The Democrats’ political drama, which is playing out in the Senate, is useful for distinguishing the good guys from the bad guys (and Trump isn’t the bad guy).
I didn’t watch the impeachment proceedings because I was away from my office. Even if I’d been in my office, I wouldn’t have watched. What’s happening in the Senate has nothing to do with anything Trump did. Instead, it reflects the Deep State’s desire to erase Trump from American history as surely as the Egyptians once erased Hatshepsut, a powerful female pharaoh who ruled 3,500 years ago and whose successor tried to destroy every image of or reference to her. Still, a few newsworthy items emerged.
As promised, Trump’s attorneys moved to have the impeachment proceedings dismissed because they are unconstitutional. This motion was legally correct because impeachment exists to remove bad officials from office without waiting for an election. I will never concede that Trump was a bad official, but no one can deny that he is no longer in office.
Nevertheless, all 50 Democrat senators voted against the motion to dismiss the case. Additionally, and disgracefully, six Republicans joined in. For future reference, they are Mitt Romney (Utah), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Ben Sasse (Nebraska), and Bill Cassidy (Louisiana). I won’t speculate as to their motives, but I will say that I cannot imagine any decent, intelligent, or honest motives for them.

The left fails to see that this is part of the eternal battle between good and evil. Maybe a few of them know.
Mitt Romney (Utah) - probably won’t run again, just ran to keep the seat out of conservative hands, since Hatch wanted to retire
Susan Collins (Maine) - just safely reeelcted
Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania) - retiring
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) - will probably retire, since she’ll be trounced (again!) in a primary
Ben Sasse (Nebraska) - just safely reelected
Bill Cassidy (Louisiana) - just safely reelected
See the pattern? The “bravery” comes from not having to face the people, either again or for awhile.
Does anybody else notice that all the democrats vote in unison every time but Republicans always have a few flakes who think people will think they are deep thinkers. People actually see them for who they are. Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Murkowski, and two others voted that although Chief Justice John Roberts refused to sit for this trial, they think it is Constitutional. Why people vote for these clowns slays me! I cannot figure it out!
As we’ve clearly seen - people DON’T vote for these clowns. Doesn’t make any difference when they’re the chosen ones.

Got keep all eyes off Biden as long as possible.
The democRATs repeat history. Most Republicans never learn from history.
