JamesMAstill No they can't until they put down their assault rifles.

JamesMAstill What about the DEMS burning cities?

JamesMAstill No it won’t. They act like this was reasonable. We got only 10 yeses in house from them. Like 80% of republicans think an actual terrorist shouldn’t be impeached. They are all either insane, retarded (and I mean that clinically) or evil. I can’t anymore.

JamesMAstill Unlikely

JamesMAstill Is that true, or did you read it in the Economist? LyingMSM

JamesMAstill

JamesMAstill Maybe that's Trumps plan all along. The military is called in, senate is dissolved. The military invokes Martial Law and starts a war with Iran to take people's problems away From the facts.

JamesMAstill The problem is if the Military is called in, will they give up this power When there done?

JamesMAstill Considering trumps hand picked minions are still running the RNC, I don't see this happening.

JamesMAstill That is true. Trump took on both parties and the establishment in Washington and had a fairly successful 4 years until covid showed up. The grass root republican is pleased and will be fired up for 2022...maybe Trump jr in 2024 if his father doesn't run...

JamesMAstill “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (OR WOMEN) to do nothing.”

JamesMAstill If the Congress impeach Trump over the sedition and insurrection he encouraged, the Republic Party has a much better chance of restoring their party. With Trump disqualified from holding office other aspirants will have a chance. There will be renewal.

JamesMAstill Republicans don’t dare to tread on the viper.

JamesMAstill Every farmer knows you don't plant peas and get a corn harvest....the Republicans are reaping the harvest of Trumpism and pledging allegiance to a singular figure...deal with it!

JamesMAstill How could the veterans give way so easily? Lincoln will never do so, he gave his life. Ronald Reagan will not. Take back your party and focus on building America together with the democrats.

JamesMAstill Yeah, because they're mostly RINOs.

JamesMAstill They can't recommit to something they never believed in to begin with.

JamesMAstill

JamesMAstill The Republican Party is dead - it’s now owned by Trump & his brown shirts! The final nail in this coffin will be failure to impeach the man they call president who seditiously incited insurrection ThreatToDemocracy NationalSecurityThreat AbuseOfPower ObstructionOfCongress

JamesMAstill I just registered as a demonrat. I plan on voting for a demonrat in the midterms. Mitch must go!

JamesMAstill Will not happen. 80 million Trump supporters are Not going back to the Republican norm.

JamesMAstill

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon When was it committed to democracy?

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon The American Carnage as you mentioned in your article may not subside after Trump departs. It will have to be managed, history reminds us about many instances about, what i think the out-going CIC meant. The path to impeachment is counter-productive...

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon No they will not. They will sink to the bottom of the ocean with this cinderblock around their necks.

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon This is not to old GOP. This is a radicalized cult, and their leader is Trump. Analysis based on the old GOP are not complete.

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon BLM more! The White right, also known as the Republicans in the US, have no shame on the crimes they have committed on People of Colour since first contact and continue to do so.

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon Short answer: probably not. That would require courage.

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon Politics. Man, what a joke. Its is all just evil vs evil. Watch this video to see what I mean:

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon Love the title😂😂😂

JamesMAstill It’s a Possibility that Senators & Congressmen colluded with the insurrectionist as Cruz & Hawley both gave speeches on Fake Voter Fraud I say fake as after 62 court cases no Fraud was found or suspected by the Judicial branch in 5 Battle Ground States. Actually Fraud was a lie

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon Short answer...no

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon When GOP leaders decide to dump Trump, Republican Party is breaking, that 75 million voters are not small numbers. We will see the consequences on 2022 election results.

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon

JamesMAstill rickperlstein imkahloon Yes, they can!

JamesMAstill If the GOP cannot retake its party, the. It is time for the GOP to die and a new party emerge. One that is more moderate and not corrupted by campaign donations

JamesMAstill ' THE FEAR OF THE PEOPLE ' Political agoraphobia & agoraphilia 'Democracy is a government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people.' Abraham Lincoln = DIRECT DEMOCRACY

JamesMAstill No we are teh Republican Party, they are not, project Lincoln cronies are like 1%

JamesMAstill Cut your losses and split the party.

Would love to read this but cannot subscribe because your website does not accept 'DC' as a value for a billing address. There might be some people in DC that would like to subscribe to The Economist. Just sayin'

JamesMAstill Give Communist and Chinese agent some years and they won’t need to do anything.

JamesMAstill Keep struggling, fuckwits.

JamesMAstill Exectly like Lukashenco

JamesMAstill Nope GOPInsurrectionists Gonna take a whole lot more than pessimism to divorce Trump Lobotomy might do the job

JamesMAstill THE END OF THE GOP IS IN FULL SWING!!! ALELUIA!!!🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

JamesMAstill GOP brought that to themselves

JamesMAstill They've shown no interest in doing so

JamesMAstill There is no come back from what Trump has done to the party. It will take many years for a Republican to smell the White House again. Trump brought out the Devil in all, they showed the world that the party is ruled by racists conspiracy theorists.

rickperlstein “Trumpism” will not disappear, he tapped something that US society must understand. If it were not for his sad handling of the pandemic, he would be serving a second term. It was a close and deeply polarized election.

rickperlstein Disappear?! This isn't a few people committing B&E at hotel.These people stormed place of business threatening all inside & bc they're WHITE & PROTESTANT- walked.Cry Law & Order & break every one. 4 dead in Benghazi CRIME! 5 dead at Capital - including police. OK. They were WHITE

rickperlstein You are Soo Wrong!!

rickperlstein “Memory hole”

rickperlstein Americans are in denial. 126 GOP Reps and 10 GOP senators voted to NOT recognize valid voting results. Trump the leader of the GOP incited the military wing of the GOP to storm the capitol and stop a constitutional process. GOP is an extremist organization. Pick a side

rickperlstein When America learns to define Presidential foibles as foibles, the camaraderie found in celebrating America’s successes can have real context. BuildBackBetter is a means to learn from failures - Promises of success and solutions for America in a world of homeless capitalists.

JamesMAstill Republicans are willingly uneducated, untalented, ignorant nihilists who have been relying on racism, nationalism, and privilege for the last decade. There’s really no coming back from that.

JamesMAstill Trump faces mounting demands to leave office or face impeachment

JamesMAstill What the republicans are saying is that they need extremists to win. Sad! Shameful!

JamesMAstill IMO, sane Republicans like myself need to form a new party.

JamesMAstill Nope

JamesMAstill praise hardworking Jewish people

JamesMAstill Great to see. Nobody deserves it more than Lindsay Graham, chickens coming home to roost.

JamesMAstill No. GOP is trash now.

JamesMAstill They had their chances to stop him. The gop is destroyed

JamesMAstill is this journalism? because your bias is showing

rickperlstein When any President fails spectacularly really

rickperlstein Comparing Trump to Bush over Iraq war? Are you insane? Any idea what that says about the US soldiers died and the civilian victims in the aftermath? No problem that you put pros and cons on Trump equally shitting on Trump has been your easiest job the past years. How medicore.
