So here's the question: If Donald Trump shoots Lindsey Graham for abandoning him, since Trump is leaving anyway, can't we just let it go?

Trump incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol. Five people are dead; millions shaken. @HaleyLive is right. It cannot be ignored.

Trump did enough before last week's act of domestic terrorism to be impeached. By calling to arms the thugs he told last fall to #StandBackandStandBy, he committed treason against our nation. He told them to be ready; then he called them to the Capitol. What's the debate?

And yes, I said thugs. Look at the footage. Read the coverage. Remember where you were watching last week, something we usually see in other countries and shake our heads.

I'm shaking my head.

How has Trump not been escorted out of the White House and sent packing to N.Y.?

And to Melania Trump, whose situation I can't imagine, do you have any idea how it sounds for you to decry bullying & violence while standing next to a man who incited a riot at our seat of government, disrupting an important session and sending members of Congress running?

So our path, as American citizens is clear: We must be united in removing not just representatives of hate in our own leges & congressional delegations, but state & federal reps from any state. If they don't like America, they can find another country. They can't have ours.

Oh, and while we were watching Trump's Army break the law, 4,000 people died of #COVID19.

Trump's mishandling of the pandemic was an impeachable offense before he called out his army in an attempt to start a Second Civil War.

And a note to all colleagues in my former profession, the courageous reporters and editors working in a moral and emotionally turbulent hurricane. STOP INTERVIEWING DONALD TRUMP JR. about his daddy. Please. If you need canned quotes about the president, we can send some.

Finally, we know it's hard to keep up with all of Trump's high crimes & misdemeanors, but don't forget the children languishing in detention centers or this: At least one laptop was stolen during the riot last week, just after our government was hacked. Wonder where it is now?
