I’d suggest paying their lack of integrity back with a hearty and well deserved trip to retirement. Imagine a long career which they may have taken to heart in the beginning, but trump steered them down as long dark road for which they were all unprepared. Elect Democrats.

If you don't get reelected bozos, it's because you were bad at the job.

What if Donald Trump is removed from office by U.S Senate? How the U.S political systen will be? What will anyone defending his narrative say? U.S House Republicans and AG Barr... How the World will react?

Hiding from the truth won't help them get re-elected. Who wants to vote for a coward? Here's an idea: If you don't want to hear the witnesses, don't watch. Stay uninformed. But, get the fuck out of everyone else's way.

Senators know the lay of the land in D.C. They know right from wrong & truth from lies. They were not elected to be complicit to wrongdoers, they were elected to make just & sometimes tough decisions for U.S. and they must help their constituents understand 'the good for all.'

They all took the same Oath of Office. It was to the US Constitution, not the Republican Party, or the habitual liar the Republican politicians enable out of fear. Everyone in the US who cares knows impeachment is well deserved. Cowardice will rescue Trump...for now.

Any republican against realDonaldTrump should be primaried ASAP. We are at war with left for the survival of America. No time for nonsense. Primary them. Trump has over 95% approval rating in the Republican Party.
