(15,179 posts)The Senate will let him off the hook, but that doesn't mean that Chairman Schiff et al need to give up. More hearings and more witnesses. Keep sending subpoenas to the White House for documents and follow up in court. Keep after these guys!!
Plus, there is still a chance that SCOTUS will rule that The Orange One has to release his taxes. Won't that be fun!
Plus - VOTE VOTE VOTE

(1,089 posts)Someone said this morning that McConnell was playing the short game, no doubt because the toddler in the W.H. had tantrums. But what will happen over the next 10 months is drip, drip, drip....A great risk with an election in November.

(43,364 posts)The truth will emerge, by hook or by crook. Most importantly, the public will not be silenced. The corruption will no longer be drip drip, it will flow like a river. Americans will accept no less than the truth.

He is a sick, vile POS. May that day come when he is being judged.

(35 posts)With or without witnesses Impotus will be acquitted. The disgusting vulnerable GOP Senators(Collins, McSally, Gardner et al) are ever so complicit and will not be able to say they wanted witnesses. Tell the American people what a sham trial the Senate conducted void of documents and witnesses.
Keep the subpoenas coming with more PUBLIC hearings.

(13,776 posts)No witnesses when 75% of the country want them and their senators tuck their craven tails between their craven legs = looks like a coverup and certainly not a meaningful acquittal.
Plus, Id gotten so wrapped up in the dictatorship angle of his getting away with this that Id forgotten that... wait, theres more! For months! This isnt the last actits the first.
Im still terrified of the hacking of the election, but at least the investigations will continue even after this phony result is in.

(7,434 posts)So you're assuming that the nation will still be stable enough to overtake the dictatorship, that the political opposition will reverse Trump's ascendency to dictator.
I don't think so. It has to stop now, or it will take several years to reverse the damage, if at all.

(35 posts)Guess you didn't get my point. I'm not for acquittal. But witness or no witness,he will be acquitted.So we have to keep up the fight post-impeachment with following steps:
Expose GOP for sham trial.
Continue House hearings and call own witnesses
Urge fellow citizens to VOTE so we can duplicate 2018 results
Agree it will take a while for nation stability with the irreparable damage already done.

(63,931 posts)Already there are those who on going into the Senate conducting silent protests, this is just the beginning.
If I compare the American people to a pressure cooker, the pressure cooker lid is going to blow off soon. And watch out when it does.

(7,434 posts)You're presuming way too much. IMO, what won't matter after acquittal is what any opposition to Trump does or doesn't do. Trump will be given the keys to dictatorship. He WILL render the next election inconsequential. THAT will be his goal as Dictator. And he'll succeed.
I'm not in the business of being a constant downer, but this is important. The Constitution will be pulled to shreds after the acquittal. That means we should at best expect a rigged election-- so rigged that a landslide Democratic popular win will become a Republican win in the blink of an eye. At worst, Trump will cancel the election.
I'm writing this as my only effective way of going beyond traditional activism and voting to persuade anyone on the fence that this trial is dead serious, meaning that if the Senate acquits, the Constitution dies. Seriously. I've been posting this message on sites frequented by Trumpers. I have to do it. This isn't about politics, really. It's about the framework of the Constitution. It's about surviving as a democratic republic. An acquittal will hurt Trumpers, too, who've become well accustomed to voting against their own best interests. But THIS. This coming acquittal is different by degrees of magnitude. It will hurt everyone.
