https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/08/politics/capitol-hill-republicans-impeachment-removal-trump/index.html

 

"A growing number of Republicans want President Donald Trump to leave office before January 20, with some top lawmakers telling CNN they are considering supporting his impeachment.

 

 

Two Republican members of Congress who are former Trump allies told CNN they would support impeachment against the President over his role in Wednesday's deadly attack on the US Capitol if the articles are reasonable. One member said, "I think you will have GOP members vote for impeachment."

 

While the window is narrowing for an impeachment vote and trial before Trump's term ends, one of the GOP lawmakers said the proceedings could be done quickly.

 

"We experienced the attack," the member said. "We don't need long hearings on what happened."

 

 

 

Probably still a long shot (GOP support that removes him) but on day one there was the odd GOP that opposed Trump. Obviously many more now coming out of the woodwork. I suggest there are many more than would vote him out but are tactfully silent. The kicker is that if they did vote him out, he isn't there/won't be there to give them a term of attacks, and that being part of the vote him out group places them (selfishly) on the right side of the pot post Trump. The Hawleys and Cruz's will be left stranded, so who knows, it could happen. Ducks are lining up.

 

 

 

Gives the GOP a clean start Jan 21

If Apple remove Parler from App store, does that auto delete all current users or does it simply restrict new downloads?

No-one knows yet - but Apple would likely remove the App from Iphones "under their control" from what I have heard so far.

Unsurprisingly, Trump's namesake son is comparing his Dad's banning from Twitter to...George Orwell's 1984.

Rudy Giuliani at the rally before the march to the Capitol building calling for "trial by combat" and saying "it's about these monuments and what they stand for" and "fight to the very end"

 

 

Gosh, how could those heinous extremists yelling support in the front rows have taken this so out of context?

It’s interesting to see Facebook/Twitter/Apple finally do something about the hate merchants on their platforms.
I suspect it is so they won’t be the last one standing when everyone asks why didn’t you do something?

Thoughts and prayers for them all.

(Trump joined Parler this morning)

 

Google has now given Parler an ultimatum to moderate or it will remove it too! (From the Play Store)

FBI distributing many many photos and videos taken in the riot. Over 17000 tips received so far. One guy detailed what he did, so cheers for the evidence! Another wore his employers ID tag lol. Fools following the fools.
