"SNIP......

After” the Senate voted to acquit former President Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Saturday ruled out censuring the former president — an idea that several Republicans had floated in recent days,” The Hill reports.

Said Pelosi: “Censure is a slap in the face of the Constitution. It lets everybody off the hook, it lets everybody off the hook.”

She added: “Oh, these cowardly senators who couldn’t face up to what the president did and what was at stake for our country are now going to have a chance to give a little slap on the wrist?”

......SNIP"

2. Good. Move on Speaker Pelosi. No more Trump. Full steam ahead on Joe's agenda!

3. A censure at this point is just a fig leaf for the Republicans who voted to acquit him

The Senate already censured him - by a 57-43 vote to convict.

4. Pelosi did Republicans a favor impeaching Trump. They had a chance to ostracize him.

They said no and accused the Democrats of a partisan persecution.

Now they want us to help them cover their asses and protect their political future.

Fuck them.
