    If Trump does one more thing ... Graham will clarify that he actually meant two if not three more things.

    A business decides it doesn't want to hurt its business reputation or lost sales so it drops a book... and so called free marketers start snowflaking...

    He is right.
    A politician exercising his duty shouldnt be prosecuted.

    However he is the one making the laws. If america doesn't have laws that stop employers firing people based on their political beliefs that is his own fault.
    Now that he tastes the bitter fruit he doesn't like it?

    "Representing my constituents" ... so, that's the excuse he's going with. That might fly with someone in the House of Representatives. A Senator is supposed to rise above the "passions" of their constituency.

    As soon as he goes unscripted again, you know that Trump will get back to his "steal the election" talking points.

    Like clockwork, we got their excuses... "takes too long" "might make him a hero" "better to just wait it out".


    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/07/mnuchin-pompeo-discussed-trump-removal-after-dc-riots.html

    The arguments against pursuing action, according to the three sources, were manifold. First, the legal process itself was estimated to take more than a week, negating any immediate effect it would have.

    Second, it was unclear whether the three secretaries serving in “acting” roles without Senate confirmation would be able to cast a vote. Third, they had concerns that forcing Trump from office could further stoke tensions among his base and make him a hero of the far right, doing more bad in the long-term than good in the short-term.

    “The general plan now is to let the clock run out,” said one former senior administration official aware of the discussions. “There will be a reckoning for this president, but it doesn’t need to happen in the next 13 days.”

    Yep.. It was my mistake to count on people who's main qualification for serving in the administration is lack of spine..
