Behind a paywall....

I didn't get a paywall

[dannybolt]

No paywall for me either, but you should be able to open it in incognito and read it.

NYT is a $1.00 per week. WP is $29 per year through Amazon. Cheaper than I pay for TBT digital.

Dems in the House officially start impeachment proceedings against Trump for urging insurrection and FBI releases a memo that Trump supporters are planning an armed uprising in DC should Trump be removed via the 25th.

If Trump is removed via the 25th, Pence will not only have the National Guard, but will be able to scramble air support instead of just Capitol Police and a National Guard presence that comes long after the damage is done for security. Something tells me these dirt eaters aren't going to have air cover to cover Apaches.

I don't think calling in an air-strike will be necessary

Hopefully not, but don't discount any possibility when dealing with these seditionists.

[jdhebner]

Still waiting on an FBI, DOJ etc. out-brief on what the hell happened.

I don't either, but these ignoramuses think they are going to be able to overrun the National Guard again, or if they have some He-Man fantasy that their AR-15s are going to let them act like Ruby Ridge or that Clive Bundy jackass. If they show up as a militia, you bet your ass they will be "well regulated".

I really don't think the Feds will act with the same level of restraint as they did on the 6th if those reprobates come back for another round en masse.

Hearing reports that McConnell wants Trumps impeached as well

Hearing reports that McConnell wants Trumps impeached as well

That will be delightfully entertaining to see how this works out...He said he favors impeachment likely to try and freeze Trump out from any attempts to run again. Question is, would he actually, personally, VOTE to convict? Or just hope others do the “dirty work”? BTW, Liz Cheney says she’ll vote to impeach, along with another rep from NY. Kinzinger I’m sure isn’t far behind.

So, how many Reps do Dems get?? And are there 17 senators that would do the right thing, now that Moscow Mitch has given them a little cover?

Sounds like self inflicted damage if he supports impeachment only to vote no

Sheldon Adelson has left the building. Good riddance.
