even the AP called the trial proceedings a sham, although they couldn’t help but throw in this howler:

Senators in both parties reacted with shock and frustration to the gambit, with many arguing that witnesses wouldn’t change any votes and could extend the trial for weeks. Still, 55 senators voted to allow the testimony, with Senate Democrats saying they would support whatever the impeachment managers thought would be best.

But Trump’s lawyers quickly threatened to seek votes on at least 100 witnesses on their own side, making clear the process would be both protracted and partisan.


somehow even the thought of calling witnesses during a trial, after members of both major parties voted to allow said procedure, is “partisan” lmao

lol, you didn't actually read the article, did you? relevant witnesses and testimony concerning the substance of the impeachment vs. obvious stalling tactics by a party that already made their mind up to not convict trump for inciting an insurrection.

while i do think that witnesses would have further demonstrated who has the facts on their side (not that anyone capable of critical thinking and open minded doesn't know that at this point), it's somewhat understandable to not extend the humiliation of republican co-conspirators and sycophants - they are sufficiently exposed to anyone who cares about the facts of what happened on jan 6th, and it's not like congress doesn't have other important matters on their plate now that mcconnell can't just outright refuse addressing issues of critical importance anymore.

some hacks predictably misrepresenting that in order to make themselves feel less shitty about supporting enemies of america and democracy doesn't change that one bit - we don't actually live in trump-cult's #alternative facts world...

The clown show failed, now everyone can move on from Trump the private citizen, instead of living rent free in their minds

oh they wont, people will still make topics and bump threads and complain about him for years. especially the foreign voyeurs and never-trumpers who have nothing else going on in their miserable little lives, and are both aligned with that “lincoln” project group of disgusting grifting deviant criminal biden supporters

absolutely amazing how the same people that went on about hillary fucking clinton (who, after losing the electoral college to trump, became basically irrelevant) throughout trump's whole term, now suggest we should simply "move on" from trump, who not only has a firm stranglehold on the entire GOP (as proven by his acquittal, despite his responsibility for the armed insurrection of jan 6th), is still the god emperor in the minds and empty heads of a majority of republican voters (plenty of examples in this very forum), but most importantly, who is directly responsible for many of the main issues facing america right now (like the terrible handling of covid, the unprecedented political and cultural divide, the ballooning deficit thanks to generous handouts to his corporate buddies, climate and environmental issues resulting from his deregulation favours for his business friends, a shambolic healthcare situation...).

that's like taking a massive stinking dump on the carpet, leaving the room, and then going "i don't even know what you want, i'm already out of the room - just move on"...
but hey, hillary's e-mails, right? the lack of self-awareness by trumptards is mindblowing...

Defending this clown show that is the senate on either side is ridiculous, one is so bent on bowing to the party of trump he might as well be the minority leader.

Yes, almost as relevant as the "Trump overfed the kois"-story:
