  1. GOP: The party of unaccountability

    Who would have thought a party filled with malignant narcissists would stick to their lies regardless of the truth…..

    1. I’m guessing you have , for whatever reason , an immense dislike of Donald Trump. He obviously did not suit your agenda. However just coz you do not like him you should think twice before accepting an authoritarian system handing out punishment with no proof. Those that gatecrashed the Capitol building are the only ones who should be punished. They did not have a gun aimed at their head to do it. They are adults. They are not little children who cannot make their own decisions. To punish Trump would be to start a bad precedent where people can be punished for something they said and not what they did and moreover where others actions can be used against that person/////

    2. @marks marsh riiiiiiiiiight. Couldn’t have anything to do with months and months of inciement or call for a “wild” rally in DC on 1/6 and call for Pence to make up some way to steal the election – or else. I can’t see any evidence. Blind.

    5. @marks marsh Do you think Charles Manson was unjustly sentenced in the murders he didn’t actually commit?

  2. Hold them all accountable all for their actions, the people that vote for them are held accountable for their actions

    3. @Vincent Richard THIS Republican party is an extremely far cry from the party of Lincoln. The difference is like night and day- Trump owns this abomination.

  4. Accountability… Trump would do no less had he won… he would have pushed for the highest penalties for anything he could throw at his opponents and critics.

    1. @Erik yep.. he deserves it many times over… at least times 420,000 plus and counting.. . he threatened to jail Pelosi, and Schiff, and other Dem leaders.. creepy… but projection is what he does.

    2. It’s in his nature, he’s shown this many times. He cares for no one above his own interest . And would throw anyone under the bus . If it served his goals. A very vengeful person. Vengeful beyond reason . He’s shown this over and over. This is the same man who told cops they didn’t have to be so careful dealing with people they arrested. Who took all children from there parents at the border. Some of whom they still hold. He must answer for his action . And those who aided him.

    3. You serious? He did nothing about Clinton after winning… He said he wanted a “healing process”.

    5. @Shekel Steinberg-Bernstein no, he wanted Hillary, Comey, Schiff, Schumer, Pelosi charged w treason… that was about the time he was being accused of bribery and treason…

    5. Cheeto Von Tweeto your special needs cult leader sausage wallet lost the election by a landslide! He obviously wasn’t law abiding enough to make it past one term. Obama did it in eight years! He has been a total failure at everything he has ever tried in his entire lifetime.

      Anyone who pretends to not see how manipulative and incredibly deceptive Donny Dollhands really is has to be equally corrupt. There is no other explanation!

    1. @Chase Austin It’s like telling a murderer “well what’s the use, the victim is dead now”, that clear it up for you.

  9. Contact your Senators and tell them to impeach and convict. It will effectively cancel him. Without the ability to run as a candidate he won’t be able to raise funds for his racist, nationalist agenda.

    1. Well, I had better start looking up Senators numbers and start calling them. There can be no healing without justice.

    3. c j Trump is not a racist. Trump supporters are not racist or white supremacists. That is a lie. Stop saying it.

    4. @cattycorner Not all Trump supporters are racist but I have Trump supporters in my extended family. I can say without qualification that they are racists. I also have black people in my family. They know racism when they see it and they believe Trump’s agenda is racist.

    4. @marks marsh It will definitely start a bad precedent if the con man is not held accountable for his crimes. If not EVERY American is entitled to use the same argument from now on.

      You mean like how mob bosses and people like charles manson are held accountable for their crimes? Yea that precedent is already set and it works just fine. You can encourage and command others to commit crimes on your behalf and be responsible for the crime it’s self… that’s not a difficult concept to understand.

    3. @marks marsh are you kidding me! Trump tried to punish anybody and everybody who ever disagreed with him! but I can tell that my words will fall on deaf ears because you have been drinking too much of the Trump cult Kool-Aid.

  14. Everything Schumer is saying is true, it’s so unfortunate republicans will look at this as a non issue and not vote to prevent him from ever attaining power again…

    2. Also the only reason they want to impeach him is because they feel it will stop him running for President again but actually law says he will still be able to run for Presidency again [ impeached or not ] and with 75 million votes in the bank………

  18. Might be asking for a lot but I hope every single person of authority involved in the capitol coup faces repercussions. I don’t care which side you’re on, its un-American. More so than any prior protests.

    2. That’s an overreaction. Have you seen how much demographics have changed in the last few decades? We’ll never have another Republican president again, especially after Biden gives amnesty to all 20+ million illegal aliens.
