obvious shortcomings.
When they arrogantly announce that "my mind is made up" before hearing the evidence; when they are asked if ANY evidence could persuade them to vote for conviction and they answer "No!" without hesitation; when they read novels or doodle while the Democrats present the "devastating" case against Trump, they have stripped off all pretense that they are honorable patriots.
They are making it very clear that the oath they took as they were "sworn in" is, in their view, just a quaint but meaningless recitation. They shamelessly publicize that they reject the obligation that their predecessors in both parties proudly undertook: to respect each other, their opponents and their predecessors.
Their naked disdain for our democracy would embarrass anyone with a shred of decency but, to paraphrase their leader, "They are who they are".

(192 posts)Republicans pretending to look for that elusive straw that somehow, never seems to break the camels back.
The rest of the world looking at a camel, straining to carry the 1200 lbs. of evidence already loaded.

(11,296 posts)Number of people that died on Flight 93 that bravely gave their lives to protect the Capitol. It wasn't a mistake that number was mentioned today. 44 brave patriots that died protecting the Capitol while the Republicans are 44 cowards not protecting the Capitol. Simple as that
