I’m guessing it will have no effect on sociopaths, however.

both in the primary, or in the general if they win the primary. Even if that's all we get out of this, it's devastating for them.

The Raskin family had been through so much, and then they were all in the middle of the Capitol uprising. I hope their late son was watching over them.

This makes me so angry, this cretin wanted this from 2016. He wanted to take down our country and our democracy. May he get punished and convicted to never run for any office again.

Trying to look busy shuffling papers (Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz), ignoring the video (Tom Cotton, Rick Scott).

Fucking fascist traitors.

7. Are all the Democratic senators paying attention?

Probably 95 senators know how they're voting, maybe even 98. It's hard to pay attention for a long time, when you know you will be unaffected by the arguments.

of the United States Senate is made up of immoral cowards that actually care nothing about this great nation and vote only to serve only their selfish interests literally makes me cry. They do not care that the person undeniably responsible for this insurrection and the five lives lost, innumerable injuries and incalculable damage to the United States standing in the world will walk away from this trial smirking and thinking he has won a victory. They are all all losers and traitors and I hope history will find them so.

Dirty stinking lousy republicans. I can still hear him say that in my mind to this day. I’m grateful he is is not with us today because he would be losing his mind how much he immensely disliked republicans. He couldn’t stand Nixon nor Reagan. He thought MF45 was a jerk also in the 80’s and 90’s. He passed in 1997 and only saw briefly how the republicans got even lower.

I am so glad Trump's second impeachment is going forward. He's the best at getting impeached.
