I'll say this. That shit was real and brought many of those folks down to reality from the high horse they've been riding on. Who in a million years thought that such an institution would have been overran like that?
You see scenes like that in the movies and you call bs but who would have thought an armed and unauthorized person could have made it onto an elevator with the president (some Jack Ruby shit)? Security is lacking in DC and it's telling people around the world that even at the highest levels we are vulnerable.
They knew they could be touched because of the Senator who got shot at that softball game a couple of years back.

Gabby Gifford, Ronald Reagan, JFK, etc...all got touched to but all were touched outside of what is supposed to be a very secure government building.

It's like anonymously talking shit on the internet from your home and being confronted by the person or persons you were talking shit to.

What made Mitch turn against Trump?

Besides the Capitol fiasco, just my two cents to the conversation — but this is what did it:
Sheldon Adelson, Republican kingmaker and casino magnate, has died at 87

And this:
Trump owes Deutsche Bank $340 million as company cuts ties with president

And this:
Corporate America halts donations to Republicans who voted to overturn the election

All in one day, and there is MORE. The Republicans are now…bankrupt. And it’s all Trump’s fault. McConnell knows how to fund raise for his Party but that is all now shot to Hell because of Trump. Trump and his family. Ole Mitch is PISSED!!!! And so are the tops of the Republican Party right now. This is really bad.

And…Mitch knows Trump is running off with what is left with THEIR Party money too if he doesn’t try to stop him. Right now the Party looks like this for their 2022 and 2024 hopes:

I’d be ticked off too if I was Mitch.

What lawmakers said

The House reconvened on Wednesday afternoon for an hourslong round of speeches from lawmakers. Here’s how some argued for or against impeachment.

“Donald Trump is a living, breathing impeachable offense.” — Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York.

“I will not use process as an excuse. There is no excuse for President Trump’s actions.” — Representative Dan Newhouse, Republican of Washington and one of the 10 in his party who voted to impeach Mr. Trump.

“They may have been hunting for Pence and Pelosi to stage their coup, but every one of us in this room right now could have died.” — Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland.

“Some say the riots were caused by Antifa. There is absolutely no evidence of that. And conservatives should be the first to say so.” — Representative Kevin McCarthy, Republican of California and House minority leader.

“He is capable of starting a civil war.” — Representative Maxine Waters, Democrat of California.

“If we impeached every politician who gave a fiery speech to a group of partisans, this Capitol would be empty.” — Representative Tom McClintock, Republican of California.

“Today we begin the long road to restoration. America has been through a civil war, world wars, a Great Depression, pandemics, McCarthyism, and now a Trumpist, white nationalist insurrection. And yet our democracy endures.” — Representative Adam Schiff, Democrat of California.

“Nearly half the country supports our current president. This takes their voice away.” — Representative Jeff Van Drew, Republican of New Jersey.

“Democrats can say, ‘You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets,’ while there is unrest in the streets. But they’re going to impeach the president for saying peacefully and patriotically, ‘Make your voices heard.’” — Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio.

“We said if we didn’t remove him, he would do it again. Simply put, we told you so. Richmond out.” — Representative Cedric Richmond, Democrat of Louisiana.
