How can Articles of Impeachment not be the direct answer?

Article 1 - I'm talking to you Congressional RepubliCONS.

TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN AMERICA HAD INDOOR PLUMBING, Alex Jones would have told everyone to go buy another gun, and then called for their hanging from the Capitol Rotunda.
I don't know how, but the Republicans who enabled this shit need to be held to a reckoning.
Again, I've no idea how, but if we don't find a way to actually punish them for it this time, they will be back and next time IT WILL BE WORSE.

And one of them shot up a pizza place because of rumors. I'm not certain they'd stop at merely calling for hangings.

Jeffries - hopefully. Occasionally he surprises me.

There are voices that are singing the right tune, loud and clear. They include (but aren't limited to) Chris Murphy, Chris van Hollen, Maxwell Frost. Not a surprise that they were at the rally in D.C. last night, along with Alex Padilla.

I am glad to see Congress critters in front a federal building drawing attention to the Authoritarian take over of our Democracy.

My problem is the lack of communication — if ever the nation needed vocal leadership, it is now.

Trump has been on the TV, cable, Hate Radio, etc. 24/7 for over a decade now.

The Democratic leadership should demand EQUAL TIME on any and every outlet TO MAKE A CASE. At least hire Gavin Newsom’s Twitter team.

We Democrats can and do have the best ideas in the universe, and it doesn’t matter if no one knows.

If the protestors were bothering the ICE agents, they should have called the real cops

They do as they please without repercussions by DHS and this admin. They shot a woman in the head and will never be held responsible because she was just a "Fucking Bitch".

The Rogue Congress needs to issue Impeachment against the Rogue Supreme Court for abdicating their Authority to the Rogue Administration.
I don’t think this Trifecta was achieved lawfully and in accordance with the Constitution.
Once the Russians take over there will NEVER be Investigations of this Travesty. The only consolation is they’ll ALL fly out windows sooner or later.
