Well I do not want him replaced in terms of WV. I want him replaced as senator number 50 absolutely though yeah.

Yeah honestly my perspective here is that if Dems could cobble together a different majority, I would have zero problems with Manchin losing his job. Past that point it would only matter if he created a supermajority and lol at that idea.

In the days before Trump supporters' attempted insurrection, the Department of Defense placed major limitations on the tactics, equipment, and resources the DC National Guard could make use of in dealing with protesters, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Pentagon officials sent memos on January 4 and January 5 banning DC guardsmen from receiving ammo and riot gear, engaging with protesters (except for self-defense), sharing equipment with local police, or using surveillance or air assets without explicit approval from Trump's acting Defense Secretary, Christopher Miller, according to the Post.

Damn I wish the government would keep this same energy with protests that aren't by fascists

How fucking utterly ridiculous. "We'll kill them and then demand a recount!" And then what happens when the fucking recount confirms the result that "your team" lost?

Ugh, I knew they would screw this up and not include a separate count for the Georgia phone call. Limiting it to this one count is a big mistake and it will go nowhere.

Not that it will go anywhere in the Senate, but this time they've actually pled a real crime committable by a president. Vastly better than those ridiculous abuse of power and obstruction of justice charges they tried last time.

Whats even more puzzling is the Articles of Impeachment even refer to the phone call, and state that Trump threatened consequences if they didnt find the votes in Georgia. Having already alleged that conduct, why not charge a count based on that conduct? It would be easier to prove and harder to defend than incitement of insurrection (which as pleaded requires proof that Trumps statements foreseeably resulted in what happened at the Capitol).

I'm sure that the Republicans would find some way to wriggle out of Trump's actions being a threat.

My guess is they're not including any charges for the Georgia call because they think/know that there is no chance that the Republicans would convict him for it. Getting the votes for removal is already a long shot, but adding in something about Georgia would make it easier for the GOP to declare the Democrats are going too far.

Oh, I agree they would try to wiggle out of any counts, no matter how clear cut. But this makes it easier for them to do that.

Im guessing the thought process was to let the weight of the incident at the Capitol speak for itself, and that its enough standing alone. And it should be, but thats giving the Republican senators too much credit to think theyll do the right thing this time.

I agree with Biden's point even if it's probably not one he intended to make

Them resigning changes nothing, they'll just get replaced by people like them.

What needs to happen is that the American people outright reject them and vote their asses out and anybody like them. Unfortunately, this won't happen.

I'm not just facepalming the caption, but the content of the speech which is basically "Republicans secretly tell me they want to work with me...the bad ones need to get voted out."

It's La La Land.

Literally nothing (overwhelmingly good) will get done, but we knew that. We might get COVID relief, but I'm not holding hope, but we're definitely gonna get a fat bipartisan "anti-terrorism" bill that will almost certainly be used against BLM and Leftist activists doing much less than sedition and attempted assassination.

First you need charges before you can even get there. What charges are you proposing?

They better not be something that sets a precedent that you can just throw your political opponents in jail.

Sedition isn't new

Sedition is a longstanding part of English common law which was roundly rejected in the United States, after the Adams administration used it against Jefferson supporters. It is the definition of something that can be abused to persecute political opponents. Let me remind you that truth is not a defense to common law seditious libel.
