1. Kick.

line in the sand time with these assholes. Let the shunning begin.

[NewJeffCT]

2. and sadly

the offense is completely not a surprise

[CaptYossarian]

3. The former Education Secretary can't think for himself.

[ScratchCat]

4. Scores of people predicted

That the GOP Senate would eventually get around to admitting Trump is guilty of both Article of Impeachment but that they wont remove him anyway. And that's where we are with Alexander's clear statement that it would be unfair for the Senate to remove him.

[Brother Mythos]

5. It's early yet,

but it's certainly the "Tweet of the Day" so far!

[gopiscrap]

18. welcome to DU

[Brother Mythos]

19. Thank you.

[robbob]

6. Am I missing something? Why is Lamar being singled out?

He’s a republican; they are all traitorous scum, voting more or less as a block. So why is he receiving extra scrutiny, both in the media and here on DU?

[hot2na]

7. Because like Susan Collins

Lamar Alexander puts on a charade that he is some kind of principled Republican. These phony so called moderate Republicans deserve all the scorn coming their way. I heard on MSNBC prior to his statement, Lamar Alexander had dinner with Susan Collins. You know they had a pact that Alexander would walk the plan for Trump so that Susan Collins could vote for witnesses, only because she is in serious trouble in her re-election.

Thats why the phony moderates deserve extra scrutiny.

[lunatica]

9. He has been caught admitting Trump is guilty as hell but

deciding to vote for acquittal anyway. And part of it has been to help Susan Collins so she can vote FOR allowing witnesses. That way she can look good to her constituents while actually not stopping the plan to acquit. Theater to keep the masses fooled.

[dchill]

10. He's making hay cuz his name starts with "A."

[calimary]

13. And he's retiring at the end of this year. So he's got nothing to lose.

He no longer is vulnerable trying to hang onto his seat. Doesn’t have to run again. He’s out of range of any meaningful attack by trump. He’s in a perfect position to “go rogue.” He could vote his conscience and vote for country over party.

But then again, it may not be possible to vote one’s conscience if you don’t even have one.

[rurallib]

17. I heard an opinion somewhere (bradblog maybe?) that the Trumpites

will hound and threaten Alexander or any Republican who breaks with Trump whether the person is still active or retired.
So I am guessing in his mind, one last act of craven cowardice will shut the crazies up so he can have a peaceful (if he can live with himself) retirement.

[calimary]

20. Craven is a good word for this, and for him.

[malaise]

23. Early Marley and the Wailers

Perfect word for these greedy self-serving ReTHUGs - Craven a go choke puppy!

Listen to the lyrics

Bob Marley – Craven Choke Puppy Lyrics
Craven a-go choke puppy;
Craven a-go choke puppy now;
Craven a-go choke puppy;

Wo!

So you want all for yourself alone
(wow - wow - wow - wow)
And you don't think about the other man
(wow - wow - wow - wow)
Let me tell you my friend if you gonna live this life
(wow - wow - wow - wow)
It's not good for you to build strife

Craven a-go choke puppy

Craven a-go choke puppy, yeah;
Craven a-go choke puppy now;
Craven a-go choke puppy;
Ooh, can you dig it?

(wow - wow - wow - wow)
(wow - wow - wow - wow)
(wow - wow - wow - wow)

The craven dog will lose his bone
(wow - wow - wow - wow)
(wow - wow - wow - wow) The craven dog -
(wow - wow - wow - wow) The craven dog will (whoo) lose his bone

Grafting after (whoo) something (whoo) else (whoo)
Can't take it for themselves alone

[rurallib]

22. death hasn't stopped them from harassing McCain, has it?

[calimary]

24. And what does that say about THEM, then?

[Amaryllis]

15. He was doing the "I dont know how I will vote" song up until last night along with Collins, etc. He

could have been the deciding vote, in theory. Assuming Collins, Romney, Murkowski and he all voted for witnesses.

12. I must say she's really growing on me

I can’t imagine the rage she must be feeling right now. Yet she comes out to slap the Senate across the face. And boy! Do they deserve that and so much worse.

[Mme. Defarge]

11. Damn proud of my senator!

[Amaryllis]

16. Moi aussi! We are so fortunate to have Merkley and Wyden.

[mgardener]

14. A very wise man said this in 1954. About a different Senator

"Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness." ... "You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"
