Yesterday, Mitt Romney demonstrated more integrity than three generations of Trump’s, and the rest of the GOP Senate, have ever exhibited collectively.

And you’re still IMPEACHED.

This so gets under his skin
He knows it
Every Senator who voted to acquit knows it that in their heart Mitt is right
They just lacked the moral courage to do what is right
History will brand them as what they are
Cowards

All is not lost. I’m sure we can count on the House to approach comprehensive, meticulous investigations of Trump with renewed vigor, after his reelection.

Look, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have fought and died in numerous wars, all to protect the right and ability of members of Congress to avoid being primaried. Your comment disrespects them, and disparages their sacrifices.

Whatever his reason, I’m just glad he did it and am proud of him.

You know, Donald, even your supporters wonder why you have to spend quite so much time making snippy little remarks about people. You don’t get that a lot from the alpha types, actually. More from nasty, bitter losers. Who were never accepted by the Manhattan elites because they’re stingy loudmouth fakes. Those types.

Heads on a pike indeed
How dare someone diss the Great Leader. I bet they wish they had a rocket launcher to fire at Mitt

I look forward to the Concern Crew bemoaning Trump’s persecutions and prosecutions of perceived enemies once he gets seriously revved up on the project. Barr, Rand and Lindsey must feel every morning is like Christmas right about now, with new presents just waiting to be opened.

It’s so easy to get under his onion skin. By now your know his tweets–sometimes nearly word for word–before you read them.

Well now that Trump is officially a resident of Florida he’ll take the “Florida Man” crown unanimously. He’ll show those New Yorkers a thing or two.

Yeah, the report of threats of heads on pikes by Chairman Schiff was just a defamatory lie he made up. Looking at you, Lisa Murkowski.

Totally surprised Romney did this. In the face of Trump, and the GOP’s history of ‘eating their own’ it takes brass balls.
