Sen. Sherrod Brown calls for Cruz & Hawley to resign or be expelled

Both @HawleyMO and @SenTedCruz have betrayed their oaths of office and abetted a violent insurrection on our democracy.

I am calling for their immediate resignations.

If they do not resign, the Senate must expel them.

An overwhelming 71% of Americans say they don't trust Sen. Ted Cruz to defend democracy, according to new @ABC News/Ipsos poll, including 47% who don't trust him at all. https://t.co/XkpzZQxciu

Midas Touch obviously jumping on these new anti-Cruz stats by trying to promote use of #TedCoup hashtag and a well-done ad for a mass audience illustrating all of those words with disputed meanings with different Trump jerks, they each get one of the words :

One Trump supporter's explanation of why he went into the Capitol on Wednesday:

He says he felt God’s hand on his back, pushing him forward.

“I checked with the Lord,” he says. “I checked with Him three times. I never heard a ‘No.’”https://t.co/ZHZhhrh8uM

But son, did the Good Lord actually say, "Yes?"

Truly, this just gets sadder and sadder.

oops, CVille you commenting on that makes me realize that my previous paste had not cleared and I duplicated it (which is fine, cause it tempted you to comment ) BUT here is what I meant to put in that place:

Not meaning to brag but I have truly walked a godly path, much like Jesus. Not once has god found it necessary to correct my behavior or to tell me no, don't do this or that. All my choices must have met with his approval for he never made the slightest attempt to dissuade me.

by ocean-kat on Sun, 01/10/2021 - 8:02pm

He's been bitching to me that you don't listen to a damn thing he says. Asked if I might smack some sense into you, but I 1) noted hard to do remotely, and 2) did some head/skull density calcs & figured required too much energy.

So you do you. God knows you ain't the only one.

by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 01/10/2021 - 8:10pm

"a damn thing he says"

If it was god it would have been a blessed thing he said. So who exactly are you talking to? Could it be....Satan

by ocean-kat on Sun, 01/10/2021 - 8:23pm

See, you always spin the argument. God's pretty good with the damnation and hellfire and brimstone thing. Plagues and pestilence too. Yet you always treat it as if it were meant for someone else. Nothing personal, but it's personal - you ain't no Job. I mean, what you waiting for - rickets?

by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 01/10/2021 - 8:27pm

I am not impressed, easy to do spending years in a ghost town.

Ghosts are pretty demanding. Especially Spanish ones.

by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 01/10/2021 - 8:23pm

still probably not as demanding as Latinx ones will be.

by artappraiser on Sun, 01/10/2021 - 8:29pm

Obviously. But not a lot of them yet - mostly Millennials & younger still kicking around.

Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO
