Remember, we always knew it would go this way

There have been no surprises. No matter how utterly disappointing it is, it *was* a foregone conclusion, but nonetheless, it was the correct move to go forward with this impeachment.

We must now just wait for the wheels of justice to slowly grind forth.

This issue doesn't disappear after today. Hundreds of criminal trials will be progressing against Trump's foot soldiers, and we will be hearing over and over again from those how much culpability Trump had, and, fingers crossed, our new AG will see to it that citizen Trump stands trial.

1. Thank you!

Some folks seem to forget that a conviction was never a possibility - and seem to think that conviction was almost in the bag until the Democrats "caved" this morning ...

2. Right.

3. Exactly, we are letting the sociopathic GOP push our buttons.

I am not going to fall for it.

4. You're right. We knew Republicans would never convict, but if

the House had to impeach in order to uphold their oath of office.

5. Yea damnit, I know. But to have done nothing is precedent setting

And in a way accepting the insurrection as normal. It is sad reminder that we have a broken society where team wins take priority over the truth and justice of our civilization.

6. The defense calls Donald Trump

Everyone arrested for the coup attempt should subpoena his backside. That should keep him off the golf course and just make him grumpy.

7. Let's see how many GOPers . . .

convict.

shithole is screwed, republicans will absolutely put lipstick on it, but he is done.

8. A bit like being an Arkansas State fan cheering their team to beat the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Your home team against the strongest in the country and the chances are slim but you still have hope, make the 600 mile trip, the $400 in ticket prices, knowing it is a long way home after a loss but we do it because we still have hope that the right thing will happen, We still have hope in good things, and that life is fair.
We didn’t win, but I have a sense of pride that we tried and our efforts were honorable.
