The most important thing that got buried at the end of the last thread is that Pompeo has had Cuba once again declared a terrorist state.

I would hope so. You can assume basically any action taken by this administration at this point is an attempt to salt the earth.

One thing I am not looking forward to is Biden firing all of Trump's last minute inner circle appointments, and his base claiming it's corruption.

They likely only did this in the first place so that if Biden takes them off of it they can point to it as proof that Cuba helped steal the election.

Presumably.

If it's somehow more than something that Biden or his next Secretary of State can just undo... the Congressional Review Act would probably cover it and that just requires majorities in Congress and is not subject to filibuster. But I would assume it's the former and wouldn't even go that far but I'll admit I have not researched this particular action.

And i'm sure those same people didn't think it was suspicious at all that Trump fired a bunch of people after the election and before leaving office.

Because that's just a normal thing that presidents do.

Ideally, we'd have every single person hired by the Trump admin investigated and possibly removed, regardless of if they're at the bottom of the totem pole or the top.

Unfortunately, that would detract from other important work that needs done.

1.) No dehumanization here please. They are humans, and thats the problem.

2.) I saw this too, but upon further examination it really does seem like someone just wrote TRUMP in the algae filth on the manatee, like someone in the replies said, like writing in dirt on a car. Clean this creature up!

Meanwhile, in Brexit news:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/11/dutch-officials-seize-ham-sandwiches-from-british-drivers

Officials wearing high-visibility jackets are shown explaining to startled car and lorry drivers at the Hook of Holland ferry terminal that since Brexit, you are no longer allowed to bring certain foods to Europe, like meat, fruit, vegetables, fish, that kind of stuff.
To a bemused driver with several sandwiches wrapped in tin foil who asked if he could maybe surrender the meat and keep just the bread, one customs officer replied: No, everything will be confiscated. Welcome to Brexit, sir, Im sorry.

Something else from last topic we shouldnt gloss over

Can we talk about Melania Trump mourning the terrorists??

Most recently, my heart goes out to: Air Force Veteran, Ashli Babbitt, Benjamin Philips, Kevin Greeson, Roseanne Boyland, and Capitol Police Officers, Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood. I pray for their families comfort and strength during this difficult time.


Imagine if Ilhan Omar said her heart went out to the 9/11 hijackers

The problem is that, unlike 9/11, a huge portion of population won't accept them as terrorists.

Because they're white.

Yeah, these are people who literally believe they are fighting for democracy, not the other way around. That's by far the the most terrifying thing about all this and why I see it getting much worse before it gets better. It would be one thing to have a group trying to overthrow an election that knew that's what they were doing...this is something else entirely.

They are both terrorists and victims.

It's telling that Manchin would be getting shredded if there was even 1 more Dem in the senate.

The good thing is it likely means he'll be a yes on DC statehood so he can retreat to irrelevancy.

Not that I can recall, but this isn't a vote to play games with even if he's probably right that the votes aren't there in the Senate which would mean he could "afford" to in order to bolster his WV cred.

He didn't say he wasn't voting guilty. Multiple Republicans are very high probabilty guilty votes. Namely Romney, Toomey, Murkowski, and Collins.

Ben Sasse is probably also a gulity vote on impeachment. Rand Paul, if he wants to show he is anything like his father. Mitch McConnell is apparently planning never to speak with Trump again, so he might even be a guilty vote. If he is, he probably carries a bunch of people with him.

Depends

If we're granted DC Statehood then the road to recovery involves never letting Republicans having a seat at the table ever again, which probably works better than showing what Trump did is bad by impeaching him, cause they'll just view that as an injustice

Ugh

I agree. That's why whenever cops try to arrest an arsonist I'm like "is that really a good idea?" Should we really be looking to cause divisions between arsonists and non-arsonists by holding an arsonist accountable for all the fires he started? Isn't it better to move on and hope the arsonist simply has learned his lesson?

Mitch being on board is very likely the only way removal (or "removal" I guess) happens, unfortunately

If we don't impeach Trump and allow the actions of the 1/6 terrorists to go without consequences towards the people that enable them, then they will continue to feel empowered to try and tear down the government via violent means, at which point having senate majority doesn't really matter.

Unless the majority is used to actually deem these people legally terrorists like they deserve, which would hopefully cause many of them to think twice.

Several members of the House and Senate need to be removed from office as well. Hawley and Cruz aren't enough.

The main reason you wouldn't want to convict Trump on impeachment is because people may see it is suppressing their vote for him in 2024, and that lowers confidence in democracy. But at this point, Trump has already lost an election, and the people who don't believe he lost show no signs of coming around to seeing that. Trump running in 2024 would be a disaster for our country and him winning would be terrifying. So I'm fine with GOP senators voting to convict.

They'll feel empowered whether or not he's impeached. Zealots have the ability to twist anything into an excuse for more zealotry. Impeaching Trump just means the deep state is scared of him, ect.

The thing that could produce actual change would be to cull the Senate of its traitors, but that won't happen. Impeaching Trump is never a bad thing but I don't think it matters much in the grand scheme of things.
