Todays protest that actually seems to have been an attempt to derail Congress accepting the states Electoral results?
We have Trump people quitting their jobs and others talking about getting Donald Trump out of his job….
As is usual for Trump?
Chaos….
“With 13 days left in President Trump’s term, confidants and Republican officials are considering drastic steps to stop him,” Axios reports.
“These measures include censure, impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment — a move, long dismissed as a liberal fantasy, in which Vice President Pence would step in if Trump were found to be unable to perform his duties.”
“There’s concern about whether the country can withstand another two weeks with Trump at the helm, and what additional chaos and division could be sowed. There’s also rage inside the GOP at Sens. Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz and others whose plans to object to Biden’s certification gave oxygen to Trump, the protests and the notion that Congress could be used to overturn the will of voters.”

The Wall Street Journal
@WSJ
The majority of Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday evening asking him to use the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, saying he instigated the violence in the Capitol
What if in a different sort of twist, Pence resigned in protest?
It’s not like Trump is going to get to replace him in two weeks and Pence, for better or worse, has a totally new angle for 2024 or whatever.
The Democrats?
Where are the Republicans?
Those Republican cowards in The Cabinet don’t give a damn what Democrats think.Perhaps if the Republicans did something they might at least think about it but even then I seriously doubt they would proceed .
Forget about this happening.
It’s not.
President Trump “briefly called in to the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting Thursday morning — and received a loud and overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception when RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel put him on speakerphone,” the Washington Post reports.
Really jumping ship right? He wasn’t even in the same room and they went nuts over him.
There will ALWAYS be some Trump people floating around….
But LESS and less….
We ARE seeing the drop off around the edges that was bound to come…
Two weeks from now there will be even more….
For now?
It’s nice to see the BIG time GOPer people eat shit….
