Is this serious?
It’s an official statement by Twitter.
“Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.”
See, people are willing to put the massive mistakes of past leaders aside once a few years have past. And the time line for the rehabilitation will be waaaay shorter for Trump, for a lot of voters, because we have media outlets like Fox and OAN ready to to start praising the man. Jesus, several main stream news outlets are already praising his "new tone" just 24 hours after he told a bunch of treasonous revolutionaries that he loved them and that he sympathized with their feelings.

There is no reason not impeach him and there is every reason to do it. There cannot be zero consequences for a president that incites a riot to try and stop the electoral college vote certification against him.
LOL. Democrats can sign petitions too.
It’s not underestimating Trump. It’s overestimating Republicans.
In this case the difference is irrelevant. This is about the influence and power that Trump wields over the Republican Party and whether they will nominate and elect him again. Whether I underestimate Trump’s power or over estimate Republican integrity the outcome is still the same. The man needs to be neutralized. We have no mechanism to neutralize the entire GOP just some of the most obvious and extreme individuals.
Question: If he can't run for office, does that dry up his possible campaign donations? As long as he can run, he can grift and hold weekly rallies for 4 years. What about if he can't run?
Republicans or former Republicans really shouldn't lecture the ruling party on what to do with Trump
Oh, that's rich. The "ruling party"? Right.
What a schmuck.
(Followed by another schmuck.)
Your post is obfuscating the upshot. McConnell is using Senate rules to prevent impeachment, again protecting Trump.
