The Republican-controlled senate collectively shrugged in the face of Trump’s crimes. So much for checks and balances

The acquittal of Donald Trump reminds us once again of the fragility of American democracy. The failure of impeachment along blatantly partisan lines means that the crucial barriers protecting us from authoritarianism cannot be relied on. The fate of the country’s institutions are left to the mercies of a man singularly unfit to safeguard them.

Well he did say he could commit murder and still get voted in. He seems to have murdered decency

Who are you to say anything. Obviously you have no clue what an impeachable offense is!!

Actually...it’s doing great. Don’t believe the FakeNewsMedia We love our President 🇺🇸

Anti-Christ is now in the open, no denial about it. The world is not nice anymore. There is no justice in America! It might have been all hash hash in the past, but now it is all in the open. Either you are with us or against us! The word is oppression.

Says a 'journalist' who apparently doesn't realize that the Democrats - ironically named - want to replace American democracy with Marxist globalism.

THIS is what happens when one of the two main parties in a democracy, lurches toward authoritarianism.

Biden: If the prosecutor's not fire, you don't get the money ($1B!). Ukraine reached out to Trump for help with their ongoing investigation with this info. Trump is within his rights as president to determine what happened. The rest is coverup.

Donald should never have had to endure this ordeal, which was borne out of jealousy

Translation we must fight the Republicans at all levels, besides Mitt they are all owned by Trump. There can be no compromise, no go along get along after this.

Democracy as a model of government is showing its limits because its man made. And man is limited in time and space. Or maybe other parameters are in motion which we can’t see all the stakes. Dire times!

Its a constitutional Republic

no. Now we'll begin to see the real crimes from Biden, Pelosi and Schiff's sons in Ukraine Although I doubt the Guardian will report on those

Corruption in full view!!!! Wait for November, Trumpolini!

Interesting considering the mess the UK is in today.

Non existant

All is well with American democracy; the Democrat Party, not so much! KAG2020🇺🇸 MAGA AmericaFirst PromisesMadePromisesKept

‘K. Thanks for the input, peasants

Democracy? A mirage.

Yes it is baby 💋

'REAL democracy always gives me what I want, and recognizes that I have the only valid perspective!!!!'

While I'm not political nor party affiliated, and indeed American and Proud I believe a gentleman named George Washington said something about 2 party system being a terrible idea

Our Republic is functioning as it should

Democracy gets overshadowed by thick Fascism whenever Far-right gains currency.

Correct , you just can't make stuff up & get away with by trying to impeach the President. How foolish they look.

Both the US and UK prefer to be lied to than face reality

Poorly written article.

Salty much?

United States just killed his decency and morality.

Claramente manipulado. Igual quando tiraram a Dilma.
