Of course they had to vote yes, unless you don’t believe in our constitution or democracy….. how could they vote otherwise if they have children, grandchildren or a dog.
Not surprisingly not one Republican crossed partisan lines. I was embarrassed Tom Cole of Oklahoma took the floor as he did. For those not aware—Tom Cole used to be a Democrat until gerrymandering changed the Oklahoma congressional districts.
I was wrong in regards to Kendra Horn’s vote. She voted yes on moving the impeachment forward on our most overtly corrupt president in the history of America.
Good for Kendra Horn. I actually called her congressional office and told one of her aides I admired her political courage for voting in this manner. Too bad for democracy James Lankford and Jim Inhoffe don’t have her set of balls to cast their votes in the impending Senate trial of the most overtly corrupt POTUS ever.
I’m going to try and use restraint on my blog as this moves along. I want to be thoughtful, deliberate, and ‘somewhat’ restrained as the trial of our most overtly corrupt POTUS moves to the Senate trial stage.
Hopefully, Trump won’t read his own transcript at his trial in that it in plain print supports the claim he’s guilty of treason, obstruction of justice, and perjury.
Sigh.
Trump seems to forget it was the erased gaps in the tapes which finally led to senators from his own party walking over to Nixon’s office and demanding his resignation. Most don’t know Bush 41 was the chairman of the RNC at that time and wrote the letter stating the need for Nixon’s to resign. Of course there was Howard Baker and others, but in Jon Meacham’s biography of Bush 41 the letter he wrote to Nixon at that time is covered in the book.
I don’t even know who the chairman of the RNC is right now. Is it one of the flunkies from Trump’s Reservoir Dogs-like mini mafia operation? I need to google the current RNC chairman tonight. Is it Liz Cheney? I can’t believe I don’t know who it is. History will not be kind to previous GOP chairman Reince Preibus. He was a chief enabler to this bullshit when our country needed a mature patriot instead of party-line yes man.
Good for Kendra Horn though.
