Sen. Mitch McConnell is such a political genius that he's been formally censured by the Nelson County GOP in his home state of Kentucky after McConnell attacked President Trump in a floor speech in the Senate.

Based on Biden’s popular vote count, plus the tone of the news coverage, wouldn’t you expect his initial job approval number to be in the 60% range or higher? If not, I have questions.
The latest Biden figures reflect his favorability: 57 percent have a favorable opinion of him in the new poll, while 39 percent view him unfavorably. Asked about how he's handling the presidential transition, voters give Biden even higher marks: 63 percent approve, while only 26 percent disapprove.

Biden Forgets to Salute the Marines During Inauguration – Looks Lost – Kamala Harris Waves at Him Trying to Bring Him Back
After slowly walking up the church steps, Biden looked lost. He looked around at the top of the stairs as if wondering where he was at. Kamala Harris waved at him as if to say, ‘Joe we are here’. Next he turned for pictures to a non-existent crowd. Only a few politicians were present along with media and some marines. Next Biden turned and walked into the church holding his wife’s arm showing his need to have her lead him around. When he entered the church he forgot to (or intentionally didn’t) salute the Marines
Before entering the church some believe he said to himself, “Salute the Marines”. This was as if he was hearing someone speak to him through an earpiece. He may have also said “Good Looking Marines”. Either way he didn’t salute the marines:
amuse @amuse
Sources have revealed that Biden wears an earpiece to get prompts from staff, but I’ve always been skeptical. But here we see Biden getting an instruction over his earpiece and instead of following them he repeats them. “Salute Marines.”
While Joe Biden and Democrat politicians slept in their million dollar mansions on their expensive mattresses and 4000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets - they forced out National Guard troops to sleep on a cold, hard concrete floor in a parking garage.

