Thank you all for bringing attention to the people running to oust these spineless republicans from the Senate. Please please please continue to write about them and get their names in the public consciousness . Don’t forget

I too am surprised that she is (still) a US senator.  C’mon people of Maine, get it together.  It’s time to take out the garbage.

Collins always seems surprised to find that she's a US senator and then further surprised that people want her to answer questions about her job as a senator. 

Yes, if only we could find that mythical “perfect Democrat” who would sweep us off our feet and force the GOP to uphold their oath’s and constitutional duties...

And to think when I came to my church leaders and said, “I cannot, in good conscience, teach young children that Genesis is literally true,” I was quickly transferred to a different group. Yeah, priorities people.

We shall see ... Mormons are good honest people, and they take their faith very seriously. Unlike 52 blaspheming republican senators who swore on their faith and then kowtowed to a false orange diety.

Romney didn’t have much to gain in casting that vote either which makes it very useful, imo. Despite know there would be consequences, Romney still voted to convict. As I’ve listened to Trump supporters dismissing his impeachment as partisan, I’ve thought back to how only one person voted against the Iraq War, Rep.…

Yeah, let’s spend less time worrying whether we should praise Mittens or not when we should be calling out people like Collins for being absolute trash.

She’s gotta be out this year right?

Perhaps not heroic but certainly gutsy. What I like is his speech about making this decision based on his faith. This is an issue that can split the republican vote. Mormon folk are not voting for Trump for sure now.

To which Trump said when told of Collins statement was basically “The phone call was perfect and hadn’t done anything wrong.”

Sanders supporters are prone to narcissistic persecution complexes. Any outcome in which Sanders does not emerge from the primaries victorious will be painted by them and by Bots as evidence of illegitimacy. We have to resign ourselves to that inevitability.

Utah’s arguably the most conservative state in America but it’s also state won by Trump with the lowest percentage of the vote.

Yes yes thank you. I really don’t understand the point of articles like this. We know Mitt Romney is a conservative Republican who literally is everything the opposite of a socially progressive liberal. Of course he votes and voted for garbage legislation and has garbage ideas (we know! he ran for president already!).

I especially love that he’s got six more years in office hahahaha so those constituents are livid that they’ve gotta put up with him for that long. I love it.

The other thing Romney’s vote does is to give the impeachment added historical weight as the only instance of a senator voting to convict a president of his own party during an impeachment vote. Trump is forever stained. 

The vote today was legitimately the best plausible outcome we could have hoped for going in. Romney’s clearly looked at the Republican caucus, then looked at his own approval numbers in Utah, then looked back at the president and the caucus and said, “You know what, I don’t need any of you. Watch this. And then try to…

Do I like Mitt, or agree with most of his positions? No.

I’m not inclined to praise Romney, but I’d rather focus on the craven idiocy of people like Susan Collins, who graced us with the laughable horseshit that she felt comfortable voting to acquit Trump because she felt he had learned his lesson, as if he hadn’t spent the entire preceding 4+ months claiming the call was…

Imagine what would have happened had Lavery not spoken up. Imagine how many other times (past, present and future) children were/are/will be abused because people with inside knowledge do not speak up. I hope Lavery is safe and the person who expressed this level of attraction towards children gets the help they need…
