Um, sorry to bust your bubble Donald....

[SummerSnow]

acquitted doesn't mean you are innocent and the republican senate only voted that way cause they are afraid of you.

[raging moderate]

1. That is what Trump believes "innocent" means.

These people have different definitions for many of the words we all use. They live in an alternate reality.

[JHB]

2. Just because one makes a getaway doesn't change who he is

[bdamomma]

3. he will always be

branded with Impeachment. And how can he be acquitted without having a proper trial with witnesses and documents.

[bigbrother05]

4. Impeached and survived a vote to remove, essentially a hung jury

Even OJ did better than that.

[global1]

5. Remember That You're Dealing With Trump Here Who Always Has To Be The Best At Anything.....

So in his case - his trial ended with 'a well hung jury'.

[lagomorph777]

8. Python reference appreciated!

[sdfernando]

11. I would doubt that because

lardass mushroom dick, he has to be the biggest....so those other male senators better stay away or they may get the knife!

[pwb]

9. He was Impeached. That is all that counts.

No one expected 67 votes to convict. It never happened ever. So I consider this a big win for us and finally something trump cant sue or buy his way out of. I love it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

12. The GOP will assist in Trump's scorched-earth mission.

They're all in. They won't defend Romney. They'll prefer to see him hanged to please their master. Cowards all, but in Trump's shadow, powerful cowards.

[dalton99a]

6. Republican senators refused to remove him.

That's all

[Wounded Bear]

7. Still impeached...nt

[barbtries]

10. i don't even think it's the right way to frame it.

he wasn't acquitted. the senate declined to convict. acquitted implies innocence, and everyone knows he is not innocent.

[yaesu]

13. I think they are more afraid of Mc Turtle as he said he would cut off their campaign funds if

they didn't step in line with fascist party beliefs.

[Lokee11]

14. Not only forever impeached -

Remember it is also true that this is the first bi-partisan conviction total! I believe no senator has ever voted to remove a member of his own party until Mittens did this week, right, AND THIS WAS WITH A SHAM IMPEACHMENT TRIAL!!!! Orange Orangutan Hitler and the repuglicons claim victory for a game that was scheduled but they refused to play in!?!?!?

Um no disrespect - But uh - FUCK CAPTAIN DIPSHIT and THEM REPUGS TOO!!!!

Blue No Matter Who in 2020!!

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. They aren't afraid of him so much, it's more that they need him.

They need him to stay in that office so the conservatives can continue to rig the entire electoral system in their favor for years to come.

McConnell and the rest KNOW without a doubt, that they are on the losing end demographically, and they have known it for a long time. That's why McConnell is stacking the courts as best he can, because those judges are the ones that will hear gerrymandering cases and other cases about voter fraud, etc. in the coming years.

The ONLY WAY the Republicans can stay in power is if they cheat. If we truly had open, free and fair elections in this country, the Republicans would have 20 Senators and 125 House members.

THEY. CAN'T. WIN. UNLESS. THEY. CHEAT.

If anyone actually thinks we have anything close to a democracy in this country, they're fooling themselves.

[Marcuse]

16. Meanwhile, inside the bubble:

[rockfordfile]

19. What's with posting right-wing crap?

[Marcuse]

21. Because we recognize this particular jury nullification to be crap.

[world wide wally]

17. Land of the free and home of the "brave?

Where?

[mahina]

18. Agreed but they could have been rid of him

So why didn’t they do it?

Out of power he couldn’t have harmed them

[rockfordfile]

20. Because they're all corrupt
