Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[Sassy Colombian]

Mitch looks after Mitch so there has to be a reason he's doing this.

Something to do with money me thinks

Maybe the calls for coming together arnt working so they know the only way to start off well with Biden admin is to impeach trump. He needs to boot Cruz and Hawley too.

Once Trump is out, I hope he absolutely destroys the GOP and reveals all their dirty sectets

I totally agree, Mitch is an opportunistic and he is doing all this so he doesn't get dropped from his polical donors.

Hawley and Cruz no only need to be removed from Congress but they should be disbar.

The Republican party as it is can't continue without serious repercussions to our democracy.

Good for you Liz, v significant given her leadership position

 

[dublinbluenose]

Thats quite a big deal

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Come on GOP stand up for you nation. Let's get this impeachment process going.

 

[RAFUH]

This is pretty big.

Indeed it is. Combine this with the statement by the Joint Chiefs and the dwindling financial support from Big Business it has to be seen as an opening for GOP members to vote their conscience rather than be party robots.

if he wanted to destroy GOP the best way the orange mutant would do it is to set up another political party and split the republican vote.

The MAGA party of something stupid like that would lock both parties out of power leaving the Democrats a clear path

Unfortunately I believe many still have genuine fears over their families safety if they do. Mad to even type that sentence about the US.

I'm still skeptical about their conscience, I said they are once again voting their pockets

Cannot give in to the terrorists, foreign or domestic.

This makes me confident that they will get a conviction on the impeachment.

The fact that the Joint Chiefs have formally labelled it as Sedition and Insurrection is massive too as GOP and their supporters were trying to push the protest narrative. I think this may enable Cruz and Hawley (plus a few lesser known nuts to be binned).

A complete purge is needed from GOP if they want to distance themselves from Trump

The Guard is different from the Reserve in that their chain of command is through the State governor. They can be federalized, but they are the only "troops" that a governor can control. Frequently see them used during natural disasters. Reserves can't do that.

May seem subtle, but an important point for DOD to keep federal forces from being active on US soil. Any deployment in the US will be a Guard unit.

This was part of the issue for DOD brass in calling up the DC Guard to go to the Capitol. They are the only Guard under direct control of POTUS (because DC is not a state, they do not have a governor) so always federal. That would have been federal troops vs US citizens in a political fight.
(yes there was probably more going on - but that was part of it)

My local Guard unit are actually helping out in my health department right now with COVID vaccines. They are handling the "processing and paperwork" so all nurses are freed up to give the vaccine. Local additional man err human power is a big part of the job.

I think my biggest concern/question was are they well trained in combat??

Because, again, the dudes coming to protest look well trained.
