understand context and be able to feel for others. Wasted effort.

5 Quats (large) says that not one person has mentioned this development to LDN’s face. He’s going to hear it (eventually) on FAUX or cetera.

So McConnell has called the Senate back before the 19th, right?
Right?

What, you think MM means he’ll allow the impeach vote to come to the floor? He didn’t say that, he said it would make it easier to kick Trump out of the GOP.

Y’know what would be cool?
If LDN made a nationally broadcast appearance from the balcony at the Whitehouse in faux military regalia complete with epaulets denouncing the illegal votes in all fifty states.

Surely Deutsche Bank’s severing ties with the Orange Kraken has nothing to do with these political maneuvers. Or, surely large corporations pulling political contributions to all those republicans who voted in favor of the coup after the coup attempt has nothing whatsoever to do with these principled conservative decisions. And lastly, surely the Neo-Cons are not pissed at what Trump has done to their glorious monster. Shirley?
