they let out and enabled in this remarkably obvious self serving effort to regain some semblance of respectability.
Sorry guys.

My dad used to say "Stop arguing at Yes"

I always took that to mean that when you get a consensus on what you think is right, stop debating and move forward. Don't look for the ulterior motive or you'll become paranoid.
Granted my dad also always told me to seek to understand and remember the motivations of others.
So, I choose today to remember all the #### that some of the pro-Trump republicans in office have said and done, and yet, I'll commend them on coming to their senses (even if for crappy reasons) now.

But, I bet he knew when he really had a yes and when he didn't.

I'm sure, but he was a very pragmatic man

In this case, I'd see him simply wanting this ####-show to finish and get past the embarrassment currently in office as fast as possible.

Perhaps, like me, he believed in accountability.

He sounds like the kind of guy who would have.  ">
This too, shall pass. Sometimes like a kidney stone.

But accountability may best be found down the road, after the important stuff gets done.

of fraud, these republicans would still object despite today’s events. What a joke the GOP has become since Trump took over

But, I think Trump is more the manifestation of the rot of the GOP that has been festering and fostered for years.
