I had a very, very small hope that the overwhelming evidence proving incitement would compel 17 Republicans to vote the right way.
But in the end, 43 Republican Senators chose to be cucks.
C'est la vie.

Senator Richard Burr, of North Carolina, and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania are the two unexpected additions to the list. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana was slightly less of a surprise, as he did vote to advance the trial.
Burr, who is retiring, said in a statement after the vote that he believed it was unconstitutional to impeach a president who was no longer in office, but once the Senate set the precedent that it was within the law, he listened to the facts as an impartial juror.
"The facts are clear," he said.
"As I said on January 6th, the president bears responsibility for these tragic events. The evidence is compelling that President Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection against a co-equal branch of government."
Burr concludes that he did not make the decision lightly, but Trump "violated his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution".
As for Cassidy, he kept his statement to the point: "Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person. I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty."
Senator Toomey has not issued a statement yet, but Politico reporter Olivia Beavers tweeted that he described it as the "right call" to convict and did not comment further.

I don't drink milk and only drink vodka if they are included with a bloody Mary
So I just saw on the news they freed trump and said not guilty.
I think any of you donkey brains who voted otherwise should be pinked for high treason.

Anybody with half a brain can see Trump was the cause of all of that. "Fight like hell!"
"I'm gonna be marching right with you!"
"Stole the election!" (With zero evidence besides the fact he didn't win.)
"Stop the steal!"
"We're gonna give 'em hell!"
I'd wager 95% of the republican senators fucking hate Trump, know he is guilty as sin, and are terrified of his lunatic fanbase and getting unseated. The whole trial was a sham with a predetermined outcome of not guilty.

But at least now we can continue to watch the republican party splinter into pieces over the next 4 years between the fiscal conservatives and the lunatic save our children Hollywood and democrats fuck and eat children people.
I can't see how those two sides can ever reconcile. How does sanity tag team with raving lunatic stupidity?

How they (the left, and right) decided if the impeachment was constitutional;
Remember which administration did something about him.
Remember which administrations let him walk around like he owned the place.
