Aftermath of the Capitol Attack

I agree with what you say about Romney. If he had run against Biden, or even Hillary back in 2016, I'd have had to think long and hard about voting for a GOPer ....
But now chances are pretty slim for any GOPer votes from me, at least for a few presidential cycles.

a couple of days ago, i read not new version of republicans, that could divide the republicans in two parties. in 2024, they could merge in a stronger republican party.

both parties had one leader presentative in each parties as president and vice president candidates in 2024. the republicans stronger for years against democrats.

both democrats and republicans had better leadership and use more common sense in organizate better the congress wouldn't be soo embarrassing to american public.

The GOP got taken over by the Neo Con faction. For decades they have taken the Republican party, and our nation, on a strange, dangerous and destructive journey.

Wouldn't it be great if both parties were pretty cool? How about 3, 4 or even 5 parties represented in government?

I can think of some Republicans I like and have respect for
Colin Powell
Arnold Schwartzenegger
Sonny Bono

John McCain - without Sarah-girl
John Kasich
Mike Dewine

Yes they're out there, but they aren't the ones getting the headlines.

A few years ago Cruz may have made that list, but with his latest antics, he's fallen in the dumpster.

The face and and image of the GOP is the orange maniac and the turtle, and the carousel of cronies.

The Lincoln Project has said they are fully focused on not letting any trump loyalists from getting re-elected in 2022 and 2024 and they have already been working on it now that they've finished their 'get Trump out' project has ended.

Maybe they will set the Republicans straight but they said it will take years to do that.

The GOP will not recover until Mitch, Graham and Cruz are gone.

I would add Marco "baby face" Rubio and Rand "I'm a nut bag" Paul to the list, but they really aren't that influential.

With the impeachment trial for Trump set to begin February 9, Senate Republicans are criticizing him without doing anything about his actions, hoping to put distance between themselves and the former President without casting any votes that could cause a backlash from Trump and his fervent supporters. Many say something should be done about what Trump did -- but just not by them.

While other responsible companies and law enforcement are firing participants in the riots, the GOPers are saying "Not my job" to punish one of their own (unless it were a Dem ... huh?)

If Republicans think they can play both fields at once now, then they're sure gonna be in a hell of a spot later. If they choose to do nothing then the only recourse one could conceivably take against Trump that I can think of would be an incitement charge or maybe a reckless endangerment charge?

Either way, from my limited understanding, those two routes have always seemed to be 'murky ground' and difficult to prove when talking about political activism (or riots/insurrection). Assuming that it even makes it this far, we either arrest Trump (which will absolutely set off his base and until the Republicans stop eating themselves, I don't even want to guess which way the wind will blow in that case), or we end up saying that such rhetoric is not legally an issue (in which case we, at best, should expect more of the same rhetoric coming down the pipeline and at worst embolden all of this rhetoric to get even worse).

Of course the alternative to this scenario is not much better because even if the Dems impeach Trump again with no Rep support the main result of that will be another ratcheting up of rhetoric again anyways as everyone fights over legitimacy, because the Reps rose this spectre and it's not going away. Just like the spectres of Benghazi and emails never went away. The Reps keep saying 'oh well just investigate it, that's all we're asking for' and yet the spectres they raised earlier weren't vanquished with the numerous investigations that were made, and I HIGHLY doubt that this one would be any different.

According to former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund "The entire intelligence community missed signs of the riot" ABC News . I have news for you, the intelligence community doesn't miss anything. They know what your favorite toilet paper brand is. They definitely did not miss signs of a riot.

The intelligence community couldn't care less about your personal hygiene habits. Even with super computers using algorithms there aren't enough intel personnel to pay attention to the vast majority of Americans... and the paper work to get permission to stalk citizens isn't worth it.

Now big corporations that want to manipulate you out of your money... they climbed up your anus and set up shop there years ago.

Trump's DC hotel is hiking prices for March 4 - the day QAnon followers think the former president will be sworn in
On January 5 and 6, Trump International raised its rates significantly. The cheapest room available was $8,000 on the night of the deadly insurrection, according to Forbes' reporter Suzanne Rowan Kelleher.

On January 7, the hotel's managing director shared that the Capitol siege's week was one of "record-breaking" numbers.

I wonder if Putin and Lil' Kim are invited!?

they came there, because there is big sale at k-mart and walmalt for white pillow cases.

What the hell makes them think Trump will be sworn in as president on March 4th?

QAnon.

Does the price of $1331 a night include a full English breakfast?
