It is beyond time to demand that any elected official will represent his/her constituency rather than become a shill for an ideology. The only way to do that is with strict term limits and a comprehensive restriction on fundraising. In addition, any rep violating the Constitution should be immediately recalled..
I’d quibble with the 57 number.
Possible, perhaps likely, a few of the 43 were just positioning to appear to be wearing a white hat.
Also, bear in mind this “trial” was just a show, with a predetermined script, to wake us, as a nation, up. Some of the dems are possibly arrested, with either an actor taking their place and doing what they’d be expected to do, or the actual criminal, who managed to make a deal to save their life.
We expect betrayal from Democrats.
Some people still falsely believe Republicans represent us.
To another point, I do not he was even impeached for the second time since the DELIVERY of the documents didn’t happen until after Biden had been sworn in. Just saying...delivery is part of the “impeachment” process.
Democrats are “good little monkeys, they never, ever, betray their leaders”
Correct. The “politics at any price” mentality of the Democrat party is bringing down our nation.
Sad and true.
The thing that really brings me down is that the respect that I had for congress, the media, the FBI/CIA/CDC/most of the pseudo-academic departments in our joke universities, etc. etc is gone.
I believe that the majority of Americans share this loss of respect for our institutions. This is akin, IMHO, to the death of a thousand cuts. Each cut can be handled. Many cuts cannot.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: oaths of office are NOT legally binding. Look for case law that says otherwise. You will look in vain.
Did some crazy say Biden must fix the Senate because it’s broken ? LOL
At this point, secession seems to be the only prudent course.
That is, unless turning all 50 states into New York is one’s idea of progress.
My first thought was “Spot on!” But after a little thought, it occurs to me that Congress is political: It doesn’t do what its members think in terms of legality; it does what it thinks the members’ constituents want/demand. At least, that is a primary consideration.
Whether Congressional action is Constitutional or not is a call for the Court.
The democrats fear and hate others so much enough to disregard the constitution in favor of power and control. Fear will consume them.
Because they are no better than their Democrat counterparts and they betrayed a vast majority of their base that voted for President Trump, and reelected him only for it to be stolen, and have them falsely claim that it was a fair election. In addition the base voted for them to aide President Trump in his effort to "drain the swamp" and return the country back to "We The People" where it rightfully belongs, per the ideals put forth by our founding fathers of this nation.
The shame is even greater for those Democrats who delighted in the BLM/Antifa unrest and destruction over the summer. They proved that a riot is only a riot if THEY feel endangered. All those people whose lives and property were damaged and destroyed last summer? EFF em. It’s CONGRESS MEMBERS LIVES THAT MATTER.
Very good point!
Every Democrat Senator had the same opportunity and obligation to stand for truth and decency - but failed to do so.
Unfortunately, the number was not 7 or 57 - it was higher - when you add in the cowards like McConnell, Thune, etc., who voted to acquit, but then rushed to the nearest microphone to smear Trump and all his supporters.
The number of betrayers in Senate was 57, not 7.One for each state.
You are right. All of our so-called representative elected officials must be held accountable for their violations of their oaths and be punished for doing so.
I appreciate your point but I just lump all democrats into the criminal category so traitor is really kind of redundant in my mind. But your point is made.
To even participate in the illegal sham is wrong. They were all traitors to our constitution. No Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding, prosecuting to impeach a man who had been already illegally stripped of the presidency - no longer in office - it was a patently illegal, unconstitutional crime perpetuated by all 100 senators against our nation and people. The entire congress is illegitimate and has been hijacked by the Marxist dark forces in the junta-controlled secret police state we are under. Our freedoms disappear by the day. God will have to fix this, as he has done for many totalitarian regimes in history.
