Just goes to show words (oaths) have little meaning to some especially when doing as they say, promise means it might come at a cost. To most reasonable, decent people this sort of thing has become rampant with the republican party.

It's called a trial but really it's not, just a name and it is nothing to do with a trial in the criminal sense of the word. The only real thing to do is try and work towards getting those gop members currently in office replaced with either a dem, progressive or a decent republican-an Eisenhower republican would be fine.

[I have to say I am sorry I am stating this in the manner I am. Apparently you have not been paying attention to current events. Trump is innocent of any wrong doing because that is the way he wants it. Every one of his supporters is afraid of him as they will not even question what he is doing. The Senate is going to support not impeaching him because he want that to happen. I have another question and that is what are these people going to do after the first part of March when there is supposed to be another insurrection and he will be placed into his rightful place. Since the Senate will not go against trump they are going to have to live through all the other shit he pulls to get put back as King of all. That is the way he wants it and no one else matters. Thoughts?

i complain to my reps once every week or two of which Hawley is one. None of them do anything other than form letters. No town hall events, etc. Hawley doesn't even own property in Missouri any longer and uses his sister's address as a connection.

There was a short-lived movement to get Cruz and Hawley to recuse themsrlves as jurors due to their own involvement in the insurrection. The refusal was based on the outside probability that they could be called as witness. That makes them ineligible to be a juror and a witness simultaneously.

A law or rule is as good as non-existant if their is no enforcement or consequences.

WHy do you tell them you are not from their state? I would just say I am a concerned citizen who has an interest in what my representative is doing. If they bring up caller ID, internet phones are funny like that, especially when going through a VPN. Actually, none of that is a lie either, so see, just don't have to give all the info. If it works for them for something that doesn't matter worth a damned, why not use it to your advantage for something that does matter?

I feel and understand your frustrations and as always your logic...the problem is this "trial" is not going to go anywhere because it takes 2/3 Majority and you know as well as anyone that there aren't enough Republicans on our side to convict this POS. Trump OWNS the Senate at this point...so unless you believe in miracles() the only hope we have is flipping more House and Senate seats in 2022. That still doesn't solve the problem of how to stop the POS from running in 2024...somehow we have to find SOMETHING that will "once and for all spoil him for the Republicans.

The GOP would LOVE to get rid of Trump but they haven't found anyone who can manipulate the GOP Base as well as he can. When they do we are in for even worse problems...imagine how far someone with Brains could have gotten...and the sad truth is the only reason I think he lost was because of the Pandemic...this is a ROYAL, FUCKING NIGHTMARE.

In a democracy the vote decides the question and. yes, it becomes answered. They are in violation of their oath.

Further, because conviction is still in question, it feels necessary for me to point this out to ALL gop/MAGA: Our current President, the man with the power to incite insurrection and murder police, is a Democrat. I would authorize that President to not lose office, or allow the seating of ANY gop/MAGA who managed to get elected (which wouldn't be likely under the rules I'd create for elections), BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. One of us is going to live by armed threat and legal murder and I'd rather it not be me. If you don't insist on conviction then that would be your consequence. Suck on it.

Further, on September 11th, 44 passengers on United Flight 93 sacrificed their lives to prevent a hijacked plane from attacking the Capitol. On February 11th, today, 44 Republican Senators won't even raise their voice a vote to prevent future attacks on the Capitol. We honor the heroes of September 11th and we will remember the cowards of February 14th.

Party trumps the Constitution?!

Graham, Cruz , and Paul do not really believe that the impeachment is unconstitutional. That is simply the false excuse that they are hiding behind.
