Let's see where Ben lands on conviction. I'm hoping he sides with the rule of law and democracy.
What is the future of the Republican Party?

Woah, woah, woah, woah. Hold your horses there. Sasse likes to talk about how smart and ethical he is, but voting the line is all he is good for. Speak loudly and carry a small stick or something...I don't know.

Wow......Arguing that a terrorist shouldn't be called a terrorist sure seems like a defense to me.

Sasse is right about this, but yeah, I've always had a love hate relationship with him. He says things to seem a certain way but then largely votes exactly as you would expect him to regardless of nuance or circumstance.
But, to his credit, he was at least willing to call out Trump's BS over the years. And to reiterate, he is right about this.

You make zero sense with this dribble and obviously have no idea how committee assignments are handed out. Kuddos.

Why do I imagine "rebuilding the Republican Party" to exist entirely of ferreting out the members who weren't loyal enough to Trump?
I can't think of a single policy issue where these people substantially disagree.
It's a cult of personality at this point.

The headline is not accurate.
I did not read that the author defended McVeigh. I did not read that he defended the bombing itself, nor did I read that the bombing was somehow justified ...?

Deleted. Decided probably not the best reference to make considering the end of the scene.

In Sasse's defense, he voted along party lines, not necessarily Trump's. Trump pushed through what any other GOP President would have, he just said some really obnoxious things and looked like a douche while doing it. And there really isn't anything anyone can do except call out the silly behavior, which Sasse did. I wouldn't expect GOP Reps and Senators to give up there motives just because they don't like the President.
But his vote and/or soundbites will be interesting come Senate trial time...

It certainly appears it's about falling in line or risk being eaten alive by the new Trump Party.

IMO all it's primarily doing is causing a fission among R's and submarining their chances of winning the White House in 2024.
It wasn't too long ago that Democrats were having to do some self-searching about their party (particularly after the presidential loss in 2016). What's happening inside of the Republican party right now makes that look like child's play. And nobody seems to know what the right move is. Ostracize Trump and maybe you jettison your political career into space. Align with him and you're seen as a knee-bending pleb that buys into nonsense.
I think the country and the world would be in a much better place if Elon gave Trump a first-class ticket to Mars.
