i continue to hope enough of them can be shamed into ducking the vote.
or that they realize they should follow ben franklin's advice to hang together.

They are damned if they do vote to acquit, and damned if they don't. Do the right thing and trump will spill the beans, do the wrong thing, and voters could vote against them in November. I am sure most of the ones in safe republican districts won't have to worry much about the voters, but the others will.

I will be very interesting!

His downfall implicated vast numbers of Repubs in a giant web of corruption spreading across the government.

In his case, the swamp really didn't get cleared out, and now we have it on steroids.

I do believe he is a good man.

But he’s damaged goods as far as presidential timber. For the same reason that Mitt was. Go to Utah and spend any amount of time there and tell me they grasp the concept of separation of church and state.

They do not.

Maybe Putin has grown frustrated with Trump and all the other Republicans who have received Russian money. Sanctions are still in place and they have all fucked things up beyond repair.

I bet Trump pressuring Ukraine for dirt on Biden was not part of the Putin playbook. If Putin had been involved Trump would not have had to do or say anything.

By Lev flipping, Putin is letting everyone know who is in charge.

Maybe Trump is promising full pardons to Senators who vote to acquit him.

I have said this before, Trump and his family will be found out to be the biggest crime family ever in this country. The republicans love this because they can jump on the bandwagon with the cover of Trump. This is exactly what they did. Now they are getting caught.

I saw it last summer. It is a real photo. The bearded guy is a right-wing Israeli rabbi. Forgot his name.

Probably only a friend of “the Duggar-Defender” because of the support the Likud party gets from America’s “Rapture” aficionados.

You compromise everyone you want in the "family", once they have blood on their hands they cannot get away.
