Should they be expelled? Sure. Their "just asking questions" posture was a lie. They knew damn well that there was no election fraud and that Biden was properly elected president. So they participated in Trump's assault on democracy. (Likewise, most of the Republicans in the House deserve expulsion.)
It won't happen, though. The next real opportunity to get rid of Hawley and Cruz will be the 2024 election.
The obvious answer is yes. Isn't there something in the 14th Amendment that says if a person engages in insurrection, he can't hold an office in the federal government? Hawley is seen on video with raised fist urging the rioters on as they attacked the United States Government.
They should be expelled and then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They openly encouraged and aided in the violent overthrow of our democratically elected government.
Life in prison without the possibility of parole would be lenient.
Mitch McConnell folding like a cheap suit when Schumer threatened to kill the filibuster was a thing of beauty. Watching him kill it anyway will be even better. Maybe this time we won't shy away from using the power the voters just handed us, because the country really needs us to use the fuck out of it about now.
This debunks, again, the 68.5% error rate in Antrim Co, Michigan.
There are other issues with the report, too.
One of the specific claims made in the report — which was turned into a Twitter talking point by Trump — was that a “tabulation log for the forensic examination of the server for Antrim County from December 6, 2020 consists of 15,676 individual events, of which 10,667 or 68.05% of the events were recorded errors. These errors resulted in overall tabulation errors or ballots being sent to adjudication.”
But that “is based on a lack of understanding of the voting system,” Macias wrote.
Macias told us in a phone interview that the “errors” described in the report are, essentially, entries of alerts from tabulation event logs — and that they don’t mean that something went wrong.
The terms referenced in the report — “divert,” “reversed” and “override” — refer to standard, expected responses as the tabulators process the paper ballots, he wrote in his rebuttal.
For example, diverted ballots could be a ballot that is “marked by the voter with specific conditions (i.e., voter voted for a write-in or overvoted a contest),” so it is separated from the other ballots to be counted by elections officials. A reversed ballot, meanwhile, is a ballot being returned to the voter for some reason (it could be damaged, or be a ballot for the wrong precinct).
“To draw an analogy, calling these an error would be synonymous with stating that you reviewed a car’s logs and for each instance that the gas light turned on we will call it an error,” he wrote.
Yes they should be expelled. . . Hopefully the "evidence" to be presented in the Senate trial will accurately portray them both as co-inciters. . .It's amazing - two Ivy League law school graduates - who hate America this much. . .

"I found hearing the words "fifty state strategy" come out of Jaime Harrison's mouth just now to be very encouraging."
Not sure I 100% trust this guy. As Dem leader in S.C. he lost two winnable senate seats. The first one against Tim Scott should have been a gimme. The Dems ran an obscure unknown from Illinois against Tim Scott who was very vulnerable. Then he decided to run against Lady Lindsey himself. S.C. could very well have two Dems in the senate had those races been run properly. This may not be the guy, not to be a conspiracy nut but where are his loyalties? S.C. has a long history of shenanigans. Remember the guy they "found" to run for senate and couldn't even answer a simple question on Rachel's show?
“Not sure I 100% trust this guy. As Dem leader in S.C. he lost two winnable senate seats.”
I’m not sure why they didn’t make Stacey Abrams the DNC chair. She did a bang-up job organizing for the Dems in Georgia. I’d have thought that was an obvious call. Instead, they went with this Harrison dude.
It’s frustrating. The Democrats never seem to have anyone good managing their electoral strategy. Particularly in the state legislatures, where they don’t seem to see the importance of stopping the GOP from drawing the borders of all the state and federal districts to their own benefit.
Remember Mellissa Carone, aka Drunky McDrunkerson, one of Trump’s so-called experts on election fraud with her madcap, incoherently outraged testimony at a government hearing?
She’s looking to take her crazy behavior to the next level by running for the Michigan state legislature. I guess Michigan residents’ civic loss is everybody else’s entertainment gain.
Anon 4:36: I call her the Kraken. And now we know what krakens sound like. Maybe I should write a satirical fantasy tale with a kraken in it, who sounds as dumb as her.
When she speaks, she certainly sounds like she’s been smoking kraken.
Anyway, I think it should be a law that if Republicans are determined to elect idiotic politicians, they should all be at least as idiotic as Mellissa Carone, so we can enjoy laughing at them.
Yeah, and I don’t know if that means she was offered the DNC spot and turned it down in favor of running for governor, or whether she was never offered it.
But they sure should’ve tried to get her to take the job. Because the people who’ve had it recently have had pretty poor results.
"It’s frustrating. The Democrats never seem to have anyone good managing their electoral strategy. Particularly in the state legislatures, where they don’t seem to see the importance of stopping the GOP from drawing the borders of all the state and federal districts to their own benefit."
The last really good DNC chair we had was Howard Dean, from '05 to '09, when we came back from irrelevance to trifecta in two consecutive election cycles, under his "50 state strategy", which is why I was encouraged to hear the new DNC chair use the phrase.
I would settle for party leadership that paid more attention to the state-level races, instead of fixating only on winning control of the federal government.
According to Raw Story, it appears that many Republicans are quite horrified over the events of January 6th and are changing their party affiliation.

