I was listening on the radio while the senate voted 57 to 43 to acquit Trump. That tally seems off because, of course, the 57 voted to convict, but fell short. Afterwards, McConnell spoke, excoriating Trump in the harshest words, making the prosecution's case for them, but adding that he voted against conviction because Trump's being out of office made the impeachment unconstitutional. It wasn't. The fact had been argued and voted on, but more importantly, how dare he say that? Let's ignore McConnell's blatant disregard of constitutional requirements during Obama's administration, HOW DARE HE say that THIS was unconstitutional? McConnell engineered the the timing. He said he'd never bring up a trial before January twentieth, thereby insuring that the impeachment was "unconstitutional".
The Democrats also failed to stand up to the reepub leader when it came to calling witnesses. Mitch told them that if they called witnesses, he'd block all of Biden's agenda. So Mitch Heinous Fucker McConnell got what he wanted. Now he'll go on and do everything he can to block Biden's agenda as he did Obama's. It is past time for the Democratic leadership to start playing hardball. They need to get rid of the filibuster and accomplish OUR fucking agenda.
If we don't fight bravely and ruthlessly for democracy in congress, we'll be doing it in the streets.
