Echophonic posted:"I didn't vote for Trump in 2016, but I did in 2020, but I think he should be found guilty" is certainly a high-level C-SPAN caller take. Ehhh, I can kind of understand that a bit more than some others? "I thought he was just an empty blowhard but the last four years made it clear he can walk the walk and not just talk the talk and is an earnest fascist who will work hard to punish minorities. But I'm also super into decorum and proper procedure so I strongly disapprove of him inciting a riot.' This country has a lot of fascists who love the rules about as much as they hate minorities and so while they lust for and welcome fascism, they also want fascism to be tidy and neat and follow the rules. No shoveling Jews into ovens until the law has made arrangements for it.

They're probably not one of the degenerates who splits their ballot because they believe a "balanced" government where different parties hold the different branches is better for the country. But this quote makes me think of those degenerates. That Romney video is remarkable. Dude won't switch to an I, but he should.

HE'S ON OUR SIDE!" How would he? Doesn't he feed through osmosis and breath through spiracles?

https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1359635964893818880 "I would (probably) vote to convict but not to bar him from running again" because Lisa Murkowski is wishy-washiness personified. My guess is she votes "present" like she did with Kavanaugh. Yes I know that Alaska has ranked choice now, I don't think it makes a difference.

Angry_Ed posted:https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1359635964893818880 I'm pretty sure what she's responding to is the fact that Trump won't be convicted. "Given that Trump won't be convicted, I can hardly see how he gets elected again regardless of what happens here." Not that she would vote to convict but not to bar.

This is what ties the front to the back. Trump tweets a hundred times a day but while all of us were watching this unfold on 1/6, and while multiple people in multiple branches of government were calling on the president to tweet that people should leave, instead he was silent.

Framboise posted:loving Braun. Can't believe that nauseating piece of poo poo won here. We got lucky with Donnelly but he tried hard to cater to the GOP to retain his spot. It depressed a hell of a lot of people when I was door knocking. Hell he had ads in Nappanee area quoting Reagan for Gods sake. Indiana can do better but drat are we gonna be dragging this state kicking and screaming somewhere other then far right dredges.

Yeah I don't get it. They never quoted Mike Lee. They did refer to Lee's phone but it was handed to a different member. Who did they claim reported on the first call? The second call had a recording.

He's denying that the statements the managers attributed to him about a Trump phone call were true. But won't clarify exactly what is untrue about them. CNN reported the Mike Lee thing and he's saying CNN is lying.
