1. He needs to

change his party back to Democrats because they will take a lot of air out of these cowards.I wish all seven can do this and flip on them who voted to let the criminal off the hook.

[Old Terp]

20. He needs to come on back.

We have people with whom he would be comfortable and lots of moderates. We have lots of people who do wonderful Cajun and Creole. I can take him out for some crabs and oysters. He could be very happy on our side.

2. Credit where it is due.

Thank you, Senator Cassidy.

3. I appreciate the stand he took. Gutsy.

[peggysue2]

4. And for his effort and conscience-driven vote to convict . . .

The Louisiana State Republican Party is voting to censure the man.

No good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes.

[SunSeeker]

5. They just voted unanimously to censure him. nt

[peggysue2]

9. Unreal but not unexpected

These state-level pols are even more crazed than their national counterparts. I'm sure Cassidy was warned of this end result.

He did good today.

Unanimous vote, too. These politicians are as invested in the Cult of Trump as their QAnon constituents.

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

11. Can you imagine being so in lust with a well-known conman and failed president?

These people are intellectually absent moral mosquitos.

[SergeStorms]

13. I think that's the worst part of all this.

A Senator who sat through every bit of the evidence is being censured by a bunch of republican shitheads in Louisiana, who, in all likelihood, watched little or none of it on televisions. It's Trump's party now. Good luck with it, because the vast majority of Americans have had enough of his shit and he'll never be elected again, for anything. And we're coming for every one of those chicken-shit Trumpublican's congressional jobs. Every. Fucking. One. 😡

[Danascot]

21. It's a badge of honor

The GQP scum clearly saying he's not one of us.

6. Everybody got something today

and justice will grind on with indictments on the insurrectionists, and even perhaps their leader, who may face a lot of litigation in several areas. They are pricking the boil slowly to minimize fallout, in my opinion.

[Midnight Writer]

7. Thank you, Senator Cassidy.

Thank you, more so, to the Democrats who identified and stood up to the traitorous psychopath early on.

[nuxvomica]

8. Note that he defeated Mary Landrieu for his Senate seat

So when she marks the occasion to praise him, it's to show that all of this transcends politics.

[dianaredwing]

10. Yes

I sent him a thank you the first time he showed his stuff. It won't be easy for him, but at least he should be able to sleep which is more than the rest of those repugs should be able to do. May they all OD on their sleeping pills. As a long time resident of LA, I understand that we are a little more independent than some.

12. For all those that voted for Trump because "He tells it like it is" please take note.

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. Most Republlicans do not vote "guilty" or "innocent" based on guilt or innocence.

[Cha]

15. Rt TY

[dalton99a]

16. Each and every R who voted to impeach/convict deserves credit for what they did.

It is not easy when your party is a murderous cult

[mollie8]

19. agree

I sent all the senators voting to convict a thank you note. And sent my "senator" Tom Tillis a note saying he needs to resign.

[roamer65]

17. A profile in courage.

It took courage to make that vote.

[MustLoveBeagles]

18. Thank you Senator Cassidy

For putting your country and the truth over party. This took a lot of courage knowing the fallout you'd face.

[Blue Owl]

22. Everyone knows it

Only the dishonest deny it
