Re: The political trial
The Congress could have ...or still could...go after Trump for Treason and only need a simple majority in both houses to convict. Instead we have some "committees" produced by Nancy Pelosi to "investigate". But one law maker from Mississippi is suing Trump because of an obscure l...

Re: The political trial
WASHINGTON (AP) — In his speech Saturday from the Senate floor, Sen. Mitch McConnell delivered a scalding denunciation of Donald Trump, calling him “morally responsible” for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. But in his vote on Trump’s impeachment, McConnell said “not guilty” because he said a f...

Re: The political trial
As to the worst I'd add Mitch McConnell. He just said he would vote for acquittal apparently as a signal to the possibly wavering Republicans in the Senate who might vote based actually on the evidence.

Re: The political trial
Here is part of a late editorial. It concerns a new Alabama Senator who got elected on supporting Trump with no independent thought about any issue of his own other than he loved Trump and would do whatever Trump wished. https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/just-keep-talking-tommy-tuberville.html The mai...

The political trial
I watched, like a lot of other people, the first act of the political trial of Trump. Obviously the Republicans aren't going to impeach an already removed from the Oval office President and go along with preventing him from attempting to return in the future to stir the pot no matter what crimes he ...

Re: Old guys like us verdict on Trump
Pretending like he never happened is like taking a shit and not wiping. He has clearly shown us again that a President is not infallible in matters of the public best interest and often takes the wrong path. Presidents are often not made of the best stuff that America has to offer as a leader as we ...

Old guys like us verdict on Trump

Re: Mob at the Capitol

Re: Mob at the Capitol
I agree he was guilty as charged. What I wonder is why Nancy Pelosi and company want to impeach him with only a week before Biden is inaugurated? It would never get off the ground until after Trump is no longer President. Obviously Pense isn't going to do the article 25 thing and remove him either i...

And if anybody still loves Trump
The AP quoted Trump's pumping up a mob into an attack on the Capital while a joint session of the legislator confirmed the electoral votes. From the Associated Press: Trump: “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” he said. “Let the weak ones get out,” he went on. ...

I agree that it is a slow motion thing to provide a stopgap prevention in the middle of a storm of new cases. One article I read lays the blame on the feds leaving distribution all up to the states. The states probably don't have the people or resources to enter into a mass inoculation mode in most,...

In the case of the $2000 stimulus check instead of $600, the Republicans who let Trump off on the impeachment out of lock step loyalty don't want to give the general population a big windfall gift because it isn't "conservative". If the senate majority leader Mitch McConnell can stop a vot...

Thanks for pointing that out Vern. Strange how it was posted on an artillery 2/320th facebook site though. That would leave out a lot of FO team members who earned air medals. I damn sure wouldn't apply for one if I were eligible because there was no such thing when we were in Vietnam. However, sinc...
