Nixon's impeachment started with a unified GOP

Over the course of a few weeks public sentiment shifted and so did political loyalties in unison with the people. There was a real fear of losing congressional seats.

Even with growing calls for evidence RepubLIEcons today have no fears about who votes or even if they vote. They have no fear of losing.

What do they know that we don’t? Are $$$ going to buy all of them the next majority?

That’s the pressing question as we head towards November.

So now it will be old news even if more comes out. I wish they had kept investigating in the House and not voted for impeachment so quickly. If they try to impeach again they just look desperate.

voting for impeachment stopped Republicans from being responsive to voters.

Trump is 100% corrupt so Republicans will never leave him.
They are all willing to fall on their sword for this asshole, everyone who works with him does.

Republicans are drawn to corruption just as flies are drawn to shit.
