When will some Republican Senators finally get pissed off? Trump just threatened them not to vote against him in the impeachment trial:
"According to a report from CBS News, Republicans even entertaining the idea of giving Democrats the necessary votes to call witnesses have been told, “Vote against the president, and your head will be on a pike.”
Trump continues to prove that Adam Schiff's brilliant and heartfelt closing speech from last night is all too true;
""If 'Right' doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter how good the constitution is," Rep. Schiff told the Senate. "The framers could not protect us from ourselves if right and truth don’t matter. And you know what (Trump) did was not right."
Not only is what Trump does "not right", what Trump does is profoundly wrong. There is just something wrong with him.
I think it is about time that about half a dozen Republican Senators break the wall of fear, get pissed off, and vote to impeach this pathetic little man. Probably won't happen, but what is it going to take?
How is what Trump is doing any different than an authoritarian tyrant would do? This is what the Republican Party stands for today - blind and fearful obeisance to an authoritarian despot.
They don't have to do this. They can take their party back. But it will take more than one, but only one is probably needed to crack open the wall. Romney, Collins, Murkowski? I would wager that it will be a woman who is most likely to have the courage to finally say "ENOUGH!"
