Here's the Republicans who voted to convict:

Burr
Collins
Cassidy
Murkowski
Romney
Sasse
Toomey

McConnell essentially making an argument for convicting in his speech right now... I suppose he'll fall back on the silly Constitutional argument.


3 of them are up for reelection in 2023

Toomey is retiring as well I think

U.S. Senate acquits Trump as Republicans save him in impeachment again

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump on Saturday was acquitted by the U.S. Senate in his second impeachment trial in 12 months, as his fellow Republicans shielded him from accountability for the deadly assault by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol, a shrine of American democracy.

The Senate vote of 57-43 fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection after a five-day trial in the same building ransacked by his followers on Jan. 6 shortly after they heard him deliver an incendiary speech.






There is no joy in swampville, the Demmys have struck out. :D


Ok... I'll be the first to say it... Trump 2024. :D

why? so desperate for more bootlicking already?


When faced with the choice between libertarian ideals and owning the libs, cambo decided the latter was preferable. That's why the most blatantly corrupt and abusively self-interested president got a pass from him time and time again.

Now he'll pretend to care again about government overreach and corruption, because there's a Democrat in office.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand the senate shot it down. As we all knew they would. Now the democrats and republicans who voted to convict incitement can go have someone write them a book about how good they are etc and get rich. Cool story bros

You could decide to be honest and recognize libertarian ideals don't line up with the Democrats.

But you aren't a good or honest person so we have these lies instead. Pathetic.

There's a lot of criticism on Twitter that Democrats didn't call witnesses. I tend to think it would be a waste of time... sure, we can talk about this being an inquiry for the historical record, but that's why we have journalists. The historical record will show Trump's incitement and his dereliction of duty, and it will show many Republicans acquitting him because they are part of a deadly and evil personality cult. It's time for Biden to govern... and what he and Democrats do for the American people is far more consequential politically.

Thus ends a colossal waste of time and resources.

If we are going to impeach Trump for spreading lies about the election, which is not what he was impeached for, we are going to have to bar a number of eminent Democrats from public office. There's no will to do that, and so there's no will to do this either.
