Damn you, Republican Senators. You had the chance to remove him from office, but you didn't.

It was obvious to all that Trump has broken many laws, that he has horrible judgment, that he is temperamentally unfit to be President. But instead of taking the opportunity to impeach an unfit president, you weaseled out.

You will never be able to wash away the bloodstains resulting from your bad decisions.

2. If we emerge from this with a two party system I sincerely hope the GOP is't one of them.

I hope you're right.

4. It only takes...

It only takes some revisionism and repeated lies to wash away those sins today. Scrub, scrub.

Of course, when you have a large pack of people who are only consumers, (like cows that stand and chew their cud) and nothing more, you can tell them anything you want to and they are natural born marks and rubes who might not even know anything about history or how their government functions, but if Fox Noize says it, or some two-bit, conniving member of the GO-Pee does, then it just has to be the honest to God truth.

Now they deserve the results they get, but too bad that those of us who are immune to that game have to be afflicted by the "nothing but consumers". They could never manage to preserve and defend a democracy and probably don't even know what it is. Losers.

5. If only Pence had been president, none of this would have happened...

wait, what?

8. For this crisis situation I think he would have been measurably better than Trump.

10. Which Trump decision is the one that made the difference between people dying and no one dying?

While Pence might not have acted like the same sort of jackass that Trump is, I doubt any decisions of substance would have been different.

13. He might have heeded the warnings earlier and listened to the experts.

He's an asshole, but he's not Donald Trump.

14. There seems to be quite a few countries that aren't run by Trump or Pence that are in no better

shape than we are. I'm all for getting rid of Trump (and Pence, for that matter) but I'm not sure that would have mattered too much in this case.

15. The number of cases of COVID-19 already surpasses that of any other country and

is growing very rapidly.

[hughee99]

17. Look at cases per capita.

Italy, for example, has about 30K fewer cases, for example, but 250 million fewer people. And if Trump tried to handle this the way they did in China, that never would have been acceptable, especially on the DU.

9. They refused to remove a sadistic mass murderer from office.

Unfortunately the lesson is he can do anything he wants.
