I’m not taking any position on the wisdom of this option but would just note that It wouldn’t contravene the Constitution, which permits removal without the added sanction of disqualification.

Unless the 4 wavering GOPs join all 47 Dems in voting for censure, with McConnell giving them license to do so, Manchin’s censure move could serve only to give him and Jones cover to acquit, yielding a 55-45 acquittal margin and no majority to censure, the worst possible outcome.

So it begins. What else did you expect? And an acquitted Trump will be an even more vindictive Trump. Here it comes!

Absurd. Like the rest of Purpura’s arguments. And Sekulow’s. And Cipollone’s. And that other guy’s. twitter.com/heidinbc/statu…

“Make no mistake: The Senate may acquit Mr. Trump, but it will not, it cannot, exonerate him. Mr. Trump is the most corrupt president in modern times, a reality Americans will continue to be reminded of ...”

.@EJDionne is right: The Senate’s 51-49 “see no evil” vote is all about the GOP Cult of Trump, not about permanent presidential supremacy. No Democratic president could get away with lawlessness like Trump’s. Nor would one want to. Total asymmetry.

It’s not just “poisoned.” It’s poison — capable of killing the democratic body politic and replacing it with an ugly authoritarianism. Here’s why:

“No American president before Trump would have dared to collaborate openly with foreign countries for partisan advantage. Trump has done so repeatedly, starting in the summer of 2016 with Russia and then with China, Ukraine and perhaps unknown others.”

Paul Stookey (from Peter Paul and Mary) emailed a friend of mine months ago his amazing version of America the Beautiful (written 1895) with two inspiring new verses he wrote in September 2015 so relevant today youtu.be/8V4w6EpSKo8

DO NOT SUCCUMB TO TRIUMPHANT TRUMP SYNDROME!
Defeatism can be self-fulfilling.
We have to get off our asses and work tirelessly to wipe him and his enablers off the electoral map this November‼️

Today’s date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads the same, forward and backward), 02/02/2020 — the only one of its kind this century: The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 11/11/1111, 909 years ago. We’ll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121.

.@Lawrence O’Donnell notes the 49 Senators who lost the vote on impeachment witnesses represent 19 million more people than the 51 Senators who won. And neocon @BillKristol — of all people — says “for the time being ... We are all Democrats now.” This time the GOP went too far!

.@AlanDersh’s clarification” = BS. Saying “a president ... seeking re-election ...is not above the law. He cannot commit crimes. He cannot commit impeachable conduct” begs the question: what conduct apart from “crimes”
is impeachable if not what Trump did?
