What a stain on his legacy: First President to be impeached twice. First President to have his Twitter & FB accounts closed. Yet the voters drunk from the Kool-aid will continue saying Trump2024. How do you spell fools

It's pretty clear most Republicans will vote for acquittal but the majority will vote guilty. The thing is other than getting it on the Congressional Record, the punishments are not much more than a slap on the wrist. After the Senate trial is over, the criminal investigations will begin those phone calls he made to Georgia could possibly give him a number and it won't be 45.

I also think Putin has something on Donny, How else do you explain Trump literally washing the guys feet? I think if Reagan was alive & of sound mind, even he who they worshipped, would have a hard time trying to tell the base to do the right thing. I can just hear faintly in the background: Where is Reagan, we gotta hang Reagan. As for pro life,that's a joke. These guys are pro birth- cutting food stamps for families, putting children in cages. Actions speak louder than words- they wolves... [ More ]

It's ironic that Trump used social media to create the problem, but can't use it to lie about what really happened. He successfully used it to convince many of his supporters to break the law. From what we're hearing from many of Trump's supporters in the Senate, it's almost like he has something on them like a Mafia Don. Did he make Cruz, Hawley, and other Republicans "offers they can't refuse"? A good example is what Mike Lee did at the end of testimony yesterday. He previousl... [ More ]

Trump did the unthinkable: Consider that Jim Jones started his cult following while in his 20's, Trump started his political cult following in his 70's. It's been said that it takes years, if not decades to establish oneself as a cult leader, but Trump through his television show and foray into politics bypassed that long journey. As much as his followers may admire him, him not returning to run for high office is a plus for America. Let the Kool- Aid dry up for good.... [ More ]

Regardless how the Republican Senators vote, prosecutors with criminal charges along with lawyers with civil lawsuits are forming long lines outside Mar-a-Lego.

You don't give an alcoholic a drink, nor do you give a drunk driver the keys to the car. You know why, no need to ask.

And maybe that's what Attorney David Schoen meant when he said Trump wasn't given enough time to mount a defense and that was after saying the Senate acted too slowly. Eric told his Dad to use Rudy, but NOooooooo .

But the Republican Senators will make sure Trump is not convicted and pretend like the attack on the Capital Building never happened. But not all because apparently six believe the trial is within the Constitution. It's easy to see why Senator Romney voted for it.

We talked about ordinary people getting banned from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter for sharing things they probably never watched or read, but what about someone that is compelled to say something anything regardless if it's misleading, inaccurate, or a flat out lie. Punishment comes in different forms and at the end of the day it might not matter what the Republican Senators do if Trump is banned from most social and news media.
