If President Trump was such an existential threat, why did Speaker Pelosi rush the impeachment only to wait twelve days to send the article to the Senate? (2/5)

If the purpose of this trial is to remove a president, that was already done on January 20th when President Trump left the White House. (3/5)

We need to get back to the people’s work. We need to get vaccines distributed, save small businesses, safely re-open schools, and get our economy back on track—I’m here to do that. Anything other than that is simply a distraction. (5/5)

The former President incited an insurrection to overthrow democracy there must be consequences for his actions. To simply say it is a distraction is total nonsense and cowardly.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
Fuck this garbage. You haven’t done people’s work for 4 years. You denied there was a pandemic for months. As your constituent, I demand you convict.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
Someone brought up a good point. If there is no point in holding an ex president accountable after they've left office, what's to stop them from just going hog wild breaking the law for 2 months before their term is up? Go ahead, hitch your wagon to Trump, see where that goes.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
Accountability matters and Trump should NEVER be allowed to hold public office again. Do your job Senator. Incoting an insurrection is not okay and a dangerous precedent if you don’t take action.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
What have you been waiting for? "get back to the people's work" is a fucking JOKE. You've done NOTHING for the people. If you had balls of courage, we could have impeached him again while he was still POTUS but YOU WERE SCARED OF HIM. How pathetic!
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
You have done NOTHING the entire time you have been in office.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
Maybe you should give Mitch Mcconnell a buzz for answers to your questions, and stop gaslighting yourself and your followers. PS, God it's sad to see you cowtow to trump.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
law and order is a 'distraction'? How much corruption are you willing to tolerate? what a joke the GOP is, you are NOT living up to your oath to keep America safe, accountability or the next GOP president will freely break his oath, too, because clearly, there are NO consequences

Who runs your Twitter. And are they conveying they you get killed on Twitter every time you post something. Tone deaf?

When did you forget how to walk and chew gum at the same time? Can you talk while you tie your shoes? Do you need your mommy to brush your teeth because you're focused on standing on your tippy-toes?
