Here comes the voter suppression. Republicans aren’t going to let blacks ruin their hold on power
Great postIt's pretty stupid to see the news media pretend like anything Trump's defense team says will actually make a difference. They literally could flip the entire Senate off and said that Trump wanted them all massacred and 45 Republicans would still vote to get him off because they don't want to anger their ****** voters and be primaried. Pretty sad.
I'm also finding it a self fulfilling prophecy:
1. Republican officials fail to stand up to Trump out of fear of the mob.
2. As a result, Trump and his followers become more emboldened and more misinformed.
3. Republican officials fail to stand up to Trump out of fear of the mob.
Republicans aren't ever going to break this cycle until they stand up to Trump and set their voters straight. They'll stay enslaved to Trump as long as they fail to fight back.
Which is why the rest of us sane and responsible Americans need to keep the mob and their politicians the hell away from government.

I kind of understand why DC isn't a state - they wanted it to be almost neutral territory, and there are concerns that a governor could exert their power to shut down the federal government, quite literally.Puerto Rico has more population than 20 states.* It deserves to be a state in its own right. I'm with you on DC though--make it part of Maryland, which donated the land for DC in the first place.

Imagine if voting had been done in secret ballot...Well, voting is done. It was 57-43 which was more than I projected at 54-46. I missed on Collins, Burr and Cassidy.
It has less population than North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska (although more than Vermont and Wyoming). And is only 68 square miles which is 1/22 of the smallest state, Rhode Island. It doesn't need to be a state.I kind of understand why DC isn't a state - they wanted it to be almost neutral territory, and there are concerns that a governor could exert their power to shut down the federal government, quite literally.
OK, fine, but give the residents the same representation as a state - 2 Senators, and X Representatives depending on population.
McConnell would have made up some other reason if Trump were still in office. The real reason is that Trump is republican and still with a large base, not that Trump is out of office.McConnell is saying that his vote is because trump is out of office. Interesting that if he were in office he would have been convicted. It is not guilty on a technicality.
I wonder how McConnell will feel about that when Trump runs in 2024.McConnell is saying that his vote is because trump is out of office. Interesting that if he were in office he would have been convicted. It is not guilty on a technicality.
