It was really a no-brainer going into the entire fiasco of a ridiculously political impeachment effort. For all their scheming, machinations and insufferable disconnect from a moral nation, these DC officials know they do not represent America. Additionally, they know 75 million people voted to support President Trump… THAT LOOMS LARGE.
In the end the Senate voted to acquit President Donald Trump by a 57-43 vote that began just after 3:30pm ET after closing arguments. The Republicans who shamelessly voted to convict are the same cast of DeceptiCon characters we see in every vote: Richard Burr (NC), Bill Cassidy (LA), Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK), the ever insufferable Mitt Romney (UT), Ben Sasse (NE), and Pat Toomey (PA). [Toomey and Burr are not seeking reelection 2022.]
WASHINGTON DC – […] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)said in a striking post-acquittal speech that Trump was “morally and practically responsible” for the Jan. 6 insurrection but he is “constitutionally not eligible for conviction” because he is no longer in office.
The 57-43 vote marked the first time since 1868 that a majority of the Senate voted to convict a president on an impeachment charge. And the seven Republicans who broke ranks are the most to support the conviction of a president from their own party in American history.
[…] The outcome highlights Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, even after he left office facing withering condemnation from within the GOP for his post-election conduct. The Republican lawmakers who supported impeachment and conviction in the House and Senate have already faced sharp backlash from constituents and local GOP organizations. (read more)
We The People support President Trump. Ultimately, that assembly is what matters. The disconnected political creeps in Washington DC will get their comeuppance. Trump will deliver a fire and fury against the GOPe DeceptiCons…. I have ZERO doubt.
Running silent, deep and respectful is how Trump rolls. However, when disloyalty surfaces he will destroy the opposition without reservation and with extreme prejudice.
If you doubt the fury and patience of a righteous man, think back to the 2015 primary race and candidate Donald Trump standing in front of a national audience and telling Jeb and the world that George W Bush and family inc. were toxic to our nation. Brutal honesty that few would ever speak openly. It works because it is true. Somebody has to say it.
This was the essential point when CTH wrote: “GOP Beware“.
If President Trump the MAGA army into the political battle of his choosing, that assembly is structurally set to lay waste to any candidate within both wings of the Democrat and Republican clubs. A Trump inspired political-era can wipe out the illusion of the Democrat/Republican two-party system; specifically because much of the Trump movement consists of former democrats and brand new voters.
The MAGA coalition is the most diverse, widest and deepest part of the entire American electorate. President Trump’s army consists of every creed, color, race, gender, ethnicity and orientation. It is a truly color-blind coalition of middle America patriots and middle-class voters that cuts through the political special interest groups.
[…] There is no reference point for 75 million Americans being disenfranchised by Wall Street, bribery, corporations, media and big tech. That 75 million person army is fuel for a stunning and cataclysmic shift in the American landscape.
Beware the fury of a righteous and patient man… We know him. What comes next is simply another challenge that fuels the central nervous system of a man who loves to take on insurmountable challenges in life.
Be of good cheer…. The best is about to come.
So when is the next impeachment? I imagine nancy and liz are working on it?
I will never vote for a Democrat, but I live in North Carolina and I will NEVER vote for Richard Burr again. I’ll vote for his primary challenger, but if he gets the nomination I will not vote for him in the general.
Your statement is truer than you know.
From the first section of sundance’s post:
Burr’s so hated he’s not even going to try to run again. ?
Burr announced he would not run for reelection…right after he got reelected
SMDH
The Turtle is 78 years old and just got back in for 6 more years! The PO S benefited from voter fraud. He won Dem areas by wide margins he lost in the past.
I believe all the senate rinos who are part of the uniparty have rigged elections!! Those that work with Mitch. Look at all those senate rinos who won by big margins and were reported behind. Graham, Mitch, Maine candidate. They needed Mitch to make the deals with Schumer. It is all rigged. It was rigged before 2020 it just 75 million ppl showed up this time and they had to pull out all the stops. Trillions of dollar at stake to quote Sundance.
They need to recall him! Do not let him serve out his term!
HE IS NOT RUNING. RETIRING.
If NC permits recalls, NC should petition to recall Burr so he doesn’t get to serve all of his current term!
Is Richard Burr related to Aaron? Just asking.
The answer is yes, but it is very complex to trace the lineage, but he is related to Aaron
LOL!!!! How fitting!!!
Tell Mbitch that all your GOP belong to us.
The most disappointing thing about McConnell’s post-trial comments was that he paid no attention to the obvious, and legally decisive evidence that the riot was pre-planned, and that it would have occurred even if the President had invited everyone to hold hands in prayer during his hour-long appearance while singing “Kumbaya!”
I fear some have not opened their eyes wide enough. Mitch was in on the Capitol mob. How can you not be aware of this. This would never have happened without the part he played with Pelosi. Shit just doesn’t happen. Just watch the video to see all orchestrated. Why was it being filmed from the inside, how did the camera get there prepositioned.
Do not believe any implied message from those absurd censor announcements coming from the state gop executive committees for the admitted establishment bums that voted “quilty” on the impeachment scam. Can only speak for NC as I am a resident here, but there was nothing MAGA about those state gop organizations to begin with. A desperate move by people that know their ship is sinking.
What a pack of rats
#1 thing to be done TODAY? REMOVE mcturtleshit from his leadership role. Has to happen. No ifs ands or buts about it.
cant wait to see the Trump run Primaries to drop these deceitful corrupt scum, Run again or run Don in 2024 and return the US to the Constitutional lawful republic it should be, Trump plus 75 Million Americans and counting are a powerful enemy.
