All Trump voters are racist, therefore all Biden voters are Communist.
See how that works. You are the same as them.
Bad comparison.

Trump is a racist/bigot. This is obvious, both from his rhetoric (neo-nazis are fine people), and from his actions (muslim ban). Anyone who votes for Trump is likely aware of that, has evaluated his words and actions, and said "Yup, I'm fine with that". Even if they don't think they are racist, or recognize Trump as a bigot, they are still giving their seal of approval to him.

On the other hand, Biden is not a communist. Communism as an economic theory involves direct state control/ownership of businesses. Being in favor of social programs and/or greater economic regulation (things that Biden does favor) does not make someone a 'communist' since it does not involve the type of direct ownership/control... at best it would make them a 'social democrat'.  So someone could vote for Biden without being a communist (or even being 'pro-communist') because the label does not apply to Biden.

Mitch McConnell said no trial until Trump was out of office.  Now he says there can’t be a trial cuz Trump is out of office.   Hmmm....  odd.

He voted not to have a trial along with 44 other Republican senators.   

They want to pretend there was no attack on the Capitol. They’re traitors to their country.

The real traitors are those who keep voting them back into power again.  Deplorables is a spot on identity.

They won't impeach him because it will hurt them politically with their voters.  So you and eyeball are both right.  Traitors.

And if they don't history needs to record that too. That's the real reason for this impeachment, history. Let it forever be known who was on the stupidest side of it.

Any ideas as to how and how long it may take the US to regain it's previous status after four years of Trump and the activities he was able to instigate January 6th? I suspect the emergence of MAGA media and such display a serious rash on the arse of the USA that won't be healed quickly. I hope I'm wrong. good luck to Joe.

How long did it take the Empire to regain its status after the Visigoths sacked Rome?

Trump is making noises about starting his own new party which could effectively split the GOP. I suppose if he is successful at that we will be able to watch more attacks on the capitol. I'm so glad I'm not an American, especially these days and looking forward.

I think the reason for impeachment is to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from ever running for office again, plus not getting his pension and security briefings etc.

Soldiers go and risk their lives for their country, and these people won't even cast an impeachment vote that might get them not re-elected by stupid racist conspiracy nuts.  Take the bullet for your country cowards.

I don't think he will, because the GOP has made it clear they are committed to Trumpism and all that it entails, which is performative outrage on one hand and the continued transfer of wealth upwards on the other.

I think the real question is how long the establishment can keep a lid on the growing anger at the inequalities of the system and the cruelties upon which it sustains itself.

Republican party, will they and if so how long will it take them to purge themselves of Donald Trump? I guess that's my question standing back where I am.

Never. Either Trump or one of his kids (probably Ivanka) will make a run at some point. And if that doesn't happen, every single Republican who wants to take a run at the big chair will have to put on orangeface to have a shot at winning. Because at this point Trump and the GOP are one and the same.

There was some talk of Trump forming his own party, but supposedly he has cooled on the idea when it became clear that the current republican party still mainly consists of MAGAchuds and bootlickers. (Of course, Trump is wildly inconsistent, so who knows if the idea might re-appear.)

There is a possibility he might form his own "party" that is still an element of the Republican party as a whole (much like the 'tea partiers' form a semi-cohesive group in congress.) Unfortunately that would continue to give him significant political influence.

The Republicans don't have an alternative vision, so the parasite is becoming the host.

Given that the voters rejected the option when the orange master himself was at the helm, this new image of the party as an army of footsoldiers taking orders for Mar-a-Lago seems like a non-starter.

Of course, if they just want to get elected to their individual districts and get lobby money then... perfect !

I think it's more of a human centipede situation, but I'm not sure whose mouth is sewn to whose a**hole.

When you have a political party that is opposed to the very idea of good governance, it's not a surprise that conspiracy and cultural grievance rushes in to fill the void where policy should be.
