Kudos to the House impeachment managers who presented their case with devastating impact using video footage to prove that former President Trump incited the violent insurrection at the Capital in a vain attempt to negate the certification of the 2020 election. There was little doubt the spineless Republicans would vote their conscience and convict their cult leader. Most Republicans had made up their minds prior to the commencement of the trial. Few made any effort to focus attention on the trail looking bored, irritated, while others were caught doodling on bits of paper. 

Former Vice-President Mike Pence, who falsely claims to be a devout Christian, betrayed his faith and maintained his loyalty to Trump who made no effort to shield him from an angry mob of barbarians clamoring to hang him on the steps of the Capitol. 

Trump made no effort to stop the violence and expressed no remorse for the tragic loss of life. 

Perhaps the most damning statement was made by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who sharply criticized former President Donald Trump’s actions for fomenting the attack on the Capitol last month, but voted to acquit him Saturday on the charge of “incitement of insurrection”. Kindly explain the double-talk Mitch! 

Fortunately, there is near certainty that Trump will be so overwhelmed with ongoing litigation he will rapidly fade into obscurity.
