Statement that reads in part, President Trumps popularity has never been stronger than it is today and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time. Three weeks and a day. Thats how little time it took for the party to rush back into the arms of the man who egged on the violent mob that descended on the capitol, smashed windows, beat Police Officers, bludgeoned one to death, while looking for lawmakers to capture or kill including the former Vice President. Five people died in the attack. At least two Police Officers have since died by suicide. Two weeks and a day, the house voted to impeach the expresident a second time.

Good evening. If you were wondering how long a disgraced expresident has to wait to be forgiven these days after inciting a deadly insurrection against the seat of democracy in hopes of overturning the election he lost, the answer is three weeks and a day. Thats how long it took House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy to make the pilgrimage to maralago and pay his respects to the former president.

The expresident s Political Action committee put out a statement that reads in part, President Trumps popularity has never been stronger than it is today and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time. Three weeks and a day. Thats how little time it took for the party to rush back into the arms of the man who egged on the violent mob that descended on the capitol, smashed windows, beat Police Officers

The resolution is adopted. I was allowed to believe things that werent true and i would ask questions about them and that is absolutely what i regret. What she said was before she was a member of congress. Its unprecedented what the democrats have done here. There should be a very, very high bar from removing somebody from committee, but this was not a hard call. Weve requested the president s testimony. Apparently he is refusing. They should issue a subpoena for the president. Hell go to court. Hell tie that up in knots. In his four years in office, donald trump never once testified under oath.
