During senate impeachment rules processes and parliamentary proceedings today, Senator Rand Paul proposed a smart point of order requiring a senate vote on dismissing the impeachment case against President Trump. Essentially this dismissal vote will reflect the baseline, worst case, final outcome, vote of any impeachment trial.
The Senate then took up a motion to table the dismissal point of order. The motion to table passed 55-45; meaning 55 senators want to impeach President Donald Trump and 45 senators voted to dismiss the entire case:
The good news is this will represent the worst case scenario on the final impeachment vote 55 yes / 45 nay. The impeachment will definitely fail in February, and President Trump now knows the disposition of the final outcome. [Though it could get better]
The bad news is 5 republican senators just voted to impeach President Trump. They are: Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Nebraska), and Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania).
Murkowski and Toomey are both up for reelection in 2022. However, Pat Toomey has indicated he is not running for reelection. So the most immediate 2022 target should be on Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
Coming for you Senator Murkowski !
Thank you Senator Rand Paul !
Heheheh… I hope Don Jr sets up residence in Alaska
Palin will win in a rout.
And just WHO owns the machines used to count the votes?…….
I never understood why Palin resigned 2.5 years into her four year term as Governor for Alaska. Aside from misconduct (which I do not think happened), I believe public service requires one to finish out their full term…The electorate elected her; she should have honored that commitment.
I don’t think we’ll ever get the truth, but she took the kind of pounding that is only surpassed by Trump because neither one of them had a party to protect them. Both were/are outsiders.
Both the left and the right (pols) went after her. May McCain rot.
She resigned because the cost of defending her against frivolous lawsuits was coming out of the Alaska treasury, and she didn’t want people to lose their tax monies in that way.
When Palin returned to Alaska following the 2008 campaign, the left began filing lawsuits & ethics complaints against her, along with a flood of FOIA requests. She & her staff were spending more time dealing with these issues than doing the job she was elected to do. Due to ethics laws at the time, Palin was also personally responsible for her own legal fees.
The goal was to bring the executive office to a standstill & bankrupt the Palin family. The filing of complaints & the manufactured chaos would have continued if she had remained in office. Gov. Palin resigned so the state could move forward.
I did not realize the left continued their assault after the 2008 election loss. I do remember when McCain announced his selection of her as VP, the left went bananas that he had selected a woman. They were just seething with hatred.
Once we get beyond the Dominion issue, we are going to have to strategize and beat the democrats into oblivion.
YES!
Alaska will be using that rank voting systems. They’ll have an open primary (all parties) where the top four will be in the general election which will use the ranking voting method. Another voting mess in the works
I thought a previous poster’s comment about Senator Leahy being taken to a hospital tonight must be some kind of ephemism for the vote today. But… he was indeed taken to a hospital. And he had just been sworn in to preside over this faux impeachment.
The impeachment is DOA.
But it will be held. You did hear Schumer’s statement after Paul’s. And Patrick Leahy is the one sworn in to preside.
This day is getting weirder by the minute. News now reporting Leahy did not feel well this evening and was taken to hospital after being examined by staff physician at the capitol. Really.
https://www.newsmax.com/us/patrick-leahy-senate-pro-tempore-trial/2021/01/26/id/1007345/
Leahy is another ungrateful fake Irishman cheerleading for the destruction of White European Americans. Why? He doesn’t have enough $$$?
He sounded like the Cookie Monster and his mask might be a little thick, Fauci said he should wear 2. I for once agree with Fauci,
Well now if two is good, for the “good” senator lets just round it up to 3 to be on the safe side.
No no no. Fauci did not say he would wear 2. He was talking about what we should wear now.
It’s not like Leahy is a spring chicken in the prime of his life. Granted, as a Democrat in Leadership in the US Congress he appears young and healthy in comparison to his peers, to say nothing of the mannequin in the WH called Biden*, but this is not a surprise.
Perhaps Leahy is feeling a little stress considering all the national attention he is receiving.
Or the hand of God?
You are probably correct. I think God is telling him something and to the rest of the evil in Congress.
yes, I know another troublesome Dem who felt the hand of God when he went in for simple surgery during Christmas break a few years ago.
Are you kidding? He slurs his words so badly he’s hard to understand, been that way for a few years. In a month or two he’ll be 81. Get OUT! The damn seat doesn’t belong to him!
He is probably a heavy drinker after 3pm.
They should have let Dr Jill check him out!
PRES Trump has supernatural powers!
It’s illegitimate… a PR stunt.
Yes. Look! Squirrel!!
Distract from HR1, boys in girls locker rooms, open borders, etc.
Not to mention the PRC is rehearsing missile attacks on US Navy aircraft carriers. The leftist cabal is in way over its collectivist heads.
Unless … they are working with the CCP to harm our navy.
Yes…. PT will not be convicted but this is all… still so enraging to me.
For 4 years we have watched our President be brutalized, accused, investigated relentlessly… Its abusive… and it IS abuse of us too.
We WAITED… for justice, fairness, decency to occur.. and it never happened and these evil people just keep doing MORE and more to humiliate and destroy the President… and us too.
Its… actual… ABUSE. PT and we never even got the honeymoon period in 2017 just to enjoy the victory.
The leftist were burning buildings and rioting ON the day of PT’s inauguration… and the next day was that nasty pink pussy hat brigade of mean girls disparaging the President.
