I think it was Mitch McConnell, leader of the senate Republicans.

He (said he) voted not guilty because he thinks Trump shouldn?t have been impeached in the first place.



Keano: ?Perhaps Nancy and her gang should now consider resigning??

Like you do when you?ve set-up a trial that found Trump 57-Guilty and 43-Not Guilty of inciting insurrection.

The record stands, Trump is Guilty.

Just the 2/3 required majority, which was not met, means he?s acquitted.

Republicans scared to vote against Trump, immediately after the vote Don Jr announces we?re coming to get those 7 senators. Demonstrating the fear being justified. Disgusting.

Perhaps this isn't the thread for it...but this whole sorry affair highlights extreme partisan nature of US politics (echoed in the UK of course along both party and brexit lines more recently)...does the Republican party have a future in its current form? Which also raises the question on the democrats as well...which also raises the broader question of party politics in places like the UK, where both major parties are plagued by factionalism within their respective parties.


It's seems in our modern world, when narrow interest groups (at all ends of the political spectrum) often make the most noise, there is little room for 'moderates' with broad appeal when it comes to almost any issue....


(As I say, perhaps off topic a bit, but I can't be bothered starting a new thread right now!)

All valid and pertinent points, Cat.

Interesting how some Rep senators, pre-election, repeatedly branded the Dems ?far left, extreme left, left wing radicals?. When actually the Dems are Right wing, if anything.

They just are not extreme like some of the Rep senators.

It?d take some doing to be further right than the Reps now !

Or maybe she'll just avoid his hand when he tries to hold it as she usually does.


I suspect this will come back to bite the republicans at some stage.

No just the whole thing of allowing Trump to get a way with it.


I still think she'll stay with him ... even if she's unhappy (and she must be how could anyone be happy living with him). which is sad.

      that is one cliche-ridden post headnun    it doesn’t mean a sack of beans in the real world  “old fashioned voters” meaning the ones dragging the country down this last 15 years just to laugh at the libs tears. Well done all  I’m not looking back at all. This is not a post Europe world in any sense. There are forces bigger than Europe but uk would be better aligning with Europe against, say, china, the pretending we live in some post Europe world.    and in case you hadn’t noticed, whoever you vote for, there are a LOT of ignorant racists feeling very happy with their resurgence - I would fight against them if I were you

      No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.  You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.

      I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop
