Toomey is trying to show Republicans how they can have it both ways?

Out of one side of his mouth, he says Trump committed "impeachable offenses". But, out of the other side of his mouth, he doesn't know if there is time for a trial or how divisive it might be?

So, they don't want a trial but they want to go on record as being against what Trump did? That sort of covers all their bases.

That's what really worries them. There is no political upside no matter what they do. Fucked is what they are.

ok, yes, t-rump did incite and that is a impeachable offense but . . …

he only has so many amount in days in office, and an impeachment would just inflame their cult, and we as a nation need to get pass this - kumbaya, we need to unite crapola.

Secondly, a president with a "D" by his or her name would have been gone by now pursuant to the almighty God fearing Christian republicans.

in Georgia.

There will not be 100’s of pages of documents to go through, and with 24 hours after the it is finalized, the House can vote on it, and send it immediately on to the Senate

Regardless what members of Congress say, we will see very soon what they do

Representative Nancy Mace from SC is getting death threats because she voted against the objections to certifying the election.

In an interview on CNN she is against impeachment because she said it will add fuel to the fire, but from watching that interview I don’t believe that is the reason, she is scared of harm coming to her family is the reason

It must have the support of the people behind it.

Otherwise, it will collapse.
