How do any of the 45 senators who are on record as saying the trial is unconstitutional then vote to convict? They contradict themselves if they do. It's not a matter of having their mind changed by some kind of evidence. They said it was unconstitutional to try a president after he left office. It ain't gonna happen.i agree Boardman that more likely than not Trump will be aquitted. but round 2 is less certain than round 1 was at this same stage. trump is sort of in a perfect storm-bad lawyering, outstanding job by the prosecutors, and ambivalence of party leadership seeing a chance to get off the runaway trump train.
And I'll tell you what. When the acquittal happens they will not stop. Maybe new evidence is manufactured and they try to impeach again or they will try some kind of censure resolution. What a big fucking waste of time by a bunch of losers. They've tried unsuccessfully for going on 5 years now to ruin this guy and they aren't going to let it go anytime soon. Meanwhile that idiot Biden is wrecking our economy and doing it under the cover of this craziness.
How do you reconcile any of the inflammatory statements made by the likes of so many Democrats calling for fighting and hatred and not stopping against anything Trump said?
Now you have that loser bitch Elizabeth Warren saying that anyone who stands with Trump "must be stopped". What the fuck does that mean? I can easily interpret that as either a call to persecute or a call to violence. Well, all I can say is "come stop me"! Originally Posted by boardman

whatever happens, trump is going to be beset by significant civil and criminal litigation for maybe years to come. he's kind of his own worst enemy imo. his own tweets on jan 6 form some of the most damning evidence against him in this trial.