My ideal would be, health and age permitting, that Donald The Great would run in 24 with DeSantis. However, if you ‘run 3rd party,’ you’re essentially admitting you’re running as a spoiler, or just ‘to get your message out!’ To win, very unfortunately, it means another hostile take-over of the corrupt Republican Party. Personally, I am willing to go that rout to see both the 45th President of the United States become the 47th President, and a Vice-President Ron DeSantis become the 48th President of the United States in 2028.
This is the list. I hope it becomes a “sticky” here, as we should make it known when their re-election ploys begin:
Richard Burr (2022)
Bill Cassidy (2026)
Susan Collins (2026)
Lisa Murkowski (2022)
Mitt Romney (2024)
Ben Sasse (2026)
Pat Toomey (2022)
House of Reps:
Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
Rep. Jamie Herrera-Beutler of Washington
Rep. John Katko of New York
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan
Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington
Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina
Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan
Rep. David Valadao of California
Toomey and Burr are retiring. We need to target D’s in strategicaaly important staes like OH, IA, MI, WI, TX, GA, NC and yes, VA and NH.
Damn shame, since most needed Trump to stump for them in order to win re-election. Cassidy is done. If we can get rid of his tired traitorous ass, he’s gone!
The Uni-party fears us because their divide and conquer tactics don’t work on MAGA
Truth wins
One thing people are missing in the celebration is a also a great cause for celebration. The Senate democrats are in the majority. So, with the acquittal vote of 57 to 43 and 7 RINOs voting to impeach that means quite a few Democrat senators voted to acquit.
Modern Math? New math? Democrat vote count?
Hey, JM! Actually the vote was 57 to convict (all 50 dimmocrats and 7 traitorous pieces of Repugnant Trash). That number is short of what is required to impeach.
The statement that they voted to acquit is somewhat misleading. It would be more clear to say that they failed to impeach him because they didn’t have the required votes.
Saw a comment on another site that says Trump now has 2 impeachment rings. He has 2 acquittal rings to go with them.
*biden has been in office a bit over a month, yet Donald Trump continues to make headlines. And while it would be nice to hear about *bidens “accomplishments”, I find it funny that President Trump has set up residence in their heads, rent free.
They were even mentioning him playing golf while the “trial ” was going on. I think it makes them mad that he would continue to live his life.
Looking at the election time logs proves that more than 75 million voted for him. Precincts in Antrim County, Michigan, completely flipped votes from Trump to Biden. Nessel, Mich AG, has threatened lawyers and legislators that object to election results with legal action or disbarment.
‘…Trump was “morally and practically responsible” for the Jan. 6 insurrection…”
Where to begin. . .
RINOs have always called President Trump “Trump,” even while they still address the Oblasphemer and his girl child VP Bite-them, as President and Vice President. They show respect only to those who are in the money bag.
“…morally and practically responsible…” Mad Mitch is totally insane to believe he has the capacity to judge any type of morality.
Worst of all in his little diatribe, or the rantings of any of these idiots, is the word insurrection.
I realize the evil left changes the meanings of words so they have no real meaning, or multiple meanings depending on how old the hearer is, but knowing real insurrectionists are called peaceful protesters, all of us at our nation’s capitol on January 6th should be called a kindergarten field trip.
Can we vote those rinos off the island? They aren’t conservative in any way… Just call them democrats. Biden isnt the president elect. He’s big tech select.
Well good riddance to Toomey and Burr,
Every single decepticon in DC needs to remember: All politics is local..they will eventually have to return home to be re-elected. There are 75 million + of us with very long memories. As you’ve pointed out lots of time, we now know the Uniparty is a giant buzzard with a left wing and a right wing. We must be the buzzard..the body. Primary and get rid of every decepticon
You can add McConnell. Someone was briefed on the preplanned riot by non-Trump ppl. Someone turned down the National Guard offer. Pelosi, Schumer & McCarthy are all probably complicit.
According to his question to the attorneys and “impeachment managers,” Cassidy was worried about poor Pence being scared and President Trump didn’t do enough to help poor Pence while he was stabbing the whole country in the back.
I realize now that Pence was a back stabber from the beginning. He was ready to step in after the Access Hollywood Tape. He is responsible for firing General Flynn, which was the most damaging development in the entire administration. According to Peter Navarro, Mark Short, his chief of staff, tried to sabotage Peter Navarro in the Covid taskforce. Peter Navarro said that Pence did nothing. Mark Short did everything and worked against the President the whole time. No wonder the President banned him from the White House grounds. His chief of staff would not work against the President without the approval of Pence. We are lucky that we have a sign from the primary that has only “Trump” with no Pence.
Pence is finished, along with Cassidy.
I asked the traitor Collins for my donations back. I was so proud of my husband. He called her local office (because her Washington office is closed) and said she was texting us multiple times a day for donations “like a $2 crack whore” prior to the election while betraying us over her treatment of the President. He keeps bringing it up and I tell him how proud I am of him, as well as having a really good laugh.
I am so proud of you both!
Yes, this.
I think it was closer to 100 million for POTUS Trump. And don’t believe the vote tally for the pedophile thief and his whore–if they got maybe 25% of what’s reported, I’m not sure I’d even believe that much.
We have to continue to fight because there is no “lose” for MAGA.
Senate votes to acquit Trump
Alaska’s district 31 unanimously voted requesting Lisa Murkowski resign from the Republican Party.
Stating their disapproval and censure of her actions.
I can’t post the official copy. I did email to Sundance.
Great news for us here in Alaska who have been so disappointed in Lisa’s blatant disregard of our wishes.
Please consider signing the petition for Kentucky politicians to recall Mitch McConnell. I can no longer stand this man! Maybe the citizens of KY will do this themselves, if the other politicians will not!
https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/mcconnell-recall
All Democrats voted to impeach President Trump!