Its very hard to endure… and now PT and we will be subjected to another accusatory senate trial intended to destroy a good man and a very good President while the left/dems are giddy with pleasure at “getting DT” andus too– painting us as bad/crazy extremists when the opposite is true.
++ all the targeting and hunting down of anyone who even attended the Jan 6 protest by a dangerously corrupt and untrustworthy FBI, DOJ.
Its abuse. We ARE being abused and deliberately demoralized (a soviet tactic) … and there is no end in sight if u listen to Wray, Brennan, others, the MSM.
Venting ended
Very well put. I dare say that most everyone at TCTH is right there with you!
But the Dems still held a Clown Parade
Interesting, and that only the chief justice of the SCOTUS is charged with presiding over that. Its all moot anyway. You cant legally impeach a private citizen.
Power has blinded them.
This was the Scotus blog commentary on Roberts not presiding over the upcoming kangaroo show:
https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/01/roberts-will-not-preside-over-impeachment-trial/
“The president pro tempore has historically presided over Senate impeachment trials of non-presidents.”
Yeah, office holders. Nice try, Leahy.
The lephttt always over reaches. Every. Time.
Of course they do, Republicans never stand up to them.
Yes. They can’t impeach a private citizen.
They also cannot conduct a trial without the Chief Justice.
They also just voted that their own trial was unconstitutional.
Clown show indeed.
What was he taken to the hospital for?
Did his tongue catch fire?
Don’t know. I assume he and the rest of Congress insisted they were essential workers and jumped to the head of the COVID vaccination line.
Cranial rectal conversion.
*inversion
HE THEREFORE NEEDS A COLONOSCOPY!
orally
Is it terminal?
No but the impeachment is DOA.
If it was, we wouldn’t have any dimocrats left…
He wasn’t “feeling well”.
The ER diagnosis on Leahy is Sickle Cell Anemia Sympathy Syndrome! He wants to die because he’s not black.
No…he started having a nervous breakdown because he started having second thoughts about this Impeachment.
ROTFLMAO!
He lit a cigar behind Eric Swallwell
?????
Forked.
I understand this sounds course, but I’m just being brutally honest. I could care less about Leary’s well being. I’m from the school of thought if someone is an SOB or sick, that does not change reality. Often I’ve heard people eulogized who were of very poor character. But to hear the eulogy, you wanted to open the casket and see if they were paying tribute to another person. It doesn’t for me.
SOB Rene Leveques awarded Order of Canada. George Floyd. George Floyd George Floyd George Floyd. Probably the best display of Cultural Marxism in a while.
And anyone with an IQ above room temperature, knows that George Floyd was a pos thug. But he was heralded as a pillar of virtue. And of course a complicit media and spineless politicians who dare not acknowledge this.
These sewer bags who are destroying the West live a long time without any major health issues.
Meanwhile good people, especially young people, get diseases that many succumb to.
All of these vile people, like Pelosi/Soros/McConnell need to start dropping.
It bites.
Well – if Leahy happened to die – he would be replaced by a Republican Senator by the Republican Governor of Vermont would he not and then McConnell could gather the caucus to vote to dismiss?
Or if the 5 refused – that would mean Chuck Grassley presiding!?!?
Ridiculous or what?!?!?
Depends on VT law. Some states require the governor to appoint a senator from the same party as the senator who left office.
No, Grassley wouldn’t preside. It’s the longest serving senator in the majority party. Although until the VT governor appointed someone, the GOP would be in the majority 50-49.
I feel as if Year 2020 said, “You’ll never see a year as freaky as mine,” and Year 2021 said, “Hold my beer….”
Frankenstein
Little Dick
MadMax
But there isn’t a majority party. It is split and I think that is after counting two independents as democrats. Kamala is there as VP who gets to vote only in tie situations.
The governor of VT already said that if sanders left to join the Biden administration, he would replace him with another socialist leaning independent.
Typical Republican politician.
What else would you expect from Vermont?
We should donate Vermont to Quebec.
Pretty convenient eh…
When hearing that on the news the phrase “Trump curse” came to mind, remembering when that lady skier said she would refuse to attend a WH celebration ceremony should the Woman’s Ski team win that year’s Olympics – and she immediately failed the cut and never made it onto the ski team.
There were others that has happened to as well. Wonder what his health issue is – covidfluenza?
Maybe CONgress got a bad batch of vaccine. Mark of the beast will do that to you.
Isn’t Biden due for a second vaccine shot?
Lindsey Vaughn. She had a career ending injury, though she tried to continue for a while.
Same with the Falcons losing the Super Bowl. They had some players saying awful things, and leftists were happy at half time when they were winning. Then Tom Brady came back from behind for one of the best Super Bowl wins in my lifetime.
I’m hoping and praying the Trump Curse visits Biden and Harris.
Lindsey Vonn. Did a lot of whining and complaining before her career ending injury.
and she showed her crotch to the world… pure class, that one.
The Bill stayed in the locker room during the National Anthem. How did they fair?
Buffalo Bills.
Perhaps the Holy Spirit pricked Senator Leahy’s heart.
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Jer. 17:9
If the Lord can move my heart HE can move just about anyone’s.
Red Man did it.
Another guy too old and hanging on to the seat like it “belongs” to him.
He’ll be diagnosed with the WhuFlu (Chyna Virus) and have to quarantine for 10 days. He’ll be back just in time to “preside” over the sham.
87 Yr Old Diane Feinstein is that corpse Jim Leahy’s older replacement I bet she’ll conceal carry like she used to. Sorry, “Senator” Jim Leahy. Democrat Trailer Park Senate Supervisor. I think little Dick Durbin is next
Seems like an omen to me!
