No one views that as a victory parade. As others said it had to be done. He is neutered by Twitter and at 78 is going to be dementia ridden…I hope.

He wasn't, his 75 million votes says he's not a busted flush, hence why the Republicans who had the chance to put clear water between themselves and Trump didn't. They want those votes in the midterms, and the Republicans in Trump areas need that connection to fundraise.

The Dems knew which way Republicans were leaning when McCarthy went to Maralargo to kiss Trumps ring. But Trumps behaviour was so bad they had to try and sanction it somehow, it was worse than the Ukraine affair. So they had no choice despite the knowledge they knew it would fail but in the hope it does some damage.

The calculation, I guess, is that the floating voters and the institutionalists remain put off by it all, so that the Republicans then have to dig up more Republican supporters who don't normally vote. And the only way to do this is to give a greater voice to the loony libertarians.

Yep. Someone getting away with something after a court or quasi court decision gives them a victory. If you know that you're not going to win, don't have the fight.

To win the next election The Republican candidate is going to need to keep Trumps MAGA supporters but also win back mainstream Republicans & some Democrat voters, this makes it easier imo (thou still a hard ask).
 

The Democrats are clearly trying to tar the Republicans as Trump apologists, hoping it’ll stick. I’m not so sure it will, a good political operator can attack the process & the politicalisation of 2 impeachment’s without directly  defending Trump. He can play into the “they’re out to get you/ they’re out of touch” mindset of the MAGA lot, whilst building a coalition of Reagan like voters. The tories struggled to attack Blair as a leftie, because middle England didn’t see him as one, & lefties still voted for him. As sure as night follows day, the next election is going to involve democrats portraying the republican candidate as Trump mk2. If the Republicans get someone middle America doesn’t believe is Trumpesque, this ridiculous impeachment may enable him to keep the MAGA vote whilst distancing himself from trump. 
 

Of course that all goes out the window if it is trump himself. But I can’t believe The Republicans would be that stupid.

The Democrats tried to split the Republicans during the trial between the Trumpites and the rest. Look at the evidence that they presented. The video of Mike Pence and his family being escorted from the mob. The references to him being a great American patriot etc etc.

To an extent they succeeded. Most pre trial estimates had less than 7 Republicans  supporting Trump. A split Republican  party will be easier for them to defeat in future elections so watch them continue these tactics over the next few years.

Maybe the Dems don't want him completely done and gone. Having Trump's attempted putsch defended by the Republicans and rehabilitated enough to keep him as a divisive figure with his voter base splitting the Republicans could be a good result for them. Cynical and wrong, but good for them.

No, really?

I do enjoy Whelk's passive aggressive posts, especially when he shows himself up to be a complete hypocrite - I feel I need to explain it to you that linking to your post shows exactly that as Whelk chose not to bother saying the same thing about your post, which when it comes to GM's posts, you rarely fail to get a hard on.

Your posts on the other hand just remind me of an angry man, full of bile and unfunny insults.  I imagine you're about 5 foot 5, have a comb-over and a beard, you certainly act like you have small man syndrome.

What’s passive aggressive about them? And intrigued someone as low functioning as you could highlight any hypocrisy. Problem is the many simple thinkers on here like to pigeon hole posters as it helps them. Apologies sunshine but men against boys. Little gammon boys.

We had a President inspire a riot and was not held accountable. This guy has broken the conventions and the system is unable to deal with it, it was assumed that no one could behave like this because of the "checks and balances" well that turned out to be BS.  The emoluments clause turned out to be unenforceable, a minority of the country can dictate events due to structural issues in apportionment and courts will not hold you accountable if you put all your mates on it. The system was not designed for people who did not care about the traditions.

Maybe it will be what Kurt Godel came up with, enacted in the future by someone with more imagination than Trump.

Another great example from the greatest country on the planet. Fuck regulation by them commies

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/20/us/texas-storm-electric-bills.html

Its great but weird country. Regulation is for pussies. A friend of mine showed me around the very expensive house her parents were having built in a nice part of Los Angeles. Looked fantastic from the outside but inside you could see it was being built from plastic siding and plasterboard on a 4 x 2 wooden frame. When I questioned why the only insulation was a very thin and loose fleece the builder just scowled and said it 'met code' .  

