Missouri's Senator Josh Hawley Gets More Media

And thank goodness. We can never forget the January 6 treasonous, traitorous, killing insurrection and attack on our nation's Capitol.

What Gives Me Hope

This is, of course, what's happening to the GOP, the Republican Party presently and it's from the inside. They're doing it to themselves.

I just hope they collapse before they bring down the nation.

Things You Think You Know

I was sure, once Richard Nixon was gone, that Republicans had done their worst and we would never again, at least in my lifetime, ever do as badly as that man in the White House again.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

It's the Republican Party vs the United States and Democracy

What I've thought and said for some time. It's either the Republican Party or our United States of America, no overstatement. Understand, Americans, the Republicans and their political party are attacking our vote, our votes, our elections and our democracy. Doanld Trump, his followers and Mitch McConnell and their political party cannot win.

Missourians, I Give You Senator Josh Hawley

And please keep in mind, folks, these videos were created by fellow members of the Republican Party. More. We must, must vote this man out of office, Missourians.

Missouri's Senator Josh Hawley, From Republicans

Ladies and gentlemen, Missouri's own demagoguing Republican Party Senator Joshua, Josh, Hawley. Note that it's from fellow Republicans. Let's vote him out, fellow Missourians. Vote him out. We must. For our state, sure, but for the nation, too, no exaggeration.

Three Months Ago Today

Never forget.

We must never forget.

Quote of the Day -- Where We Are Now Edition

"It's so depressing that Donald Trump can incite a violent insurrection and mismanage a pandemic catastrophically in ways that destroy countless lives and livelihoods, but then GOP voter loyalty remains unwavering because they get truly fired up about Dr. Seuss & Mr. Potato Head." --Brian Klaas @brianklaas

Quote of the Day -- Insane Republican Party Edition

"From 9/11 truthers to Barack Obama birthers to 2020 Election liars to January 6th deniers. Ugh." --Bill Kristol @BillKristol Thanks, Republicans!

Important Quote of the Day

"If confirmed, I will supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol on January 6, a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy."

--Judge Merrick Garland, today, in his opening remarks before the Senate Judiciary in his testimony to become our nation's next Attorney General.

To which I and a lot of us out here can only say kudos and thank you, sir. Let's do this.

Quote of the Day -- On This Impeachment

Republican Liz Cheney on this impeachment trial.

"On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic.

Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. 

Everything that followed was his doing. 

None of this would have happened without the President. 

The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. 

He did not. 

There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution."

A Question for All Republican US Senators Just Now

 

How could you, as a US Senator, Democrat or Republican, sit in the Senate chambers--that were just attacked January 6--and listen to the evidence on both sides of this impeachment trial, knowing you yourself had to take cover and hide from the insurrectionist attackers, and then vote that Donald J Trump didn't incite them, invite them to do so, time and again, even that very morning of January 6, right there in Washington, on video?

Political power for your political party and for yourself is that much more important? 

More important even than your own safety, which was threatened that day? 

More important than your nation's safety? 

And election?

Really?
