Watching the impeachment hearing, wishing I could ask republicans a question

What the hell does the civil unrest incited over George Floyd being murdered on video by a police officer have to do with Trump inciting an insurrection? They are two separate things!

One has to do with systemic racism that still exists after 2 centuries of our official founding when it comes to Justice and Civil Rights.

The other has to do with upholding and defending the US Constitution against enemies Foriegn and Domestic by a President who has no regard for it.

election results, ignored Donald Trump's calls to violently ovreturn the Electoral College count, and not come to Washington to lynch the vice president, speaker of the House and anyone else they could have gotten their hands on.

This is all the Democrats' fault.

To them Twitter cutting off Trump is like the Holocaust. To them, being reasonable means doing everything their way. All of a sudden they are horrified of how terrible it will be that Dems will control the House, Senate and the White House! What do they think we went through for Trump's first 2 years? They jammed so much crap through not to mention the judges Moscow Mitch pushed through in all of the last 4 years. Listen to reason from us? It was "elections have consequences. We won. Get over it."
