IMPEACH TRUMP IMMEDIATELY AND DARE SENATE REPUBLICANS TO ACQUIT HIM

It should happen because there needs to be some national acknowledgment of Trump's invitation to lawlessness -- and because Republicans should be put in the position of voting yes or no on his fitness to hold office, now and in the fu...

... we're seeing the truth of the old Biblical adage: "Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind." If I were in D.C. today, I'd be in the Capitol along with the protesters. *This is what happens when the Left thinks it can get away with murder, and acts accordingly - only to be brought up short by the righteous anger of those they've wronged and ignored.* So, now . . . let the cards fall where they may. As Julius Caesar said, *"Alea iacta est"*. The die is cast. Nobody knows what the future holds - but it will definitely not be "politics as usual" any more. Peter
