lani , I've seen "it was an actor, not Trump" who gave the speech, on some feeds. Also "they drugged him" and other nonsense. Yes, I've seen this too, that it was a deep fake. Easier for them to believe.

I've heard the rationale for a second impeachment would be than he could not run for public office again. However, it would take impeachment PLUS conviction. I doubt enough GOPers would have the cojones to vote for conviction.

These criminals have hijacked the Republican Party. They are criminals and thugs. Liars and cheats. They need their own party. How dare they even think about, even consider, being part of the party of Lincoln? I think a third party is inevitable.

I'm going to say this again because Ron and I managed to have a civil discussion about all this today lol. IF the gop had sucked it up and nominated someone other than Trump, I think they'd have won the election. A lot of people don't care for Biden, but they hate Trump. I think the GOP could have put anyone else up and gotten those voters.
So any whining, crying, bitching and moaning is on them for being cowards and suck-ups instead of doing the right thing for their party and for the country.

I think a third party is inevitable. I'm not so sure about that. These people are doing just fine being part of the Republican Party and the moderate/conservative Republicans don't seem to have the backbone to stand up to them. If there is a third party do you think it will the ones that want to over throw the government that will break off, or will it be the moderate/conservative Republicans? I think there is some danger that the progressives might break off from the Democrats and start their own party if they don't get some of their agenda this term.

You know, these days I'm not confident what the heck will happen. Moderate Republicans say one thing now, but will amnesia set in like always later? I would like to think that the progressive wing of the Democrats would be brighter than that, but again, it seems like anything is on the table lately. More anxiety, wah!

lani, DotRen, I didn't finish reading it but I did read some of an article by the Washington Post about the Republican Party's meeting that has been going on in Florida. Wednesday didn't phase them at all when it came to Trump and believing his nonsense.

lani , DotRen , I didn't finish reading it but I did read some of an article by the Washington Post about the Republican Party's meeting that has been going on in Florida. Wednesday didn't phase them at all when it came to Trump and believing his nonsense. Sure, look how they carried on voting against accepting the electors of certain states, even after having to run and hide from the rioters. Yes, I'm sure they knew it wasn't going to matter and they were just grandstanding, but, holy cow, what a hill to die on. Are they true believers or only wanting that Trump vote? I suppose some could be both.
