   It is done. Donald Trump, impeached by the House of   
   Representatives, has been acquitted by the Senate.   
      
   He acted with corrupt intent to pressure the government of   
   Ukraine to announce an investigation into the Bidens. He   
   withheld congressionally approved aid to do so. In so doing, he   
   broke the law. Then he did everything he could to obstruct the   
   inquiry looking into his crime.   
      
   He did these things. This is not in question anymore. Everyone   
   paying attention to the evidence presented and that which   
   continues to be revealed in the press knows this. Republicans in   
   Congress know this.   
      
   However, all but one — Mitt Romney — have lined up behind Trump   
   to support and defend him.   
      
   What we have watched in Washington from Republicans during this   
   impeachment is nothing short of a travesty. Most people fully   
   expected the Republicans in the Senate to do exactly what they   
   did. However, it is still a strike against the country and the   
   Constitution.   
      
   Where are we? What’s next?   
      
   I, for one, am happy that the Democrats in Congress did what   
   they did. Indeed, they had no choice. A line had to be drawn and   
   defended. If in fact no one in this country is supposed to be   
   above the law, that case had to be made by someone. If the   
   sanctity of our elections is supposed to be inviolable, that   
   principle had to be defended.   
      
   Now that Republicans have refused to do their duty out of   
   extreme tribalism and devotion to Trump, Democrats need to make   
   lists and take names. There is no time for crestfallen   
   recriminations.   
      
   Yah yah yah.   
      
   Dumb nigger rant continues.