Another lifer, 47 years in public service seems all the democrats are a little long in the tooth.
BREAKING: Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy Taken to Hospital After Presiding Over Opening of Sham Impeachment Trial

How did you select your screen name?
Lol
Thanks for sharing your opinion of a large number of us. Way to win friends and influence people. How do you really feel?
LM won via losing in primary, then reapplying late as an independent – too late to be pre-printed on ballot – then campaigned to AL as a Senate write-in candidate and won over the 2 established parties. A write-in, won a Senate seat.
[ There is likely more to that story, then the above ]
Yes, integrity in elections is questionable. Many people know (and so does the news, that chooses via marching orders, to be in denial for 3 months, about saying so – at this time.)
Senate seat$ have become very expensive (especially when someones virtues are questionable, and unasked….) – and the stories of where the money comes from, to pay for disinformation – and made public – is usually way, way after it matters.
And she got a court to rule that votes counted for her even if they spelled her name incorrectly. And of course the state legislature did nothing.
Ad rem is like the gentle shepherd as he judiciously wacks us in the ribs to create reasonable boundaries for rightful free speech and staying on topic.
Too little too late, fair weather friend Rand!
Long time reader, but seldom posted.Everything on Treehouse reset back to December when I logged in today – I’m posting so I can read comments again. Many times that is the highlight of my day!!
We will have Rand Paul in our Party. He may not agree with everything we want, but he does understand and support all of our Constitutional liberties. Some of these Senators will come around to our way of thinking over the next few months.
Have you ever had your mind changed by the things that happen to you? Rand spent the summer being harassed by the Antifa/BLM punks. That puts him on our side.
Sorry, but we will need overwhelming numbers to pull this off, and Rand Paul seems to have real integrity to me. PDJT likes Rand Paul, and he knows him better than either of us do. Right now, that is good enough for me.
Didn’t Rand vote in favor of the electors? Did Paul make a real effort to research the evidence of an election steal? I can confidently answer no? How? Because if he had there would have been no way he could had voted to accept the electors from the swing states. Not if he loved this country and believed in the constitution. Rand voted to move forward with the inauguration of a criminal who is in business with the Chinese Government. What kind of Representative would do such a thing? Case closed.
TPW,some people here seem to have forgotten things like that.
I remember President Trump signed a spending bill the likes of which he swore he would never sign again. It allowed billions of our tax dollars to be sent overseas when we have people here hurting terribly.
I remember President Trump did not pardon many people I hoped he would pardon.
Neither of those are little things. They’re pretty big. I didn’t like them, but I did not quit on President Trump because of it. Seeking perfection is a fools’ errand.
Some of us know we don’t get perfect. That was a bad day to judge anyone’s behavior. Paul is a decent man.
I agree that Paul is a decent man. How about Cotton, who betrayed the President as well. We gonna let him back as well.
Folks, wake up, please.
I respect those on here who support Paul. But when it counted he did not support us. It’s that simple folks. Now he has his hat out asking for votes because he is up in 22.
Why would anyone vote for this fraud? Primary him at least. He voted on January 6 against his constituents. Don’t let him get away with it.
TPW,
People have short memories. Rand Paul could at least, have gone along with the little Ted Cruz scam. That alone would have gotten me to support him. Now I just want to primary him. He is a coward! Primary the guy.
I don’t care where he stands now, when it counted he was MIA. He is in the same category as Rubio.
Say what you want about Senator Paul but he can orate like a statesman and put some onus on the other party. That is something sorely lacking on the R side.
He is up in 22. He had better prove himself from now until then and Mike Lee is a TOTAL FAIL. Nobody will fight their Masters of the Universe owners,I mean Donors.yeah. Steyn brilliantly stated Culture “Trumps” Politics. And Trump is almost trumping Politics. And it’s not a cult. It’s a movement of every Patriot. WORLDWIDE. You have to fix this, we can’t from here but I’ll do everything I can to wake people up to mediapartyunipartycabal. It’s here too in Glorious Kanada
Murkowski knows she is done and her hope is she finds a Uniparty landing spot.
There was no surprise in the vote and it underscores the fact that even if GA Senate seats were not stolen the Republicans were destined to be the minority party in the Senate.
Yes, we always had 5 less than everyone was saying.
She knows nothing of the sort.
Were she worried about losing her seat because of this, she’d have cast her vote differently.
She knows Daddy’s friends will always finance her and support her and if, by chance, the polls for the GOP in AK go against her, she can always run as a Dem or an Indy.
Five signalling that they will vote to impeach is six too many when only one voting so is enough to nullify the Repubs during the next elections (those not Dominion-targeted, of course).
They voted to hear the case. It is likely that one or more may decide the evidence of inciting insurrection is lacking. Some may still vote to impeach, despite the fact that a conviction appears off the table now.
Portman, who is not running for re-election, just said he could still vote to impeach. (!?! He thinks it’s unconstitutional to try the case, but not to vote to convict after that trial??)
Portman must have some little boy and/or girl skeletons in his closet.
this comment is disgusting and should be pulled by Admin
and shame on you for posting it and shame on the people that upvoted it and shame on the people that read it and didn’t flag it
If a Republican like Rob Portman won’t run for re-election, don’t hold out for a Trump-free GOP
After the attack on Congress by radical Trump supporters, there was some optimism that the party might reject Trumpism. That looks less and less likely.
