    McConnell privately says he wants Trump gone as Republicans quietly lobby him to convict

    This really angers me. This is a miscarriage of justice. Babylon Bee if you remember, I think John posted it, had a satire about Biden's first order of business after becoming President was to impeach Trump, of course implying how do you impeach somebody that's no longer in office. But apparently they are going to try and many traitor Republicans are in on it. Of course several voted in the house to do it like Liz Cheney, and I read the Republicans that supported Trump are going to go after those that voted to impeach him in the house. Just let the guy alone. This is purely political, a hit job, and immoral due to the reasons it's being done, purely personal.
    ____________
    Washington (CNN)As the House prepares to send articles of impeachment to the Senate on Monday, CNN has learned that dozens of influential Republicans around Washington -- including former top Trump administration officials -- have been quietly lobbying GOP members of Congress to impeach and convict Donald Trump.

    The effort is not coordinated but reflects a wider battle inside the GOP between those loyal to Trump and those who want to sever ties and ensure he can never run for President again.

    The lobbying started in the House after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and in the days leading up to impeachment. But it's now more focused on Sen. Mitch McConnell, the powerful minority leader who has signaled he may support convicting Trump.

    "Mitch said to me he wants Trump gone," one Republican member of Congress told CNN. "It is in his political interest to have him gone. It is in the GOP interest to have him gone. The question is, do we get there?"

    Politics as we knew it will never be the same, I think. Rumors of a third party "Patriot's Party" have been showing up on my news feed. Few guys have sent me links on messenger. I follow Dan Bongino on U-Tube & FB, he did a segment on them rumors. That's a vote splitter, it hurt Bush Sr., during an election. I wish they would leave him alone as well. But that hate runs deep.

    None of this angers me anymore. God is exposing those men and institutions that many Christians put their trust in.

    Many thought if we just get enough Republicans in the house and senate then we can overturn the wicked agenda of the Democrats. Time and time again when we had the majority we were back stabbed. The Republicans often made a pretense of fighting for us while secretly doing what their Democrat partners wanted. It is like all of that fake wrestling we saw on TV. Publicly arguing with each other and then privately laughing at how they deceived us.

    Sadly, we probably put too much Trust in President Trump. A good man and probably the only truly honest president in decades. But we expected ONE MAN to take on a whole established criminal enterprise called the "American Political System". If he had more people that had been loyal to him he possibly may have succeeded. However, most of the established GOP was busy undermining his efforts while pretending to be on his side. We saw in the end how untrue that was. My wife, who listens to the Japanese political commentators, said that many of the Japanese literally looked at President Trump as their Savior, the man who would save them from China. They are now more devastated than most Trump supporters in the USA that he was cheated out of his win.

    Apart from President Trump, none of us would have seen how dirty both parties were. Let us pray for President Trump as he is going to suffer for his courage in taking on the political machine for a long time. I believe that God will deliver him from his enemies and reward him for his courage and selflessness as he tried to fight fro his country. But, I still remain confident in God's miraculous intervention. At this point, if God does NOT intervene this country is DEAD! But if and when He does, no one will be able to give another man credit.

    If God had cleaned up this mess while President Trump was in office, President Trump would have been worshiped as some kind of Savior. Now, if it gets cleaned up, only God will get the glory. In the meantime, people like McConnell and most GOPers, while there has always been evidence of their corruption, there should no longer be any doubt. What has been done in the dark is now brought to the light.

    McConnell is a well known RINO. He never was on board as a real Trump supporter. And now he is showing his lying evil self.

    The Republicans have every reason to want to avoid having Republican voters split between voting for a Republican candidate and the candidate for "the patriot party", alias Donald Trump, in 2024. That would mean Democrat dominance from then and on.