I wonder what a president has to do before he/she is tried and convicted - nuke New York City?
The goddamn Republicans would LOVE it if a goddamn Republican president nuked New York City. But they think that since it's been three weeks, we should just forget the violent attempt to overthrow the government that killed five people. I wonder how that way of thinking would work with any other crime: "Sorry your honor, but I did storm that Apple Store and hold them up at gunpoint and murder five employees, but it's been three weeks now, so don't you think we should just move on from it and not inflame divisions between Mac and PC users with a public trial?" (h/t: Blue Girl)
“But they think that since it's been three weeks, we should just forget the violent attempt to overthrow the government that killed five people. I wonder how that way of thinking would work with any other crime ...”
It’s already worked at the Supreme Court. They threw out all the Emoluments Clause lawsuits against Trump, since, according to them, the lawsuits are moot now that Trump is out of office.
Which is ridiculous. Trump’s still got all the loot he raised by leveraging his powers as president for personal gain. The courts could try to assess how much cash that adds up to, and confiscate it.
So, since the news media broke this story, I'm thinking Enrique Tarrio has probably been having a very bad day. It can't be easy running right-wing extremist organization after everyone finds out you're a narc for the feds.
So what was it that snitches get? I can't remember. Was it cupcakes? Peach cobbler? Free gas points at the grocery store? Or was it some kind of pussy left wing health care bullshit?
Should Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley being booted from the Senate?
Don't be silly.
At least once in their term of office, all elected officials should be allowed to instigate a Coup D'état attempt, whip up a mob to bum-rush the capitol, and hunt down Congressional Critters to be arrested or even hung from a lamp post.
Anything else would be divisive.

PilotX, when you encounter these posts, just copy and paste because they are usually taken word for word from the extreme right wing site, like Epoch Times. I did. Give it a shot.
4101 bodies got counted Wednesday, the 27th. Each had its own name. Each was a real American. Each will be missed by family members. Each died of covid. Each death is attributable to drumpf/noem incompetence. Each stoopid fucking wingnut is also accountable.
What do you think motivates a person to behave like this? What's in it for him/her?
He gets to spout all the lies he wants without getting the ban hammer, the way drumpf thinks all social media should operate. I doubt any frequent visitor here could get a single comment on a drumpf loving site. They can't handle the truth and hate getting their feelers hurt by the truth.
The Epoch Times is a publication of Falun Gong, a persecuted religious group in China.
Many members of Falun Gong have been imprisoned, so, naturally, they are strongly opposed to the Chinese government. Unfortunately, they hitched their wagon to Trump and spread a bunch of made-up conspiracy theories on his behalf, mainly because they don't understand American politics and don't realize that Trump's opposition to the Chinese government is insincere and opportunistic and only a position he adopted to win over xenophobic American voters. Trump couldn't give a shit about blue-collar Americans and their jobs lost to offshoring, much less some oppressed Chinese religious minority.
All of which is a long-winded way of saying that the Epoch Times is complete junk.
Some good news on judiciary fron, at least 5 senior wingnut judges announce their retirement as soon as it was safely determined Biden was legally elected. !0 Dems waited until the election was over so their replacements will be chosen by Biden, as well.
"PilotX, when you encounter these posts, just copy and paste because they are usually taken word for word from the extreme right wing site, like Epoch Times. I did. Give it a shot."
So, these cowards not only can't use a name so they won't have to take credit for B.S. and now they're too bitchassed to give credit to the source of their B.S.? Wow, and to think these are the self-professed bold "revolutionaries".
The Epoch Times used to have a good science section. Then it switched that section to new-age woo-woo, and I stopped picking it up. It wasn't worth getting, even for free.
It looks like congressional Republicans have given up on “now is time for healing” and “aren’t we really ALL responsible for Trump supporters storming the Capitol?” (LOL)
Since both of those lines failed to get any traction, their newest approach to avoiding any kind of accountability is to claim that impeachment of an ex-president is actually unconstitutional. Even though this is a transparent lie; nothing in the Constitution required a politician to currently be in office when impeached.
Whatever. At this point, lying is standard operating procedure for the GOP.
More information about freshman congress-kook Marjorie Taylor Greene keeps rolling in. She has quite the resume. She’s apparently never met a crank conspiracy theory she didn’t like.
As if it weren’t bad enough that she thinks that national Democrats are involved in a giant Satanic pedo ring, and that school shootings are “false flag” operations, and that Hillary Clinton had Seth Rich murdered. She also apparently believes in Jewish space lasers:
(their claimd) are usually taken word for word from the extreme right wing site, like Epoch Times. I did. Give it a shot." --------------- That must by why they are so reluctant to provide their sources.
That's a big 10-4!

