How in the world does a narcissistic wannabe authoritarian get away with inciting his followers to attack the seat of his own government? The answer to that question is first and foremost that well over 80 percent of Republican Senators will stand behind Donald Trump no matter what. Forget about shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue. Trump wouldn’t lose Republican support in Congress if he himself blew up the nation’s capitol … while they were inside it.

3rd Update, 6:45 Pm: The focus of the impeachment trial on Wednesday is rightfully on the footage of the Capitol siege. Some of it — like the security footage of senators racing to evacuate the chamber — had not been shown publicly before. Other clips took on new meaning as impeachment managers built a timeline of Trump’s call to “fight like hell” and the subsequent insurrection at the Capitol.
But as interesting was the way that the impeachment managers focused on Mike Pence. There were multiple references and clips of rioters who could be heard chanting “hang Mike Pence.”
“Mike Pence is not a traitor to this country. He is a patriot,” said impeachment manager Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-tx). He and Pence don’t agree on much, but his point was turned on one of Trump’s biggest defenders when he wouldn’t do what the then-president wanted him to do: Overturn the election results,...

We’ve gone for just over two weeks now without hearing much of anything from Donald Trump: Banned from Twitter, absent from Fox & Friends call ins, the former president has been unusually low key at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
That will change on Tuesday, when he will once again be at the center of the media spotlight, even if he’s not a presence live and in person.
For only the fourth time in American history, the Senate will start an impeachment trial of a president — and it will be a first for a former commander in chief.
Broadcast networks are planning special reports, while cable and streaming services networks will provide complete feeds of the proceedings.
It was just over a year ago that Trump was acquitted in the Senate for his first impeachment, and there is every expectation that will be the same verdict again.

Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett says her epic eye roll during the Michael Cohen hearing was a sign of contempt for a fellow member who acted more like a WWE wrestler than a member of Congress. We got the congresswoman from the Virgin Islands as she left the hearing and railed on Congressman Jim Jordan, who went gunning for House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings. Stacey Plaskett is all of us looking at Jim Jordan, the last...

Rep. Jim Jordan (R.-Ohio) is many things: an ardent climate change denier, a fierce opponent of reproductive rights, an advocate for “traditional” marriage and a staunch defender of the President’s right to straight-up lie to the American people. He is also alleged to be something else: an ignorer of rampant campus sexual abuse, per 2018 reports that Jordan turned a blind eye to Ohio State University wrestlers’ allegations against a team doctor during his time as an assistant coach at Osu. (In 2018, Ohio State hired a law firm to...
