What I wish more would realize

is that Democrats are very brave. Pundits always talk about all the pressures Republicans have and why they can't stand up to Trump. Worried about mean tweet, less donors, criticism, threats of violence. But brave men and women who are Democrats continue to face the threats. Democrats get death threats, have to move location, get threatened by donors, and face down Trump threats to release damaging information.

I'm so proud of our Representatives and House managers from this impeachment and the last one. I'm so proud of the Michigan Governor, the Pennsylvania elected Dems who faced down the threat and prevailed.

Our party is filled with brave patriots and heroes!!

to get the corrupt Traitor Party people out of office, in our towns and cities, counties, states, and Congress. The nation needs to be rid of them. If we don't do it, no one will.

vote for conviction. No small accomplishment given the indecency and corruption of the Traitor Party.

We should slam that fact at Traitor Trump and his followers. Even if the conviction votes did not reach the 2/3 majority, there was still a solid majority that voted for conviction.

if you can fight through all that and put them in your rear view mirror, you know you have them on the run. They used to appear a juggernaut, unbeatable...and now they absolutely do not.

15. The trial accomplished two main things.

It publicly exposed just how involved Traitor Trump was in the incitement to insurrection.

It also exposed the corruption of the Traitor Party in not convicting him.

Now the public knows who and what they are, beyond any doubt.