Now its built her parents are shocked by how much it costs to heat and cool. It's one of the reasons I wanted to stay in the EU. Regardless of what you feel about the politics its feels to me like the citizens come first. In the Anglo-Saxon sphere, the US more so than here tbf, citizens only job is to buy stuff from corporations.

Yeah, The Greeks welfare was put ahead of saving  the Euro, and their vaccine roll shows how much they care. Good job we were in for 40 years, otherwise we’d have walls made of cardboard and use cornflakes as insulation.

The UK currently has the fourth most successful national vaccination programme in the world, having delivered 45 doses per 100 people. But the US is in fifth place and closing, with 38 doses injected per 100 people. The US's is the largest vaccine rollout in the world, having delivered 130 million doses, about a quarter of the global total.

It is already soaring ahead of the UK on full vaccinations, with 14 per cent of the US population inoculated compared to 3.6 per cent in the UK. That is partly due to 45 million Americans having received Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine. The US rollout began shakily, due partly to differing approaches taken by individual states, and the size of the country. Health officials compared it to solving “the world's biggest Rubik's Cube puzzle.” But an early decision that paid off was made under Mr Trump's “Operation Warp Speed” vaccine production initiative. At the outset Mr Trump's administration spread its bets, signing contracts with an array of pharmaceutical companies trying to produce a vaccine, knowing only a few would succeed. In all, it signed contracts for 800 million doses, way more than necessary for its 328 million population.

Trump played a blinder.

6% of the American population had been vaccinated when Biden took over on January 20. Just over 2 months later this figure is 38%.

A pity that Trump never put his weight behind the vaccination process. It has taken his replacement to get things moving.

Looks like Trump will be proved right about the origins of the covid virus, escaping from the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

Quote

House Republican Whip Steve Scalise and more than 200 House Republicans called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to direct committee chairs to investigate the origins of COVID-19 and devote congressional investigatory resources to examining claims that the novel coronavirus pandemic stemmed from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and that the Chinese Communist Party "covered it up." Scalise, R-La., the top Republican on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, in a letter to Pelosi, D-Calif., exclusively obtained by Fox News, said House Democrats have not held "a single hearing" on the origins of COVID-19 despite House Republicans' numerous requests for investigation. "We request that you instruct the appropriate Democrat committee chairs to immediately join Republican calls to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for its role in causing the global COVID-19 pandemic," Scalise and Republicans wrote, adding that there "is mounting evidence the pandemic started in a Chinese lab, and the CCP covered it up." 

Always the most likely explanation and when proven, it will be very expensive for China:

Quote

Republicans have pushed a flurry of bills in recent days related to the outbreak; one bipartisan piece of legislation planned for Friday would set up a virus "origins" panel, while another would let U.S. victims of the virus sue Beijing.

Meanwhile :

Quote

China announced Tuesday during a meeting of the World Health Assembly that it would not participate or support a second phase of the World Health Organization’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19. 

China told the World Health Organization’s decision-making body Tuesday that it considered the probe into the origins of the novel coronavirus in its country to be complete and that the international community should move on to exploring other countries. 

It's worth repeating "China...would not participate or support a second phase of the World Health Organization’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19. " and then ask yourself the question, why not?

Looks like Trump was playing a blinder all along, but people lost their objectivity, blinded by their hatred of the man's personality.

The Chinese are the only people that know for certain, whether or not the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. If they thought it jumped species in a wet market, it would be in their interests to continue to investigate how exactly that happened. They don't want to, because they have something to hide. So, all the other conclusions are so unlikely, that, together with the behaviour of the CCP, it makes the lab escape conclusion the only one left standing. My guess is that Biden has received intelligence that proves it and will be making it public, soon. That and the impending defection of the person responsible for the containment of viruses in the lab., Shi Zhengli, will provide all the proof needed, although I am afraid she and her lab notebooks are living on borrowed time.

The idea didnt originate with Trump, it was already circulating in January 2020. He simply jumped on it months later.

The idea that DT was/is capable of original thought is only matched by the possibility of GM acheiving the same.

To be fair, they didn't participate in the first phase of the WHO organisation investigation!

There was a mush on the radio claiming that Trump made it impossible for the Chinese to “come clean” by making the thing political rather than a public health issue. He said most likely source was an accidental leak from the multi national Predict research carried out into bat virus’. However, because Trump would have spun it as being deliberate or some sort of germ warfare research,  they reacted as they did.
