President defense team twists the truth.

@Budwick Lmao now begins the process of pretending that [i]removing[/i] Trump was the point 😂

Actually Quixotic Soul they are working on backroom deals.

@PTCdresser57 There was never any sort of back room deal that would make removing trump a possibility. That isn’t what any of this is about.

No right now it is about how and when the trial will end Quixotic Soul.

@QuixoticSoul Time will tell whether the real point was achieved.. at the polls in november. If not, the voters deserve what they get and anyone else really should leave.

@Budwick despite your winner take all mentality, there are no winners in this scenario.

@whowasthatmaskedman A huge part of the point was simply setting and maintaining precedent that fucking around with the election gets you impeached. This isn’t [i]just[/i] about November.

@SW-User We are all winners, because the House made a grand gesture to secure the foundations of our democracy.

@QuixoticSoul ...true, he will forever have that mark.
As for the senate... history will not be kind .

@QuixoticSoul Yeah......Nah.. Sorry.. But you are going to have trouble selling me the idea that ANYONE in American politics does anything on Principle. This was all for show.. and in this case to "show" the other side had no principles.

@whowasthatmaskedman This was [i]also[/i] about principle. All-out cynicism is tempting but simplistic - pretty much all of these people love their country and have spent their lives working to make it better.

Of course, principles are easier when you’re the opposition :p

@QuixoticSoul guess we will have to disagree on this. I grant it is easer to have principles on the left, the side of protecting the people and sharing the greater good. Simply because the right is where most of money is.

@whowasthatmaskedman It’s easier to have principles when you’re not in power, more like.

Lately gop has been objectively more retarded, though, no doubt.
