Let Freedom Ring Already! I am going to dress up in red, white and blue and sing patriotic songs! I can't wait. I miss all that. All the good stuff about America. The freedom to do what you want. I miss when America was somewhat functional. When it wasn't attacking itself. When it was correcting the wrongs and was progressing onward and forward. We had big plans for the environment, transportation, infrastructure, employment, healthcare and the criminal justice system and I think we can get back to that path. But for now, I am looking forward to a bit of patriotic celebration, even if it is in quarantine.
Besides, I think we will all feel a bit of relief when they snatch that "football" back from the insurgent in chief's hand.

It's time we bring back authentic patriotism and celebrate our constitution and values.

I feel nothing will happen, that Trump is President in name only.
After the Monday night briefing to Congressional leaders about the sedition, Mitch leaked that he would impeach Trump. The latter, in turn, issued a 15 minute video stressing that he was not calling for violence and that any violence would be prosecuted. McConnell walked back his threat.
Hope I'm right.

It's too late for that. One half of the nation hates the other half.

We need to unite as a country after Wednesday against our common enemy, which is the rampant propaganda and intentional division of American families and traditional allies.

R5: Yes. the timing is suspect. I believe there is a correlation also.

I think Mitch is keeping him in check. Letting him know that he will strip the disgraced, soon-to-be-ex president of his pension and future security detail.

Yeah, but it didn't include a commitment to calling the Senate back into session to do it expeditiously.

First, you mean to convict him. He doesn’t get a vote on whether to impeach him. That’s been done.
Secondly, his “leak” is no better than Giuliani’s hair dye leaking since he hasn’t backed this up with action.

Anybody who thinks Mitch McConnell is going to buck the Republican Party and vote to convict Trump is seriously delusional.
Mitch McConnell didn't get to where he is today by doing stupid shit or acting a fool. He's the consummate political animal with supernatural survival instincts. He's no rebel.

OP I am a naturalized citizen and cannot wait. I will probably cry like a baby to be honest but please drop 'freedom'. That word has done so much damage because it is hijacked by the worst amongst us. FREEDOM - to carry assault weapons into a children's play, to fire employees at whim, to pay little to no tax on huge salaries, to preach the worst religious bigotry, to destroy the environment..... It's one of those words like 'patriot' and 'Christian' that give me the heebie jeebies because it's never used by a decent person to refer to anything decent.

r18, I think the point is to take that back from the terrorists. A lot of American used to feel lucky to be born in America. There is a specialness to this country, or there was anyway. It would be nice to feel that feeling again.

Personally I think those days are over for awhile r20. There is a terrible radicalized rot in this country that has no cure.

Our problems will be FAR from over, but it’s just going to feel like such a RELIEF to not have Trump as president. I think a couple months of normalcy will kind of cause the fever to break a little too. It will be nice having an actual functioning government and not agencies stacked with sychophants who protect Russia and white supremacist groups.

It's also happening in many European countries where Marjorie Green types make up 10-20% of the government. White supremacists have infiltrated the German police. Q Anon/Far Right conspiracies had people burning down 5G receptors in Ireland. I think it may be less 'America is number 1 and so special' and more we are standing with all Democratic countries to defeat those who are trying to destroy our way of life.
