Would any of those in Congress who voted against impeachment proceedings like to reconsider?

Not really. Acreage doesn’t vote, people do.

I’ll take things that never happened for $200, Alex
Someone just posted this. The voting location was a church and this was in rural Idaho. Not sure anyone is ready for what’s to come. Republicans are dealing with a violent, mentally ill enemy in the democrats and we aren’t acting accordingly as a nation.

Can’t you just move to somewhere you’re relevant? Oh … sorry that’s really hard to find on a map … any map.
Wow. The country has voted to become socialist/communist. Can't you all just move to N. Korea where your utopian world is already set in place?

I would expect more of you Mr. Cleese!
Do not read this if you passionately believe in the case for reparations

Really … this is your hill? You’re an idiot.

Not a communist and yet I still will call you an (willfully) ignorant criminal seditionist. Which is the proper term, rather than treason or traitor.
I am a J6er. I realize Communists think I'm a traitor If you threaten me you will be suspenemded. God Bless the J6ers.

So where’d these people get all this ‘shitty tactic’ experience then?
I don't think you lefties understand- Us normies are not playing nice anymore. Every shitty tactic you used in past elections is now being used against you. By people way more experienced at all this than you. With much better survival skills and emotional regulation. Enjoy! 😘

Ah fuck off seditionist
Four Corrupt Democrat cops walked into a bar. The bartender said, “We don’t serve your kind here.” They laughed, flashed their badges, and replied, “That’s fine. We’ll stay, write the report how we want, beat you, lie under oath, and have the media and our Democrat colleagues cover for us. Then Call it a mostly peaceful interaction. Your insurance covers the rest, right?” God Bless the J6ers.

You understand you’re a crazy person right. I mean some small part of you recognizes that this is all madness, no? Tell me again why this leftist horde violently takes to the streets AFTER democrats WIN the midterms?
There is a literal coup against President Trump being plotted as we speak. 1,600+ former USAID employees, military, state dept diplomats, & foreign policy officials are planning violence for after the midterms. If Democrats win the House & Senate, the plot will be activated. DSA “foot soldiers” will take to the streets, instigating violence clashes with Trump law enforcement agents. They intend their violence to provoke Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. If Trump invokes that law, the thugs plan to seize power from the federal govt in a “doomsday scenario” deletimizing the federal govt and giving power to Democrat governors in blue states. Then they plan to impose their “structural reforms” on the country. A “refounding” they call it. They mean impose communism on you. They also plan for a “breakthrough” to happen to take Trump out between now and Jan 3. This plot appears to be the brainchild of color revolution experts like Erica Chenoweth, and others who worked at USAID. Honestly it BLOWS MY MIND that some people are gonna sit out the midterms. Not vote. Are you crazy? Literal communists who hate you and want to kill you are plotting to overthrow our govt, steal your vote and topple the president you elected. Who, by the way, is THE ONLY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY who has successfully obliterated USAID, the institution that produces these color revolutions aimed at YOU. I get it, gas prices are too high. For sure. But are you out of your mind to throw away your midterm vote when the choice is between USAID thugs who are trying to stage a violent coup and topple our country and President Trump who DOGE’d USAID and cut off the funding that went from USAID to the NGOs that pay for the left wing color revolutions aimed at you??? I truly don’t get how anyone could skip voting in the midterms. I’d crawl over broken glass to give Trump’s agenda to dismantle the deep state two more years. And, you know, save our country and civilization from the violent death of communism. Just think, you wouldn’t even know about this coup plot if not for @DataRepublican. You might have skipped your vote, handed Congress to the Democrats and suddenly faced… revolutionary communist violence.

Sounds like socialism to me.
Kansas farmers, do not abandon the GOP, to embrace socialism. Help is on the way! President Trump said at the rally in Kansas Monday night that the government would give $8 billion in economic assistance to farmers hurt by high diesel prices.

You want serious and accountable and you voted for a pen thief?! Make it make sense
I’m a lifelong Democrat (gay) of queer BIPOC color and today I made the toughest decision of my life: I voted for Ken Paxton. We need serious and accountable leadership in Texas and Talarico does not have what it takes. Thank you and God Bless America.

And …
People mock him, humiliate him, criticize him, and question his every move. Sometimes I wonder if anyone remembers that behind the title of President Donald Trump is a human being, too.

#TedNugent brings in the youth vote …? Are you crazy or dumb?
America’s first Christian rock star Ted Nugent brings the house down, as this all but secures the youth vote in Kansas.

Trump disclosed ‘earning’ some $2B in 2025 much of it from crypto ventures he started while in office. Are you insane or an idiot?
The idea that Trump has “enriched himself” is laughable. Couple of points on that actually: ✅ Already billionaire BEFORE he ran ✅ NO financial need to run ✅ They went after his fam & tried to jail him for life ✅ DONATED HIS ENTIRE SALARY AS PRESIDENT

No it wasn't
America’s founders did not build a secular state that happened to tolerate Christians. They built a nation whose laws and liberties rested on the biblical view of man. Fifty-six signers of the Declaration. Zero Muslims. The vast majority were Christians who believed rights are endowed by the Creator. That conviction shaped the abolition of slavery, the defense of the family, and the claim that no government is above the moral law. It still matters. The same God who ordered the founding still calls His people to be salt and light. Silence is not neutrality. It is surrender of the ground our predecessors held. From the Mayflower Compact to the Declaration of Independence, Christian conviction was the soil in which American liberty grew.

You are an idiot.
I’m an antivaxxer. 
I oppose ALL vaccines. 
For 5 primary reasons: 1. The germ “theory” is unproven & has actually been disproven many times. 2. The ingredients in vaccines are toxic and aren’t meant for injection. 3. They offer zero benefit, only risk. 4. Unvaccinated people are generally healthier. 5. The vaccine industry is not liable for death & injury.
 You? 🤷🏽‍♂️
