Of course all the Democrats are voting their conscience.

Nah. If anything it shows that Trump intended it to be peaceful.

But your TDS won't allow you to see that.

You may start screeching now.

I don’t think he wanted or foresaw the violence (pure conjecture).

But failure to see this as a reasonably possible outcome - given his rhetoric and actions - reflects poorly on his decision making.

My thinking also.

It's a shame that justice cannot prevail because someone has so many constituents.

When the vote is along party lines, justice is not really part of the consideration

@Jolly , how do you like Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) now? He voted “yea” for the impeachment trial to move forward. That’s a new “yea” from Senate Republicans to move the impeachment trial along.

Dr. Cassidy will vote no, come time for the impeachment vote. I know he's not running again, but they'd burn his home down if he voted yes.

It's a shame that justice cannot prevail because someone has so many constituents. It's a shame that a your average congressman votes, not with his conscience, but with the thought of how many voters will turn on him and hurt his reelection chances. Congress is dysfunctional.

Justice left Washington in 2016.

That's not the whole story. It has for some time been the case that Congressmen often receive physical threats and, more key, physical threats against their families, from disgruntled morons on social media. Now that we've been treated to some of these celebrants invading the US Capitol and waving guns around and screaming 'where is she!', that's easier to believe, isn't it?

Missed that part. Who was waving guns?

[Mik]

I believe that was the Secret Service.

@jolly said in Disturbing video of Magat Vermin:

Who was waving guns?

My mistake; it was law enforcement.

[George K]

@jolly said in Disturbing video of Magat Vermin:

Who was waving shooting guns?

Yeah, that was an unarmed protestor rioter who got shot in the neck.

Somehow, that's being glossed over. What if this had been a club-waving Antifa creep in Portland who got shot by a cop?

Can you imagine? It would be news 24/7 for a week.

But, this, like James Hodgkinson, gets airbrushed out of the narrative.

[Catseye3]

Jolly was right to correct me. It's my kind of error that gets jumped on and repeated all over the place, and possibly causing awful damage.

I got my cops and robbers mixed up.

Yeah, let's not gloss over that if it weren't for Trump's incitement, the riot would not have happened and that person would not have been shot and would still be alive.

Yeah, she never knew what hit her...

And you would have no problem if a group of his constituents burned his house down?

Just curious.

Poll: 69 percent of Republicans are less likely to vote for a senator who convicts Trump

Yep. We're all sick of your shit.

Another big one is the lie about the officer being killed by being bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher.

Didn't happen.

[jon-nyc]

@jolly My understanding is it happened, it just wasn't the fatal blow.

Even more, a lie is a lie

The officer is dead, he was certainly not beaten to death with a fire extinguisher

But that lie continues to be told by democrats in congress

Because a few dooffesses taking selfies is not an insurrection, so the lies must be told
