Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell; pure political power on display

Make no mistake here. Donald Trump is guilty. You witness a show Senate trial run to its completion based on pure politics and the GOP political power. There was absolutely no attempt to find the truth or no commitment to justice whatsoever.

This fact should be prominently displayed in the American press.

and receive them within hours. This is another way to get at Joe. I see they are also threatening Lt. Col. Vindman.

There will be threatening comments made from all directions. Just enough to get a hint of the subject matter, but mostly to make the possible subject nervous. Add to that, nasty and vindictive comments not only from Trump, but from his cronies. Speaking of...where's Rudy Ghouliani?

We'll be seeing these types of things happen through this month, at least. They seem to get their jollies with these tactics. With Gym Jordan onboard, it will really get nasty. He's been itching for a battle for a long time. I would suggest strong women be asked to take the assignment to do battle, as I don't think he can handle them.

Gonna be a rough ride. Hang on!

would be serious enough to step in somehow, and make this fair. No such luck. Seeing him beaming when he entered the SOTU was really disappointing. He seems to "in on it" too We HAVE to get a democratic president, with lots of support into the WH next time. We are being overrun by traitors, with a lunatic at the helm. In a civilian job, tRump would have been escorted out of the building. He needs extended care, and mental evaluation.

He owns all of Trump's corruption now. He also is instrumental in the demise of our democratic system.

We have to keep the House, and take back the Senate. Also, and most importantly, we have to dump Moscow Mitch. Giving money to his opponent so she can keep going is very important.
