[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Fuck the fake

calls for unity. I point to the last 4 years as my evidence.

[Delmette2.0]

11. It's the Republicans that should be apologizing.

They need to tell the country that they were wrong for following Trump, for repeating his rhetoric.

It is not up to the offended (liberals, Democrats, progressives, black, brown) to make peace. It is up to the offenders!

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. K and R

[Delmette2.0]

33. Back at ya!

[Escurumbele]

16. what they really do not want is that when the buffoon gets impeached he is going to

tell all, and a lot of these traitors are going to be on the receiving end of those stories. They are all complicit, they are all traitors and I hope they al pay.

Cruz and Hawley must be kicked out of office, they also incited the crowds. I do think Hawley is a very dangerous guy, he is a trump on steroids.

[jaxexpat]

35. There have been many Joe McCarthyesque look-a-likes since Nixon.

Newt Gingrich, John Bolton, Ted Cruz for instance.
Funny how they're always Republicans.

Remember the scene in the movie "HUD" when they dozed a trench in the dirt and herded the cattle into it so they could shoot them all because they were afraid they would spread hoof & mouth disease?

[BComplex]

36. Trump on steroids, and WITH an education.

No good sense, no morals, but a good education.

[BigOleDummy]

17. You could

Actually point to the last 12 years. How much "unity" was afforded President Obama?

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. Yes, I was being very much too generous.

They haven't cooperated since the 2000 election, at the least.

[doc03]

2. I agree with much of what she says but I agree 100% on this nt

[Biophilic]

3. She's right on.

Without accountability there is no healing. Without accountability it will happen again. No accountability, no trust.

[Aussie105]

24. Accountability. Redressing the imbalance.

It's needed.

The wounds need cleaning before they can heal.

Of course, Repuglicans will call it 'revenge'.

[hlthe2b]

4. That is a precise and concise summary of exactly WHY we must act.

Those two lines are the response we should all have at the ready.

[FM123]

5. Exactly. Without accountability it will happen again.

[flibbitygiblets]

7. Spot on. And he can never hold office again

This is their chance to stop the madness

[triron]

9. Where are all the others who should be saying this?

[JoeOtterbein]

6. Always loud and clear without...

...hesitation!

[bobhuntsman]

8. NO. "UNITY". WITH. TERRORISTS!!!

[Gore1FL]

10. Healing is great. Sometimes that requires surgery to remove the problem, first.

We need a fascistectomy.

[yaesu]

12. One could say it was an act by a foreign country as tRump & the repukes are working for Putin. nt

[Grokenstein]

13. Personal rule: Regardless of affiliation

anyone calling "bygones" is either an active member of Trump's terrorist plot or too stupid to hold office.

[JDC]

14. Whenever the GOP Fs up or whenever they are losing power they play this broken record

But when they have the chance, they grind every Democrat they can under their heel. Publicly and politically.

No more "unity" until they can show that they can act responsibly. No more rhetoric.

[BigOleDummy]

18. Indeed

And well said

[cab67]

15. Unity?

There's unity?

[Jon King]

19. Bloomberg story says aides say it will make Trump a martyr...

They are saying it will make Trump a martyr to his base. Ha, seriously. Thats the reason some are saying not to do it. But thats the opposite of proper reasoning.

The reason it should be done, along with destroying him financially and criminally, is that he is already their god. He needs to be humiliated and weakened over and over again. We tried placating his base and look what happened. Screw his base, anyone left supporting him is not coming back to the real world anyway.

[Joelteply]

26. They're already calling him a cuck

This is not a group that’s well known for allegiance

[marble falls]

20. I am never in union with facists. I am antifa to the bone, you know: an American.

[BlueIdaho]

21. AOC nails it - before we discuss unity

A whole bunch of right wingers need to practice repentance.

[Dukkha]

25. Step ONE towards "Unity":

Every elected Republican needs to state very clearly in no uncertain terms that Joe Biden won a free and fair election. There was no widespread fraud. Period. The burden is entirely on THEM for unity. Not those already living in the sane normal Universe.

[DinahMoeHum]

27. No "Unity" Without Accountability.

n/t

[gab13by13]

28. He was never going to run again,

he was going to use the threat of running to raise money. Just like Republicans use abortion to get elected. How long has it been since they controlled the SC, what are they waiting for? They aren't about to overturn Roe v Wade and lose their cash cow and talking point.

They have no agenda other that abortion and cutting rich people's taxes.

[mysteryowl]

29. I am convinced the GOP has a panel of psychologists that come up with their rhetoric.

They quickly have messaging they all use and it sounds semi plausible, unless you know you better.
GOP: "time to heal", "Time for unity" "An impeachment will further separate us". Are you kidding me!?

Never have they cared about any of these things. It is pulled out now as a weapon.

Their party is at risk of falling apart and this impeachment and trial might just do that.
That is what they are fighting against and it is wrapped in poisonous flowers.

[UCmeNdc]

30. 100% correct

[bringthePaine]

31. the RefuKKKchicken "party" must be demolished before any "rebuilding" can proceed, period.

[cp]

32. Accountability first

Below her segment, there's a very good commentary by Arnold Schwartzenegger (I know! I'm as surprised as you are) about Kristallnacht and the after-effects of Nazism on men he knew, including his father. He makes clear we require accountability or it will happen again.

[keithsw]

34. I love her

She's brash, sassy and smart as a whip. And way more often than not, she's right

[Blue Owl]

37. K&R

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

38. Where the Hell were the RW calls for "unity" during the past 4 years?

Damn it, they do this every time & the media enables them! No unity with fascists!

[UCmeNdc]

39. K&R
