Yes you want things to go back to the downward spiral our country had been in for several decades. Back to limited opportunities for minorities and people living in poverty areas to do anything but live off the demoralizing and barely livable government programs and failing public schools. Back to the elite being above the law and involving in blatant corruption. Back to dismantling our military. Back to reductions on border security. Back to apologizing to the world for being a great country who has helped more people around the world than any other country. Etc. Etc. Etc. Just so your leaders are smooth talkers, nothing else matters.

Acquittal is forever. You say the trial was mock? Why because it did not violate the constitution to allow house investigation to be done by the Senate which is against our constitution. The House has sole power of impeachment. Sole power to investigate and hold impeachment hearings. The Senate has sole power to try impeachment. The Senate does not have the power to investigate impeachment or write articles of impeachment. Only the House does. The Senate must try the impeachment case presented in the articles of impeachment the House presented.

Some thought that since the House hearings had excluded Republican participation in calling witnesses or questioning witnesses the democrats called, and in disallowing due process for the accused; AND since no impeachable offence was listed in the articles of impeachment presented by the House; that the Senate might decide to either dismiss the case or violate the letter of the constitution and allow the Republicans to call witnesses. This would have been a constitutional violation. But for the House Democrats, who already had the time and power to call witnesses BEFORE they closed their case, wrote their articles, and v**ed on them to cry foul when the Senate refused to violate our constitution and do the House Democrats job of investigation for them by calling more witnesses the Democrats had changed their minds about not needing; is the height of hypocrisy.

But I do agree that the Senate was unfair. They were unfair to try an impeachment which listed no impeachable offenses in the articles of impeachment.

Impeachable offenses are limited to
TREASON
BRIBERY
HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS

Yet no crime was even listed.

Coming again? If the last 2 e******ns (2016 and the midterms) were an example of the big blue wave; the by all means bring it on again.

And please explain how you figure Trump is a f**e president?

When have facts ever mattered to Demobat! This is a about maladjusted males who want an UNFAIR advantage. Anybody doing this should have a forced castration and removal of penis, some stupid males would do this but most would decide they want to keep marbles.

To Democrats; facts can be a nuisance.

The two charges listed as crimes were "coercion of a foreign government to interfere in our e******ns" and "obstruction of justice." Everyone with an ounce of sense knows that the republican led Senate simply flat out refused to do their jobs and basically pizzed on their oaths and the Constitution. So, don't be surprised come November when democrats not only keep the House, but reclaim the Senate and presidency as well. Stay tuned!

Judas;
Are you unaware that the masks are to be; and should be worn by those who are already infected??????

If you are infected, wear the mask.
And get thee to a nunnery.

The two offenses listed were obstruction of Congress, which if you look into how they came to it, was that Trump brought the question of executive privilege to refuse to let some of his cabinet answer to a congressional hearing; and abuse of power. This latter used to be called maladministration and was debated at the time the constitution was written. They specifically excluded it as an impeachable offence.

So the latter was specifically excluded as impeachable and the former is outlined in our constitution as one of 2 ways to deal with a conflict of powers between the executive and legislative branches.
