We have to hold those people accountable for their criminal actions because if we fail
to do so the future of our nation is at risk. 2/3s of the congressional republicans voted
to overturn the legitimate results of our Presidential election and more than that voted
not to hold Donald Trump responsible for his attempted coup and the crimes surrounding
that coup.



Hugh Scott of PA, Barry Goldwater of AZ, and John Rhodes of AZ all went and told Nixon he had broken the law and had to leave where are those Republicans now?

upon the Republican party and its leadership in that its being used to reveal those that will not go along with what happened on January the 6th and they are being expunged from the Republican party and or removed from positions of power.
In other words the Republican party is now completely the Republican Nazi Party.

were caught on tape in June of 2016 laughing about Russia helping out Trump. But did we hear about
that in 2016? Not really but plenty of totally made up bullshit about Hillary and her emails.

So now faced with Trump caught red handed trying to overthrow our Constitutionally protected process
of our elections what are we gonna do about it?
