(28,476 posts)"The Senators question time in the impeachment trial just concluded and we have bad news: the moment the questions were over, retiring Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee issued a statement that his defining legacy in the Senate will be to cave to Mitch McConnell and vote for a witness-free sham trial."

(12,402 posts)We decided to uphold our Constitution and go down fighting. I am proud of our Democratic House Managers, Speaker Pelosi, and all who worked 24/7 to show the republican party, wh counsel and trump, to be the traitors to our nation we all know they are. I am sure Madam Speaker has the next step planned and is not done with his heinous orange piece of shit hineyness, occupying OUR White House. I hope our Dems shun every republican. No more 'Our friends across the aisle', malarkey. They are traitors to our country. Treat them as such.
