Sens. Tim Kaine and Susan Collins are privately pitching their colleagues on a bipartisan resolution censuring former President Trump, three sources familiar with the discussions tell Axios.

Why it matters: Senators are looking for a way to condemn Trump on the record as it becomes increasingly unlikely Democrats will obtain the 17 Republican votes needed to gain a conviction in his second impeachment.

Even with censurng, there should be an investigation of crime.

No crime was committed.

They have witnesses who say Trump sent them subliminal messages and dog whistles to overthrow the government.

Oh, bullshit. Even my cat does things he shouldn’t and says it was because of the voices in his head. *chuckle* Anyone, on any given day, can twist and construe something to mean something different than what it was. Parsing is for the wicked and weak-minded.

I did a cursory search and could find “NO” cases or authority for the congress to censure a private citizen. It is not in the constitution nor in the rules of the house or senate. I would think that censuring a private citizen is also a bill of attainder.

“Says a lot about us!”

??

It says way more about them.
President Trump had everything to lose and nothing to gain. He ran for the presidency to drain the swamp. And by that he meant to expose the corruption of the deep state. And overturn entrenched political class system that incentivize politicians into the corruption of the media/government cooperative. The public money that flows to the deep state infrastructure he interrupted and nothing make them angrier.

There’s no more sincere endorsement to the american citizenry, than the hatred of the greedy deep state politicians squealing because they didnt get slopped.