Damn right
Trumpism is here to stay
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/if-republican-rob-portman-won-t-run-re-election-don-ncna1255603
No shame in stating this. Many in the ruling classes are pedophiles. Many. I would say even most are sick pervs.
The hard fact’s most people choose not to see.
There was an opinion piece in the Washington Post in 2020, highlighted by the Townhall web site, that advocating for reducing popular elections to merely being opinion polls, with the true leaders being the bureaucrats, and perhaps a ruling council appointed by great minds like Fauci. The electoral college could easily be mutated into the panel of great minds that appoints the putative leaders. Our politboro?
If electronic voting machines remain in service, then “adjusting” any and all elections will remain an easy task. The Uniparty will share power as they, and only they, see fit. Note the 50/50 split in the Senate, and the nearly 50/50 split of the House.
Romney, Sasse and many others, may only be marking time until our new de facto system of government becomes manifest, and then official. Trump was the last quaint dinosaur who believed the opinion of the common American mattered, or more accurately, counted.
During Trump’s first impeachment, note the indignation of Vindman and the other bureaucrats that Trump failed to follow their orders. Insubordination is grounds for dismissal. Now, we puzzle over who is giving Biden his orders? We should have a pretty good idea.
I don’t puzzle over that at all, especially not after listening to the war room interview with Mike McCormick today about a meeting between two former vice presidents.
I know who gives Xiden orders.
Mr. President. File a Petition for Writ of Prohibition to Prevent the remainer of the trial.
There is no judicial oversight of impeachment proceedings, other than the role played during trial by the Chief Justice.
.
It’s not an impeachment trial. It’s a farce.
Mitch is the leader. Why would China-Mitch not vote along with the filthy 5 RINOs if he really believed that President trump caused the hooliganism at the Capital. If PDJT caused insurrection Mitch’s vote should have reflected so, or there never should have been a vote in the first place. This should have been binary for Leader McConnell (f-ing communist)
Quit wasting time and playing at politics. Solve some stinking problems
People in Kentucky are ratteling his cage. He is jervous.
yep he had to flex his muscle to squash his censure over the weekend by the state party….
Mitch probably cut a deal, his vote to avoid censure. Everything is for sale with China Mitch.
Actually, our problems are largely a part of their efforts.
Send them all home and leave us alone already.
“if he realy belived that President Trump caused the hooliganism at the Capital”
Really?
It is part of a “narrative” and the facts have nothing to do with it.
Mitch wet his pant on Jan 6th, hearing loud noises down the hall. Also, his wife was furious at Trump, storming out of his cabinet in protest. These are the reasons he accused Trump of instigating the “riot”. The blowback from his remarks has him freighted again in the other direction. Mitch McConnell is a coward, and that explains his behavior.
Mitch is between a rock and a MAGA place.
What did the China doll get so upset about?
Her husband told her to quit. Probably the least productive cabinet secretary next to Betsy Vos.
He did vote with the other five. Was misreported!
Really?
Another mystery of exceptionalism USA; how are Democrats allowed to vote in Republican primaries by “writing in”? Do none of the deep thinker Republicans understand the potential use of that by the Democrats?
Then again, any party that allows voting machines controlled by their opposition is as dumb as nine chickens and not salvageable.
The GOPe loves open primaries. They want Democrats and Liberal Independents voting in GOP primaries because it make it likely the more liberal GOPe candidate wins.
Yep. To the ruling class it’s a feature not a bug.
They’re not dumb. They’re calculating,…always calculating.
Figuring how to extract the most personal benefit for the short and long term,…reprehensible!
That party is controlled by craven McConnell, is institutionally corrupt, and is largely populated with various ineffective or stupid politicians. On their best days they are completely rudderless and in the way, most often they serve no purpose other than to be Democrat flaks.
These are the 5 who have blocked and rejected everything president Trump did. Same suspects. But their judgment will come on swift wings.
God will not be mocked
RUN SARAH RUN!!!!
Blessings upon Rand Paul for this smart move.
Murkowski, Romney and Sasse are officially RINO primary election targets. CANNOT wait for the day until they are removed from the Senate.
And, Marriott has defended Romney’s positions by stating they will not donate to the GOP. Note, I had the opportunity to stay at Marriott hotels (long time rewards member) during a road trip. Passed on all of them.
Is mitt still on the Board at Marriott?
How many illegal immigrants and Bros in da hood stay at Marriott Hotels? I’m constantly confused by corporate executives especially in the entertainment and broadcast industry who hate the White European Americans who have provided them with all their wealth and power. Did illegal immigrants make them rich or the boyz in da hood??? Somebody tell me!
More and more of the big corporations are going “woke”. The World Economic Forum is happening in Davos right now. The wokeness is set to amp up.
Marriott loves them some cheap illegal alien labor. Amps up quarterly profits and stock value for the Romney crime family.
Marriott has hotels in China and hopes to grow there.
They ALREADY were!!! So what? It doesn’t seem they are scared.
Is there a point to your boorish comments asshole?
Can we count the Senate vote in the middle of the night and add millions of votes for President Trump?
Because that’s how these goddam criminals do it now.
If it’s good enough for a pedophile Chinese Poodle, it’s good enough for the man who actually won the election.
It’s an ignorant person who cannot express themselves without taking The Lord’s name in vain.
I am quite sure the Lord is big enough to have not taken any offense. Especially given the circumstances.
