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.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
