House impeachment managers Rep. Val Demings and Rep. Sylvia Garcia D-TX arrive for closing statements in President Trump's impeachment trial.House impeachment managers Rep. Val Demings and Rep. Sylvia Garcia D-TX arrive for closing statements in President Trump's impeachment trial."It's been a very, very unfair process," Trump told Sean Hannity of Fox News in a pre-Super Bowl interview."It should never happen to another president.

After Monday's session, the Senate will adjourn until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, when senators are set to take a formal vote on the articles of impeachment.

Censure at least to set a minimum for future behavior.

Almost everybody knew... except the folks at Propaganda Media (PM), NPR. When this impeachment hoax started CNN prognosticators told story that votes to convict in Senate would be difficult to impossible... in 2017 this was known... except by government supported, PM, NPR.

NPR =Pravda

Republican senator did not represent the will of the people but the will of their own pockets. You were elected but you only serve your own interest.

That will change in November and then we will impeach him

Good to have satan on your side, I guess...

Assclown Pelosi knew this months ago!

Selling out our democracy over their party loyalty like the lemmings they are.

Yeah as was the case when this debacle started which is why this was the guaranteed end result from the beginning

I know it is a done deal but I hope more of the coverup comes out and that all the people that did the coverup go to jail.

Vote them ALL OUT

He bombed 50 US troops and we've not heard of the extent of their injuries beyond brain injury via the trickle truth he drools. trump's cabinet of sycophants ensnare themselves in his legal tangles.

No trial. No acquittal

Mcconnell must not be allowed to sabotage d.t.'s removal.

The inevitability of predictability.

We all reap what we sow. All us! That INCLUDES trump & Mitch. Proverbs 11:4 “Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath but RIGHTEOUSNESS delivers from death.” We KNOW Trump is above OUR LAWS but can we say the same for God’s Law? 🤔 Be patient. This is gonna get REAL good 🤫

Criminals. He willnever be acquitted. He never had a trial. No witnesses.

I never expected the Republicans to do anything but make excuses and cover for Trump. But it's still incredibly heartbreaking to actually watch it happen.

History will judge. And I don't think the republicans, particularly those in the Senate, will look very good. Their reputations will be soiled forever if they vote to acquit.

Impeachment no longer functions. What else is there to do?

Perhaps as the victim of Trump's alleged tyranny and demands, if the Ukrainian President were to have actually noticed the Democrats claim that he was being bullied, bribed, exported and pressured, maybe things would have turned out differently.

This was a given from the start- no way 20 Republicans will ever vote to remove Trump. By pushing for impeachment, we have now created the most dangerous President in our history - Trump now unleashed to destroy/kill his enemies, to line his pockets, to ignore any law. KingTrump

Watching the slow death of the GOP in real time.

Is a disgrace, djt is a psychopath illiterate danger to all. Is such a corrupt Republican Party they only looking at funds lost if they voted against him

If I only knew what it is they get out of this that makes it worth selling their integrity for.

Still impeached

It’s not an acquittal, but a political ploy after a sham trial conducted in “total coordination “ with the defense, which included potential co-conspirators involved in or witnesses to the very acts they were defending, complete with several misrepresentations of facts and law.

Simple majority for acquittal. 3/5 for conviction. This doesn't seem fair. GOPTraitors impeached

Acquittal? Sure, but no exoneration.

Hey, a boy can hope, right?!

Acquittal, but not Exonerated. If anything the trial exposed how broken the Republican Party is. So full of hypocrisy and corruption. He was not exonerated, they know he's guilty. They're just allowing him to become a dictator, and it's sad...

yea, that’ll be the vote that sinks their battleship

I don’t feel like the people are being represented.

🧐🧐🧐

And we knew this was going to happen.

They are too compromised in the Senate with Schumer and the sex stuff that went on in the background. No corporate candidates this election cycle. The sex criminals are creating the hostile relationship with China see all. Gold only. Constitutionalism

President Trump has made it look like past presidents didn't even try to advocate for We the People. We desperately need four more years of his America First common sense governance. He's a miracle and he's saving America. FOURMOREYEARS KAG2020

Or perhaps... it will heat up! 😉 [Clinging to last shreds of hope until the impeachment hearing in the Senate is over.] WeNeedAHero TrumpIsCorrupt

Everything about that picture disgusts me.

Here is where we get to see if there is any backbone and patriotism remaining in the GOP. Who will vote to remove POTUS? Will there, at the very least be a resolution to censure POTUS? Will anyone be held in contempt for perjuring themselves, looking at McConnell here.

I’ll skip the house managers boring non case

😴😴😴 It's over. Time to move on. Doesn't the DNC have some 'rigging' to do? Bernie is surging and John Kerry is preparing to jump in. 😂😂

I see no need in watching a sham trial.

Billboard in Kentucky. Not sure why the people of Kentucky keep voting against themselves.
