Wild how there are so many serving or former LEOs and military in there, I wonder if that says something about those particular institutions...
People wonder the same thing given the number of fire bugs that end up being firemen.  I saw that myself in the fire department I volunteered on.  He thought he was doing everyone a favour by providing real life training opportunities.

Speaking of the Guilliani...

From: https://globalnews.ca/news/7568623/rudy-giuliani-faces-expulsion-new-york-state-bar-association/
The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) is considering removing Rudy Giuliani as a member, after the president’s lawyer called for “trial by combat” ahead of the pro-Trump attack on the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday.

There was a rumor Trump was planning on getting giuliani to be his lawyer for the impeachment. Trump better hope they advance the articles of impeachment quickly or Giuliani may not be a lawyer anymore.

It's like Trump has naked pictures of Guliani's wife he holds over him or something.  Or maybe i'm giving Rudy too much credit lol.

The longer you stay on the Trump Train the more you realize you'd be unable to make a living with anyone but Trump.

What does Rudy have going for him outside his relationship to Trump? He's probably going to get disbarred.

The stench of Trump is going to stick to his bootlickers for a long time.

Eventually this stench will permeate to everyone who ever claimed the election was stolen.

I was trying to elucidate a system of fact-checking that could address the situation: where a respected centrist could do a video version of 'Snopes' and go through every claim about the election being stolen and explain it away.

She threw figurative cold water in my face: "Why ?  They are conspiracy people... they would find a way to make it into a conspiracy"

And she's right... and it wouldn't be hard.

A “centrist”?  You mean a commie Biden supporter who wants to take away our guns and was for all those BLM riots?

The thing about conspiracies is that evidence against the conspiracy is simply taken as proof of how deep the conspiracy goes.

Interesting times yet again. Lindsay Graham kisses trump's arse and joins him on a flight to Texas where trump tries to show off his stupid **** wall he spent billions on to do nothing, while at the same time Mitch McConnell agrees he will vote to impeach. Tomorrows will be interesting when the impeachment vote is official. Maybe trumpty dumpty was down at the wall wondering if the Mexicans would let him in after he gets kicked out of office.

Cite request  on Mitch McConnell saying he will vote to impeach.

I misspoke, he has stated he approves of the impeachment process.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party, according to people familiar with his thinking. The House is voting on Wednesday to formally charge Mr. Trump with inciting violence against the country.

I hadn’t seen this!   Big news.  If McConnell will impeach, I think there may be enough to ensure Trump never holds public office again.

Liz Chenney is on board as well.

Hopefully the price of abandoning Trump will ensure Republicans are out of power too, for a least 4 years - 8 would be great.
