    The Democratic party voters are far far closer to western liberal values than the DNC party is, but they're locked in a deal with the devil where they feel they need money to win elections and their voters interests do not align with their donors interests.

    A proper cleanout is required of that whole corrupt system.

    Its an extremely pivotal action because any such upheaval is a roll of the dice and the dice is usually loaded towards the rich and the powerful, and even if they lose, the weak are divided

    I'm not saying there was a Hillsborough type situation going on. But there was an extremely tense one building up and rather than some sort of large "collusion" of groups, I think the forces involved just opted to defuse the situation instead of letting it get further out of control. They probably figured, correctly, that these numpties hadn't thought things through and it was a better option let them on through than have bullets flying.

    In that respect, "law and order" was better served doing that, than turning things into a massacre. As things stand, there are 5 people dead. If they had been more heavy handed, god knows what the death toll would have been and that wouldn't have looked better, I assure you.

    There's a possible selfish motive to motivate some GOPers to find their consciences, in that if convicted they could prevent him running and thus have a better shot at being candidate next time themselves. The fact there'll be no debate also means they can vote without having their faces all over it.

    This also, arguably, makes the 25th more attractive to Pence. Call for the 25th and at the last minute pardon Trump with the transferred powers, then claim it was all part of some plan they both arranged.

    They're exactly the words and why the system needs to change over there in a very real way.

    And there are no real options for them to vote for other than the not-as-conservative-as-Repulicans Democratic Party, who are more like the Republicans than their voters would like to think.

    America is a one party system, with two very slightly different flavours that play a silly game of tweedle dum/tweedle dee every 4 years.

    Donald J Trump will surely go down as the worst president in the history of the USA. His very election was the ultimate humiliation of Hillary Clinton. Indeed his inept Presidency must add salt to Hillary's wounds. The storming of the Capitol building with his tacit support will go down as the low point of his Presidency and has ruined any good he may have accomplished during four years at the White House.
    His not going to Joe Biden's inauguration is another piece of childish tantrum behaviour. He can't even be dignified in leaving office. Let's hope nobody of his ilk gets next or near being President again. He is living proof of money not equalling class.
    It is true not everybody that occupied the White House was holier than thou or white than white but at least most executed their duties with a dignity appropriate to the office. Bill Clinton is probably the only one in my lifetime who besmirched the office of Presidency outwit Trump.
    I wonder will the whole truth about Jeffrey Epstein, Trump and Bill Clinton ever come out. His death was very convenient for a lot of powerful people in the US.

    Definitely the worst in history but Trump is just a symptom of a broken America. America was screwed long before Trump came along.

    I don't have a bad word bad enough for Donald Trump.

    How is it possible to be so warped as to phone people as under siege from neo nazis planning on executing some of them to ask them to overturn an election, and not even seem to think it's weird, never mind monstrous.

    When a democracy is in fear of Insurrection/terrorists it's best to let things go quietly into the night, hope they don't come back again.

    That guy ain't going anywhere, he's said in his tweets today, he's said it on Wednesday. There is his kids to follow in his foot steps, there is others that will follow in his foot steps...

    Keep hearing this word these last few years "precident", if a precident is allowed to be set, others will follow that line.. a line needs to be drawn in the sand by both D's and R's.

    So while his mob was storming the Capitol he was still personally pressuring Senators to overturn the election. He's worse than a Mafia boss. Utterly depraved. Add this to the Articles of Impeachment.

    Depraved or dumb? I wouldn't discount the possibility that he is incapable of realising that the moment may have been unfortunate.

    'Suspended' implies temporary I thought. Permanently suspended? Are they saying he's blocked forever?
