Add in a blue House and Kamala winning next month, and I'll be jig-dancing ecstatic.

each and every Republican Senator who voted to acquit Donald John after the January 6th riots is that they failed to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. They all thought of their party and their careers and voted to acquit Donald Trump instead of barring him from public office. They failed our country by showing crooked authoritarian politicians that there are some lines you do not cross without drastic consequences.


They failed our country. Ted Cruz failed our country. He should be thrown out of office.
