24. The GOP is now officially a Trump Cult

Wed Jan 22, 2020, 02:45 PM

Jan 2020

Watching this trial I have mixed feelings. Definitely feeling proud of Democrats for defending the constitution and having the courage to hold this lawless, corrupt and dangerous President accountable.

Feeling depressed that McConnell and the other Trumpublicans will most likely dismiss all this evidence of wrongdoing and vote to acquit their Mad King as early as next week.

If we don't vote Trump and his sycophants out of office in November who knows where this country is headed. 5 more years of this circus will make our once great Democracy unrecognizable.
