As we?ve written before, Mr. Trump?s behaviorwas inexcusable and will mar his legacy for all time.That wasthe essence of Sen. Mitch McConnell?s post-trial remarks. TheGOP leader voted against conviction but explicitly because he said theConstitution reserves the impeachment power only for Presidents whilein office. Scholars disagree on this point, and there are goodarguments on both sides. Mr. McConnell leaned on the writing ofthe19th-century Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story. But he also notedthat impeaching a private citizen had no ?limitingprinciple,? andcould set a dangerous precedent....Mr. McConnell was lacerating in his criticism of Mr. Trump?s words andactions, which he blamed for deceiving and motivating supporters whohad assembled on Jan. 6at thePresident?s urging and became a mob.?Former President Trump?s actions that preceded the riot were adisgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty,? Mr. McConnell said.?There?s no question?none?that President Trump is practically andmorally responsible for provoking the events of the day.?He added that the rioters had been ?fed wildfalsehoods by the mostpowerful man on Earth?because he was angry he?d lost an election.?All of this was compounded by Mr. Trump?s failure to act with dispatchto call off the rioters once he heard what was happening. Wayne Wayne Wayne...Trump had no control over the many factions which comprised that sea of souls at the Capital. I'll be in neighborhood soon but I'm not sure I could have a civil conversation with you while youareunder this spell.===We'd no doubt have to agree not to talk politics. :-)I'm capable if you are. Weather here is near perfect right now, andwe could probably round up Greg for a beer or lunch with a littleadvance notice.Sure I would like to get out of the house or you folks could meet uphere, sort of neutral ground, since I am a Loonytarian who didn't votefor either of them.i sent you our itinerary. I am not sure where that is. Just a little ways from you. Aparently you got my note. I like to keep Fat Harry and any other spooky individuals in the dark. You never know whos lurking on the internets. -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- https://piaohong.s3-us-west-2.amazon...net/index.html Maybe Greg can take a photo and post on this group. Neither he nor Wayne have anything to hide. How about you? How about you? https://funkyimg.com/i/3aSnG.jpg I'm thinking you better stay away from motorcycles! -- Freedom Isn't Free! Who is that supposed to be, JohnnyMop? If it's supposed to be me, y'all better find a new investigator. You're the one posted it, not me! -- Freedom Isn't Free! When or where did I post that photo, JohnnyMop? Maybe you'd like to take me up on the same bet I offered Ditzy Dan Kruger. And yes, I would trust your good friend Tim. I'm a good judge of character and know he'll give it an honest assessment. Maybe it up $200 Canadian against the $100 US. Since the looney is worth alot less, and you declare you did not post that picture. Seems as ifremember you posting that link years ago. I don't know if that's him. The face is dumb looking enough and the legs are stubby enough, but they don't appear to be bowed out to the extreme like in the other genuine picture of him standing in front of his little sandpiper sailboat. -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- https://piaohong.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usenet/index.htmlDon't discourage Ditzy Dan or The John. They are so sure it's me.Would you really deny me the great pleasure of spending their money and rubbing it in their noses?


YES