Maybe the Lord won’t take offense, but many of us did. Seems to me mature adults should be able to express their feelings without having to resort to profanity.
That’s not what one of Donald J. Trump’s heroes, George S. Patton, said.
According to Moses, He does take offense.
Exodus 20:7 — Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.
What’s with this holier than thou bullshit?
So judgmental. I’m sure the good lord is looking down his nose at you, too. Keep that in mind.
Actually, I was cursing them by their own god, not God.
“In fighting those who serve devils one always his this on one’s side; their Masters hate them as much as they hate us. The moment we disable the human pawns enough to make them useless to Hell, their own Masters finish the work for us. They break their tools.”–C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength
I took my flag down today because this is no longer the United States of America. It will not fly again until Justice prevails. I hope that bothers you more than my language.
I took mine down as well. I folded according to my Girl Scout training! I now have “Don’t Tread on Me” flying on my porch, as does my neighbor.
Not true. Just ask the person nicely if he or she would mind not using that language.
It’s not a sign of ignorance.
You are so correct and it is so disappointing our President is elected by fraudulent votes. I thought for sure this could never happen and the crime would be made accountable. We now have a Communist-style Government.
I wonder why the Military doesn’t rectify it? Communist China now has the most strongest, modern military in the World. …..United State of China.
Why doesn’t the military rectify it?
Because, among other things, the Pentagon helped out in causing it.
That is one possibility.
Another one is that the timing to jump to action is not yet the right time.
I feel the frustration that many folks have, but we have to remember that the military and other white hats have so much more information than you and I have, and that there are very good reasons for not doing anything significant yet.
Trust GOD and pray for his deliverance.
The FBI has a lot more information than we do to. Are you hoping they will come to the nations rescue?
“Our” president?!
f’in’ criminals, but other than that, I totally agree with you!
I guarantee there are a bunch of others, but they have seen the handwriting on the wall. Tom Cotton comes to mind?
Little known fact.
Biden is Austrian for vegetable.
Well known fact. Biden anywhere is thief.
Biden is a cannibal. He eats other vegetables..
That is so witty. I need to remember that one.
Who could possibly have predicted these 5 Senators would do this?
Didn’t Trump just endorse Sasse & Collins just last year!!
Sasse wasn’t up, but Trump did endorse Collins. She voted for Kavanaugh, so he owed her something. She didn’t vote for ACB, but said that it was only the close timing to the election that was the reason; since ACB made it past without Collins’ vote, and he wanted the GOP to hold on to the Senate Trump didn’t back off his endorsement.
It is surprising as to Collins, since she based her Kavanaugh vote on the lack of evidence and the American legal principle of the presumption of innocence. If she cared about getting the law right, one would think that she’d agree a private citizen cannot be impeached.
I don’t get Collins; yes, she needs the dems to win, but the only reason she won was because the people in the northern part of the state voted en mass due to Trump..does she not realize that?
She’s thinking that a lot can change until 2026, when she’s next up for re-election, and who knows if Trump will be in the White House or in politics by then.
Susan Collins is 68 y/o. I hope she intends to go home and retire in 2026 if not before.
heck, she has at least another 20 years in the senate …
She has too much energy because she never does anything. I don’t understand how she or Lisa ever made a decision to run for office; they can’t even decide what to order for lunch.
Well, being she is a piece of crap traitor and keeps getting reelected….. I doubt she worries about it.
I wonder who she had to sleep with to get that Dominion algorithm working so well in her favor?
Seriously? Collins would be attractive to someone?
I explained that too.
Yes, Sasse was just re-elected. Trump did endorse him in 2019 but withdrew it in 2020 because the guy–who has multiple college degrees–is an incredibly arrogant piece of dodo.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/10/17/trump-calls-for-republicans-to-replace-ben-sasse-over-critical-remarks/?sh=61616b1a53d3
We can call Senator S(ass)e’s office until we are blue in the face. He doesn’t listen to us in Nebraska. Everyone I know voted for Matt Innis in the primary. Sasse is a disgrace to our good state. Lately, his office doesn’t answer the phone or the voice mail is full. He does NOT represent us!
Sasse was re-elected this year and Trump did endorse. Then, Sasse proceeded to trash him in a radio interview.
Yes, Nebraska voters are livid with Sasse. We have a group trying to censure him like they did to Liz Cheney. Livid is being nice.
Collins is my Senator, I gave her a lovely, profanity free e-mail today, reminding her to get out of Washington DC, and visit Washington County, Me. more often, she might find out what non-government employed Americans think.
If the election had been fair and free we would have had a Senator from Michigan, Arizona, and two from Georgia. The senate should be in republicans hands and McConnell should be hopping mad his speakership was stolen along with the presidency.
McConnell hauls in more graft and bribes while in the minority.
Plus not responsible for all the FUBAR while the other half of the Uniparty does its SNAFU.
Money for nothin’ …
She’s a calculating pol, always has been in a state that has moved left. The relatively small population does have a politically active lesbian population that she fears.
The thing is she loves to portray herself as a thinker when she isn’t. As Wethal points out, her votes contradict one another. She’s slime.
The devil you know….
Not going to matter one bit unless this get’s fixed [scroll down to map]..
here is a link to some links to try to help you and others get started on removing the dominion mess.
previous post of mine on here with some useful links
Yep, and it definitely made a difference. It effectively silenced the majority and not was done about it and nothing will be done about it.
Their tagline at the bottom of the page would be funny, if it weren’t so serious.
