You might as well be boasting about someone being charged after they have been found not guilty. Pelosi sounds childish when she says that Trump will be "impeached forever". It's absurd. And especially so in this particular case considering just who it is that has been responsible for instigating this impeachment: a group politicians who have not stopped accusing Trump of everything bar the kidnapping of Shergar since he took office three years ago. Many of whom spoke publicly of how their goal was to impeach him. The left along with their propaganda wing (the msm) set their stall out within days of his inauguration: There was nothing genuine about this attempt to remove Trump from office. It was bogus from the get-go and engaged in purely for political purposes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWSiX0jS1uA
February 12, Clinton was acquitted on both counts as neither received the necessary two-thirds majority vote of the senators present for conviction and removal from office
Johnson became the first American president to be impeached on March 2–3, 1868, when the House formally adopted the articles of impeachment and forwarded them to the United States Senate for adjudication. The trial in the Senate began three days later, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase presiding. On May 16, the Senate did not convict Johnson on one of the articles, with the 35–19 vote in favor of conviction falling short of the necessary two-thirds majority by a single vote. A 10-day recess was called before attempting to convict him on additional articles. The delay did not change the outcome, however, as on May 26, the Senate did not convict the president on two articles, both by the same margin, after which the trial was adjourned

Romney said he expects “extraordinary consequences” from his vote. But those consequences won’t really affect Romney. Romney is US Senator for another four years and is rich enough not to have anything to worry about after that. It’s the vulnerable Senate republicans up for reelection this November who are getting hung out to dry with Romney’s vote. Romney played right into Chuck Schumer’s hands. Schumer is going to play it as Romney’s vote to convict is the reason all Republican senators are nothing more than Trump’s handmaidens. “I trust that we have all followed the dictates of our conscience” is going to appear in every one of the democrat ads running for the Senate. Looks like Romney will be eating his lunches alone for now on.

It could aslo give them a upper hand in some matters come election to counter the damage Romney has done. Concocting phony whistleblower complaints is the democrats new weapon of choice. But republicans need to understand they HAVE to fight just like democrats do. The Senate should immediately launch into investigations to get to the bottom of the democrat's impeachment hoax... And ultimately pin the disgrace on the democrat party that dragged our nation through three years of misery because of their dirty deeds. The Senate must immediately announce they are investigating Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Burisma’s involvement in the quid pro quo. Also, Adam Schiff for engineering the whistleblower complaint, Eric Ciaramella for working with people on Schiff's staff that wanted to take Trump down and who was aware of the Bidens dealings in Ukraine in 2016 and became a key part in the Democrats playbook to protect the Bidens, and the intelligence community inspector general Michael Atkinson who for some unknown reason found the whistleblower's second hand information complaint credible and sent it to Congress. If the GOP decides to acquit and move on they will lose the Senate and have no hopes of gaining back the House. Trump taught them how to fight... They need to have learned!

As I have not really heard many senators defend his actual actions, in fact a few have come out and said it was wrong (in otherwords he abused his power) but they didnt have the courage to vote that way as their own political careers mean more to them than the rule of law in their country ask a big Orange guy once said SAD

Outlaw Pete wrote: » At no stage did I say or suggest that Trump was not really impeached. What a bizarre reply. Reread my post. I said that someone who is charged is not automatically guilty of doing something wrong and so it's absurd to say either that 1) they are 'impeached forever' or 2) that they must have done something wrong to have gotten themselves impeached, which was the comment made. See, what you don't get is that the attitude coming off your post is the attitude that is coming of the democratic party right now and you (and the left at large) seem oblivious to it. There's this childish 'We impeached you, nah nah nah neh neh' subtext to it all and it's not a good look. Pelosi ripping up the SOTU just underscored it, worldwide. Over the last couple of days I have had people I know who have no interest in US politics ask me things such as did I see 'that nut rip up the papers behind Trump'. So no, it's not this stain on his tenure just because the democrats have done this and attempted to remove a president from office just because they had the numbers in congress to do it.

Romney is the first Senator to vote against a party leader in an impeachment trial. So partisan impeachment goes out the window. It was a partisan acquittal of course.

One bonus is PPower will likely pay out early^ for publicity, this week would be nice (but more likely Oct). It's clear now the whole impeachment plan (which is over now, btw), has done nothing but only assist the Donald further, well done everyone.

Of course Trumps odds are going to be short, he is going to be one of the horses in a two horse race, while the other horse has not been declared. Its like Real Madrid being in the final of the Champions league already while the other side of the draw hasnt even played their quarter and semi finals.
