Cowards on Display

Very true.   And even in those rare cases where there was property damage, according to police, some of it may well have been from the actions of right wing activists mingling in with the BLM protestors in order to orchestrate fingert pointing at BLM

I believe the only reason (someone can clarify if it's otherwise) is that Leahy is the oldest member of Congress and therefore is required to preside over the impeachment proceedings.  

They may be cowards but Republicans have no choice but to stay quiet and stick with Trump, even if they know he's at least partly to blame for what took place.  Their constituency will turn on them and so they're stuck between a rock and a hard place.  Trump stated a specific date, alleged there was theft and stated that they need to do something to take the country back.  Yes, all the statements Trump made were done loosely but the intent was clear.  Do something about the election or this country will be lost.  Did he organize all the elements?  No.  Did he speak to any of the leaders?  No.  Did he know that his speech would rile people up to commit violent acts on his behalf?  Yes.  I don't think Trump is going to make it to 2024 anyway so the whole thing about Trump running for office again is moot.  However, based on principle, the Senate should really vote to convict him, even if Republicans are going to protect themselves.  Down the road, if Trump isn't around, perhaps those pro-Trump votes won't look so great in a contested Senate race.  I suppose we'll see.

Good luck and all the best!

There names beside their leader McConnell is not worth typing.

Nancy Pelosi arguement against Mitch McConnell possibly is the first thing I have ever agreed with the Madame speaker in a very long time.

@sicknesscity

 Then the job isn’t worth having ! Are they that hard up to get a real job ? Most of them a lawyer’s....I’d rather chase ambulances than kiss Trump dirty reared!

Trump still lost despite escaping conviction.  He lost the presidency.  He may face civil lawsuits, state indictments and criminal prosecutions.   His party is split against him.   Clear majority 57-43 vote for conviction is largest bipartisan vote of any impeachment trial.    Many senators who vote to acquit Trump went on record to condemn him.  McConnell admits Trump is guilty.   Polls show most people believes Trump deserves to be convicted.  He is disqualified from ever holding office in the eyes of a majority of Americans.  He can't be the future of republican party.  History is likely to remember impeachment managers version of events.

GOP attacks 2 Biden nominees of color
for top spots at DOJ

The GOP Senators who voted for Merrick Garland today must be pretty comfortable they have nothing to worry about regarding his future investigations.

But the other 20....hahahahahaha

bigotry among the gop is alive and well even without margarie taylor greene

Yes.  That's the same group who DENIED him his chance to be on SCOTUS with lifetime tenure.

12 Cowards have no honor

Twelve Republican members of the House voted  against  a resolution on Wednesday
to honor police for their actions during the deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6.

The gold medal is Congress' "highest expression of national appreciation for
distinguished achievements and contributions" and the House approved the
proposal to award it to police by 413 votes to 12.

Here are those infamous  12 "no" votes - ALL REPUBLICANS:

Louie Gohmert, Michael Cloud and Lance Gooden of Texas;
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Andrew Clyde of Georgia;
Matt Gaetz and Greg Steube of Florida;
Andy Biggs of Arizona;
Thomas Massie of Kentucky;
Andy Harris of Maryland;
Bob Good of Virginia
John Rose of Tennessee
