Coup by DRMs failed. Good. Get back to work. Or start to work finally

Except for a Mean Girl with a Twitter Account and a turtle, they'd actually do their jobs. Brave men, one and all!

All hail the new exploitation economy- everyone under 6 figures is screwed. Corporate America lawyered up and is poised to bleed us all. We are truly fcked.

mikenizza Cowards, cowards, cowards.

The fear that these republicans have is that Trump has dirt over their heads and will use it to stay in control. These people are not patriots their cowards and are selling our country down the river. Countries around the world will not trust us anymore.

Bystanders, enablers and co-conspirators of Trump are party to the rapid deconsruction of democracy by hijacking the Constitution, rule of law, judiciary, Senate, FBI, NSA, EPA, DHS, HHS and DOE. The US is hurtling towards a point of no return from this...

There are reasons these GOP Senators are caving beyond the obvious. They know America is changing and this is their last stand. Ending Democracy as we know it by supporting a King is their only hope to stay in power. They are basically unemployable otherwise.

18 witnesses called by Democrats.

No balls !!

In other words, Americans found your arguments unconvincing.

Better than fear of the press that would hang you for not following their narrative!

DEM Sen Whitehouse on Republican fear of retribution by Trump as reason why they stand against the Bastardization of Impeachment is B.S.! DEMS have been IMPEACHING Trump even before he took his oath.Their goal,to OVERTURN the 2016 Election & take down Trump before he wins in 2020

I have one theory: the absurdity of the Democrat impeachment project is entirely fabricated and partisan which keeps Republicans unified

Shameful corrupt RepRATS....

You are willing to jump in the fire for partisan gain.

Once a coward, always a coward. Not one man among them. It is embarrassing to have these creeps representing our country.

The problem is that both Trump and McConnell are shameless. That is not going to work for the majority of swing state senators.

In a democracy Politicians ARE supposed to do the bidding of their supporters. Anyone who wants politicians to ignore the will of the electorate is anti-democratic.

Maybe they know there won't be an election in November?

Collins to vote in favor of impeachment trial witnesses, documentsSenator Sheldon Whitehouse reacts to the news that Republican Senator Susan Collins will vote in favor of allowing witnesses and documents to be subpoenaed in Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial.
