No surprises here. The House did a poor job, failing to charge Trump
with the total slate of abuses of the office of President.  But they
did
send the request for impeachment over to the Senate.  And 51 Senators
bravely handed Donald Trump a "get out of jail free" card.
Already Donald Trump has approved a record number of White, Male,
Ultra Conservative Federal Judges.  His administration has already
underfunded Departments such as Education, VA, Health and Welfare.
Massive millions of dollars are now lined up to "vote" for Donald
Trump in 2020.  Voter's lists are being purged, voting districts are
being Gerrymandered, and voting poles are being closed in many Working
Class neighborhoods.
Are these really the end times for democracy?

Subject: Senate votes against allowing witnesses in President Trump’s
impeachment trial



The Senate rejected the idea of witnesses in President Donald Trump’s
impeachment trial, all but ensuring his eventual acquittal. The vote on
allowing witnesses was defeated 51-49 on a near party-line vote.
