Republicans freely admit that Trump did what he was impeached for they don't care and don't want witnesses, they need to be reminded about this trial in the future, as for the Democrats this trial was never going to remove Trump from office they need to get back on the campaign trail to win the Presidency, but more importantly they need to really go after the Senate.

Yeah... good thing the ******* GOP defeated the motion to call witnesses. *****, the lot of them. 

Remember this date if the Democrats can take the Senate come election time, Bolton's info will drip out and Parnas seems to have the goods on a lot of people, that will also drip out. People need to worry that Trump will do absolutely anything and everything to stay President and it's becomes apparent that his enablers need to keep him there too.

Whatever morals the GOP claimed to have had have been completely abandoned. Trumps' attorneys have given thousands of dollars to the re-election campaigns of all the GOP senators who sat in judgement on Trump, and they have taken the position that the abuse of power never happened, that it was legal, and finally, that it didn't matter. According to constitutional scholars, this is a massive step towards a fascist dictatorship in the US.  Now that Trump has been given absolution and blanket immunity for any future actions, he will run wild, and so will his followers.

Can't wait till Trump tries to have people that oppose him arrested, you know his little pea sized brain has thought about this

There is a very scary precedent here. In the late 50's, two rednecks in Alabama shot and killed two black men for no particular reason. The evidence was absolute and uncontested, and the two miscreants even admitted to the killings in an interview with a magazine, but the jury acquitted them, with no directed verdict or appeal filed. When interviewed, the jury members said there was no doubt that the two accused did the killing but acquitted them because they believed there was nothing wrong with whites killing Negroes. That sort of thinking is rife in much of the US and in the GOP.

As with the Kavanaugh hearing Democrats went full Thelma and Louise. Should have gone with a new team for the trial phase.  All they did was alienate centrist republicans with talk of "treason" who were already turned off from the hysterical, over the top  rhetoric. Tsk. Had a real shot at prolonging this.

Clear pattern of ridiculously bad decisions. As in life revenge and anger can be so self defeating.

None of this is true.

The fact two voted for witnesses is shocking enough.  But If there is a clean member among the GOP it’s likely Mitt. He was beat up badly by trump too.  Not shocking unfortunately is GOP taking their chances on no witnesses.   I mean, they don’t have much of a choice lest a bunch of them end up implicated.  
 

Hopefully the electorate remembers this.  But you can never count out the Dems to self destruct.

let's be honest, if they didn't know for certain that they were going to shoot this down they would never have allowed anyone to vote outside the party line. 

 

It's just tremendously sad that the checks and balances shirked their responsibility and effectively made the US into a dictatorship. For an unhinged moron no less. God willing the voters in the US wake up and vote the assholes out of power and the Democrats grow a set and go on the war path rooting out the systemic corruption and jailing all these traitors.

"Had they waited a couple of months they could have got Bolton s  testimony, other witnesses and key court orders. This was a rush to failure. History will look back at their timing as a baffling mystery"

In news that should surprise no one, at a Bernie rally a staffer led the crowd in anti-Hillary chants.  
 

Bernie really is a first rate a$$hole. Only left wing delusions would embrace a guy who is 1000 years old and had a heart attack during the campaign as its nominee.   The shame is that it’s over shadowed Warren, a legitimate progressive option who could whoop Trump.  Bernie should have dropped out after his heart attack.  
 

Now it will be Biden who should beat trump handily but he’s got the stink of Burisma and will face attacks from all sides.   He’s also not going to choose Warren as his running mate due to age so the progressives are going to be hot.  
 

The trump trial went exactly as expected.  Now Dems have to use it to their advantage and punish the alt right not each other.
