Really, senators? Not important enough to spend any time on? No point in impeaching the ex-president since he’s not president anymore? All just political theater, you say?
A horde of his followers attacked your own chambers and offices, looking to take prisoners and murder a few of your Democratic colleagues. They were going to hang Mike Pence if they could find him. And why? Because of the lies President Trump told them over and over again, the lies that you, our elected lawmakers, repeated and supported. Hundreds of those gullible true believers will be doing time in prison for believing you, some of them for 20 years. It’s obvious why you don’t want this impeachment trial. If justice were to prevail, you’d be in a cell too.
UPDATE: Well, it’s 2/14/21, Trump’s second impeachment trial is over, and as expected, the feckless Republicans voted to save their own asses. By acquitting Trump, they have set the precedent that it’s okay to whip up a mob and send it to kill your political opponents and face no consequences, so we’ve added that to our political system. Thanks a lot, Republicans. We’ll probably be seeing a lot of that in the future, the way things are going…