“If you have a pulse, I am with you!” Hilarious.
I think that tweet shows President Trumps opinion of many elected officials in congress, dumber than a box of rocks, comatose most of the time, or outright criminals, or all three
In the end, I think Collins will not vote to convict. Toomey is retiring but he might have a conscience too.
Collins said she went over the evidence on Kavanaugh, and given the presumption of innocence, there just wasn’t enough there to vote against him. One hopes she will follow the same principle this time.
Toomey has said he does not plan to run for PA governor, so there’s really no political considerations in his vote.
Don’t be fooled.. She voted for Kavanuagh because she is close to the Bush Family and W wanted Kavanaugh in so I am sure she had a chat with him and THAT is why she voted for Kavanaugh..
Nebraska & Utah need to recall their senators immediately!
There is no recall of federal officeholders.
If the Seventeenth Amendment were to be repealed, State legislatures could recall Senators. Repeal would reallocate control of the Senate to the states instead of the Washington elite.
Yes, the original method of selecting Senators had them actually representing their home states.
The 17th amendment has been a disaster.
Exactly. The Senate was supposed to represent the individual state’s interests at the Federal level. Hence, the state legislatures chose Senators. The House of Reps is supposed to represent the citizens’ interests. Hence, popular and open voting for Reps.
Then it changed. It needs to go back…this whole election fiasco doesn’t happen under the original planned operation of our government system. Why? Because those Senators, selected by their states, would never certify results from states who did not follow their own laws. Why? Because it goes against their state’s best interests.
Under the current way- it only matters who pays the Senator’s election campaign. Then those Senators vote for those donor’s interests. Bottom line.
Return our Constitution to it’s operational state.
We have a group in Nebraska that are working on censoring Sasse like they did with Liz Cheney.
Why is this bad news!!!! Sundance, you think any of those five Republicans are our allies? Are you insane? You know better.
Only now, because of this vote, you want to try to primary and defeat Murky in 2022?!? You’re not serious!
This is absolutely why the GOPe wipes the floor with so called “conservatives” like you every single time. There should already been a strong conservative candidate, funding, and organization in place to primary and defeat Murky in 2022.
The fact you, only today, because of this one vote, are now saying Murky “SHOULD” be targeted in 2022 — NOT that Murky HAS ALREADY BEEN targeted and the foundations are in place to defeat her in 2022 — tells us everything we need to know about why “conservatives” almost always lose.
Most “conservatives” are like you here, are all talk and no action, no follow through. The GOPe has money, they use their money; and while they lost spectacularly once (Jeb) – that was a special case and certainly not because of anything you did. Usually, the GOPe expects and gets results when they spend their money on political campaigns and lobbying.
You can rant all you want about the Turtle and the Chamber of Commerce playing dirty in ensuring senile Thad Cochran defeated the conservative Chris McDaniel in the 2014 Mississippi GOP Senate Runoff election; but they don’t win by being fat and lazy and waiting till its too late to get their campaign in gear.
If you haven’t learned anything by now…pfft.
Anyone here, I am not familiar with Alaska politics. Who is the candidate Patriots who support the Trump Agenda are going to rally around and support to defeat Murky in 2022? Is there anyone. Or is Sundance all BS here?
You can’t beat someone with a brain-dead shell of a person like Biden* unless you have massive voting fraud on your side. We don’t want to win that way.
So Sundance, since you have know said Murky needs to be targeted, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS!!! Don’t say “Trust the Plan.”
Murky was primaried before… ran as a write in and reclaimed seat
What are you going to do about it?
You can start your own website and “do something” about it… No one stopping you-
Bronx Native, Appears you are new to this site. That being said, please do not throw accusatory uncooked noodles at the wall. Sundance is well aware of all things decepticon and Murkowski like peeps, AND is not a “part of the plan” kinda guy. Glad your are here but delve deeper into Sundance’s work and you will then know what this site is really all about.
Two direct insults from this one so far and the second directed at our generous site host.
Just sayin.’
Every great once in a while I think we need a down vote button
“Anyone here, I am not familiar with Alaska politics.”
Democrats there are to the right of the NRA on the Second Amendment. Republicans there are to the left of FDR on government spending. Alaskans are somewhat enigmatic.
Only not familiar with Alaska politics? I beg to differ.
Dying laughing right now!
Thats my President!
I love that man!
Really surprised it wasn’t more but these were expected.
Has Ted Cruz said anything? As the Constitutional expert, why doesn’t he explain to those 5 they are participating in an unconstitutional process?
So, it takes TULSI GABBARD, a democrat, to say what I’ve never heard a member of the GOP say:
John Brennan and Adam Schiff are domestic terrorists. Yes she called them that tonight on Tucker.
She asked Biden to denounce the words and actions of Schiff and Brennan.
A democrat.
Thanks, Tulsi.
I’m not saying I agree with her on any issues, but Gabbard has integrity and she’s shown it consistently. I wish I could find more than a small handful on our side deserving of the same compliment.
And unlike McCain, Kerry, Mattis, Vinmann, Mcmaster, Joint Chiefs, etc.,she gives veterans a good name.
At times former congresswoman Gabbard sounds more conservative than most Republicans.
Which is exactly why the Democrats shut her down so quickly in the primaries…she was making way too much sense and moderates were starting to pay attention to her!
Sasse is the worst coward of them all ..even worse than well known snakes like Romney, Murkowski and Toomey…he should have quit the party and run as an independent..instead he took votes from Trump supporters, and after getting re elected thanks to Trump he then shows his fangs.
