Feb 5, 2020-- Trump Acquitted

The day Republicans voted to acquit their president despite his crimes being proven. 

It’s the dawning of a dangerous era. The law is not just malleable, it’s a weapon in the hands of the injustice. 

Democracy is being discarded as democracy is the first things authoritarians dispose of. 

The lead up to the re-election of an authoritarian is a time of strife and violence and the assault on basic human decency. We need to be ready for that. 

We need to steel ourselves. This is a day that will be written about in history books. If there will be history books.

The voting was mostly on partisan lines, Democrats voting to convict, but interestingly,  Republican Mitt Romney voted for Article I, breaking Republican ranks and showing the impeachment was "bipartisan" and showing other Republicans what cowards they are.
