Where are our Republican friends to defend their wonderful ally Prince MbS? You know, the guy you fawned over and had Donald's son-in-law bend over backwards for to exonerate from the obvious murder of a journalist? The guy who invaded Yemen and caused untold suffering to millions of poor people? The guy whose country the vast majority of 9-11 plane hijackers were from? 

What gives? You were all for this guy, why aren't you defending his "honor" or Trump's personal diplomatic triumphs with the Saudis and Yemen?

Just the last three letters.

So the Leader demands only 100% fealty, and even the slightest derivation from the norm is not tolerated. Even by someone who literally ensured that both of Trump's impeachments resulted in acquittal by the Senate. 

Hmmmm...where in the world do we see this kind of behaviour? Not in democracies that I'm aware of.

A rare good day for justice, shame on the Democrats for wasting so much time on a sham trial. Shameful.

Could you explain for us why Mitch McConnell said that Trump was responsible for it? Is he a Democrat?

No, it's a traitor hunt, and 45 is the traitor.  About that there is no doubt.

 

-45 DELIBERATELY changed the date for his terrorist base to meet to 6 Jan, the day of the vote certification in Congress

-45 maintained the lie of 'fraud' even from before the election and all the way until legitimate and fairly elected President Biden took office

-45 speech was absolutely intended to send the terrorist mob to the Capitol

-45 knew the mob was carrying weapons like baseball bats...45 isn't blind, he saw what they had

-45, seeing how riled and armed his mob was, knew full well they would be violent

-45 used 'fight' 377 times in his speech, according to the House Managers

-45 refused to call off the mob even after they broke into the Capitol...it was LIVE on TV

-45 Tweeted disparaging comments about Pence knowing Pence was under threat (according to Sen tuberville and his call to 45)

-45 refused House Minority Leader McCarthy's plea for help, both calling off the mob and calling out the National Guard, even TWO HOURS into the terrorist attack

 

Those are the FACTS.

 

45 is a traitor to the US.

Excellent summary - just to add to your point that not only was it live on TV, the President and his family were shown watching it and cheering it on.

Here is why it won't lead to conviction: Forty five Senators have already declared it unconstitutional which means they will not vote to convict, thus preventing the Democrats from getting the 2/3 majority they need. This impeachment trial is like the last one: a waste of time.

Except that the vote to decide whether it was unconstitutional has been tallied and it was found "constitutional" by a majority vote. 

As to the remaining issues to be decided at the trial, once the Senate has declared the trial "constitutional", and you as a Senator decide "I'm not voting on this because it's unconstitutional", then you're basically saying you don't accept the Constitution. Because the Constitution doesn't provide for individual Senators to decide whether something is constitutional or not, Congress does. Congress is a collective body comprising the House and the Senate. The House voted that it was both constitutional and grounds for impeachment. The Senate has already confirmed that it is constitutional since it has already voted. So, to reiterate, the answer is "yes, it is constitutional".

Sorry for the repetition, but it seems those on the Trump side need things repeated and clarified dozens of times before the light enters. The constitutional question has been answered, the trial now moves to Trump's conduct and whether or not he was inciting an insurrection. We already know that the people who were undertaking the insurrection have stated multiple times on video during their rampage at the Capitol that they were specifically answering the President's call. So who to believe?

If they're not then they soon will be plus a lot more besides.

 

Two can play at this game.

 

Target all major imports from the EU to the UK and ramp up the paperwork requirements and certification.

 

Can you still buy French cheeses in the UK?

 

Well, that'll teach 'em! Up the French! 

You really don't understand, do you? Let's add up the UK cheese market and the EU cheese market and determine who will win this little spat, shall we?

Unfortunately, Democrats won what they were trying to win. It was a horrible slugfest as predicted from the very beginning, and they narrowly squeaked out their goal. Right or wrong, they got it. 

 

Only thing left to do is allow them to govern, impeach, go after political rivals, and do what they always do, and in a few years there will be another republican government. 

 

I'm just glad to see that some of our Trumpeters have worked their way through to the last of the seven stages of grief! Congratulations.

endangered species in the world soon:  white straight male with own thinking mind

I've noticed that those who toss about the "snowflake"s like a blizzard tend to be the actual crystallized water droplets. 

Aw, your whitewashed world has been deprived of even more dominance by straight white male characters! How difficult for you to be able to find someone who represents you on the screen, in politics, in business...have some chamomile tea, poppet.

The heroic achievements do not stop with this Israel/Morocco deal. Trump also has 2 new deals to announce soon. Honestly, this is stunning. Why did it take a non globalist career politician to sort out the Israel mess?

 

 

"The diplomatic source identified Oman and Indonesia as two countries with which talks have advanced and with whom normalization could be announced before US President Donald Trump leaves office on January 20."

Incredible. Thank you Sir.

Well, that's Israel sorted then! Once the Omani and Indonesian dominoes fall, it's going to be all love and flowers between Israel and the ones who are actually engaged in conflict with them! Oh, and <deleted> to whomever was on the receiving end of this little deal and whatever fallout occurs from that because, you know, Trump and his companies have no interest in a globalist agenda as you know...

You're not actually this naive, you're just pretending, I understand. It's going to be a difficult time for you, and you need to cling to something. Isn't it time you started to pretend to care about the deficit and overreach of presidential power?

Guy is being totally led by Obama team it seems.

 

You are aware that Biden was ALSO a part of the leadership of the Obama team, right? And that Team, whether you liked it or not, successfully administrated the USA for 8 years without, it seems, hardly anyone going to jail or being convicted of criminal charges. So yes, he's choosing people from his own team from the time when he was the #2 guy at the White House. Should hardly be a surprise.

By the way, as a progressive, I'm by no means pleased either with Biden or his appointments. But compared to the alternative, what choice does the USA have? Gotta give the Republicans credit, they managed to shift the entire USA political spectrum so far to the Right since Reagan that even a moderate Democrat like Biden is actually a solidly Right-Wing politician in practically every other comparable first world democracy. Listening to the "radical Marxists" nonsense while living and actually working in a Marxist country has been giving me a daily dose of cognitive dissonance.
