    I agree. Maybe we can forego getting rid of the filibuster with a 57-43 advantage.

    Wait until they see his daughter Ivanka running for President with her vice President Candice Owens. The left's heads will completely blow a gasket.

    I am guessing that's why this was agreed upon by both parties to make this as quick a trial as possible.

    Bipartisanship on the trial rules. And this was the quickest trial in impeachment history.

    Recorded for history.
    And it's over.

    How about Ivanka and Owens as running mates. Either one of them for President.

    I go back to work tomorrow, but thanks. Glad you're having fun. I'm just cooking italian sausage. I never knew people could be so happy with 43% of a vote.

    They struck a deal so Democrats could save face. Too late, all their asses were already showing.

    Your nonsense with the civil war, let alone ww2 and the japanese, and finally the federal reserve. We are not going back to the gold standard. You have been prediciting doom and gloom of the dollar for a number of years now.

    They won't. They won't because then witnesses WILL be called. Including Pelosi et al.

    When the vote to call witnesses passed this morning the Dems were surprised as hell. They thought for sure that it wouldn't pass. When it did and resulted in Trump's defense lawyers stating unequivocally that he would be calling many members of the Senate as witnesses the idea of calling witnesses was quickly reversed and discarded. Of course the media spun it as trying to get the impeachment done and over with so Biden's policies could be implemented. (something that is not certain will happen) But we all know that every single Senator that had the potential of being called as a witness considered the political ramifications of actually being called and what they would have to say if they were. And they didn't like the conclusion that came about due to that consideration. Oh they'll spin it for sure. Along with all those that supported Trump being impeached. For they too know that it wouldn't have turned out good for Democrats.

    Ivanka Trump. That's an alternate reality. This woman will never be elected to anything much less POTUS.

    In the sham impeachment trial, the Senate voted to acquit Donald Trump.

    The Democrats tried to change the game and bring in witnesses. Trump's lawyer said if they do, then he will call in Pelosi as to why she cancelled the security before the rally. To protect Pelosi, the Democrats went to the closing arguments.


    The House impeachment managers folded Saturday morning and backed off witnesses after Trump’s legal team announced that Speaker Pelosi would be called in to testify.

    The Democrats went straight to closing arguments because they have no case and they wanted to protect Nancy Pelosi.

    Trump’s legal team absolutely destroyed the Democrats this week when they showed a video montage of Democrat lawmakers inciting violence against Trump supporters.

    Just as I figured. Libs hold a trial which we knew the results going in and now they say it wasn't fair!

    Hmm... either constitutional or not! You must be saying the entire charade was not constitutional if you are whining about the vote!

    I think the Clinton trial had the exact same vote outcome. At least on Article 1. That time it was 10 Republicans that voted not guilt


    Edit: wrong post quote.

    Yep. Because they were scared as hell of being called in as witnesses.

    So why did Pelosi cancel security before the rally? Seems suspicious to me.
