    Your answer has complete nothing to do with what I posted. Ran out of (fake) arguments?
    You will see in the fullness of time the real damage that Trump caused.
    The first big problems with vaccines for Covid due to bad management of Trump are appearing. The head of the corona team, noted that "Trump's legacy is much worse than expected."

    It would be better if you had a little bit less patience and instead a little bit more brains.

    GOP senators say only a few Republicans will vote to convict Trump
    https://thehill.com/homenews/senate...-a-few-republicans-will-vote-to-convict-trump

    Republicans say the chances that former President Trump will be convicted in an impeachment trial are plummeting, despite lingering anger among some Republicans over his actions.

    Only five or six Republican senators at the most seem likely to vote for impeachment, far fewer than the number needed, GOP sources say.


    A two-thirds majority vote would be necessary for a conviction, something that would require at least 17 GOP votes if every Democrat votes to convict Trump.

    Senators say a few things have moved in Trump's favor.

    One significant development is that Trump decided not to pardon any of the individuals charged with taking part in the Capitol riot, which would have lost him more Republican support.

    “I thought if he pardoned people who had been part of this invasion of the Capitol, that would have pushed the number higher because that would have said, ‘These are my guys,’” said one Republican senator, who requested anonymity to speak about how GOP senators are likely to vote.

    GOP senators are also worried about a political backlash from the former president’s fervent supporters.

    They have observed the angry response to House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who is facing calls to resign from the House GOP leadership team after voting last week to impeach Trump.

    A second Republican senator said the Republican Party needs to rebuild and warned it will be tough to bring Trump’s base into the party tent ahead of the 2022 midterm elections and the 2024 presidential election if GOP senators vote in large numbers to convict Trump.

    “I do think his supporters would be very upset,” the lawmaker said.

    At the same time, this lawmaker warned of the dangers of the party being too beholden to Trump.

    “The Republican Party is going to have to have a discussion about its future. At some point it’s going to have to become about something more than a person,” the lawmaker said.

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday proposed delaying the start of the trial until mid-February. He is asking for the House impeachment managers to wait until Thursday to present the article of impeachment to the Senate. He wants to give Trump’s legal team until Feb. 11 to submit its pre-trial brief.

    This represents a third factor that could blunt political momentum among Republicans to convict Trump, as with each passing day his presidency recedes further and further into the past.

    “For the most part, there is a real strong consensus among our members that this is after the fact. He’s out of office and impeachment is a remedy to remove somebody from office, so there’s the constitutional question,” the second GOP senator said.

    “That’s my sense of where most of our members are going to come down,” the source added.

    A fourth factor is growing doubt about whether Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over a Senate trial.

    Republicans say if Roberts doesn’t preside and the chair is instead occupied by Vice President Harris — who as a California senator voted to convict Trump on two articles of impeachment last year — or Senate President Pro Tempore Pat Leahy (D-Vt.), the process will appear like a partisan exercise.

    “It starts losing its legitimacy,” the first Republican senator said of an impeachment trial without the chief justice in the chair.

    A third Republican senator said there are “five or six, maybe” votes to convict Trump, arguing there’s no point in casting a vote that would further divide the country when the president is already out of office.

    “If people like me vote no, then there are only five or six,” the senator added. “What would it do to the country?”

    “I don’t want to tell my constituents you can’t vote for him. They’re grownups,” the lawmaker added.

    Democrats say a major reason to hold a trial even though Trump is now a private citizen is to bar him from running for president again.

    The Senate would need to vote to convict Trump on the pending article of impeachment and then hold a separate simple-majority vote to bar him from future office.
    A fourth Republican senator also said the number of expected Republican votes to convict Trump will be fewer than 10.

    “I’d say certainly less than 10, and I’d say five or six is probably about right,” the lawmaker said.

    Republican senators say that colleagues who have publicly declared that Trump has committed impeachable offenses or have blamed him for inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol are most likely to vote to convict Trump.

    Sens. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) have said they believe Trump likely committed impeachable offenses.

    Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) publicly blamed him for inciting the crowd.

    And Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) called on him to resign from office early.

    There have been reports that McConnell himself has confided to associates that he believes Trump committed impeachable offenses, and the GOP leader has not said how he would vote.

    But many believe McConnell would not vote to convict Trump if doing so would hurt a number of his colleagues up for reelection in 2022, when Republicans hope they can again gain control of the Senate.

    Republicans are not there to serve the people. They just behave in function of their fat paid job. Money is the only motivation Republicans know. Their slogan is: make my wallet look great again.
    If their wallet is hurt by condemning a criminal, they let that criminal get away with it. What's the importance of 5 deaths compared to losing their fat yearly salary?
    Trump can rape, murder or steal and his Republican friends will still let him get away with it. They confirmed that they are real scruples "politicians".

    HUGE: Mitch McConnell Gets Censured By Kentucky Republicans For Betraying Trump, Siding With Schumer
    https://trendingpolitics.com/huge-m...cans-for-betraying-trump-siding-with-schumer/

    Senate Leader Mitch McConnell completely defied the Republican party last week when he defied President Donald Trump and sided with the Democrats.

    The moves by McConnell were so shocking that Kentucky Republicans are now lashing out against the Senator for not being “consistent with what he promised us when he was running.”

    “YOU’RE FORGETTING WHO YOU ARE”; Rand Paul Makes Mincemeat Of George Stephanopolous
    https://trendingpolitics.com/watch-...at-of-george-stephanopolous-over-voter-fraud/

    Sen. Rand Paul laid down some smack on ABC’s resident Democratic operative, George Stephanopoulos, on Sunday as he pushed back against another liberal media attempt to legitimize aspects of the 2020 election that very likely cost President Trump a second term.

    And in doing so, the Kentucky Republican created a blueprint for other GOP lawmakers and conservative pundits not named Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse to use when disputing the false premise from Democrats and their media allies that during the last election cycle, ‘there is nothing to see here.’

    The back and forth culminated with Paul shutting down Stephanopolous by saying: “There are two sides to every story. George, you’re forgetting who you are. You’re forgetting who you are as a journalist if you think there’s only one side.”

    SHOCK: TIME Magazine Article Admits How the 2020 Election Was “Fortified” Against President Trump
    https://trendingpolitics.com/shock-...-election-was-rigged-against-president-trump/
    There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.
    Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time.
