Apparently, according to McCain, all we can do is wring our hands and “hope” that trump miraculously changes his personality and regrets being a traitor to the united States.
Senators have no power to do anything, I guess.

“No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant. Not only did President Trump fail to speak the truth about an adversary; but speaking for America to the world, our president failed to defend all that makes us who we are—a republic of free people dedicated to the cause of liberty at home and abroad. American presidents must be the champions of that cause if it is to succeed. Americans are waiting and hoping for President Trump to embrace that sacred responsibility. One can only hope they are not waiting totally in vain.”
Then maybe YOU and your party should have treated President Obama better when he stood up to Putin. The GOP sided with Putin over Syrian chemical weapons. The GOP yawned when Obama placed sanctions on Russia for Crimea and election meddling. In short, you guys spent eight years undermining Obama on everything, and now you are bitching because your boy is on the world stage tossing Putin’s salad and siding with Russia over America. YOU helped make this happen Sen McCain, and yes, we are also aware that while you TALK critically of tRump, you VOTE WITH HIM.

My question for McCain, as always when he takes on the Awesome Glow of Maverickacity: “Knowing what you know now, would you have voted for Hillary Clinton instead?”

Who told you that and why did you believe it? I believed it at one time, but that was a lot of worthless grandstanding ago.

I totally remember McCain giving Obama the benefit of the doubt and working tirelessly to fulfill his constitutional role to the Obama administration, don’t you?

If no one can give the President any bad news, then they should all resign. Nuts simply nuts

Committing treason is not a “mistake,” it is a conscious act.

Soaring rhetoric, but utter bullshit which might play in crAZy. From a book by the former NYT book reviewer Michiko Kakutani whose family was interned in UT during the war and holds out no hope for the PuPPet to change esp. since he’s so willing to intern innocent asylum seekers to score political points
Philip Roth said he could never have imagined that “the 21st-century catastrophe to befall the USA, the most debasing of disasters”, would appear in “the ominously ridiculous commedia dell’arte figure of the boastful buffoon”. Trump’s ridiculousness, his narcissistic ability to make everything about himself, the outrageousness of his lies, and the profundity of his ignorance can easily distract attention from the more lasting implications of his story: how easily Republicans in Congress enabled him, undermining the whole concept of checks and balances set in place by the founders; how a third of the country passively accepted his assaults on the constitution; how easily Russian disinformation took root in a culture where the teaching of history and civics had seriously atrophied.

Rick Tyler, if I’m not mistaken, who in the past has been one of the “both parties do it” types. But Steven Tyler has no use for PPee either.

In order to convict 2/3 of the Senate must vote “Aye.” They couldn’t convict Clinton whom they hated. But I would like to see PPee impeached by the House even if it only means his name and his deeds will be under discussion for a long time.
A little late to the party, guys. I know what. Impeach his ass! With only GOP clutching their pearls as a consequence, what will be the NEXT betrayal??
Not so sure about the your first sentence, but the ones above are spot on.
Paulie would have to present a bill of impeachment to the House. Does anyone really think he would do that even though he’s on his way out? This is why we must do everything we can to make sure we Dems hold the House beginning in January and the new speaker could do this.

I’m happy he said what he said.
If any of those fellow Republicans you cite didn’t know that he was by implication calling out their cowardice, more words about deeds wouldn’t make a lick of difference.
Recycling a comment I wrote earlier today. Yawn.
… it’s the knee-jerk blame-the-Democrats-when-Republicans-fuck-up response I am so, so tired of.