I think the Left is about to learn a hard lesson - that #FakePresident Biden isn't on "their" side.
That he's on China's side - and China's explicit goal is to weaken America from the inside-out, at all levels.
So gas has gone up 40 cents within the first two days of the Biden presidency, he's gearing up to invade Syria, and now your kid with diabetes can't afford to live any more. In two days.
Congrats, Lefties. Really well done. You got the man who said mean words out, and now you can't afford generics which should be 50 cents a pop any more.
THIS IS FROM CNN McConnell privately says he wants Trump gone as Republicans quietly lobby him to convict By Michael Warren and Jamie Gangel, CNN
Updated 1:51 PM ET Former top administration officials lobby to convict Trump
Washington (CNN)As the House prepares to send articles of impeachment to the Senate on Monday, CNN has learned that dozens of influential Republicans around Washington -- including former top Trump administration officials -- have been quietly lobbying GOP members of Congress to impeach and convict Donald Trump. The effort is not coordinated but reflects a wider battle inside the GOP between those loyal to Trump and those who want to sever ties and ensure he can never run for President again.
The lobbying started in the House after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and in the days leading up to impeachment. But it's now more focused on Sen. Mitch McConnell, the powerful minority leader who has signaled he may support convicting Trump.
"Mitch said to me he wants Trump gone," one Republican member of Congress told CNN. "It is in his political interest to have him gone. It is in the GOP interest to have him gone. The question is, do we get there?"
McConnell had proposed delaying the trial until February, but with the articles coming to the Senate on Monday, the process will likely be set in motion sooner. It would take 17 Republicans to join all 50 Democrats in order to convict. While the bar is high, some GOP sources think there is more of an appetite to punish the former President than is publicly apparent.
"There were 10 House Republicans who voted for impeachment. There were probably over 150 who supported it," said Charlie Dent, a former Republican congressman and CNN contributor. The ongoing Republican whisper campaign, according to more than a dozen sources who spoke to CNN, is based on a shared belief that a successful conviction is critical for the future of the Republican party. Multiple sources describe this moment as a reckoning for the party. DAMN RIGHT!
"Trump created a cult of personality that is hard to dismantle," said a former senior Republican official. "Conviction could do that."
The lobbying effort has included behind-the-scenes pressure by Republican donors, calls from former top Trump White House officials, and a set of talking points circulating among Republicans arguing for Trump's impeachment.
The 9-point memo charges that "it is difficult to find a more anti-conservative outburst by a U.S. president than Donald Trump the last two months."
Other points include that Trump "urged supporters from across the nation to come to Washington, DC, to disrupt" Congress on January 6 and egged on the crowd, which was "widely understood to include people who were planning to fight physically, and who were prepared to die in response to his false claims of a 'stolen election.''
The memo goes on to point out Trump "tweeted and made other statements against the Vice President as the Secret Service was being forced to rush Mike Pence out of the Senate chamber and into a protective bunker." It's unclear how widely disseminated the memo is among Republicans in Washington.
'A fight for the party' McConnell is also facing pressure from a faction of Senate Republicans to stick with Trump, with some telling CNN that support for conviction could threaten McConnell's leadership.
"No, no, no," Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican and Trump ally, told CNN when asked if he could support McConnell if he voted to convict Trump, calling such a vote a "dangerous precedent" and adding: "I don't even think we should be having a trial."
"If you're wanting to erase Donald Trump from the party, you're going to get erased," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said on Fox News Wednesday. "This idea of moving forward without Donald Trump in the Republican Party is a disaster for the Republican Party."
THE REAL DISASTER WOULD BE TO TRY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HIM.
There have also been public appeals for Republican lawmakers to take action against Trump. Former White House chief of staff John Kelly told CNN if it was up to him, he would vote to remove Trump.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr accused the President of "orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress" and went on to call his conduct a "betrayal of his office."
Among some former Trump administration officials, the President's actions around the January 6 riot aroused feelings of disgust.
"I almost threw up when I saw the President tweeting against Mike Pence," said one former senior Trump official.
In addition, more than 30 former Republican members of Congress signed a letter urging House members to vote to impeach. At the same time, current and former Senate aides are encouraging their bosses to seriously consider voting to convict.
And in the days after January 6, a handful of House staffers whose bosses supported Trump resigned, including a senior GOP staffer on the House Armed Services Committee and aides to Reps. Lauren Boebert and Jim Jordan.
"A lot of people view this as a fight for the party," said one former Republican Hill aide. Others are hoping more Senate Republicans will step up.
"In the Senate, there is more institutional respect and understanding of the long-term consequences," said former Trump administration appointee Gabriel Noronha. "There is also real resentment of Trump and the damage he has done, and awareness of what this means in the next four to eight years."
Noronha recently made news when he was fired by the White House for a tweet condemning Trump's actions on January 6.
Signals from McConnell The consensus among the Republicans who spoke to CNN is that McConnell's decision on conviction will sway others. On Tuesday, in his most forceful comments yet, McConnell tied Trump's actions to the attack itself during a speech on the Senate floor.
