Trump supporters hear loud noise in the back, get spooked, call for civil war. For the record, calling for civil war is like the definition of treason soooo www.reddit.com/r/politic…

Personally, I think it would be OK for her to bake in the oven another decade, but she’s one of the few politicians I can take seriously at this point so why not? www.reddit.com/r/politic…

The party of small government wants to tell you who you can sleep next to at night and under what conditions you can leave a marriage. Insanity, these people must be stopped. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

Two other branches of government exist to provide a check and balance to the courts. Democrats run both those branches of government. I wonder if there are any constitutional remedies to this current situation? Maybe someone should kill the filibuster and unpack the courts? Just a suggestion… www.reddit.com/r/politic…

If a group of SUPREME COURT JUSTICES can’t sort themselves out then it says all you need to hear about their wisdom and professionalism. So surprise! culture war justices shoved down our throats are incompetent radicals who can’t maintain their own institutions. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

The only real story here is that Trump supporters are so neutered and locked in their own mental prisons they can’t just say what they feel when given the planned opportunity. Something tells me if Trump hung with any of these people, he’d immediately tell them all to grow a pair. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

In fairness to The republicans, I don’t need a commission to tell me what I already know: Some republicans are willing to stage a revolt, try to mame other Republicans in their way, and then all pretend it never happened out of loyalty to the party. It’s hard to even process how dangerous this is. Had this insanity succeeded, Republicans would clearly have supported it. With this, they make clear that the Republic is one flash mob away from getting overthrown, and in some circumstances they support it.

I don’t understand, if it was premeditated days beforehand, and they all met at a Trump rally, where he directed them to execute their plan, how is that not incitement? The premeditation hurts his case, especially if it can be proved that he knew about the plan beforehand - which clearly he did, telling them to march down. Would be a big coincidence if he decided independently to do it too

What doesn’t bend, breaks. What would fill my heart with joy, is that instead of saber-rattling, if he were to acknowledge this horrible cycle and try to do something positive about it. Republicans like Mitch McConnell actually working towards bi-partisanship would not only be a sight to see but might actually heal some wounds. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

If he turns on Trump before he concedes/inauguration then people won’t donate to the defense fund. Once they have squeezed Trump dry their tune will change. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

The ratings argument is nonsense, this isn’t a rally. More people will tune in to the crazy one. I for one am voting for Biden but am more interested in finally seeing Trump pretend to be President for an hour. If he just acts normal for one hour he could really complicate things for Biden. I’m interested to see just how he’ll make it weird and awful. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

I’ll tell you this much, this has certainly shifted my position of The Republicans as untrustworthy liars. I guess that opinion has been forming for a while, but it’s cemented now. You can’t reason with liars, you can’t trust liars, all you can do is defeat them and get them off the field. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

Mueller reminds us all that he investigated, and wrote down his findings in a report. Really didn’t say very much more than that. www.reddit.com/r/politic…

Ironically, testifying probably will help Trump unless he has some bombshell we haven’t heard. The strategy of acting like it’ll be damaging helps Trump set the long-term expectation that there’s nothing to all of this. Trump’s theatrics help him. www.reddit.com/r/politic…