He is the worst Decepticon of the five here and will not face re election until 2026. If there are enough Nebraskans who will not put up with this treachery and open show of contempt towards them, they need to teach JackSasse a lesson.
I don’t think that Senators can be recalled but Sasse should not be let go for falesly claiming that Trump “incited” any thing.. btw did Sasse or any of these 5 traitors hold Bernie Sanders responsible for his supporter and leftwing madman Roy Hodgkinson trying to kill their colleague Steve Scalise and other Republican congressmen ? If not why not ?
Sasse has been pretending to be some above the fray conservative since the time he got elected in 2014..He is niw as badly exposed as the rest of the Decepticons.
We are pissed off!
The Democrats and Decepticons should be worried about any last minute declassifications POTUS Trump might have made before leaving office. The NSA and national cyber warfare center might have collected definitive evidence of election fraud either by foreign powers or domestic factions. The courts refused to hear the cases much less examine the evidence. The impeachment trial provides President Trump with a forum to reveal the evidence of election fraud. He will not be able to overturn the election, but he might destroy the credibility of the regime.
We talked about this on the 20th. There seems to be a consensus that whatever President Trump declassified and not already released to the public has since been reclassified by the Biden administration and is promptly being buried deep within the bureaucracy never to be seen again.
I think these are new.

Is someone watching a shiny object (impeachment is an attention grabber), like a fish being lured to a hook?
But what about the boat on the stream with the lure of fish being tempted by a shiny object,
that may be approaching some rapids, or a water fall. (some inappropriate legislation, order, or some other mis-happening that gets a pass via bait and switch, or a shell game etc..)
Avoid the wooden-nickels getting to much of your attention.
Don’t take any wooden nickels.

hold fast to that which is good.
Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, whom were in a conundrum… 5:21
Sundance wrote in an earlier post that the cover is for amnesty bill for all illegals to be passed in the middle of the night like the Obamacare bill.
Kahn quoting Melville to Kirk: From hell’s heart, I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee..
Toomey quoting a 3 year old to Trump: Neener, neener!
Murkowski quoting Toomey to Trump: Neener, neener… uh, oh, crap!
On what platform did president Trump post ?
Telegram
Perhaps they will bring in Dominion count the Senate votes and President Trump will be convicted 3,0000 to .000066.
SD mentioned Murkowski as target #1, #2 must be John Thune, PDJT’s support among the people may have intimidated him, but you know he really, really, really wants to vote against him.
Also Mitch McConnell voted to impeach.
Um….. no.
He did NOT support Rand Paul’s resolution. He said impeachment is constitutional.
I stand corrected.
I reacted without complete understanding. Checked at congress,.gov and the vote today on the resolution was on whether TO TABLE Rand Paul’s resolution, which stated impeachment was unconstitutional, NOT on whether the impeachment was unconstitutional. McConnell did vote AGAINST tabling the resolution. The other 5 republicans voted to table it, along with dems.
apologies for any confusion. I will do a better job of verifying in the future.
Here’s the roll call vote.

Thank you!
The impeachment “trial” is illegal without the CJSC presiding.
Is this in any way “normal”? Anyone know? Never heard such an opening before.
https://twitter.com/qfrogman5326q/status/1354178069435719681?s=20
OK. Guess it may have been use before. I’ve just never heard that opening, and have listened to/watched a lot of these proceedings in the past.
I see every movement from the perspective of the UniParty’s as efforts to hide how the Fake election was accomplished. Any effort on the part of the conspirators runs the risks of exposing the Fake election of Biden. So will the former Vice President, Speaker, Senate Leader, a Senator and a Representative run the risk of further exposing themselves to prevent a second run by the true president.
President Trump is not running the risk at the first post election impeachment, the coup is.
Somebody needs to ask Jill Biden if Joe has been diagnosed with cognitive decline.
She needs to answer that question.
It’s doctor Jill to you.
Sure, but that’s not a question for Jill Biden. That should be one asked of the WH Press Secretary. Perhaps the press corps could sandwich that question between a question about new curtains in the White House and whether the president sleeps in silk or cotton pajamas.
I think he has Parkinson’s. I am very surprised that the video of him standing beside a lectern waiting for the speaker to complete his introduction of him wasn’t played over and over. Biden was standing sideways, his left arm hanging down along his left leg and his left had twitched, shook for a good 30 seconds before the into was complete and he was able to stand behind the lectern where the hand wasn’t visible.
Parkinson’s involved cognitive decline and there are a couple of other equally serious conditions of those of an advanced age that mimic Parkinson’s.
He’s already had 2 aneurysms. Think what that does to your brain.
So she can lie? Don’t waste your breath.
Things I expect from the first post election impeachment, if it happens.
(1) Extreme control over what evidence can be introduced.
(2) A very public showing of the actual impeachment.
(3) Speed to conviction
So a textbook show trial, like in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and the Inquisitions of the Dark Ages.
