No. He said yesterday he was going to vote to acquit.
He then voted to acquit.

Have I missed the vote? Ffs...

Ah, now I am hearing the about turn..

Call me Al

McConnell votes to acquit and proceeds to stand up and make a speech blaming Trump directly for the insurrection.
He has absolutely no honour.
Disgraceful stuff.

But he didnt incite insurrection, the trial found him not guilty.

A criminal court will not find him guilty of insurrection, most legal people have said that.

By your logic, Bill Clinton actually didn’t have sexual relations with that woman.

Y'all here the strict "criminal" case to convict him.. this is not a criminal case, it's a civil case were the level of proof is less then criminal.

If the situation this week where Cruz et al, as de facto jurors, were able to guide and direct the Trump defence team, blatantly and disgracefully, is allowed to stand, then the US Constitution has a very serious issue on its hands.

Perhaps the impeachment trials of Presidents and Judges and Senators, when they occur, should be presided over by a grand jury of the people.

It's almost like he has no morals. :rolleyes:

Great to see that justice has prevailed in the end.

Its not the end. It won't ever be the end in Trump's lifetime. He has shat all over the Constitution and the Presidency, allegedly abused power, coerced and betrayed the Country and people at every turn. His personal conduct has seen to it that he shall never know peace again.

MeMen2_MoRi_

Are they turning back to the "January immunity" stuff here with his bullsh!t?

Claiming it's unconstitutional on the basis of the timing he engineered, too.

Even for the rotten GOP he's uniquely grotesque.

It's the end of him being impeached.

Everything else that you've mentioned is just pure speculation so we'll just have to wait and see if he is actually convicted for anything that you have accused him of.

Innocent until proven guilty right?

Tell me how

Welcome back, where were you guys all week?

McConnell managed to piss off both the Democrats and Trump in one speech.

That takes some effort, in fairness.

Mitch McConnell doesn't think so.

Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States, mark my words. The chance was there to stop it. The chance is gone.

They must hate justice being done so.

That's true but doesn't take the charges into account. The charges regarding Georgia would be quite specific and the evidence pretty much bang to rights. He also wouldn't have co conspirators on the jury.

Unlikely it will happen I'd imagine, but the usual civil vs criminal distinction is mitigated here.

No chance. McConnell made it clear what he thinks. Republicans are still gonna be Republicans.

If Trump runs in 2024, he may get 10M+ votes, but he'll be taking whatever he gets from the Republican candidate.

Niki Haley started yesterday, watch the likely Republican candidates in 2024, including Pence, start to attempt to weaken him further.

If he is intent on running, it is good news for Democrats.

Because you seemed to be hiding until it was clear Trump was going to be acquitted.

What did you think of McConnells words?

When you make a proclamation, you cite where you read it, that's what's done round here as it's a forum of facts not rhetoric and conjecture. If you want the latter you can head off to the conspiracy forums, you'll find more of your like voices there

Not a hope, he is a spent force and will spend the rest of his days fighting court cases and trying to hold onto his money.

I haven't heard his words so I can't comment on them.

I’d say he won’t run again. It’ll be one of his children.

Real Donald Trump

Who'd have thunk it?

At least when he stands trial in Georgia, he will do so in front of a Jury instead of a bunch of self interested politicians

The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government

Mitch McConnell - January 19th

Not guilty.

Mitch McConnell - February 13th

There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day. No question about it.

Mitch McConnell - February 13th, a few minutes later.

Classic Mitch.

Precisely!
He himself decided that the Senate wasn't going to reconvene until 19/01.

I actually think in many ways he's worse than the Tubervilles or Grahams on this world. At least they're upfront with their naked support of trump. McConnell stands for nothing but empty rhetoric.
