Impeached Twice! 5 deaths! But who's really to blame?

Published

If the Senate republicans had supported the first impeachment, this NEVER would have happened and 5 people would likely be alive. Would so many people have died in the pandemic? Would the economy be in such horrific state? 

My question is WHY WOULD THEY STILL NOT SUPPORT THE 2ND IMPEACHMENT?

This is the extreme terrorists are willing to go --- no wonder REpublicans afraid to vote yes to impeachment when the public only getting glimpse of coming terrorist actions.

Authorities tracking multiple threats for a 'week of siege' after Capitol breach

Quote

...Authorities are paying particular attention to an event organized by a collection of right-wing extremist groups, including the Proud Boys. Their ambitions include an idea to hold an event in the coming days to “capture and detain” Democratic politicians and set up a new government led by Republican leaders of their choosing, according to internet postings reviewed by law enforcement....

Adam Schiff predicted a year ago when he warned that Trump would again infringe on improprieties because it was so predictable. Except for Mitt Romney, no one stood up. 

I honestly have come to believe that republican lawmakers lack a decency gene. They are or are on the fringes of sociopathy. They are afraid of losing their voter base more than doing the right thing. Using life, the constitution or the Bible's examples, supported by videos which would be easily found in today's world, they could easily justify supporting impeachment that would appease Trump's supporters who are simpletons to begin with. 

Anyone who finds Trump's displays appealing is a simpleton! Intelligent people respond to careful, measured, modulated, vocabularied, contextual, speech and gestures! Trump is the exact opposite! Only passion can force you to listen to him and knowing his propensity for lying, if you decided to and continue listening to anything he says, you have to be an idiot! There ISN'T A SINGLE INSTANCE I dare anyone to find, where you can find an educated, intelligent person speaking quickly, loudly or especially with the basic vocabulary that Trump displays!

Intelligent people are always measured and careful because experience and knowledge forces you through outcomes and role models, to be that way! 

Just as what you eat and breathe affects you, so to does what you input interlectually!

I don't know if it's right to think like this but listening to the news as it's developing, I can't help thinking about just how cowardly these republicans are? 

They are so afraid of their voters despite having their lives threatened, especially Pence, that they DON'T EVEN HAVE THE COURAGE TO DENOUNCE THEM! 

Consider, aren't they reacting like abused wives? So emotionally bruised that they are afraid to file charges and so cowardly, they won't even protect their loved ones? 

Can you ever actually TRUST PEOPLE LIKE THAT, EVER? Such cowards that they won't even fight back. So battered! 

Now I begin to understand how Trump was able to brow beat them! I find it very difficult to quiver to anyone personally. I'm very quiet, but don't think that it makes me an easy target. I think republican politicians are easy targets, used to being abused and when they do respond, it's always cowardly! 

How does anyone like Cruz for example, who actually represents most of the republican politicians, allow anyone to call his wife ugly or his father a murderer and that person's face is still intact? Especially when you don't even have to raise a hand to make Trump cry! 

His vanity with the hair and makeup and painted on tan should be enough to make him anyone's bi**h! He's such an easy target!

Mitch McConnell convened Senate at Noon today and spoke re events past 2 weeks, signaling his thought re impeachment . "THE MOB WAS FED LIES. THEY WERE PROVOKED BY THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER POWERFUL PEOPLE."  Sure sounds like  Mitch will vote YES  to confirm impeachment and take actions against "powerful people" in Senate.

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THAT IT HAS TAKEN ACTION RELATIVE TO IMPEACHMENT, THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET TRANSMITTED THE ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT TO US. I ASK THAT PURSUANT TO RULE 1 OF THE RULES OF IMPEACHMENT, THE SECRETARY OF THE SENATE NOTIFY THE HOUSE THAT THE SENATE HAS RECEIVED ITS MESSAGE.

THE LAST TIME THE SENATE CONVENED, WE HAD JUST RECLAIMED THE CAPITOL FROM VIOLENT CRIMINAL WHOSE TRIED TO STOP CONGRESS FROM DOING OUR DUTY. THE MOB WAS FED LIES. THEY WERE PROVOKED BY THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER POWERFUL PEOPLE....

...NOW, ON A RELATED MATTER, A GREAT DEAL HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID ABOUT THE DISGRACEFUL EVENTS OF January 6. MORE WILL BE SAID IN THE WEEKS AHEAD. I UNDERSTAND THE F.B.I. HAS ALREADY MADE AT LEAST 100 ARRESTS AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REPORTS MORE THAN 275 PERSONS UNDER INVESTIGATION. A NUMBER THAT IS CLIMBING FAST. I WANT TO COMMEND THE WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT TO SWIFTLY INVESTIGATE AND BRING OFFENDERS TO JUSTICE. AS I'VE STATED, January 6 SAW FAILURES OF INSTITUTIONS, PROTOCOLS, AND PLANNING. THOSE FAILURES DID NOT JUST LEAVE CONGRESS ITSELF EXPOSED. THEY ALSO LEFT THE COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN OF THE CAPITOL POLICE THEMSELVES IN A TOTALLY UNTENABLE SITUATION. SO TODAY I WANT TO REAFFIRM THE HUGE RESPECT AND GRATITUDE THAT I HAVE AND I BELIEVE ALL SENATORS HAVE FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE U.S. CAPITOL POLICE. -- WHO PUT THEIR OWN SAFETY ON THE LINE EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT THEY CLOCK IN AND STAND GUARD. ...

It sounds like McConnell is going to try to salvage the Republican party.  He's a bit late for that effort.
