Happening now

The Senate acquitted former President Trump in his historic second impeachment trial, voting that Trump is not guilty of inciting the deadly Capitol riot.
Seven Republicans joined the 50 Democrats to find him guilty, but they fell short of a two-thirds majority needed to convict.
Trump is the only President in US history to ever be impeached twice and the first to have his impeachment tried in the Senate while out of office.

Republicans (mostly) in victorious mood

Here's a glance at what conservative Twitter is saying post-trial.

Donald Trump Jr, the former president's eldest son, was quick to weigh in on all that his father is doing right, with a meme to boot.

Conservative pundit Laura Ingraham accused Democrats of not caring about the law, just "political points".

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, deemed it all a waste of time.

As he should be!

Pitiful and disgusting lot these Dem loons are. As are the 7 who voted against those who voted them in. This means that Trump can still run for office if he ever so chooses so I wonder what these fools will come up with next in order to try to keep their claws on the power button and waste more tens of millions of taxpayer money.

Interesting outcome. Quite a precedent has been set, which emboldens the democrats when they loose power. Lots of violent lefties out there... more so than there are Trump supporters. And. as Trump once mused... The left are more unified than the right. And thanks to BLM and wot not, the left are now more armed than ever before.

Not that it matters... The US will loose her global leader status in the next 5 years.

Trump is the only President in US history to ever be cleared twice of 2 bogus impeachment charges.

This historical event will stand against the intolerant aggressive bullying cheating democrats for all time.

I hope they go to hell.

And the left wingers won't apologise after leading the lynch mob
and having a rope ready for Trump's neck.
