    Real men and women stand up to bullies and criminals!

    Cowards APPEASE them!

    What the GOP has done is UNACCEPTABLE and there will be CONSEQUENCES!

    The criminal IMPOTUS has NOT been exonerated by the FARCE in the Senate.

    The ONLY impeachment trial to have ZERO witnesses is an INDELIBLE STAIN on the Senate for ALL of history!

    So now it is up to We the People to do what those COWARDS failed to do!

    We must rid ourselves of every one of these spineless weaklings since they have proven themselves to be UNFIT for OFFICE!

    We the People DESERVE far better than the sniveling craven butt kissers in the Senate.

    Come November either vote AGAINST them or WITHHOLD your vote from them or vote for a 3rd party alternative.

    Because to vote FOR them says that you support those that used our Constitution to wipe the YUUUGE orange ass of the criminal IMPOTUS.

    Needless to say this OP is my personal OPINION as an Independent.

    I have no doubt whatsoever that criminal IMPOTUS supporters will disagree with it.

    But my position has ALWAYS BEEN and will CONTINUE to be what is BEST for We the People.

    And REPLACING the GOP Senators who VIOLATED their Oath's of Office is what is BEST for We the People.

    We can no longer TRUST them to do what is right for our nation and therefore we must choose others to represent us.

    The question that needs to be answered is do you put party ahead of our nation or do you do what is best for our nation by replacing the GOP Senators with honorable and trustworthy alternatives to the gutless cowards who betrayed our trust in them to uphold the Constitution and the Law of the Land?

    Your thoughts?

    Oh no, ......another Dem who thinks the senate republicans should have fixed the incompetency of the moronic House prosecutors who could have had the testimony of any witness available under law compelled in order to build their case

    And for those who want to dismiss Sherrod Brown as partisan let's not forget that Senator Romney was the lone GOP Senator who did what was RIGHT!

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/andr...s-trump-high-crime_n_5e3bbecac5b6b70886fa1e49

    So yes, there are honorable Republicans who understand that what the GOP Senators did was a cowardly acquiescence to the criminal IMPOTUS!

    We need those honorable Republicans to stand up and be counted and to rid the party of the spinless scum that betrayed both We the People and the Constitution.

    Upholding a RINO -- who amounted to Obama-lite back in 2012 -- as someone that anyone other than a leftist should admire and follow on the Right of Center means that the term 'Republican In Name Only' confuses them.

    So honoring the Oath of Office is something only RINO's do?

    Good to know which candidates need to be picked to REPLACE the GOP Senate cowards.

    My thought is that looking to the words of a Democrat Senator to describe the motives of Republican Senators, is about as big of a waste of time as is imaginable.

    Great post.

    It is disgusting seeing grown men, who should be leaders, grovel before the reality TV star in office. Just watching the pretzels that some of them have to twist themselves into to make their "arguments" is ridiculous. For example, Collins saying that Trump had "learned a lesson". Really Susan, REALLY? Does this look like learning a lesson to you:

    History, however, will not be kind to these Senators. It will show them the cowards they are, and they know it. That's why with all the gloating, the RW knows this is a shallow victory, which will haunt them in the future.

    And yet if you listen to Romney's speech everything he said was based not on fact but ASSUMPTION He assumed with no evidence that the president acted in bad faith which is the canard the house has been pushing for three years. What you believe doesn't matter a tinkers dam. Only what you can prove and you haven't proven much beyond the fact that most if not all of your beliefs are unfounded.

    The House Democrats gathered enough evidence to convene a trial. (Remember that Bolton refused to testify to the House committee.) The Senate was supposed to hold a trial. At a trial ALL of the evidence and witnesses are presented in front of the jury, not just the summaries and arguments of the prosecution and defense. The Senate did not hold a trial.

    The sort of strange and sad thing about all this is that many Republican Senators and Republicans at large seem to agree that Trump isn’t innocent of the charges, it’s just that they feel the charges aren’t serious enough to remove Trump from office.

    Sort of a sad state of affairs when we have lowered the bar so much to accommodate Trump being Trump.

    The only REAL "Consequence" (that the GOP Senate Deserves) would be a Trump Defeat in November.

    All arguments about the merits or lack therein aside........Sincerely, no it will not "haunt them in the future". Aside from your hardcore partisans, nobody cared while this impeachment proceeding was on live TV, and much less now that it is over.

    What would logically lead you to believe that at some point in the future people are going to magically become passionate about this issue and "haunt" Republican Senators at some unnamed juncture going forward?

    I realize this is a notion currently floating around left wing circles, but it truly does not make any sense. They are just trying to put the best spin on this as is possible.Nobody cares now, and they CERTAINLY are not going to care in the future.

    Yes, the GOP senators refusal to rebuke the cancer of authoritarianism rampant in Trump's reign will come to haunt the party this fall.

    Because history will show that Trump actually did what he was accused of doing. It will also show that the GOP Senators voted "no" to witnesses, because they didn't want to take the risk of witnesses telling them what they didn't want to hear.

    Personally, I think that extorting a foreign government for dirt on a political opponent is wrong, and some GOP Senators surely agree with me (behind closed doors). It is wrong now, and it will be wrong in the history books. You will find it wrong too, if a future Dem president will attempt the same stunt. But now, Trump opened the door for that.

    I did not know that I was supposed to provide witnesses to the jury. I thought that the senators were responsible for that. But too bad, the R senators blocked any witnesses.

    Everyone currently has already determined in their mind whether he did or did not do what he is accused of, and aside from hardcore partisans, nobody cares. The belief that at some undetermined point in the future people are going to make a new determination and this is all of a sudden going to be a big deal is nonsensical. I realize this is not your theory, and that it is floating around everywhere in left wing circles currently. They are lying to you. If people do not care now, it is illogical to conclude that at some point in the future it is going to become a big deal.

    They got to present all the witnesses they had brought by affadavit and all the evidence they had. That's all any prosecutor ever gets. It is a measure of how weak there case was that they never brought any of it up and merely spent their 24 hours engaged in bombast and hyperbole.

    Just another rant by an upset left-winger.
