Did Trump put journalists in jail? Nope, that was Adolf Obama.

Strong parallels with the late Roman Republic. Ultra conservatives (Optimates) vs the Populares. Both self interested and different sides of the same coin. Politics of division and not politics for the good of the people. The potential for a "strong leader" to emerge is a real threat to the US democracy.

When Republicans win the House and Senate, they will impeach Obama, Clinton and JFK. Democrats have given the precedence that a former president can be impeached…just wait for the moment.

Pop pop pop goes liberals heads, liberals tears are a joyous thing to witness, by the way MSNBC the party that won the war and freed slaves was the republican party, yes Lincoln was the president of the anti slavery party aka the Republican party.

Eat it authoritarians, Trump got acquitted! Keep feeding your delusional of Trump being a tyrant to your drones while the swamp has ramped up squeezing the people of more of their rights and wealth with your coroporate/lobbyist buddies after that asterisk admin got selected.

The GOP just paved the way for worse $h*thole Republican POTUSes like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Josh Hawley, and Lauren Boebert basically folks who make Sarah Palin come off like MENSA member and sound like a poet laureate.

Waste of time and money for a baseless impeachment.

It appears that this "production" is (was) an act in futility. Now what?

Isn't that the point of acquitting him? To retain the weaponry of the Big Lie and it's vigilante army and to firmly establish the shadow presidency of the former president. Imagine oath abiding impartial jurors meeting with the defense team mid trial to discuss the defense. Terror will still reign at the Capitol. Hawley tweeted recently that he'd changed his seat in the impeachment hearings and that he now had "a clear shot" vantage point further away from the proceedings on the floor. Insidious. Wouldn't voting to acquit the former president amount to aiding and abetting a coup that has not even been acknowledged by the trump supporting senators and members of the house. Truly diabolic.

If Trump is acquitted there is nothing to prevent another tyrant president from doing the same again as Trump with no consequences. He must be found guilty and banned from government

This is so true!!! Others will emulate STrump and it would be so tragic to our democracy!! Yes

Have a write in vote. Everyone write either “guilty” or “acquit” on a ballot in the closed door senate room. Each person then puts their ballot in a box. That way they avoid disclosing how they voted. Some of these GOP senators are scared for themselves and their families.

Sadly, we all know what's going to happen. American Democracy is walking the plank and a small number of misguided men & women are making it happen. A whole country taken down by a few.

This trial is ridiculous! As for the riot, failure to prepare, plan and put adequate security in place is the problem with January 6, 2021. If anyone at the Capital felt Trump insighted riots over the past year or so, whoever is responsible for security should have logically thought to put adequate protection and guards at the Capital. Not just 5 or a few. How did they manage to put gas mask under everyone's chair? They must have anticipated something, but didn't plan to prevent it!

Oddballs like Matt Gaetz, are already jostling to fill the void…. some of them are so wacky they actually do make Trump look like a stable genius 🙄

If there is a God, Toxic Trump will get the South African mutant, get really sick, lose one (or two?) lung and have to wear an oxygen mast till he is 90… I would go to church, if it happened. God? Is this too much to ask? I never ask for anything. I have been real good. Listen to your humble admirer…

Any senator that doesn't vote to convict tRump is a white supremacist. We should make them wear a hood in the chamber!

Write your Senators and Congressmen. Voice your vote. They represent you. Let them know we are watching.
