Enough is enough! Aren’t we suppossed to begin healing and getting along now, as our new president has said? More partisan politics and retribution is not what we need as a nation right now.
I think it was Lincoln who called for healing in his second Inaugural address. What it got him was a bullet in the head.
There’s nothing partisan about treason and sedition. After punishment for the guilty, then the healing can begin.
Kevin – It’s partisan to impeach someone who violated his oath of office and tried to overturn our free and fair elections???
You’re right, Kevin; spot-on. Thanks.
Are there more pressing issues in our country than another witch hunt?
Al Gore, Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams all deny they lost their elections, but they weren’t prosecuted..
One window was broken at the Capitol building last week. No graffiti or burning. It was wrong and those responsible are being arrested.
But what about the year long rioting across our country and Indy? Thousands of windows on thousands of buildings and businesses including Federal property? Silence.
Did they break an oath to protect the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic?
If a President can’t be impeached for provoking a mob to storm Congress so they can’t ratify election results, exactly what is impeachable behavior?
And if a President can’t be impeached once he leaves office (he can), does that mean Joe Biden can do whatever he wants in the last week of his Presidency?
Bernard – There was a law officer murdered. Feces were smeared on the walls. It’s not about which riots were worse. It’s not about who rioted first. It’s not a witch hunt – it’s holding a wanna be dictator who tried to overturn our free and fair elections accountable for his unacceptable actions.
BINGO!
BINGO was intended for Bernard’s comments, not those that followed as replies to his.
I’m yet to see a specific quote in which President Trump encouraged his supporters to go forth and do what a few of them did. You’re right to contrast that to the millions -if not billions- of dollars in damage done to so many major cities across the country this spring and early summer that were never firmly castigated by those who want to vilify Trump now for far lesser actions by a tinier number of his supporters…again, with no quotes from him instructing them to go forth and do so.
Bob.
.
Did he lie about election fraud for months on end? Yep. He ever started the plan before the election had happened.
Did he put together a rally on the very day that the votes were being counted? Yep.
Did he tell them to march down to the Capitol? Yep. He even lied to them and said he’d be there with them.
Did he tell them that Mike Pence let them down? Yep.
Did he tell them “you have to show strength”? Yep.
Did he tell them to “demand that Congress do the right thing”? Yep.
Did he walk out there and call them off when things got out of control? Nope. He just complained that the people looked “low class”.
Did he send in reinforcements? No, Mike Pence had to do that. The same Mike Pence the crowd (who erected a gallows, it should be noted) wanted to hang.
If Bill Clinton should have been convicted and removed from office for lying in a court of law (and he should have), then Trump should be in prison for life. If Trump is not impeached, I don’t ever want to hear about how corrupt Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden are ever again.

Not surprisingly, the GOP senators are lying when they say it’s unconstitutional to try Trump, giving them an out to vote “no” so they can keep their jobs.
Behold the below, signed by over 150 legal scholars, including the co-founder of the Federalist Society.
“Now that President Trump has left office, may the Senate take up an article of impeachment, and try, convict, and disqualify President Trump from holding future office? We, the undersigned constitutional law scholars, conclude it can.
We take no position on whether the Senate should convict President Trump on the article of impeachment soon to be transmitted by the House of Representatives.
We differ from one another in our politics, and we also differ from one another on issues of constitutional interpretation. But despite our differences, our carefully considered views of the law lead all of us to agree that the Constitution permits the impeachment, conviction, and disqualification of former officers, including presidents.”

Yawn. If it was so critical to impeach so fast in the House and he was such a danger to America, why didn’t Nancy deliver the articles to the Senate last week? Asking for a friend.
Yawn indeed, Olde Skool G.
Since much of the same outcome happened in Indianapolis AND evidence of the riot still exists downtown, can we begin the same process with Joe Hogsett? I feel he has violated his oath to protect the citizens on Indianapolis. Safety on our streets has declined since he took office for his 1st term and has dropped even more in this 2nd term.
And yet he got more votes in 2019 than 2015. I’m not sure who has run a worse campaign in the last few years – Jim Merritt for Indianapolis mayor or Woody Myers for governor. And that’s leaving out 2015, where the Marion County GOP ran a guy who owned a sandwich shop.
Don’t worry, the Indianapolis Republicans are going to make public safety in Indianapolis the governor’s problem with a committee he’s going to appoint – it’s a bill in the Statehouse this year. As everyone who works in corporate America knows, when you need leadership and decisive action, a committee is always the way to go. (End heavy sarcasm). I’d rather one of those Republicans like Freeman or Sandlin come up with a real plan and run for mayor.
He needs to go to jail and be held accountable, if not what kind of example are we setting for our children and our political future?!
