“Yes, of course he should. But i want to say that i have seen/heard many say one crisis at a time, then deal with the next. First, i want to say that America is capable (previously our government was, also) of doing more than one thing at a time; even more than one BIG thing at a time. This is an att…”

“@Sandra asked why the Hell we don't have a domestic terrorist law. I would very much like to speak to that. We have plenty of laws that cover acts of domestic terrorism; conspiracy laws are frequently used. Felony murder is also useful. With the idiot Congress we have we could easily end up losing m…”

“i actually oppose this because i feel that this economy crippling debt needs to be forgiven, or at least largely forgiven. But, most important for this and other measures that will be necessary for our economic, health, and social recovery Democrats need to brave the outrageous slings and arrows fro…”

“I posted once about the danger of military oversight of the military. Then @Joan referred to him as avoiding the trappings of the military complex (i think). Actually, General Austin has two years out of the military, and he's been working for Raytheon, a huge defense contractor. Not only is he seet…”

“This one, i am not really for. Our government was designed to have the military overseen by civilians, and it's sound reasoning even without the belief that a civilian is less likely to let the military take over the government. This policy is why we don't have rogue soldiers, squads, troops, etc. m…”

“i contend that D.J. Trump had earned a second impeachment before he incited insurrection and violence against the legislative branch. He has now, most certainly earned not only a second impeachment, but the first Senate conviction. His craven determination that his continuing to hold office far acce…”

“The main benefits of impeaching now, would be a) if the Senate returns and convicts he no longer has the bully pulpit to incite these acts of sedition, & b) he would (upon conviction) be denied presidential retirement benefits as well as the completely deserved (earned, even) ignominy of being the o…”

“These miscreants that chose to believe in an alternate reality, allowed the child-in-chief to stir them into violently storming the capital, not more than a couple of blocks from where peaceful demonstrators against police brutality, especially with respect to Black people, were gassed, clubbed, & s…”

“There is sufficient time to at least try. Then too congress, along with the Biden administration need to have the FCC revoke the license of FOX news & OANN as there still is a little bit of enforcement power when networks lie blatantly enough. They also need to bring back the "fairness doctrine," ki…”

“There needs to be massive costs to inciting insurrection resulting in murder. Yes, in most jurisdictions (pretty sure federal) if anyone dies during the commission of a felony it is a murder charge for all involved.
If Impeachment proceedings have begun, and he pardons himself there may be an argume…”

“Of course they should certify it; this is a proforma procedural practice. Further, Congress is just slightly less culpable in this fiasco than Donald Trump. Both Republicans and Democrats (despite their rhetoric) have all used this bloviated attention-lacking man-child to achieve political goals.

“i have very constricted optimism about the 2021 Congress. Democrats will again squander a super majority by again trying to bring in Republicans instead of using their leverage (it worked so well for Obama). This should be the opportunity to enact a lot of working class relief. The reason is that th…”
