Trump acquitted in impeachment trial; 7 GOP Senators vote with Democrats to convict (nbcnews.com)
Trump acquitted but not one democrat crossed the aisle.
Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania all voted guilty.
The vote means the Senate cannot bar Trump from holding future federal offices.
Moments after the vote concluded, the former president issued a statement praising his legal team and thanking the senators and other members of Congress "who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country."
"This has been yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country. No president has ever gone through anything like it," Trump said.
I guess not.Not that it was any great surprise.
I wish I could spontaneously vomit.I am saddened

I am saddened
I doubt any of the victims of Trump's mobs incited by him at the Capitol will be quite so fond of it.He was a great president, and I can accept that things turned out this way. I now lend Biden my strength, as I have every President of the United States, but I will always look back with fondness on the era of Trump.
I agree with you, and it was McConnell, announcing early today that he would vote to acquit based not on facts in evidence but on juridsdication issue -- which issue is false, since the Senate itself gets to decide on jurisdiction, and it did!7 GOP is a larger number than I expected. But is is still a horrible “indictment” of the Republican Party and the U.S. political system,
Many of those who voted against conviction have stated they did so based solely on “jurisdiction issues”, not because they believe Trump did not incite insurrection. A nonsensical and cowardly excuse.
{rioters had been} “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth. Because he was angry he'd lost an election."
"Former President Trump's actions that preceded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty,". Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day." - Mitch McConnell
Well, this isn't going to make it any easier to discourage repeat performances of 1/6, but David Frum -- one of W. Bush's speechwriters -- thinks the trial will significantly reduce Trump's political prospects. We'll see, of course.
Maybe one of the more significant bits of fallout from 1/6 is that it's caused more people to leave the Republican Party than anything else has in the past four years. Not many. Around 100,000 so far have switched their voter registrations. But perhaps the trend will continue now that it's started. In a way, that points to a silver lining in the narrow margins by which states can be won or lost these days.
Me, I see further radicalization and a stronger inclination to violence on the horizon as the Party shrinks and the leadership feels increasing pressure to resort to desperate measures in order to hold onto power or gain it.
The Democrats are a satanic cabal and probably pedophiles.How do you interpret that fact? And by what reasoning and evidence do you arrive at the fact's significance and meaning to you?
Do you consider yourself reasonably well-informed about American politics?
What are your three most preferred media outlets?

Yes. I am among the most well informed Americans.

Well at least they tried, I guess.
I doubt this is the last we’ll hear of it. I’m not even American and this was on our news all the time. Yeesh!
Somewhat tangentially related, I wonder how Trump’s old pal Guliani (?) is doing. Last I heard he was being sued for libel or something.
