The Donald.

It doesn't set a good example when a country's seat of power won't allow justice to be served due to mainly self serving loyalties.

As expected the Republican senators whom have their nose deeply buried in Trumps ass voted along tribal lines. At least a few voted their conscience putting country ahead of party.

And at least one who accepts the truth but voted against it. McConnell allegedly saying that Trump was "practically and morally responsible” having voted just minutes earlier for acquittal.

America has made a series of errors over the decades culminating in this most grave of all. Trump is a potent avatar for the hateful undercurrents rife in society and has now been handily absolved of what have been a proper laundry list of high crimes and misdemeanors. He now proceeds onward with renewed vigor, intent on revenge and validation, and will deliver immense impact on the political landscape. I expect the 2022 mid-terms will see substantial ground gained by the neo-fascists, at great cost to the Republican party which has sealed its own fate in lacking the vision to see what is at hand. Frankenstein's monster in this case has a cabal of shrewd enablers, is about to dispatch the naive doctor and will soon lord over the villagers in a reign of prolonged darkness.

History may not repeat but it bloody well does echo, in due respect of M. Twain.
