JUST IN: 4-page draft article of impeachment against President Trump that Reps. Raskin, Lieu, Cicilline are planning to introduce Monday: "Incitement of insurrection" pic.twitter.com/KdQrzQy6pf
— NBC News (@NBCNews) January 8, 2021
On Monday, we should expect to see articles of impeachment filed, as reported, on one issue: Insurrection. Which these members saw and witnessed with their own eyes, and whom all were put in harms way as a result of. If they can't vote for that, they should resign.

This is why we donât have to pretend to believe Republicans when they pretend to oppose impeachment on âdivisivenessâ grounds. They fluffed Trump for 4 years! They did this! They donât care about divisiveness. Yet Iâve heard many journalists assert that McCarthy âbelievesâ this. https://t.co/dSmw6KGH0u

They show pictures of the guy in the stupid hat and furry suit so you don't look at the ones of the guys in masks, tactical gear, and with law enforcement type zip ties who operated in a professional manner.

The feds needed to conserve ammo and tear gas. A lot was used up this summer clearing peaceful protestors and priests from outside St. John's Church so @realDonaldTrump could have that photo op.
