Skip this sham of a trial, and just have Republican senators make the following public statement to the American people:
We know that Donald Trump is a corrupt madman, who is guilty of the charges against him but we dont give a shit, and were going to acquit him anyway.
Thats what this is all coming down to anyway so why bother with this charade?
The country already knows youre a traitor, so why pretend otherwise? Why continue this ridiculous pretence that you and your party are willing to uphold your oaths of office, when all of you have amply demonstrated that youve abandoned any principles you once allegedly had?
Making the above statement wouldnt come as a shock to anyone. Everyone knows the GOP is now a collection of shameless, self-serving sycophants who will throw our very democracy under the bus without a second thought. We also know that many of you are up to your eyeballs in the same corruption that that has led to your pResidents impeachment in the first place.
So just DO IT, Moscow Mitch. Just come out and say it, straight and simple:
We know that Donald Trump is a corrupt madman, who is guilty of the charges against him but we dont give a shit, and were going to acquit him anyway.
In future, you can at least refer back to that statement as that one memorable time you were completely honest.

(382 posts)The more this trial get gets dragged out, the more airtime the Dems get to state their case in a very clever and indirect way. And right now the Dems are killing it!
I say, "Keep dreaming up more amendments, Chuck!" Trump's "Dream Team" is no match for Adam Schiff!
