American politics are such a joke. This is why people lose faith in the system and become cynics.

Sick... Senate just rubber-stamped political violence. That is ******* wild. 
This is 1930s Germany all over again. Dumbasses just think Trump will go away now?

If you really want to hold the rich, old, racist perverts, who run America, to account, form a Union, do general strikes, collapse the system, hold revolutionary tribunals.

I clearly following everything religiously and didn’t pay a second to it. Republicans weren’t convicting him regardless.

But we know how far they’ll go at this point, no? We had a President incite an insurrection attempt, put his own VP’s life at risk, and they still aren’t willing to do anything about it. The people who want to vote for this weren’t going to be swayed by witnesses. we’re beyond that point, IMO.

I don't mean to be an *** hole about this,
but I'm truly baffled by the shock and anger directed towards democrats.
the value of a long drawn out impeachment is limited.
and leads to the exact same result as a short one.
and theres always the risk republicans use it as a way to delay Joe Biden's agenda.
you can quibble wiht the tactics but it seems to me reasonable decision to get this over with.,

Donald Trump also just lost the 2020 election and the Republicans lost control of the Senate. This is after all of their attempts to suppress votes and cheat their way to a win.

Dems love shooting at ourselves instead of aiming our ire at the other side. Merrick Garland is getting held up for this impeachment stuff. The objectives of tying Republicans to Trump was achieved and getting these deplorables on the record was achieved. Stringing this along for more time wastes time that we don't have and empowers Republicans.

He wrote that tweet with Bass in his voice while his mom's told him to keep it down while she's sleeping.

Most voted to convict.
While standards vary, I believe the vast majority (if not all) of courts require unanimous votes for conviction on criminal charges. So, one juror could be the difference.
The standard was lower for the impeachment trial. And he was acquitted.

No Standard is too low for you to not support Republican Pedos

We were talking about required votes to convict.
I'm pretty sure Rusty just asked whether most Senators voted to convict.

I answered. Most Senators voted to convict.
I also explained that in most (if not all) criminal cases, a unanimous vote from the jury is needed for criminal convictions.
Could you imagine if “most” was all that was required for a criminal conviction?

Comparison to criminal court doesn't work because the Senate doesn't need a unanimous vote to convict
You need 2/3rd
So ******* spare us

Could you imagine if "months ago" was all it took to wash the stink of Trump off you?

You’re right. You also need more than just “most.”
You brought up the different standards.
By the standards in place in the Senate, Trump has been acquitted again.

Did I the standards of the Senate? I asked you a straight forward question about the vote. That is it
BTW
Would you have voted to convict?
