The GOP Terrorist Organization wasn't going to ever convict their most successful terrorist.
AussieTimp
american politics is a fucking joke absolutely shameful that it has gotten to the point it has.
OmahaJim
They are no longer Representing the people of the USA. They are DICTATING! This is NOT a "Political Party" it's a CRIME SYNDICATE!!!
SwayzeS
And no mistaking that McConnell is responsible for letting trump get away with it, because he was too cowardly to vote his conscience.
secretoaster
He's saying what people want to hear but obviously doing what makes his boss happy. Action speaks more. He's a liar and haven't changed.
tanman729
Man i would NOT be absolutely thrilled if someone murdered him by drowning him in piss. See i said Not so im innocent
Sturmdodo
They voted to acquit themselves.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
I talk a lot about 'spineless Democrats' and such, but even at their dithering worst they truly got nothing on these GOP sacks of shit.
soon
McConnell is pathetic.
OmahaJim
Sedition, Treason, Oath-Breaking, Accessory to Mass Murder, Insider Trading these ALL DEMAND consequences of the most dire order!
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
Almost like he's a spineless rat-bastard flaccidly distancing himself verbally while refusing to actually DO anything except toe the line
slendfung
Motherfucker DREW THE LINE.
SithShodan
"Go ahead, tell them your name." "My name is Reek"
Icouri
They should have had a fake vote, soft announce his "acquittal", let the republicans backtrack, then do the real vote while they aren' there
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
Disgraceful dereliction of duty, which is why hes voting party before country, again.
UncleMeaty
It's not even party before country at this point. It's Trump before country.
KyleWStacey
Can they impeach senators that have been caught in their own lies now?
OmahaJim
It isn't a court when the criminal being tried is going to be adjudicated by the gddmned CRIME SYNDICATE that that fucking criminal built!
SpiderDetective
Translation: he's guilty, but I don't want to get voted out by my base in a few years and/or get shot by a Q anon cult member
OmahaJim
If the gddmned turtle can ADMIT he's guilty then he sure as hell can vote him IMPEACHED!
ezmicken
There's no question, none, that Mitch Mconnell is practically and morally responsible for the state of the union.
alex5775
I think they're trying to straddle a very fine line to keep the support of Republicans who support Trump and those appalled by Trump
dedpaen
It’s sad that the only ray of sunshine here is I will probably outlive The Turtle.
therealpopkiller
I wouldn’t take that bet. He’s 78. Henry Kissinger is 97. Dick Cheney is 80. Donald Rumsfeld is 88. Evil seemingly lives forever.
dedpaen
ARE YOU CALLING ME OLD!?! Well, guess I am. But I’m going to outlast that fucker, just watch!
NZSheeps
MrRandom314159
TheBlueMuppet
That would be purgery thpudnt it? Lied in his voting.
OmahaJim
Their Oaths don't mean SHIT! They SWORE to "Protect and Defend" the gddmned CONSTITUTION! THE GDDMNED CONSTITUTION! Do! Your! DAMNED! JOBS!
OmahaJim
The hypocrisy is not only tangible, it's knocking us unconscious. We cannot accept this reality. Things need to change... and fast!
TheMightyMoto
He is guilty which is why I voted not guilty.
BrigidtheMechLady
He claims he voted not guilty because the impeachment was unconstitutional. Slimy coward
TheMightyMoto
I would agree if the impeachment vote happened after Trump was out of office. Let this be a lesson to impeach and trail right away.
MadeYouLookAgain
Fuck this shit! I can’t wait for the gop to blow up harder. Those twats are a disgrace to America.
naphtalinmurray
Lol
HighSorcerer
"Oh, and Trump 2024."
TheMightyMoto
That's the thing, so many want Trump to go away, but they fear his base so much. Those who are thinking this is still the end of Trump 1/2
TheMightyMoto
are dumb as hell. 2/2
FromTheBeyond
If this doesn’t get a President impeached, what does? This now means the President can do whatever they want until he/she is voted out
TheYoungerLance
Lulz...This is becoming a Libertarian wet dream as it shows just why we don't need the office of "President".
