Trump could plead guilty at his impeachment trial and the republicans would still vote not guilty.

[Augiedog]

They would claim he was probed by a Jewish Chinese African American space laser and it turned him into a contrite, apologetic human being. Which of course would be obviously true and false at the same time.

1. Guaranteed. Most of those republicans will argue that the trial is not constitutional, thinking

it will absolve them for their part in the insurrection

2022 will be the real verdict that counts

[ailsagirl]

2. Have those people been turned into robots??

I honestly don’t know what they’re playing at.

Is it still Gross Cognitive Dissonance?

[Lock him up.]

18. No. It's just plain ole cowardice facing their home-grown domestic terrorists with guns.

IOW: the Trump Terrorists (A.K.A. his armed mob).

[CentralMass]

3. They are treasonous scum. There is no compromise with this pack of jackals.

[Ford_Prefect]

4. They Are TRUMPLICANS. Just like our local Ye-Hadists. Calling them republican confuses the issue.

They are not "sympathizers", they are Zealots, True Believers, And Treasonists.

Look at the voting on accepting the electoral college results, and on voting for the 2nd impeachment. They have nothing in common with the party of Eisenhower except the fig leaf of a name and the racist background.

12. Ye-Hadists? That's perfect! Can I borrow?

[Ford_Prefect]

13. I read it somewhere so it is not mine. I do think it captures the essence of the stupid

with a slice of irony on the side.

By all means please spread it far and wide. American ISIS is just too hard to say out loud, and it misses the stupid aspect.

[paleotn]

15. Thanks muchly!

[Jon King]

5. They looked around and he is all they have...

Demographics against them, suburban women gone, the young gone. They have no ideas, no political stars with widespread appeal. Its all over nationally so they figure might as well try to ride Trump to at least get some news coverage.

[gordianot]

8. What they have left is a large deluded cult.

It will take massive election loses to clean them out.

[My Pet Orangutan]

11. What the have left is neo Jim Crow

voter suppression.

[abqtommy]

6. Just how many reTHUGS are gonna be left to vote for tRUMP after we get done

expelling all the seditionists in The House and Senate? I can't wait to find out!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

7. They all want the same thing - a brutal authoritarian fascist dictatorship in America,

with Trump in the position of dictator for life.

[irisblue]

9. That's true

[gab13by13]

10. Democrats could call Christ as a witness,

and Christ could say that Trump was guilty, and RepubliQanons would vote to acquit.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

14. Conviction aside...

The evidence is going to go public. Senators will be on record. Witnesses will relate their fear cowering under desks or anywhere out of sight. Civilian secessionists will recount the “instructions” they say were received from trump.

This has to come out and be shared worldwide (it will be) to show the world trump was an anomaly and we are prepared to move on from his idiotic policies.

The evidence presented may lead to Federal charges where a conviction may be more palatable.

They may choose to “punish” him not by a conviction but vote against giving him the “presidential retirement package” (my name for it).

Other ways to skin that cat.

[LymphocyteLover]

16. Not guilty by reason of insanity-- yeah

[mountain grammy]

17. He could walk into the chamber and shoot

Susan Colllins and republicans would acquit

[Lord Ludd]

19. GOP -- Genuflecting Obsequious Prostraters/Pros-traitors /nt

20. I agree. Totally a joke, but yes, this could happen

They won't convict. They said as much. They did the same thing last time. "I swear to be an independent juror," but no, not voting to convict despite anything I see or hear. These oaths, pledges, swearing on the bible are bs to the nth degree. Sick to death of it.

They also swore an oath to uphold the constitution but they are also not doing that.

21. About sums it up
