Jesus, the bias in that 'news' 'article'.
I'm not surprised you get so many TDSers like Bob.
- Trump was acquitted
- Several paragraphs of 'Trump Bad!'
- Lots of comments of anti-Trump senators
- finally right at the bottom closes with a couple of token comments from Trump Defenders
- but has to get the last 'remember: Trump = Bad' in with the final line of 'remember: he's the only pres. impeached twice! (ignore that he won both impeachments pls)'
Rent-free, inside your head.
-Trump was acquitted, to the surprise of nobody
-I don't read articles from shitty sources, so can't say. ABC has never struck me as reliable, except if you're relying on FOX-tier "reporting." Welcome to the new media era, where opinions matter more than facts.
-I wouldn't call them "anti-Trump" so much as "people who are fed up with Trump being part of their party politics." It's an understandable position to hold. The man did more damage to US politics than Hillary Clinton did when she lost her emails.
-People who defend Trump have shown the tendency towards being quite incoherent. As a certain someone in this thread has already shown, their best comeback is "Libcuck." I would say they got cucked out of ever having a majority in the senate or congress for another 10 years by backing a lame horse, but that's fueling the fire. Anyways, I'm highly biased, but I can't disagree with ABC for not giving airtime to people who can't form whole sentences.
-He didn't "win" anything. An acquittal means that the senate has chosen not to go through with a trial to decide treason, or whichever charge he was facing. Given that even Mitch "my existence shames turtles" McConnell ended the day with "he's still a piece of shit, and guilty of treason, but let someone else deal with him," it stands to reason that this whole charade was just for show. More below.
And nobody was surprised he got off
A political show trial that only has half the politician's support(If they vote yes, then the rest of them are up next, so they won't) that needed 2/3rds support
All that over what is already very questionable comments that are not even near the worst we've seen during his time as president
They knew exactly what was going to happen, but now they can complain about the other side more
Basically this, but to add to it, it also put the priority of prosecution on New York and Georgia, whom have already stated they are indeed pursuing legal charges on multiple accounts, one of them being attempting to subvert the election. It should surprise nobody that, as XSI has stated, the senators who voted "no" did so to save their own necks. If they vote "yes," that leaves them prone to then being targeted as co-conspirators on sedition, among other things. Voting "no" still makes them look guilty as Hell, but at least it deflates the sails of the senators who first pushed this impeachment. I have to go with the mindset that they did indeed need the wind taken out of their sails, too. Biden's "unity" can only go through when everyone is working together, rather than going on witch hunt for people who may or may not have been co-conspirators in an attempt to overthrow democracy.
XSI does establish a good point about complaining, but also overlooks a major detail. The Republican party is currently at odds with itself. A good number of them are talking about going to a Trump-lead party. Others are talking about splitting off to do their own thing, separate of both Republican's and Trump. They're also facing scrutiny for allowing nuts like Marjory Taylor Greene to have any place in their party. Of course, it won't help the Democrat's to harp on these points or focus entirely on the flaws of the Republican's, since the country is waiting for work to get done. People aren't concerned about what dumb thing Ted Cruz recently said while they're starving and going stir crazy from being locked inside for days.
The Democrat's have a similar issue to the Republican's, too, though. Not necessarily a party mired in "swamp politics" or anything like that, but fraught with incompetence. They have to get their shit together and really start working, or this opportunity will pass them by. They have a rare opportunity to not only hold power for the next decade, but to keep the Republican's from ever having a majority. Only through careful navigation and effective leadership, as well as competent members working together will they manage any of this. That means that Pelosi and a few others either have to step in line, or step down.
many saw it coming just from Biden's UNITY.
I'm not sure what the connection between an obvious and expected result, and what is currently "pillow talk" from the current US president. Care to elaborate?
