"....A majority of senators voted to convict Trump — 57 to 43, including seven Republicans. But two-thirds, or 67 votes, was needed to convict. It was the second time Trump was acquitted in an impeachment trial.

The seven GOP senators who voted to convict Trump on Saturday were: Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania......"

Burr is leaving Congress as I recall. A useless POS when he headed the Sen. Intelligence Committee, a misnomer if there ever was one.

Cassidy is toast.

Murkowski has always been a backstabber and will remain so until someone can oust her on a scandal.

The same for the cowardly, squish known as Collins. I suspect that she and Murkowski are direct descendants of Benedict Arnold.

Sasse; Insane. Period. Somehow he has got to be recalled from office or given such a vote of no-confidence on the grounds of political treason that he is shunned in his state.

Romney - Super ego, mental midget, turncoat, POS, and the inspiration for the “O’Jays” song, “ Backstabber”.

Toomey -coward and possible corrupt. Time will tell with an awaiting jail cell already for him.

The writer of the NPR hit-piece, Montanaro is nothing but a Democrat smear job. He uses irrelevant words against Pres. Trump including accusing him of advocating and supporting all of the following on Jan. 6th, from a mile away from the Capital - violence, rioters, insurrection, as well as “many believed”, “baseless claims of widespread election fraud”, “trumps false claims”, and “Trump’s rhetoric”.

Add into this LSD crystal-ball mindset, re “Trump now plots his next steps” (”plots”, not “plans”), “potential legal trouble” re NY State vindictive and possibly corrupt leftist AG James and whatever they are creating in Stacy Abram’s Marxist part of Georgia; “mounting debt and devalued assets” - Something not proven nor credited to the pandemic; and has been “able to spin difficulties” in the past (that’s what politicians do every day, esp. the Democrats over Benghazi, ISIS, illegal immigration, corrupt Democrat politicians who are beginning to fill up our local jails, election corruption/fraud by Democrats and their operatives, corrupt judges who refuse to hear cases on their merit/documents, and their continual lies and threats of violence from Maxine the Psycho Marxist Waters to Cuomo, Schiff (”I have tons of evidence of Russian collusion”), Red Chinese banger Swalswell, Pelosi who makes up House rules as she goes along, the Rules of Procedure, the Constitution and Precedence be damned.

I won’t even mention the Democrat Party elected “Red Diaper Babies” in the White House and Congress right now. That will come in a later piece this week. Nor will I mentioned the totally corrupt mainstream media whose scandals are mounting day by day including the Lincoln Project sex predators story, the Old Age Homes killings by Cuomo, Fauci’s mishandling of the COVID19 epidemic, the WHO Wuhan flue virus cover-up which the Dems are promoting, etc.

I was going to have a chocolate “Ding Dong” snack but I just wrote about hundreds of them so I’ll find something more healthy and tasty, say a burger and tators.

They knew he would. They wanted the circus anyway, hoping that they would sell deplorables on their load of crap, or discourage other people from joining the throng of deplorables because of their load of crap.

Make no mistake my friend they were out to get us not him. Those seven senators that voted to convict are on our list.

McConnell Threw down the line in the sand and basically said he Trump is not the party anymore. Really? We will see

The number one goal for all of us should be eradicate political careers. Term limits need to be the norm.

If we are to have checks and balances in a separate but equal three-prong form of government, then all three prongs need to be guided by term limits - not just the executive branch. Power without absolute limitations on the duration of power leads almost inevitably to abuse of that power.

There can be no long-term representative government when power is held by a self-interested oligarchy who are willing to foment hatred among the populace in order to maintain their own power.

It’s an absolute travesty that this even went forward. Since the DemonRats were allowed to even attempt to impeach somebody who isn’t sitting in the presidency, what is stop them from impeaching a candidate that has never sat in the seat? This will allow them to impeach a strong incoming candidate and leave the opposition with a lame-o like McCain or Romney. “Oh, your lead candidate got impeached the day before the election, ain’t that a bitch?” This is what America is about?
