Do any of them have a conscience?

If Stanley Milgram were alive, he would be begging for the grant to study them and their acolytes.
The level of blind obedience is incredible and, as you say, the incapacity to even consider anything but themselves and the lack of conscience is off the scale.
One more week, but this is not over. He will do something. You guys better be ready.
(I am postponing my annual trip to Colorado until this thing is clear).

Too late, too late, too late, but you must take it. Mitch created this monster and, as in Frankenstein, it is now really up to him to jump the ship and go chase him. He really must convey the Senate, convince all GOP'ers, and approve his impeachment and totally disable his return to politics.
Tiny gave them what they wanted: a SCOTUS that is incredibly biased and unqualified, four years of debauchery, and a situation in which Biden will be tied in many aspects, so they can come back in 2024, if they pretend to be serious.
Cash those chips, get a drink at the bar, come back tomorrow. If you start behaving seriously, you may have a future. If something even worse happens during this final week, then you may be completely out of the game.

I believe 3 things are going on.

1) Mitch said in that article that he thinks this is a good way to get rid of Instigator's power over the GOP. He hopes at least.

2) Corporate money disappearing has ROCKED the GOP. It has caused worry about winning competitive seats in 2022 and 2024 such as Rick Scott in FL. We saw an almost an immediate about-face from a few yesterday soon after that news broke.

3. They got a security briefing this morning. Reports are that it was horrifying. What they thought they knew about the attempted coup, they know more now and likely can't ignore it. And whatever is being planned for this weekend was briefed as well, so the possibility of future blood on their hands is very real.

You've got Kevin McCarthy, the #1 GOP in the House, saying this morning he wasn't going to drum up House Votes against impeachment after being blindsided yesterday with the news of loss of corporate money. You've got the one GOP congressman (Katko) saying he's voting for impeachment earlier in the afternoon. Now Liz Cheyney, the #3 in the GOP House, saying she'll vote yes and giving a scathing indictment of him as well. And now Mitch. This is coordinated. Sad it took this much, but this is them finally attempting to bail off this sinking ship at least 11 months too late.

There's a PA State Senator that was at the Insurrection. Almost positive he is either dry@'s state senator or represents the district right next to him.

Jackass went on the radio days before and said he was going to the "death match against the Democrats." And of course him and the retired state senator he was there with posted about it on social media while there, and subsequently took it down. Lovely.

He was reportedly wearing his Olympic Team jacket. Not at all surprising his former coaches and teammates seem to be the ones that identified him.

Mastriano represents the area just east of me. He admits he and his wife were there to support Trump. He also "condemns" the violence... Blah, blah, blah.
