  1. They are censuring these senators and no one is doing anything to the ones who did not vote to convict. How is that right. If anyone of these seven had had the guts during the first impeachment this wouldn’t be a thing.

    1. @Detritiv0re If these Censured men are lawyers, each can lose their license to practice, even in their home state. A Censure is not nothing.

    2. GOP action is like Russia Government. And Trump wants to rule like North Korea Leader. He is the one to take your guns. What leader you know of that had the Citizens help his cause, get what he needed,then turn on them because they will be a threat to him if he let them down.

    3. The first impeachment itself was a sham. Are you crazy? On one hand you want him impeached for undermining democracy/constitution and same time you want him impeached for a investigation that was unconstitutional. You are full of contradictions

  2. The Republicans whine and shriek about cancel culture but they love to cancel anyone who dares to speak out against their Fuhrer.

    1. @You’re right I can’t quit Trump but so fake news is the party turning on it’s own senators? You need to start challenging what Trump says because if you don’t your just giving him free reign to do as he pleases and your just a sheep

    1. @Jack B Yes, but speaking from personal experience it’s very hard to compete against the Party’s organisation & resources when you’re an independent

    2. @faith nelson Maybe the US will finally have more than 2 major parties. Although, some “no longer Republicans” are looking into starting a new political party. I believe it’s called the Central Right Republicans. Which is really, the same ideology as the central right democrats. Makes no sense, except that they just can’t get themselves to call themselves Democrats. So silly!

    3. @Squarey Square Sad but true. I’ve voted independent, many times, when both of the other candidates have been awful. The sad part was, that I knew, the person I was voting for had no chance of winning.

    1. It’s the true Republican people rising up to rid their party of the corrupt Washington uniparty establishment. It’s what Progressives only dream about doing to the Democrat party.

    2. Indeed, yes. Let the GOP burn itself up from within, and let something decent be rebuilt from the ashes by people of integrity and values.

    3. @Gerald Tarrant Trump will prevail over the Mitch McConnell Washington establishment uniparty. The Progressives are jealous of our movement.

    4. @You’re right I can’t quit Trump but Don’t think so after all Donald Trump has done by planning and inciting an insurrection where 6 people have lost their lives.

  3. The FIRST duty of every Congressman and Senator is to uphold their oath to support the U.S. Constitution. Their SECOND duty is to represent their constituents.

    1. @Veronica Wo vote who out. Dont keep you hopes up. In 14 district GA’s GQP primary, they chose a gloryhole operator over a Neurosurgeon. You just cant win with people of Korangal Valley in afghanistan. That includes their Merican version in GA

  4. They should be fired for censoring because they voted their conscious. At least they have one. Not sure about the rest of GOP.

  5. i applaud kinzinger for voting his conscience, as for his family, i’d cut ties with those kinds of people in a heartbeat!

    1. @Beautiful One. Problem is, your little rant says nothing, it’s just generic playground insults. You have no facts, no reasoning no argument, just abuse. Clearly you don’t want any discussion on these issues, you’re not interested in coming to an understanding or finding common ground, or even trying to convince people of your point of view. No, you just want to vent spleen & bile anonymously on the Internet at people you don’t even know. Assuming you’re not an algorithm designed to cause social friction, then you’re just a bit of a sad individual, full of misdirected anger and fighting off feelings of failure by projecting to to others. hey! Why don’t you get a gun? That might make you feel powerful and overcome those feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy.

    2. @Beautiful One. Triggered much? SPECIAL person that Trump LOVES so MUCH go send your love to Trump on twitter.. Oh Wait you can’t 🤣

    1. @Meghan whats racial justice? Do you mean racial equality? You speak of everything the establishment has created. Good moral character? Do you read the comments? Science itself? Wtf does that mean? What fauci says? Bill gates? Maybe you should edit again

    2. @Ed S all you got to do is quit supporting the creators of all that. Its the deception of the leftest ideology. Its not about trump. Its not about white people. Its not about racism. Thats what they tell you. They are liars. Deceivers. Its the establishment. Its the media. Its big tech. Its big pharma. Its big corp. Its the psychological warfare. Its the mental enslavement. They use pride and hate to blind your true conscience and feed your ego. The ego reject truth when it hurts the pride.

    1. Mr. Kinzinger did the right, noble and honorable thing. He chose Truth and Country above Party and Trump. His family name thanks to this, will be remembered as such, in the History books.

  6. They tried to overthrow OUR country.
    “ But let Justice rain down like waters
    and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream “ Amos 5:24 and Miss Marple ( Agatha Christie)

  7. It’s Stockholm Syndrome . Trump knows his time is short to rally for his finally loss. Threats from America’s former Bully President are an insult to Freedom . In my opinion

    1. Victoria Davis Donald Trump legal problems are catching up with him and he has no where to run/ or hide. I just need to see this ORANGE BULLY IN AN ORANGE JUMPSUIT TO MATCH HIS ORANGE TAN.

  8. I don’t know any normal thinking person who would want to have anything to do with the GOP after the Jan. 6th riot.

    1. @kraken Stomp 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Real talk doe, I pray the people of Texas get heat soon. They have a couple of death on their hands. Did not know they running their on energy supply from every other States, now they suffering! That’s bad

    2. @kraken Stomp hahaha I can see where you get your fake news.
      The actual state director of energy just said that actually the wind power is only 13% of all power and that’s actually fine…

      It’s the coal, gas and even nuclear facilities & the machinery that runs them that are freezing up cuz of the weather….

      It’s all in the article, google it. No you’ll just listen to fox newsmax or OAN. 🤮🙄😂 gotta start lying and make it culture war ….even tho massive death and destruction is coming to Texas….

    3. @9 Haunted Days not according to the Governor.
      And what you’ve stated makes no sense if you think about it , coal and gas nuke has been around without issues for many years . But you believe what you will .

  9. “Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgement; and he betrays you instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.” –Edmund Burke

  10. I notice when Trump makes comments like, “what is right for our country” he really is implying… carry out the agenda “ I “ want, not the country.
    He wants to think he’s still running your country.
