I was watching this video, of Eugene Goodman, the Capitol policeman, and
what struck me is all those traitors chanting USA, USA.

BTW, when I heard that Goodman hit one of them to make him follow him, I
thought he pushed them in the direction he wanted them to go and I
wondered why that would work. But no, he hit the guy in front, two
different times, aggressively but not hard enough to start a fight right
then and there, and then the guy he hit followed him as if he was going
to run him down and get even then. Goodman knew just how to handle it.

It's also interesting that for a while Goodman is climbing the steps and
facing upstairs and they're following, and at a landing he stops and
faces them, and you see the guy in front back up. Even with a mob
behind him, he was afraid of Goodman.


another video that includes this scene, but I found too depressing to
watch more than a little bit.

The impeachment vote has been held and 7 of the 50 senators voted to
convict. The other 43 were accessories after the fact to treason.

None of them will ever be elected president, that's for sure, not Hawley
nor Cruz nor Rubio. Is there any other Rep. senator who had dreams of
being president? It will be interesting to follow the careers of the
others, and the Rep. representatives who voted against the impeachment,
all but 10 of 200 and something.


If the vote was secret ballot I have to think he may have been
convicted. The 43 don't have the balls to say what they really think
and just go with the Trump line out of fear. Shame on them.

You got that right.
