IMO the insurrectionists still in Congress should be barred from running for national office again.

We all watched live while they ran interference for Il Douche's attempted coup d'etat...we even had popcorn ready. There must be repercussions or their absolute disregard for the law will continue unabated.

Any that remain in office should be immediately expelled the moment the Democratic Party has a majority. Just my two cents.

But these GOP clowns who fought their revolution in suits in Congress, maybe 70-140 of them depending on how you measure, are going to skate. There just is no will or system for sorting them out.

was not Garland dithering, the DOJ has been proceeding with the full understanding that everything they do will end up reviewed by the courts. They are doing the right thing.

The failure continues to be the inaction on the 14th and its clear disqualification of federal officials engaging in insurrection. It is not even clear to me that the executive branch will support Colorado at SCOTUS.

Jan 21 was when the insurrection clause should have been first invoked.
