The Senate on Saturday voted to acquit former President Donald Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection largely along party lines, bringing an end to the fourth impeachment trial in U.S. history and the second for Trump.

Only seven Republicans voted to convict Trump for allegedly inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, when a mob of pro-Trump supporters tried to disrupt the electoral vote count formalizing Joe Biden's election win before a joint session of Congress. The final vote was 57 to 43, far short of the 67 votes needed to secure a conviction.

Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania all voted guilty.

The vote means the Senate cannot bar Trump from holding future federal offices.

Moments after the vote concluded, the former president issued a statement praising his legal team and thanking the senators and other members of Congress "who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country."

Trump never implemented a single lockdown. Totally false. He left it up to the states to climb out on that limb and all democrat deep state clowns jumped at the chance to ruin our country.

I loved the part where he stopped it and made sure everyone kept their jobs and livelihoods.

Oh, wait.

Under what law? States rights you know? Ever heard about that? People get the government they voted for or rigged the vote for.

No president seems to have much of an issue with executive orders these days.

How about the Insurrection Act? Ever heard of that, you piece of dogshit?

That's funny. Biden will executive order his way past every state 'right'. Trump had control of the senate and apparently could do nothing to combat lockdowns? Come on. Think about your logic here. You supposedly voted this man in to drain the swamp, and when he doesn't, in fact, when he goes along with them, your recourse is to say, "Yeah, he stood back and let the states do their thing." Was that the plan? The states were going to drain the swamp?

I too am awaiting the plan. Any day now.

So you admit he didn’t have actual power to help people. Except giving Israel 38b in foreign aid and 500b for nig businesses

He offered to send in troops to quell the rioting but was refused. If a mayor wants to let maniacs burn all the businesses out of the city then people can vote with their feet.

Troops? Why would you support government intervention?
