      You mean Republicans by not voting for removal after successful impeachment BOTH TIMES and thus barring him from office, right???

      We didn’t even have to get here and it’s not the Dems fault we did.

        Expecting Republicans to do the ethical thing while requiring them to oppose their party is foolish. They are party over country.

        Why not both? It only would have taken one of them to actually do something, yet neither did. Sharing is caring, after all.