"The mob was fed lies," McConnell said. "They were provoked by the President and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like. But we pressed on."
Since he is known as restrained and deliberate, McConnell's words gave hope to Republicans who would like the party to split from Trump.
"I hope Mitch's institutional reverence for the Senate will overcome his natural political caution and will lead him to the conclusion that Trump is in the way of the party's future," said the former senior GOP official. AND HOW!
The legal arguments Other Republican senators who have said they will vote to acquit cite a Jan. 12 op-ed in The Washington Post by former federal judge and conservative legal luminary J. Michael Luttig. Luttig writes an impeachment trial after Trump left office would be unconstitutional.
"I think a lot of people would like a reason not to convict," said a former Republican Senate staffer.
But other Republican legal experts are pushing back with GOP senators.
"It feels like the weight of the energy in Washington with legal conservatives is pretty strongly in favor of impeachment," said Gregg Nunziata, a former counsel to the Senate Republican conference who has reached out to senators himself.
However the fear of reprisal from Trump's allies in the media -- Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham have already criticized McConnell's condemnation of Trump -- and Trump's base may prevail.
The former senior Republican official who would like to see Trump convicted characterized it as an internal war within the party and expressed pessimism that enough senators would rise to the occasion.
"I have learned through sad experience that no one has lost money betting on the seemingly bottomless capacity of congressional R's for self-abasement and cowardice," said the former official.
BE MY GUEST! GO AHEAD AND FAIL TO CONVICT AND GO DOWN IN FLAMES, GOP! MITCH KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN!
I see the lying POS "pastor" still has his head stuck up Goddard's butt
I guess if Goddard is wrong about Republicans convicting the former President for inciting an insurrection... then I guess I will have no choice but to ban any and all references, links, quotes, or any mention of Goddard under the pretense of fact checking and removing him for being fake news.
What would he Reverend do if we had to censor Goddard?
Up to 100 sites run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency could begin offering coronavirus vaccine within the next month, part of a strategy that would dramatically expand the federal government’s role in the effort to corral the pandemic.
The plan, which was announced by President Biden on his first day in office, is already taking shape in the form of a draft “Concept of Operations,” which was obtained by The Washington Post. The document envisions FEMA, which previously had more of a piecemeal role in pandemic response, fully unleashed.
at would he Reverend do if we had to censor Goddard?
BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Unlike trump....Goddard does not incite his base to arm themselves and defend their country before it is too late......Trump was not censored....he was banned from platforms because he broke the rules.....He can still say anything he wants and will get unencumbered coverage4 from Fox....Gab.....Newsmax and the MSM!!!!!!!!!!
he was banned from platforms because he broke the rules...
Roger always argues that these platforms can do whatever they want. I guess that holds true from my standpoint. Excessive Cutting and pasting is a violation of the comment etiquette laid out in open print.
and since we all know that you don't have to be "fair" or "even handed" - then I am free to do what I want, huh?
That you can walk and breath at the same time!!!!!!
Legal Insurrection about as amusing as the Babylon bee!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!!! I also recall trump's miracle that the trump flu would just disappear.....400k dead later, the US is learning more and more about the flu and if enough get vaccinated a sense of normalcy may return at the end of the summer....But with dumb fucks like you fighting tooth and nail with the science, don't hold much optimism yet!!!!!! Sorry sport, you need to stop drinking!!!!!
he was banned from platforms because he broke the rules...
Roger always argues that these platforms can do whatever they want.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Lil Schitty can't follow his own thread!!!!!!!! Sad that roger is correct and Lil Schitty thinks free speech means inciting riots and lying whenever you want is fine !!!!!!!.....god you are a sorry fuck, Lil Shcitty!!!!!!
What would he Reverend do if we had to censor Goddard? _____________
I would continue depending on the sources Goddard gets information from -- NYT, WaPo, CNN, Politico, RCP, and many local papers (exemplum gratia, Boston Globe, recently) etc., etc. _________
By the way, someone should clue in Scott that Goddard is not saying Trump will or should be impeached: He's saying that there are significant Republicans who are saying that, and others who are opposed.
McConnell apparently wants it to happen, because as despicable and unprincipled a cheater as he is, he at least has some political sense, and knows that much more of self-centered Donald will drag the GOP into further disasters.

Former top administration officials lobby to convict Trump
Washington (CNN)As the House prepares to send articles of impeachment to the Senate on Monday, CNN has learned that dozens of influential Republicans around Washington -- including former top Trump administration officials -- have been quietly lobbying GOP members of Congress to impeach and convict Donald Trump. The effort is not coordinated but reflects a wider battle inside the GOP between those loyal to Trump and those who want to sever ties and ensure he can never run for President again.
The lobbying started in the House after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and in the days leading up to impeachment. But it's now more focused on Sen. Mitch McConnell, the powerful minority leader who has signaled he may support convicting Trump.

What would he Reverend do if we had to censor Goddard?
