1. Pitiful, ignorant and vengeful. The new GOP platform.

[ailsagirl]

3. Haven't they always been that way?

That is, for the last 25+ years?

[marble falls]

5. Now it's official.

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. Yes, they have

Cruz, Hawley, Gaetz, and the above idiots are in the Freedom Caucas which used to be Tea Party until they gave the Tea Party such a bad name they had to change it.

[magicarpet]

2. The party of "personal responsibility".

People must be accountable and responsible for their actions,.... except for the Republicans.

[PatSeg]

4. That is really pathetic

There are times when it would be better to just say nothing at all.

[Maraya1969]

6. Blooming idiots. Most people in this country had no idea about what was goinging

to happen on 1/6. The impeachment was started when Trump was still in office.

And can a Senator boycott the impeachment trial but show up to vote? Imagine if that were a regular jury trial - could never happen.


This reminds me of my brother saying that the first impeachment was "All political" Then I asked him what the articles of impeachment were and he said he didn't know. "How can you know it is all political if you don't even know what it is about?"

They live in their own little alternative universe.

7. How dare they say any of these things?

They should resign and forever hang their heads in shame!

[Vivienne235729]

8. Shows just how much the GOP has lost ground to the crazy tea party.

Out. Of. Control. They need to reign this shit in. Or they will be losing more corporate donors.

[Kid Berwyn]

9. There's the story, World.

And there’s no letting treason (or sedition or whatever the heck one calls it) slide.

[sboatcar]

10. I think the silence you're hearing from the mainline republicans is more telling

These guys are a bunch of Trump bootlickers

[Initech]

11. Trump related violence causes Capitol Riot. Conservatives:

[58Sunliner]

12. What Rand Paul really meant was he shouldn't be held accountable.

Projection again. Rubio-bad for me, McCarthy-I'm to blame as well, and Cornyn-guilty as hell.

[NoMoreRepugs]

13. 70+ million of our fellow citizens vote for them no matter what. Reconciliation

is impossible in my opinion.

[mdbl]

26. this is true but I wonder how that vote would go after the insurrection

he may not have gotten all those votes.

[amb123]

14. And a hearty, hi-ho F*CK YOU to ALL of you!

[orangecrush]

15. Kick

[Nitram]

17. The weirdest thing about Republican "reasoning" is that they threaten to impeach former Democratic

presidents. Didn't they notice that Trump was impeached while in office? Morons.

[Harker]

21. Reagan... Bush... Nixon...

This could be habit forming.

[torius]

22. That one seemed like a trial balloon,

a talking point he's feeding to the mobs and RW media to see if they embrace it and make it their own. Similar to the "private cos. are violating our free speech" nonsensical argument they obsessively repeat.

[Nitram]

27. Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it.

[PatrickforO]

18. Boy, talk about lame excuses.

Nope. Trumpy attempted a coup, and incited that mob. We saw them desecrate the Capitol, hunt for Pence and members of Congress to kill them, and dare to take seats in the Senate chamber to 'set up a new government.' We all saw it live on TV, horrified at what was happening.

Not only must there be a trial, but these cretins must be forced to vote yea or nay in public. They cannot be allowed to dodge this.

[Tommymac]

19. Let me guess...when they were in school I bet the dog got fat on homework.

[Gothmog]

20. K&R

[MyMission]

23. Many are leaving the gop, in droves

In the days and weeks following the insurrection.

I've heard and read reports of mass migration of republicans. No links, but over 2,000 in Tampa area, almost 3,000 in NC that I recall, and another few thousand in Arizona, I think.

I suspect many of these folks are the ones who voted for Biden, but I hope a good number are remorseful tRump voters who are only now disgusted by the party.

Still, if the somewhat moral ones are leaving the party, it will be left with the hateful, complicit, and conniving dregs who will transform it to something I have no words for, except an actual cult, attacking anyone who goes against them (they already do that, but it will become required). The few reasonable ones that remain to fight for the party won't have an impact against a cult 45 mentality. And that mentality is evidenced by their lame excuses and continued denial of Biden's victory.

I've joked before that they're the ones with the guns, and we might see them actually shooting each other, but it wouldn't surprise me.

[calimary]

24. Man, is THIS one ever a keeper!

I’m still fit-to-be-tied about fucking Dennis McCarthy claiming everybody in America is to blame for what happened on January 6th!!!

EXCUSE ME?????!?!?!?!?!?!??!!!!??

Not on your life, Dennis. Only YOUR people did this. I’d venture to declare that there were exactly ZERO Democrats or “far leftists” in that mob. It was ALL YOUR people, dude. Far RIGHT people (or as I prefer to characterize them: Far WRONG!)!

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. You don't have to be crazy to fit in there,

but it helps.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. Republican wreck; they don't reason.

[Aussie105]

29. Trying to defend the indefensible!

What we see here is some poorly thought out 'defenses' and deflections from some very desperate people who see their power slip away!

Guys, your power has already slipped away. During the elections, during the swearing ins that happened recently.

So stop panicking, stop grasping at straws, and get real.
If you can't do that, resign, and go sulk in private.
