President Trump is now former President Trump. With Joe Biden now President Biden, Democrats control the White House, the House and the Senate. An ambitious agenda lies ahead for the new Democratic administration. And yet there are signs some Democrats’ obsession with Donald Trump — the condition known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS — will remain as strong, or perhaps become stronger, now that Trump has left the White House.
Exhibit A is the fact Democrats plan to hold an impeachment trial for the president after he has left office. They plan to use the Constitution’s method for removing a president when the president is already gone.

Democrats with the exception of Tulssie Gabbert ( sp) are a bunch of sickos. More later.
How can you investigate the insurrection and not investigate the man who called his “Patriots” to action? Perhaps some self-reflection on who is actually deranged for trump is in order here, Byron.
Like BLM?
“Any Republican now promoting rejection of an election or calling not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position, or be accepted into ‘polite’ society. We have a list.” — Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post
Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted tweets, writings, photos …” — Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, U.S. Congress
“Yes, we are … Every Administration staffer, campaign staffer, bundler, lawyer, who represented them — everyone.” — Michael Simon, The Trump Accountability Project
“When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would … name every official, politician, executive and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.” — Robert Reich, former Labor Department Secretary to President Clinton and adviser to President Obama
“The most humane and reasonable way to deal with all these people, if we survive this, is some kind of truth and reconciliation commission.” — Chris Hayes, MSNBC host
“So, let us brace ourselves … the terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must be devoured … and then he, and his enablers, and his supporters, and his collaborators … must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society … [T]he fight is not just to win an election, but to win it by enough to chase — at least for a moment — Trump and the maggots off the stage and then try to clean up what they left, Remember… the fight does not end November 3, but in many ways, will only begin that day.” — Keith Olbermann, former ESPN and MSNBC commentator
“We should keep and publish a list of everyone who assists Trump’s frivolous and dangerous attacks on the election. Name and shame forever.” — Evan McMullin, former CIA operative and 2016 independent candidate for the presidency of the United States
“Me-first capitalists … are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution. I’ll happily provide video commentary.” — Richard Costolo, former CEO of Twitter
“I think killing the little Romanov children was justified [for the sake of the revolution].” — Bhaskar Sunkara, founder of Jacobin magazine, the top publication among democratic socialists
I had to change a name to Richard because the facts said his name was profanity. I think his name fits him very well
I see the facts has fell in line and is now censoring comments
Just woke up from a censor-free sleep Bulldog. We didn't remove any comments.

You removed mine.
