It's just yelling down a tree stump until it hits the house floor. Stop calling and start ACTING.
Otherwise, STFU with your pearl clutching theater. We're not buying it anymore.

Articles of impeachment are slated for Monday, I hear.
Here's about the best breakdown about the coup attempt that I've read.

Some among America's military allies believe Trump deliberately attempted a coup and may have had help from federal law-enforcement officials
The big unanswered question: Why were so few law-enforcement agents at the Capitol when demonstrations like that are usually heavily policed?

Everything I’ve heard is it’s pretty much set in stone. Actual vote will hopefully be by Wednesday.
Honestly, if they don’t get it done, the Democrats will probably lose a very large chunk of their voters. I know it won’t make it to the senate, but something needs to happen.
And fuck all the Republicans saying we now need to come together and heal, and this will even make it worse.
From what I understand, they simply want them submitted right now because they don't go away once he leaves office. The goal is to have the next senate run the trial and then, once convicted, it would ban him from ever holding public office again, preventing a run in 2024 and weakening some of his hold on the GOP.
Even if he is convicted for crimes in the next year there is nothing in the constitution saying a criminal can't run or win office from prison, impeachment (or a conviction of literal sedition) is the only way to prevent the next four years being filled with more Trump rallies.
Our daughter ran in the room to inform us that Trump had been banned from...Grindr.
She meant Twitter, but omg did we laugh!

Actually do we know he's not banned from Grindr? Has anyone checked?
We were too busy dying laughing. She was so earnest reporting to us. It was priceless!
Big deal. So was like 90% of your content.

Here's an excellent way to put it:
The riot happened because the senate acquitted Trump.
Hold them accountable.

Seen on Reddit: The republicans who are saying there's not enough time in 10 days to impeach Trump are the same ones who had no problem confirming a supreme court justice in 8 days before an election.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that PINTEREST, of all platforms, was one of the first to ban him. I don't have a Pinterest account, but apparently they started back in November when they banned "Stop the Steal" and similar Trump-related tags.
Good point. Olive Garden might be a little to refined for his palate.
Well, how is he supposed to feed the College Football National Champion team now?
And it begins. Again.

I've got 3 possibilities up front:
1. A State Sept employee is messing around in a production environment because nobody in the executive branch cares about anything anymore. I'd go 75% that it's this.
2. State Dept website is still hacked and people are messing with it. 20% possibility
3. This is legit, somehow, either through the 25th or a resignation. 5% possibility

Odd, that is 7 hours from now.
The timestamp is UTC.
If he's stepping down or Pence is invoking the 25th, I hope to God he's not pardoned. Even though I'm sure he will be.
