Zero Senators should be voting for an illegal impeachment.

Zero GOP Senator should be voted for if they follow through with this.

It's all scripted foolishness. LOL at you pretending it might possibly be something otherwise.

Final vote? How many Republicans voted constitutional? Was it just majority? If so, done deal.

So.... Congress gets to vote to determine what’s constitutional?

Sounds like we can just get rid of the judiciary.

Why oh why is it that the only votes ever up for question on this impeachment or basically any other legislation of importance come down to what Republicans will cross the aisle so to say with their vote? Should the evidence not be presented before we know that there will absolutely be all 50 Dem Senators voting to convict? There's not one iota of evidence to be presented to sway ANY Democratic vote. It is pre-planned, just like the very riot they are trying to milk politically. That's not a trial, that's a done deal in advance! What a bunch of bullshite!!!

They also apparently want to attempt to tell us who we as an American people will or will not be allowed to vote for in the future.

How often do we on this forum acknowledge that the Founders had a deep distrust of direct democracy and that they OFTEN put safeguards in place to ... temper ... the general populace? (Electoral College, appointment of Senators, etcetera)

Yes, the Founders saw the need in certain situations for Congress to PREVENT certain persons (public servants who were caught violating the trust placed in them) from being able to run again for office. It is right there in the Constitution.

And in this case, the Senate is NOT going to prevent Donald Trump from running again for public office, should he choose to do so in the future.

My only annoyance is that the Dems in Congress are wasting time on a foregone losing conclusion in furtherance of political theatre.

So this is all political theater to cover their asses for blatantly stealing the election?

What is the purpose of this sham?

Pretty funny that dems preached about getting immediate aid out for covid, yet the fricking impeachment trial is going to happen first. Bought them votes then said frick the people, you'll get your money when we feel like it.

We don’t have a second to waste when it comes to delivering the American people the relief they desperately need. I’m calling on Congress to act quickly and pass the American Rescue Plan.

Mitch is going to be put in charge of the pillow-biting level of Hell.


I'm considering writing a book - sort of a 21st century version of Dante's Inferno.

Mitch will have his own level of Hell, all by himself, where he consistently gets incorrect drive thru orders with ketchup when he ordered mayo. Forever.

See Mueller investigation

See Impeachment 1.0

See Stormy Daniels story.

See everything Nancy's House has done regarding Trump in the past 4 years.

Bread and circuses, my friend. Bread and circuses.

Kind of like Bezos voting that for a cost of one billion dollars, 1 murder of the billionaire's choice should be forgiven. It is not right. It is not moral. But it's damn well empowering.

Speaks volumes to the relative quality of those bases. Doesn't it though?
