The Republican Party is splitting in two. Republicans are going to find it more and more difficult to straddle the schism by keeping a foot on each side. The impeachment vote is going to force many Republicans to choose which Republican Party is most likely to survive, especially in light of the corporate financial backing that is no longer a sure thing. Republican senators who abstain the impeachment vote, who are not "present" that day, may be seen by the Tumpistas as de facto votes to convict, or perhaps they can claim to be boycotting an "unconstitutional" process and thus escape responsibility, and choosing sides, for the moment.
A lot depends on the propaganda wing of the party; Limbaugh, Hannity, et al. One would like to see a corporate sponsorship abandonement/boycott of these media fountains of dis-information similar to what has occurred in the political wing. That kind of financial strangling, along with pending libel lawsuits, could go a long way to setting the Republican Party on the track toward sanity and decency and honesty and integrity it used to have. Well, sort of.
Bumper sticker I just thought of; "Sanity not Hannity!"
The newly launched multi-billion dollar law suites against Fox must be making even Hannity chose very carefully his words. People trying to straddle the two "floating wings" of the GOP will fall down a big hole in the middle and be swept away by the current to disappear far over the horizen
I just don’t want him to “slip away” though. He and his cohorts are so guilty of spreading fallacies and untruths to the point of people either killing themselves or others. They deserve only to be behind bars.
Has anyone heard of Sleeping Giants? I heard an interview with its founder months ago. They go after irresponsible corporations as I recall. Look on Twitter to see what they are currently doing.
Absolutely! Everyone should be considering an (all-)electric car for their next passenger vehicle. Unless daily driving exceeds 220 miles or so (batteries run best for long lifetimes when operated between the 80% and 20% of full capacity—but just before leaving for a long trip, can be charged a lot higher than the 80% level. EV trucks are in sight (Ford) and there is growing competition for larger (SUV size?) passenger EVs. Check Kelly's Blue Book for its description and ratings of EVs.
While the initial cost is higher, the operating cost of an EV (not necessarily a Hybrid) is much less: my Tesla Model 3 costs about 4 cents a mile to drive, plus another cent or so for cabin heating or cooling, depending on outside temperature. And next to no maintenance: checks only every 2 or four years plus rotating the tires every 7 thousand miles. That hybrid still has all the ICE maintenance. Drove from Massachusetts to Washington, DC, with 4 stops for charging, each less than 40 minutes. Superchargers can put 300 to 400 miles per hour of energy into a battery.
There are studies out showing the overall EV ownership cost is equivalent or less than for an ICE vehicle.

I would love to see him disappear along with Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reilly.

I love it! What a great bonus for David Hogg’s pillows!
Maybe they’ll just say they’re quarantining after exposure and can’t come.
I'll take a bumper sticker with a car attached to it.
Something German, goes kinda fast?
Preferably a car w/out internal combustion. IC is a crime against humanity.
