There are a million things the democrats could have done differently to get a conviction on Trump. The biggest, in my mind, is that they could have kept their messaging clear: This was TERRORISM. It was not a riot. It was not just some little insurrection. People keep saying 'insurrection' with this wry little boys will be boys smirk, and it pisses me off. People died. It was TERRORISM. Period.
Failure is not an option in the war on terror, is it? That's what we've always been told as they invaded and murdered half the middle east while acting like tin hat despots in Gitmo.
Failure is only an option when the terrorists are white? Or are we really having a serious war on terror right now?
The republicans need to be fed their own war on terror. I want to watch them turn blue in the face as they choke on it while we send their senators to Guantanamo Bay.
All I see are senators who are too weak to protect us from terrorism. They whine that the courts are too clogged to prosecute the off duty cops who committed terrorism, after they appointed a record number of judges. They want you to forget about the 14th amendment, and just put up with Greene in the Senate. They want you to believe that McConnell is to blame for Trump getting off the hook.
I say fuck both sides now, though. The democratic party's excuses are both hollow, and dangerous. I don't care if they are democrat, or republican, every single last senator must go. I'm in PA, I'm voting against both Toomey and Casey for this (well Toomey isn't running again, so we will see what happens). They both voted against Trump, but Trump is not the issue. The issue is that the Senate as a whole must be flushed, just like it needed flushing after the invastion of Iraq. I have never once supported anybody who voted to invade Iraq, and I never will. This is another one of those kinds of votes, except in this case, I won't support anybody who was even present. Fuck every last one of them.
