Now her sham committee is packed with Trump haters. A lot of you guys could have been on that committee. The verdict was in before it the hearings started. Sounds like a lot of crocodile tears to me. Trump supporters tried to overthrow the Constitution of the United States. They should all be executed for treason. BTW: The only sham is Republicans. They are, presently, a sham party.

He really tipped his hand on what a conservative is. Cheney cannot be trusted even though she was one of the most conservative votes in congress. Interesting choice of words in trust. All she did was criticize Trump. Her replacement was much harsher in her criticism of Trump but can be trusted now since she has now publicly pledged her full support for Trump. It's a cult and that means supporting the leader. That is your definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is your definition. I agree. Sycophancy is the current definition of "conservative". There is no other acceptable definition (in certain peoples' minds...). If I call myself a Teddy Roosevelt Republican (I do), I'd be laughed out of the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your litmus test on whether something is credible or not is dependent upon feelings towards Trump. That’s interesting because my litmus test on intelligence is their feelings towards Trump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Why would they vote in favor of something that Nutty Nancy was going to control. The Impeachment hearings were a joke with Shift and Nadler running it. Why would they give her another chance to do this? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Cocaine Mitch and the rest of your party stacking the decks to get the people they want to be eligible to vote while stacking the deck against minorities. I grew up with leaders like Everett Dirksen, Hugh Scott, Charles Percy, Mark Hatfield. Linwood Holton, Richard Poff, John Dalton here in Virginia. They were true to the conservative values of the 1960s and ‘70s. No Trumpublican can hold a candle to these statesmen. The Republican Party has killed the Party of Lincoln, Taft and Eisenhower in favor of the thoughts of Chairman Putin… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already know Trump and those around him including everybody involved in the insurrection are a disgrace. Trump broadcast the whole thing ahead of time. There's not much to analyze.

smr-nj Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 There needs to be accountability. If you are called to testify before Congress, and you don’t even show up, charge them with contempt of Congress. You can’t just throw up your hands and let it go. They can come when subpoenaed, and refuse to answer. That’s their right. That’s reasonably in the realm of normalcy. Complete disregard and refusal to appear just should not be tolerated. Period. from what I’ve been reading, it doesn’t look like even past the charge of contempt of Congress, and a conviction, that they can be sent to imprisonment. There isn’t , after all , a specific “congressional” jail, and they wouldn’t be sent to a federal jail… because this is congressional, not federal. I suppose they can sequester them in a room in Congress until they come to their senses, but who needs that circus. But it needs to be on the record somewhere that they were held in contempt of Congress. You cannot just disregard this. I find this more infuriating every damn day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point that it might be better to show up but not say anything. I don't think there's much they can do. I can't remember the specifics or the hearing (Benghazi?) but it was led by Republicans that some people refused to show and nothing happened.
