Republican Senators admit Trump's guilt.

So far, Rubio and Alexander have admitted that Trump is guilty. Both have different - but equally bizare - reasons for attempting to justify their upcoming votes for acquittal. Both rationales actually violate the Constitution, but we will see how it all plays out in November.
 
The Evolution of the Rightwing's Goal Post-Moving, Pretzel-Logic Defense of their Bloated Orange Hero

'It's a nothing burger!"

"It's a witchhunt!"

"It was a perfect phone call!"

'Trump did nothing wrong!"

'Trump was just innocently trying to root out corruption!"

"It may have been wrong, but its not impeachable!"

"It may have been wrong but Trump is doing a great job, so leave him alone!"

"It may be impeachable but it would be too divisive to remove a sitting President!"
 
That's why the TRE45ON defense team took the tack they chose. They didn't deny his actions which most of us can see were unethical, illegal, immoral, WRONG. Instead they've tried to pretzel the law into a new shape that basically boils down to "If the IMPOTUS does it, it's not unconstitutional or illegal."

Oh, and the economy. Just look at it! Isn't it shiny and beautiful?

Nice work

Every poster here who even has a trace of honesty and integrity knows what Trump did was way over the line, and that it is a flagrant abuse of the office of the presidency to solicit foreign governments for help undermining a domestic political opponent.

At this point, it is actually a good test of a poster's integrity. Any poster still desperately clinging to the claim Trumpf did nothing wrong is telegraphing they are shameless liars and ethics-free deceivers

All day, every day, eh?

Do you think there's a mathematical formula that would allow us to take the # of diehard Trumpsuckers here who insist that he didn't do a damn thing wrong and extrapolate that to the population in general?

That tends to happen when you cozy up to sleazebags, petty gossipers, scurrilous rumor mongers, and general filth like Toxic does.

She hasn't been here any longer than you and I -- less, in fact, since she followed me here. Yet she believes the bullshit about Cypress spread by her wannabe buddies like USF, moose, etc. At the same time, we are expected to believe her version of Amazon history, and how she never did a single thing bad, but is always the Eternal Victim. :laugh:

Meanwhile, back at the OP. This is interesting. Thoughts? I think the "full page newspaper ad" is pretty funny. Who reads those anymore? Certainly few ppl under the age of 50.

"Outraged by what they see as a coverup in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, grassroots activists are planning a massive “payback project” designed to punish Republican senators at the ballot box.

"By denying witnesses, Republicans made clear even a smoking gun would not be enough.

"Even as key Republican senators acknowledged Trump’s guilt on charges of abusing power and obstructing Congress, they defied public opinion on Friday by voting to block witnesses and documents, paving the way for the president to be acquitted and claim exoneration.

"Republican fealty to Trump has long wearied liberals but the senators’ move appeared to cause a new level of anger. The Indivisible Project, a progressive group, announced it would target nine senators, among them majority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Trump loyalist Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, in November’s elections.

"Indivisible said it would next week call out one of the “nine Payback Project senators for their participating in a coverup by placing a full page newspaper ad in one of their biggest state papers”. In an appeal to activists, it said “rage is good for recruiting. Hello. Are you pissed about impeachment too?”"
