(1) The position Ronna McDaniel and the GOP leadership are taking on this issue is ridiculous.

Dems aren't going to back down from this impeachment attempt, and asking them to do so just makes the situation worse for Americans beyond the Beltway.

Check out the ratio (so far):

(2) I've been trying to figure which policy area is top priority for me: foreign policy or "law and order."

I can't decide. But the GOP, which I support, isn't doing a great job at the moment of being the law and order party. The Ds never do, but that's beside the point here.

(3) The world is stuck with the effects of a Democrat-controlled exec branch in the US for the next 4 years at least, and not a great chance of loosening their grip on Capitol Hill within that time frame, either.

What an unmitigated disaster for freedom & security everywhere.

(4) Ronna is right to the extent that yes, Ds were always going to look for a chance to impeach Trump whether as a current or former POTUS.

But he personally handed them a very good reason to do it this time. Many Americans on BOTH sides want him investigated, at a minimum.

(5) The most hardline populist Trump supporters won't hear a word said against him. But there's a group of American conservatives that I think are larger than the group of hardliners, who have questions about the whole post election period like I have. They deserve answers.

(6) Because the damage done during that 10 or so weeks was immense. Damage to the lives of those American voters (security, economic etc), to the likelihood of winning back majorities any time soon, and to the very freedom on which everything else depends.

(7) Whether or not a Senate impeachment trial for a former President is "constitutional', the public needs to know as much as possible and appropriate (security-wise) about President Trump's communications and decisions in the months before 1/6. A President has immense power.

(8) I'd actually rather see an investigation and proceedings outside of the impeachment process, but whatever. Ds have every right to do this if they want to. Conservatives don't trust the DOJ and FBI to be politically neutral, but that is the system we are stuck with for now.

(9) Most conservatives don't particularly trust Ronna Romney McDaniel either, truth be told. She's part of the establishment machine & is probably quite pleased at the media coverage her opinion piece has generated.

I want everyone investigated: Ronna, McConnell, Pelosi etc.

(10) At a minimum, McConnell and Pelosi had a duty to tell Trump that security at the Capitol would certainly be inadequate. (USCP ultimately report to them.)

We could ALL see that before the day began. Trump failed to send the DC National Guard. He had a duty to do that.

(11) Here's a challenge for those of you wanting to reply to my threads about holding everyone accountable, including those we like.

Try to reply without making excuses for them. Hold them to the same kind of standard a good employer holds an employee too.

(12) This gets to the very heart of why I have grown to love the USA so much, especially since becoming a conservative in 2016.

You are the employer of your government.

When I was getting my pol sci degree they never taught me much about that. Isn't it ironic?

(13) The same people who so readily shout "Congress do your job!" seem awfully silent when it comes to reviewing the work of their other employees living further along Pennsylvania Ave.

He was an exceptionally accomplished conservative POTUS. Until that last 10 or so weeks.

(14) Jobs Not Mobs was a genius campaign slogan and perfectly encapsulated the choice in 2018.

We can't use it now, because a much larger mob was allowed to form, at a place and time that (all our "leaders" knew full well) would permit a riot injuring cops & others.

7 deaths.

(15) 5 of those deaths directly resulted from the rioting, 2 were solely due to medical events.

I don't care that *some* of the rioters were planted there by the left.

If you were being morally consistent you'd say the same.

(16) I say let the public judge. To do that, y'all need more information.

While Trump and his most ardent supporters keep making excuses, you're not going to get it.

Both sides don't trust the other. Part of the solution is more sunshine-disinfectant. More public info.

(17) Whether that comes via an impeachment trial, or some other judicial process, is immaterial to me.

Complaining about the method Ds are using doesn't exactly help the defense case. The trial will be public. Let's hear the evidence and arguments of each side.

Law and order.
