Really freedom and independence oriented there, aren't they? Paraphrasing: We voted to censure him because he didn't do what everyone else was doing. Burr's quote from the article:
He said it, not me...I mean, I also said it, but you get my point. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I mean, polls have indicated that slightly over 50% of Americans wanted Trump to be immediately removed from office this time around. I didn't try that hard, but I couldn't find any polls for Pennsylvania, specifically, in about five minutes of attempting to do so. Given that Pennsylvania is (overall) fairly moderate and went for Biden this time around (narrowly) I imagine it's something close to the national numbers. As a Senator, Pat Toomey represents the entire State of Pennsylvania, not just Pennsylvania Republicans. If we assume that the percentage of people who wanted Trump impeached is even close to the national numbers (which it probably was), then you can argue that Toomey was representing Pennsylvanians regardless of how he decided to vote.

History repeating itself The cult of personality Its shocking China went through this Mao is perfect. You are loyal to Mao or you are the enemy of the people. Cultural revolution shook the country to its core We are seeing the cult of personality again in my lifetime These Trumpers think Trump is perfect Look at posters here like Flea, EB, AZ ect They think Trump is perfect There is not a single thing they can criticize him on Scary The cult of personality almost destroyed our country on Jan 6. Almost as destructive as the cultural revolution China experienced due to the cult of personality Policies no longer govern the republican party. Loyalty to Trump is now the republican test, not issues. Talk about a party going all in on the cult of personality Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Of course! It snowed nearly a foot last night. Regardless of who is President, I needed to shovel a path for my small dog to go out and pee/poop. I have a massage scheduled at 11. Doesn’t matter if the Senate is 50-50 or 51-49. I get my next shot Feb 25. Started by Trump. Finished by Biden. Had Trump won, would have been finished by Trump. My wife is smoking hot no matter how many Republicans are in Congress. My guess is no matter what happens in politics I’ll be golfing in Florida in the winters, golfing in Buffalo in the summers, How about this.... unless you are amongst the many newly unemployed because of the pipeline thing, it will take a while for ‘politics’ to affect you. I guess unless you are among the 1.4 million jobs to be lost if the $15 MW passes...(CBO). Etc... |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4176 | Not unexpected by me. Trump will destroy the Republican party’s chances to win in 2022. As far as McConnell goes, he has been a strong and effective advocate for most Republican/Conservative policies. Unfortunately, or fortunately if you don’t like him, he will be remembered most for the hypocrisy of Garland/Coney-Barrett, and the hypocrisy of acquitting Trump because he was an ex President.... when HE didn’t accept the impeachment article when Trump was president. McConnell will be 84 next election for him. I hope he is smart enough to not run again. Do you really want to be a Senator from 84-90?? |

I love how Trump is bragging about his numbers while saying the election was fraudulent...... I guess his vote are 100% certain and everything else is questionable? Also, who brags about 2nd place? The last Mayoral election last fall where I live, the sitting Mayor got more votes than any sitting Mayor (it went to a runoff) and still lost. It would be laughable if he went around nonstop saying "I got more votes than any sitting mayor in City history") as if that were some achievement, but he is also too busy running legitimate businesses to care.... I can't believe so many people here still defend Trump's behavior as normal.... |
