A reminder why it’s cool for GOP voters that @SenateGOP lost control after the GA runoffs.

No reason for weak-kneed, self-serving, attention-hungry useful idiots to be in the majority.
The fraud nature of the vote by @MittRomney @BillCassidy @BenSasse etc is evident that none of them call for the House GOP to bring up impeachment of former Dem presidents Obama/Clinton. Those 6 GOP Senators were not even on the forefront to uncover 2016 Obama DOJ abuses.
Senator Leahy is the presiding “judge” of the impeachment but he is also a vote/juror in it.

I don’t see principled @BenSasse @MittRomney raising alarms about it

How can Leahy pledge to be and be “fair to all sides” when he is a vote on one of those sides?

Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment.

Odd that @SenateDems at the time did not move forward with an impeachment after he left office.

No, not odd.

Nobody sane thought that you can impeach a former POTUS until current Dems and half dozen useful idiot Sen. Republicans decided so.
The Senate votes if they have the power to impeach a former POTUS.

The Senators who are alleged victims are jurors in the trial of the alleged perp.

The presiding “judge,” Senator Leahy is also a juror and an alleged victim.

Amazing that the constitutional crowd backs it.
The 7 Republicans who voted to convict Trump were most in favor of “let Mueller finish his job” - a job which perpetuated a conspiracy theory that suggested the 2016 election was not legit, yet those clowns think Trump was wrong to doubt 2020? FRAUDS!

It gets better:
The @SenatorBurr led the Senate’s Russia investigstion which - again - was rooted in the notion that the 2016 election was not legit, yet he votes to convict Trump for doubting the 2020 results. Rich. Those 7 are hardly on the forefront to condemn elected Dems who repeatedly
encouraged and legitimized political/policy violence and unrest.

Summary: The wing of the GOP most vocal in undermining the integrity of the 2016 elections and most silent when Dems encourage violence, voted to impeach Trump for “inciting violence” by doubting the 2020 outcome.
In 2018, Dem insurrectionists tried to stop democracy (the confirmation of new a Justice) by taking siege of a Senate building; blocking the entry/exit of door and elevators for Senators. Few if any of the GOP Seven seemed outraged by it or even blamed elected Dems for it.
This is another illustration that the principles driving the Non/Never-Trump wing of the GOP are breaking norms (by impeaching a POTUS twice); permitting violence if done by Dems; getting media attention and folding for Dems. This is being selfish and stupid.
I am reminded by a reader what a degenerate fraud @MittRomney is: Image
Had Trump’s efforts to ascertain the integrity of the elections and his 1/6 rally prep been inciteful, Cap Hill Police would have not welcomed people into the building, and DC Mayor and the MD Governor would have had a full PD/Nat Guard mobilization DAYS in advance. Didn’t happen
because what Trump did was fairly normal political shtick in the eyes of the MD Governor, DC Mayor and Cap Hill Police. It is only after the fact that people reverse engineered his words (including doctoring videos of his speeches) to say that he spent weeks inciting the masses.
“Prosecutors” (House Managers) doctored evidence against the defendant, yet “principled Republicans” like @lisamurkowski @SenToomey still voted to impeach.

When prosecutors need to make up evidence, it’s a give away that they have no case and should lead to acquittal.

Can a POTUS retroactively revoke his political opponent's presidential privileges which paves the way for a raid on and prosecution of his opponent who is now seeking immunity from this POTUS?

The answer is yes. Biden did just that.
A Biden Judge asked the attorney of Biden's Political Opponet if a POTUS has the authority to take out his political opponent, and if the answer is no then it implies that Biden('s DOJ) can continue to try to take out his political opponent...

1984 wasn't this convoluted.
The Biden DOJ asked Trump for docs.

Trump claimed executive privilege (EP).

DOJ went to the WH for help.

Biden Deputized the National Archivist to revoke Trump's EP.

She did.

DOJ affidavit mentions violations of Archive laws (created by action above) as a reason to raid! 🚨 Image

Via @ChuckGrassley: "I have no evidence [on Biden wrongdoing]. the fact haven't taken me to that point where I can say the president is guilty of anything."

A - There is more evidence than in many white collar cases.

B- Dems didn't speak this way about no-evidence of collusion.
For years, @ASavageNation claimed that "liberalism is a mental disorder," but it is increasingly clear that Republicanism is a symptom/sign of mental issues.

Idiots are Republicans; Rollover Suckers are Conservatives - for the most part; especially those in DC.
@ASavageNation Conspirators texting about the involvement of a third person has been used in cases. 10% for "the big guy"was mentioned.

He got onto calls/had meetings with vendors which is also used in cases.

He got 10% of a $400K pay through a brother middle man who got $10K.

🧵 🧵🧵Notice the pattern of contradictory in many claims by the anti-Israel and anti-Jew crowd; generally the same people:

- Israel deserved everything that happened on 10/7 but not everything that happened as seen on video actually happened because those are fake videos...
- Israel is keeping people locked into Gaza and is displacing them out of Gaza...

- For weeks Israel is trying to enter #AlShifa that Israel occupies/controls since '67; bombed it indiscriminately recently, and there R no combatants there stopping Israel from just walking in...
- There are no tunnels under #AlShifa, and the tunnels were created by Israel...

- Why is Israel taking out Hamas; a group that Israel created which has no support among Gazans...?

- Oppression leads to 10/7 type resistance by Gazans that oppressed Gazans don't even support...

- Within a year of the 1995 shutdowns, the @HouseGOP Majority was reelected for the first time since the 1920's; Senate GOP picked up two seats.

- A year after the 2013 shutdowns, the GOP picked up 13 seats in the House; won control of the Senate.

Stop buying WSJ/NRO defeatism!
In 2016, Trump ran on prosecuting HRC; he won.

House Dems impeached Trump and won the WH/Senate within the year.

Biden raided Trump in August 2022 and softened Dem losses by November.

Shoring up your own side by being bold works better than trying to win "independents."
- The @HouseGOP opened an impeachment inquiry in Oct '98.

Despite a wave of 54 seats in 1994 which should have receded, the GOP ended the 1998 midterms with only 7 seats less than 1994.

In the Senate, the GOP held steady despite a combined NET GAIN of TEN seats in '94 - '96.
