McConnell laying into Trump on the floor of the Senate after voting to acquit him, pleasing essentially no one.

He’s not wrong in what he’s saying. Democrats chose the wrong tool to get to Trump. Impeachment of a private citizen is not constitutional.
If Trump is guilty of an actual crime, then the U.S has a criminal justice system that can convict and punish the 45th President now he is out of office.

Sure but aside from saying there are other avenues to prosecute him he is also laying into him about his actions and his failures aside from any legal issues. Surprisingly critical and personal against someone who will remain a big player in the GOP.

Apparently Trump later rang the Senate President Pro Tem, asking him if he could find 8 more votes for Yrump...

Re: Trump impeachment: Senate trial to start
Pretty sure classifying people who didn’t vote for Trump as "traitors" is how we got into this mess...

Well the State of Louisiana GOP has unanimously voted to censure their Republican U.S Senator Bill Cassidy for voting to convict Trump.
In a Statement, on Twitter, they said:
Quote:
|
We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the vote today by Sen. Cassidy to convict former President Trump. Fortunately, clearer heads prevailed and President Trump has been acquitted of the impeachment charge filed against him.
|
North Carolina GOP have also distanced them self from Republican Senator Richard Burr, for voting to convict Trump. Issuing a Statement that they were “Disappointed by his contradictory vote to convict after earlier voting agreeing that the trial was unconstitutional.”

Re: Trump impeachment: Senate trial to start
Bill Cassidy isn’t up for re-election until 2026, and Richard Burr retires in 2022, so they’re probably not that bothered...

Again, you’re not informing me of something I already knew.

Fair do’s. (But you were responding to something I’d specifically raised).

Re: Trump impeachment: Senate trial to start
I'm predicting the yanks will vote Trump back in, and he will be spouting the illegal votes for the 3rd election in a row.
