1. One can only hope....

and pray that this time they'll be enough senators with backbones to actually convict the criminal. I'm not holding my breath, tho.

2. Same here! I thought that the House members put together an impressive and compelling case

But too many Republican senators didn't pay the least attention. We can only hope that by now enough of them are waking up and sick and tired of the felon's blatant lawlessness.

3. Or at least wake up to the fact their "careers" are going to go kaput

if they *don't* show a backbone, Rhiannon! I still think the repugs will fall out, each man for himself, no matter what. they don't act from any practical or moral standpoint, only a monetary or egotistical standpoint.

Maybe if there were to suddenly be a run at the hardware stores and Walmarts on pitchforks and tar?!

4. LOL! Which would be well deserved!

And rather than standing up for the rule of law, a number of Republicans are giving up and going home. We keep hearing that the Midterms are going to be a Democratic landslide - but there was news today that the felon-in-chief is planning to challenge voting rights at the states' level. All we can hope for now is that the courts continue his unprecedented losing streak...

5. I'm afraid this election is going to be a basket case...

there is so much chaos going into and out of the election. Between fighting TO vote, and then fighting to make sure all the votes get counted correctly... people are going to be exhausted once all the votes are counted. And this time, if there's even a whiff of hanky panky, the DNC better start calling in the lawyers and filing suits. Hopefully they've gotten the message that we're tired of our leaders not wanting to have anyone think we're as litigious and contrary as the repugs... grrrr. But truly, it's voter apathy borne of exhaustion I worry about. That can screw things up coming and going... both in getting people to the polls, and in them having the stamina to withstand his outrages after the votes. And trump can run anything into the ground for absolutely f*ing forever! I mean, he's already started in with the mayor's race in CA. Like he can give a damn about the mayor of a city in any state.

6. MaddowBlog-Republicans prioritize effort to 'expunge' Trump's impeachments from the record

For six years, Trump has pushed Republicans to unimpeach him and wipe the slate clean. Now, the House speaker considers this twisted goal a “priority.”

For six years, Trump has pushed Republicans to “expunge” his first-term impeachments and wipe the slate clean in order to address his hurt feelings.

This year, it might actually happen — because Speaker Mike Johnson considers this twisted goal a “priority.”

As is too often the case, GOP leaders’ focus apparently lies elsewhere. The Wall Street Journal reported:

President Trump and his allies have discussed pushing lawmakers to pass a resolution aimed at voiding his first-term impeachments, according to people familiar with the matter.

The resolution would allow Trump to claim a symbolic victory on a matter that has dogged him since his first term, part of a broader effort to burnish his presidential legacy. It would have little legal significance, however, because the Constitution provides no procedure for undoing an impeachment, according to experts.

This is not simply a matter of backroom chatter and whispers from Capitol Hill hallways. Trump explicitly told the Journal, in reference to the efforts to “expunge” the record, “It should be done because I did nothing wrong.”......

History buffs may recall that a related effort happened nearly two centuries ago. Lawmakers censured President Andrew Jackson in 1834, only to have his allies “expunge” the censure from the record in 1837 after control of the Senate switched party hands.

The point at the time was for partisans to say that the congressional action happened, but for the sake of the historical record, it didn’t really count. Trump and his acolytes appear to have similar intentions now.

Indeed, as recently as two months ago, Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California introduced a measure to undo both of the president’s impeachments, which coincided with assorted items Trump posted on his social media platform endorsing the broader effort. The same week, as part of an effort that appeared quite coordinated, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard used her office to also take aim at the legitimacy of Trump’s first impeachment.

Just so we’re all clear, this is entirely about Trump’s ego and hurt feelings. There is no mechanism in place that allows for a president to be unimpeached. But Trump sees this as a stain on his record, and he’s eager to have sycophantic GOP members do his bidding, rewrite the recent past, symbolically wipe the slate clean and make him feel better about himself.
