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."

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.

Trump made legal constitutional executive orders. Now we are all going to see how that power can be abused.

Read they back to yourself and try to think unbiased about what you said.

LOL. You should see the presidential limo Biden rides around in and that "Air Force 1" what a treasure that pile of smoking crap is. What, did they borrow it from some studio?

If this is all an act, then it's even more sick. spits

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?

If Trump had done the things Biden is doing the left would have had ammunition. Trump deliberately let the blue states fuck people over and never once overreached his authority. Even the military distributing the vaccine was just word play. Have you seen that happen? No? Why? Out of office he's more powerful. Why do you think he's been so quiet? They have no idea what he is up to and neither do we.
