More than 200 house members voted no to even discussing impeachment articles. But they were outnumbered and the discussion has started.
Somebody said something on the morning coverage that I agree with. The vote won't be close. It will either be 5 Republicans... or 25. It won't be 15.
There is a landslide of muddy cowards who are flop sweating through this desperate to keep their heads down and try to save their careers. Last night the play seemed to be to vote a mealy-mouthed no and pray it all gets forgotten. Today it is looking more and more like the play is shifting to join a bipartisan impeachment of Dump to save the Republican party's face.
They are deeply, deeply cynical -- it's just a matter of which cynical choice they make to protect their own wrinkled ashes.

With the info that is around (apparently), the number of House members involved sounds to be many- and given the evidence, the chance of them being expelled seem pretty good. If the FBI can connect them directly with illegal acts, then the recent press conferences suggest they will be prosecuted, too.

The number is going to be closer to 5. Reports are there are more that want to vote to impeach, but don't want to put themselves or their families in danger from the Trump cult.
I used to believe that it was that they were just cynical and that when the real 5h!t hit the fan, like an insurrection incited by the president and planned by members of the congress, they would be able to find a way to come around. But most of the 140 who voted against accepting electoral results are the real deal. They are true believers in that we need a strongman like trump to make it safe for the white women-folk our there. This country is broken and it sends broken people to congress. The choice they will make reflects that.
25 House republicans is still what, 11 or 12% of their caucus? That means almost 90% of it hates our government and tacitly OK'd a coup. If every member of the republican caucus who did NOT vote to overturn the election, something like 70 members, votes to impeach, that might be a start.
We have no way of knowing. Let it play out.
I was listening to “Gaslit Nation” Jan 5 episode and it’s chilling. She said, there’s going to be some kind of dramatic violence in the next 48 hours, possibly involving Proud Boys, and Trump will blame Antifa. After that, watch out. We are experiencing a coup attempt.
Journalists were more prepared than the National Guard.
I’m so disappointed in counterterrorism agencies.
I know it was intentional. That’s what disappoints me.National Guard Was Called Up
It isnt the Guard that deserves your disappointment, it is the Pentagon who held them back. I wonder why they did that...
(I really hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist)
If Gym Jordan died right now I would celebrate. Where's a nice heart attack or brain aneurysm when you need one.
He’s been the best of the lot on the right by some distance, which is pretty scary.
Hey Debbie, shame your POS is trying to do a coup with just seven days left