DreamingOfDistantShores
Impeachment is completely defanged as a check/balance option. A 2/3 majority will never happen, at least in our lifetimes.
Cheomesh
Can't do anything while they're in office, can't do anything when they're out of office. Might as well just remove the whole thing, yea?
mmontour
What does? "Being a Democrat".
therealpopkiller
*the Republican president can do whatever they want. The first slip up by a Dem and they’re out bc liberals always eat our own
HypnoJack
If a Dem president had been responsible for Jan 6, you bet the Rs would have gone for impeachment after they left office....
INeverWaitForIt
Doubtful, because McConnell wouldn't have delayed proceedings until this person left office. Wouldn't have lasted a day.
PaintedSlate
They hold them responsible but are also prone to jumping the gun. The Rs just ask if it benefits Republican power.
ImHereToGetDownvotes
So for anyone who doesn't know, he was Senate Majority Leader when the impeachment happened. He purposely kept the Senate out of session 1/
ImHereToGetDownvotes
until Jan 19th knowing full well that doing so would mean Trump was out of office and give him and the other spineless Republicans an out 2/
ImHereToGetDownvotes
of "Well it says remove from office and he's already out so it's moot." He can then do what he did, spout his comments about how wrong 3/
ImHereToGetDownvotes
Trump was how he is responsible. In other words, he's playing both sides. Don't fall for it. Vote literally anything but Republican. 4/4
MrKnowItAll1903
Why the fuck didn't he say these thing BEFORE they voted?
dancerpitt
Politicians, I've learned recently, make statements to show they're for both sides of an issue. Smart?
LaBix
He claims he couldn't vote to impeach a private citizen.
GQPisadeathcult
Because he Mitch McConnell.
ultradongle
Something something cake, something something eating it too.
rowanmc
...because McConnell also had a disgraceful dereliction of duty?
Dopplersheep
Listen, he's playing both sides so that he always comes out on top.
HedonistBeard
Because people remember the soundbites. How he actually voted will matter less to his constituents than what he says in the news.
ICompletedEngineeringOnTime
Need I remind you how he voted despite of knowing this?
OmahaJim
To avoid ANY chance T's conviction can be laid at his doorstep and cost him votes. This slimy asshole has only one concern, his own ass. 1/2
OmahaJim
When it's "safe" for him to do so he WILL admit to T's crimes, especially when it could garner him votes/support from outside his party. 2/2
sbthree169000
Cause he is a weasel who plays both side of the fence, but ultimately is there is screw the poor and pad the pockets of the rich
IowaOma
He re-iterated the "unconstitutional" line. And patted gqp senators on the back for having done their duty.
DreamingOfDistantShores
Because if Trump is guilty due to saying these things, so is a good chunk of the Republican leadership in congress and the precedent
DreamingOfDistantShores
terrified them. Hard to imagine a less-impartial jury than one that is afraid they'll go down with the main guy if he's found guilty.
ispentwaytoolongthinkingaboutthis
Mitch wants someone else to get trump so mitch can keep his trump voters
Omnipotence0
Well he just won another 6 year bid like, does he even have to run again or wont he die
Alvatore
People like Mitch don't ever actually die. Not when they've made a deal with Satan like Mitch has.
KubaQ
Still surprised ?
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Mitch wants there to be no legal accountability when Hawley or some other white supremacist fascist runs next time.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
This. They're setting precedent to allow more GOP to do whatever criminal shit they want should they attain control again.
Velonici
He did, but still voted to acquit. The GOP is a bunch of lying hypocrites.
ColClone54
Because 99.99% of the Republican party should not be portrayed as a bull elephant but like a jellyfish - no spine, no brain, all wet, & a
ColClone54
total pain.
Slepnair
They claim the voted not guilty as it was unconstitutional to do this after he's out of office... After delaying it til he was out of office
KismetCrew
And after the vote was taken declaring it legal. The proper route would have been an objection taken to the courts. Not legislative's job.
Sonicschilidogs
Death threats by MAGATs coupled with being a fucking coward
Alvatore
And he just showed them that death threats are what he listens to. So much for "won't be bullied"; he just wasn't bullied hard enough before
