Impeaching Trump: Make America Sane Again

[frank ryan]

Mike Lee knew what Trump was up to, and capable of (even prior to that meeting) and compared him to Captain Moroni, asserting that Trump does not want power.

Mike Lee? At first I thought you were talking about LA Ute.

Haha. Bingo.

[Pelado]

Yep. Saying something different in public than what you push for in private doesn't make you a good guy, if anything it makes him worse than Trump. At least Trump is consistent in his private and public persona. It just validates that Mike Lee knew what Trump was doing was horrible and did nothing to condemn it and in many ways encouraged it publicly.

Trump has done the same thing at times, like telling some people privately that covid was serious and deadly while publicly dismissing it as a hoax.

Lee is no good guy. He inspired the Moroni clown at January 6. He campaigned constantly for Trump. He was at rallies after the election where Trump called the election fake, rigged, etc. After January 6th he said Trump should be given a mulligan and didn’t vote for impeachment.

Classic example of someone who rubber stamped Trumps traitorous behavior. Has he come out publicly and decried Trumps actions? How about when Trump issued his ridiculous statement to GA a couple days ago, a state where Lee attended stop the steal rallies post election, did he say it was wrong and baseless?

I’m no fan of Mike Lee, but after reading more about his role in this, he was the voice of reason. He was advising Trump and his legal team against this, and did due diligence with state election officials to verify they would be sending split electoral votes or whatever the technical term is

You know what's even weirder? The CNN story says the memo was reviewed by Mike Lee, "one of the Senate's top Republican constitutional authorities."

Something that comes with extreme narcism is a glaring lack of self-awareness. Trump allows no one in his orbit who is willing to criticize him. An entire political party has remade itself to accommodate him. It’s frightening.
This is Trump and his past has been consistent with it but the GOP castrated itself with more speed and urgency than I anticipated.

Yip.

I love the rationalization of those here who say, I’m still voting for the politicians who carry/carried Trumps water for years but I’d never vote for Trump like there’s any real distinction.

The moment Bernie or AOC or any other of the crazy dems wrestle control away from the moderate dems I will vote straight ticket Republican until the party returns to some semblance of normalcy.

It has to be country over party and the GOP openly supports a would be dictator.

This may have been mentioned already, but apparently Trump is still contacting Georgia officials to try and convince them to decertify the election results. Trump sent a letter on 9/17 asking for it to be done.

The poor guy is certifiable.

I think pretty much all dictators are certifiable. If you surround yourself only with yes-men and sycophants you end up in a crazy bubble of your your own making.

This looks fake. There’s no way someone wrote this out like this. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to write a game plan that basically proves you are a traitor to your country. It’s unbelievable.

I think the fact it looks fake makes it even that much more horrible given the fact it isn’t fake.

lol, I see what you are doing here.

Four years of unbelievably stupid.
