    By the time it goes to the Senate the charges won't be only about armed militia but people in the Pentagon and the Congress involved.

    There should be more charges to impeachment. Since the last impeachment Trump committed several things that are high crimes and misdemeanors. During the Constitutional Convention abuse of the pardon power was specifically mentioned as an impeachable offense. William Barr himself said that a pardon for corrupt intent was a crime.

    Racist Rs and the non-racist Rs (who enable the racist Rs)?

    Why are so many of GOP reps at the House bat **** crazy and radical?
    High contrast with GOP senators who most of them seem more grounded to reality even if a few are crooked sociopaths.

    I don't know anything about american politics but here people were complaining how the Senate should be abolished because it gives unfair representation to land instead of population.

    But if it was only the House governing america with the kind of House reps in it, like that Qanon Colorado woman, it would be much worse. No?

    I has to do with party primaries and gerrymandering. Within party primaries particularly for elections that are smaller than the whole state party activists play a very large role since few people participate in things like district caucuses and even fewer go onto to become party delegates. Those delegates are the ones who decide on things like endorsement and aiding campaigns. Gerrymandering has meant that districts are much more ideologically pure so there is little reason for a candidate to appeal to middle.

    The sad truth also is that most Americans don't even know who their US Representative is, what votes they take and often even where they stand on a lot of issues.

    Isn't there a separate mid-term election for House? How can you go the poll and don't even know who your rep is?
    I don't mean about details like what is their policy about peace in the Middle East but simple things, like if your rep is a QAnon supporter and a lunatic.

    Next person you hear say 'it's over, there's no point in impeaching Trump now', punch them in the face. If they get mad, just tell them it's over, you're leaving, and that there's no point in getting angry.

    He should be impeached based on the call to the Georgia SOS demanding that he find enough votes to rig the election.

    It’s amazing what this POS is getting away with.

    GOP against impeachment: Political violence is unacceptable. And we can't impeach because it would further divide the American people and bring more political violence.

    GOP has become the party of appeasement to political violence. Also - it's unacceptable, except it is.

    Still waiting on those Rs votes to show up. So far it’s straight party lines. 217/203.

    Not a single Repug has broken ranks in any of these procedural votes.

    We'll see...

    CNN: White House is pressuring reps and senators who now fear for their lives and families.

    Banana Republic stuff here.

    I'd be recording those phone calls and play them back at the debate on the resolution to impeach to reinforce why Trump must be impeached.

    It is truly a reign of terror.

    The National Guard sleeping in the capitol.
    The Parliament being threatened and fear for their lives.
    The "president" publicly handing out more threats: stop impeachment or else..
    State Capitols preparing for attacks by armed traitors.

    What is this? Is this america? How has it become like that? Fallen so low?
    What war on terror when terror is ruling.

    And with all this the only outrage I see from americans is from the actual terrorists who got banned on twitter.
    I dont understand.

    Where is the outrage of the law abiding people who want their country back?

    Now a GOP rep says: America is the greatest country ever while saying there should be no punishment for a coup.
    Insanity.
