    Panicked Republicans now want to blame impeachment for bungling the coronavirus response: report

    Congress was slow to understand the threat from coronavirus, and now Republicans want to blame impeachment.
    Back in January, as Democrats presented their evidence in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, only a few lawmakers from both parties were urging action against the highly contagious virus that had shut down parts of China and recently arrived in the United States, reported Politico.

    Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) became alarmed over Martin Luther King Day weekend reading reports about the coronavirus in China, which he noticed a disconnect between China’s rosy statements about the outbreak and the drastic steps it was taking to contain it.

    The Arkansas Republican started pressing the White House to ban travel from China, and he called Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner and privately warned them about the coronavirus, and he also urged action from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and other top officials...

    I hope Republicans are not claiming they are unable to deal with more than one issue at a time...

    What are they suggesting?

    That the impeachment should never have been brought?

    There was overwhelming valid evidence.

    The American people wanted the impeachment.

    Republicans mocked that it was delayed. They wanted it to be brought faster.

    Dems talked a lot of shit like "bribery and extortion" -but they did NOT impeach on that.
    It's was partisan crap -a sop to the AOC branch of the Dems

    The American people wanted the impeachment.
    DEMS wanted Impeachment - Trump approvals went up because of it -it was not "wanted " by the people

    There was overwhelming evidence. It was the duty of the House to bring that impeachment. They owed it to the American People to protect the Constitution. They all swore to bear allegiance to the Constitution, NOT the president. Democrats did exactly that, but 99% of Republicans bore allegiance to the president over the Constitution. They flew their president flag over their American flag. That's not a co-equal branch of government. That violates the Constitution.

    That's the Republican story. It's needed to justify that view. It is also not exactly accurate. It's purposely bent to support that narrative. Sure, the most extreme House members wanted impeachment from the start. Their point was it should have been on emoluments, and various reasons depending who whom. Maybe they had some valid reasons, maybe not. The point being, that was a handful of people. The Republican narrative extrapolates that handful into becoming the entire Democratic party. And that's just not the case. The majority of the Dem Party was against impeachment until the whistleblower story came out.

    That's not correct. A majority of Americans wanted the impeachment. Democrats wanted it for the chance to remove the president and Republicans wanted it because they felt it would only boost the approval polling (the same polling they said was not to be believed.) And everybody knows the approval polling is embarrassingly low, unable to even ever get half the nation to approve of him.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.
