To the senators who won't convict

1 cop murdered
2 cops committed suicide
140 cops injured
1 cop brain trauma
1 cop crushed cervical disc
1 cop lost 3 fingers
1 cop stabbed w/ metal stake
1 cop lost eye

When the mob attacked, trump was reportedly "delighted".

This is NOT going away you filthy cowards!

Democrats should be so tired of being handed a knife at a gun fight!

Pull all support for any of them voting to not convict, or face consequences from being boycotted, and shunned.

I’ve been boycotting any small businesses here in my town who supported trump as well.
No one should shop anywhere that supported trump!

I called Cornyn's office yesterday afternoon in North Texas. Useless to try Cruz.

Cornyn likes faxes! Send them! He shut down faxing as a business. He was installed by Phil Graham.

In our silence we will be complicit. They have to be held to account.

They all ran for cover that day, all of them!!!

They were protected and saved by the Capitol Police.

The GQP only cares about staying in power and money. We need to know who is funding the insurrectionists, we need to know the corporations and people's names and then hammer them for supporting traitors.

Follow the money, always.

Each senator solemnly swore an oath of office and an oath to act as impartial juror in this impeachment trial. Their disdain for this country will be on full display if they vote in favor of Trump and his base of thugs. They need to answer for this shamefulness wherever they go.

God never was guilty of anything, people have free will, sinning is the people’s fault.

God (trumq) cannot be guilty...he said common words couldn’t have incited...he wasn’t even there after the “Sermon on the Ellipse” he let the people make their own decisions...people have free will.

I don't understand why they are not showing the video where he and his family are watching the chaos on TV, drinking champagne, Jr's girlfriend dancing to the camera, and everyone having a jolly good time.

It will be the republicans defense of trump that HE did nothing wrong. Just used words COMMON in everyday language.

The PEOPLE there at the protest ARE THE GUILTY. I was THEIR choice to storm the Capitol. trump had NOTHING to do with it.

As far as the other videos there are more days of the trial to present more evidence. I withhold my opinion on them as far as evidence in this trial.

The suicides did appear directly linked to the insurrection.

The motivation for suicide is most likely something to do with their part in it or feelings about what happened.