And privacy for those who vote
Won’t be watching not giving this sham any ratings..
several thoughts.
this shampeachment is a fraud.
why? here are the list of defect, starting with the first primary fundamental reason:
a. In no manner could any reasonable person in any criminal court charge this President for inciting insurrection..Noting that the impeachment article IS a criminal offense. Was it fiery rhetoric….Yes,…did it rise to any level of actual incitment to overthrow or attempt to overthrow. No it did not. period ..end of story…If anyone has any doubts to this, watch and listen to the Presidents Recorded Speech during the rally. ALL OF IT. it was political speech, aimed to get people motivated to a cause. He made it perfectly clear that cause should be lawful and free of violence.
b. Without the Chief Justice presiding, this “trial” is inauthentic. Sen Leahy as a proxy for this constitutional structure and rule, is an attempt to create legitimacy, but is only a ruse to give it some appearance and illusion of propriety.
c. and this one is the most important: how does congress have standing? How does congress have standing for impeachment to ANYONE WHO NO LONGER HOLDS ANY OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT STATUS? See? see?
I am not even going to venture and comment about the GOP numbers required to achieve shampeachment. This impeachment is a fraud, perpetrated by vile thugs scofflaws corruptors and shit heads.
morons basically.
The President’s speech was indeed criminal.
His Crime: He Told the Truth.
mark me criminal too.
and many others
exhibit a: assange
it was not long ago that exposing the truth was celebrated, honored, respected, protected.
I guess we will all just need to run for political office before exposing truth.
right FBI?
Fred Barnes is as nutty as Biden!
These 5 “Republicans” voted for something so outlandish and absurd that it’s difficult to determine their motive other than blind hate of Trump. Except for Collins of Maine of course where she’s expected to toe the Democrat line. Doesn’t she have any limits and no shame. How far will she go to remain elected. Why not just join the Biden Democrats?
One of the most disturbing aspects about the outrageous YES votes of these Republicans are their voters back home in Nebraska and Utah for example. This does not bode well for the future of America when Sasse and Romney voters accept this nonsense without major blowback.
These 5 Senators aided the Biden campaign by turning against President Trump and now that their country is being ruled and ruined by the Democrat radicals, Nebraskans and Utahans seem to accept it as no big deal. Who cares about declining free speech, open borders etc. Impeaching private citizen Trump is what we want our elected Senators to pursue. (After all PT did for both states)
We need a less “Principled Republican” in Alaska
“So the most immediate 2022 target should be on Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.”
Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) should be consulted as to the advisability of running Sarah Palin in a primary challenge. Having Palin in the Senate would be the next best thing to having Trump in the White House but would this accord with the interests of the Alaska electorate?
Alaskans receive the largest per capita Federal outlay of any state. Frank “The Bank” Murkowski kept the gravy train running and his daughter has shown the same proclivities.
If Alaskans thought a Democrat Congress would spite them for electing Palin to the Senate, they could be reluctant to invite financial retaliation.
The Murkowskis always justified the federal largesse by saying that so much Alaskan land was under federal control, and off-limits to the development (except for times when like Trump allowed drilling) that Alaska was entitled to the money as a kind of compensation. IIRC Ted Stevens had pretty much the same attitude.
Bad news? Perhaps, but sunlight is an excellent disinfectant. Thanks Rand. Maybe use the opportunity to shine more light on the Left. I would like to think some of the Senators are thinking this too.
Now let’s assume that the coup members know that this Fake impeachment will fail. Then are the coup members deliberately trying to delay for some reason. What could that reason be?
(1) 22 months and the election ballots can be legally destroyed thereby hiding their corruption.
(2) destruction of the country and its defenders takes time.
(3) Selling the country on the legitimacy of the election by continuing to act the real winner.
Don Jr. Needs to run for President.
Watch fake Republicans heads explode.
More Good News–at least for now. Texas Judge rescinds hold on deportations
.
I am really liking this guy.
EXCELLENT! Now let’s see you stop the caravans.
Bingo.
Mexico will do this for us. Why? Because their current President, albeit a socialist, is a nationalist first. His people have reaped the benefits fo the new USMCA deal and their lives are improving.
These caravans will ruin this. Most are coming from South America. Mexico, ironically, I belive is an ally with stopping unfettered illegal immigration into our country.
So someone finally decided to follow Alinksy’s rules and make the Dems play defense in the Lawfare game. With Trump, the Dems would run to a liberal district court judge in San Francisco for a nation-wide order to stop a Trump order. The TX AG will now go to a conservative TX federal judge for nation-wide orders. The AG has said his job is, “Go to work, sue federal government, go home.”
If you read the order and see some vaguely familiar language, it appears the TX judge was applying the same reasoning that CJ Roberts did when he ruled with the majority that Trump couldn’t change Obama’s DACA order without giving a reasoned explanation of the justification for the reversal. Expect to see more when Biden tries to reverse a Trump order.
This, because the Trump boomerang is real. And, this is only possible because Trump’s people wrote these orders in a manner that took the BS lawfare approach into account.
Texas got a temporary restraining order. The judge made it nationwide since it is about deportation of people in the country illegally who already have orders for removal. Persons being held in other states could make their way into Texas if they were to be released as ordered by Biden. This is the State of Texas v elements of the US federal government. The harm claimed is to the state, not imminent deportees. Here’s the order.

I’m loving this. Thanks for the post.
So, what you are saying Sherri….Texas has standing….LOL.
Appears so, doesn’t it?
BTW, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Texas is the son of our Lt Gov. As of yesterday, the US Attorney is still in place.
I wish Trump were a little more careful with his comments. Maybe he should have said “any decent candidate, I’m endorsing” Sounds so much better, less emotional. I’m a huge Trump supporter but he could help his own cause.
I loved that part! It was more of an insult to Murkowski.
Toomey isn’t running…..but the dude who will be……far worse
