BREAKING! BOMBSHELL! EXCLUSIVE! THERE’S A SALE AT PENNEY’S!
They just looooove helping their dem comrades
I’m surprised at Cassidy.
We have a ROGUE, CRIMINAL and EVIL Government now.
This is the WORST Government on the Planet
Bar none!!!
I will NEVER vote in another election, EVER. Why prolong the inevitable?
Same old gals
Unbelievable. They really don’t understand the Constitution do they...or their role to uphold it.
No. A court decides if it is legal. This sham trial is a miscarriage of justice.
It’s a twister!
If it’s so constitutional - where’s Roberts?
actually..Cassidy jumped sides....what a punk...
Nothing like Senate members publicly announcing to the world that the Constitution means what they say it means. They need to be deported tomorrow.
A middle school kid knows more about the Constitution than those jerks.
Next up: Senate votes themselves to be God Almighty, names themselves creators of the universe.
Morons.
Heh, heh.
Trump needs some attorneys to defend him who will fight for him. The effort today by his counsel were wussified and pathetic. Where did he get these simps? This is astounding!!!
Why in the hell did Cassidy flip his vote? Didn’t he vote for Rand Paul’s dismissal vote a week or two ago?