Worst economic growth since WW2 thanks to drumpf and stoopid fucking wingnuts.

I'm with you, Anon. I say, hell no; not until we have accountability. Jail the rioters and destroy all traces of the orange demon from hell.

This anonymous troll insists that COVID19 has a mortality of one percent. He/she knows it's a lie, but perpetuates it anyway. What do you think motivates a person to behave like this? What's in it for him/her?
UPDATE: HANK AARON DIES FROM COVID VACCINE SHOT - News Alert: Hank Aaron DEAD, baseball legend and former home run king, dies at 86 - Hank Aaron went on national TV the other day showing how safe it is to get the Chinese Red Death Covid-19 Flu Vaccine in order to push fellow Negroes to get the vaccine.... Hank died in his sleep shortly after getting this 100% safe vaccine without any signs of illness. So much for promoting the vaccine there Hank!

ReplyDelete4101 bodies got counted Wednesday, the 27th. Each had its own name. Each was a real American. Each will be missed by family members. Each died of covid. Each death is attributable to drumpf/noem incompetence.
ReplyDeleteEach stoopid fucking wingnut is also accountable.
Hank Aaron died of natural causes, not covid injection.

ReplyDeleteHe gets to spout all the lies he wants without getting the ban hammer, the way drumpf thinks all social media should operate. I doubt any frequent visitor here could get a single comment on a drumpf loving site. They can't handle the truth and hate getting their feelers hurt by the truth.

ReplyDeleteThe Epoch Times is a publication of Falun Gong, a persecuted religious group in China.
Many members of Falun Gong have been imprisoned, so, naturally, they are strongly opposed to the Chinese government. Unfortunately, they hitched their wagon to Trump and spread a bunch of made-up conspiracy theories on his behalf, mainly because they don't understand American politics and don't realize that Trump's opposition to the Chinese government is insincere and opportunistic and only a position he adopted to win over xenophobic American voters. Trump couldn't give a shit about blue-collar Americans and their jobs lost to offshoring, much less some oppressed Chinese religious minority.
All of which is a long-winded way of saying that the Epoch Times is complete junk.
Does anyone know if "Anonymous" is bipolar? Just asking...
ReplyDeleteHank Aaron died from reading the Trump-supporting Epoch Times and QAnon!!!
ReplyDeleteSome good news on judiciary fron, at least 5 senior wingnut judges announce their retirement as soon as it was safely determined Biden was legally elected. !0 Dems waited until the election was over so their replacements will be chosen by Biden, as well.

ReplyDeleteSo, these cowards not only can't use a name so they won't have to take credit for B.S. and now they're too bitchassed to give credit to the source of their B.S.? Wow, and to think these are the self-professed bold "revolutionaries".
The Epoch Times used to have a good science section. Then it switched that section to new-age woo-woo, and I stopped picking it up. It wasn't worth getting, even for free.
ReplyDeleteCOVID deniers keep bitching about how they are being victimized when forced to wear a mask. But just wait until they hear about the anal swabs.

It looks like congressional Republicans have given up on “now is time for healing” and “aren’t we really ALL responsible for Trump supporters storming the Capitol?” (LOL)
ReplyDeleteSince both of those lines failed to get any traction, their newest approach to avoiding any kind of accountability is to claim that impeachment of an ex-president is actually unconstitutional. Even though this is a transparent lie; nothing in the Constitution required a politician to currently be in office when impeached.
Whatever. At this point, lying is standard operating procedure for the GOP.
More information about freshman congress-kook Marjorie Taylor Greene keeps rolling in. She has quite the resume. She’s apparently never met a crank conspiracy theory she didn’t like.
ReplyDeleteAs if it weren’t bad enough that she thinks that national Democrats are involved in a giant Satanic pedo ring, and that school shootings are “false flag” operations, and that Hillary Clinton had Seth Rich murdered. She also apparently believes in Jewish space lasers:
Marjorie Taylor Greene penned conspiracy theory that a laser beam from space started deadly 2018 California wildfire
Citizens of Georgia who actually voted for this crazy broad, go stand in the corner. You’re on time-out.
