Most sane people understand there was an election and we have a new president, so have moved on. Frankly, I don't give a fuck about an impeachment trial, or whether he's convicted or acquitted. It's over and now I'm focused on the next 4 years.

I guess Trump is like oxygen to some people and the media...they just can't get off the bottle. PTrSD, the gift that keeps giving.

Seeing as if the Repubs are going to give Donald two wins in a row without nary a "so what?", I'm assuming if Biden pulls the same crap that Donald broke records over, the Repubs would afford him the same kind of preferential treatment, right?

I mean, the Repubs have now set a precedent, haven't they? That the POTUS, ANY POTUS can incite insurrection in order to stay in power and it's all good, right? And that committing treachery via bartering a quid pro quo arrangement with foreign govt's to win elections is perfectly fine, A-OK too, yeah?

Lol most sane people? Do you think you are one of the sane ones, traitor? No you favor moving on because you are not sane but rather a trump cult member. You want the traitor to be free from his actions because you too are a traitor.

I hope the fact that your friends and family have all but abandoned you was worth your devotion to trump and losing your country over.

You will be remembered as a loser and a traitor.

Btw, most people support impeaching trump.

Poll finds 47% of Americans favor Trump conviction in impeachment trial: poll

Just under half of Americans think former U.S. President Donald Trump should be convicted in his Senate impeachment trial after the first day of the historic proceedings, according to an Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters released on Wednesday, with opinions split along party lines.

Some of this footage from the security cameras inside is nuts. Just seeing how close everyone was and stuff. Especially those people who baricaded themselves in the inner office and 7 minutes later the mob came through and tried to get in.

It all depends basically on if you are a liberal or conservative. Liberals/Dems generally hate Trump with a passion. So much so that they are willing to be just as bad, just as unethical or break any rules necessary because after all, the ends justify the means. They hate Trump, and they are willing to even do something unconstitutional, and impeach a private citizen. They are just as bad as the people that hate.

The first impeachment was a joke. Schumer and Pelosi tried over and over to find something that would stick to the wall, and when one thing didn't work be it Russia collusion or whatever, if it didn't stick, they moved onto the next thing and the next. It's so obvious they hated the duly elected president and were willing to try anything and still are. Terrible. It was a complete travesty, and as some call it, just political theater, while they wasted tax payers money instead of doing the business of the government.

The advantage of the liberals is they are in bed with the main stream media who just do the jedi hand wave about anything that disgree's with their agenda. voter fraud, no evidence. Never mind all the shananigans in PA, GA and other states. Look the other way, that's right. The media no longer reports the news. They report mostly opinion, and are daily dripping with bias. Adios.

I suggest that you examine and comment on the merits of the case. As has been pointed out, precedent exists for trying an impeached official after they have left office, and legal scholars widely agreed that trying an impeached President after they resigned was correct, hence Nixon resigning from office prior to articles of impeachment against him being voted upon in the house.

Your entire narrative reads "Democrats bad" and "motivated by hatred instead of facts". Again, I suggest you examine and comment on the facts. Otherwise, what am I supposed to see other than hatred?

So let's start here. You think it was ok for Trump to send his personal lawyer over to the Ukraine and force US government employees to to help him try and dig up dirt on a political foe? That is ok in your book? Just because McConnell didn't put a a trial on doesn't mean that trump should not have been kicked out of office the first time.

Actually, I guess I just got lucky cause they are doing a thing about how Biden's not getting the schools open. So, no they are not doing 100% coverage like MSNBC and CNN.

OK.... HERE'S THE DEAL.

If republicans WILL NOT take this seriously and refuse to do what they know is the right thing to do, then.... Joe Biden and the democrats MUST expand the US Supreme Court to 12 or 16. After that, Joe Biden will select those three and or seven additional justices and the democratic controlled house and senate will fast-track those Biden nominations into sitting justices of the US Supreme Court. THIS MUST HAPPEN, and republicans will absolutely freak but I say F... THEM. If republicans in congress refuse to do their duty then democrats MUST control all of government including the high court. Nancy... Chuck.... I know you're listening.

They seem to be working the "you're lucky to be alive" and hunting for Republicans thing, and also the first responders blue line thingy, this round. Gee, I wonder why?

Wow, this model they are showing. I didn't know the senators/vp were that close to the insurrectionists. These senators are cowards. Trump tried to have them hurt and they bend over.

They don't want to get primaried from their right. That is the simple political calculation every GOP member who votes to acquit Trump is making.

I will say that while the capitol police's leadership may have stank like week-old fish and some of the individuals in it may have been questionable, as a whole - their rank-and-file members were clearly done a disservice and didn't deserve the blame that was slung at them.

For the past four years you have been on the same side as the Q Shamon. Talk about not giving a fuck, none one gives one about what you think? You have displayed an inability to share sane thoughts... repeatedly.

Anybody who still supports Trump after this, is evil. Anyone who votes to not convict Trump, is also evil. I mean those are just cold hard facts.

Let's face it, history has shown us that in every nation are large groups of politically and socially evil people, that just need the right political movement or leader to come along and wake that evil up. In modern America, that is the Trump party and Trump supporters.
