I wonder if any harm or death happened to any members of Congress, particularly a Republican, if this vote would have gone differently.

Probably depends on which republican. 

[dozer 1,647]

In the face of overwhelming evidence, Hearing these cowards vote not guilty is disgusting.

[Yankee23Fan 9,391]

It really is just amazing how many people in this country live in fear and how many leaders in the country are cowards.

My parents generation and mine really screwed up. 

[gianmarco 28,998]

Might as well get rid of impeachment. There's clearly no place for it.

Can we just lock this thread and move on now?

Is it really a loss though? I mean, we knew the cowardly Republican Senate would protect Trump, and we all know that Trump did in fact incite the insurrection. 
 

I think it’s just more degradation of the GOP, which is good for everyone.

The point is that Trump was happy about the insurrection that he incited. There is no doubt about that. To deny it is to deny reality.

The US Senate did not see it that way.   Acquitted

McConnel saying Trump "practically and morally responsible" for Jan 6 before presumably getting into the mental gymnastics of why he didn't vote to convict.

The guy put off the trial so he could use a bogus excuse to vote to acquit.

Sure, he’s acquitted. That’s a fact.

however, a solid bipartisan majority in both chambers of Congress found Trump guilty of inciting an insurrection.

Ended how everyone knew it would, let's get on with the healing and unity.

Such a weird move by Mitch.  He's kind of broken off from the Trump/Trump Republicans, and has tried to tone down the insanity of the party.  He speaks out against Trump.  I thought he was working to hold the traditional Republican party together.  Not sure what the hell he's doing.

 

[dozer 1,647]

57 United States Senators concluded President Trump was guilty of inciting an insurrection.

Verdict- not guilty. Dems fail again. Time to move on.

Not sure if this is serious or sarcastic. My cynical take is that neither healing nor unity is on the horizon.

Agreed. He would have been better served voting guilty. This seems to be the worst of both worlds. Alienate his base and not do the right thing.

Yep.  Not guilty.  Two shams in a row.

Can the healing start now?  Or is this the start of going after those that don't agree with Democrats?

Mitch essentially arguing that anyone can resign to escape impeachment.

[ekbeats 230]

Here’s my opinion - the whole trial was unconstitutional as Impeachment is for removing someone from office. That being said, Trump is a pos and if he were still in office he should have been removed. Basically what McConnell just said.

The people at the root of the problem are damaged beyond repair. There will be no healing with them. Unity in this context hopefully just means back to the typical battle stations, and not brazen gaslighting and disingenuous everything.

More than that. The vote does not mirror their conclusions.

No, you needed him to incite an insurrection. It didn't happen.

The Democrats and Administration have zero interest in healing.

I agree.  Once the Dems purge those within their ranks that want revenge and payback and, well, anyone who opposes them, THEN - and only then - can the healing begin.

[Apple Jack 4,937]

Congratulations traitors everywhere!

[Shatner! 541]

Such a BS copout argument from Mcconnell. The House prosecution clearly, clearly, proved you can try and convict a former official. 

[knowledge dropper 6,716]

While Congress focused on this we lost 75-100K more Americans to the virus.  

[Shatner! 541]

It may not be in its jurisdiction, but I wish SCOTUS could have had the power to weigh in on the constitutional nature of this impeachment. Also ridiculous nlthat Mcconnell can be allowed to run out the clock and then claim the loophole. Despicable.

It certainly happened. It’s been happening for months. It’s undeniable.

Discussion that Mcconnell should not have been able to use the constitutionality of the argument to vote not guilty after the Senate decided it was. He failed his duty based on what he just said.

Impeachment happened while he was in office.  McConnel is why he wasn’t removed while in office.
