At Least One Republican - Mitt Romney- Still Has A Spine And Moral Compass

I never thought I'd say it, or admit it, but one Republican in the Senate actually showed yesterday he has the balls and intestinal fortitude to stand up to Dictator Donnie Dotard and his cult of criminals, traitors and enablers.  In a speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday, Mitt Romney said he would vote to convict Donald Trump on the first article, becoming the first senator in U. S. history to vote to remove a president of his own party in a Senate impeachment trial.See his full speech here.

The Senator from Utah said:

"The grave question the constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the president committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor. Yes, he did.”

Adding:

“With my vote I will tell my children and their children that I did my duty.  What the president did was wrong. Grievously wrong.”

And with those words he torpedoed the insipid meme  that Trump got "total vindication: or any vindication. True, only four Senators were in attendance but the fact Romney is the first and only Senator to break with his party on an impeachment votes seals his place in history. Alas, it also means the vipers and vermin in his own party - starting with the Traitor-in-chief and his spawn and ass lickers will now come after Romney with blades drawn.  After all, the Republicans have almost entirely devolved into a cult and we know what happens when members of a cult dare to disagree with the leader or the zombie members who adore him.(Donald Trump Jr has called for Mitt Romney to be expelled from the Republican party.)

Romney’s move was rightly praised by several leading Democrats including primary House impeachment manager, Adam Schiff, who had led the team that made the case for Trump’s impeachment during the trial.

Romney’s speech reportedly came as a surprise to the Dotard Traitor White House, which abruptly cancelled a planned press event with Trump and Venezuela’s opposition leader.  Trump Jr,  Dotard's oldest maggot spawn, who recently tried to peddle a preposterous and churlish book, e.g.  

Trump Jr's Book Shows He's As Much A Lying Mudslin...

 Wasted no time tweeting his deranged venom, accusing Romney of being “forever bitter that he will never be president",  i.e. after losing the 2012 presidential election to Barack Obama.  Don't these losers ever get off their one track moron minds that it isn't about elections, or "overturning" previous ones, but holding to some moral compass and code, say as defined by the Constitution?  Of course not, because they have no moral capacity or sensibility themselves!  They are simply out for their own personal gain - whether robbing the country blind with their sleazy cons and gimmicks, or violating every norm and law on which the nation is based.

Like the typical cultist he is,  Donnie Jr. then  called for Mitt to be expelled from the Republican Senate conference. Such a move is very unlikely, but hey, we can't put anything past these cockroaches.  Joni Ernst has already vowed that within days - if Biden is elected- impeachment proceedings will begin if the Reeps regain the House.  Not to be outdone, Kevin McCarthy has insisted the Dems impeachment will be "expunged" if the Reeps retake the House.

Which makes me believe McCarthy must be on some pretty potent MJ candy or maybe opioids, or a mix.   So also I suspect is Lisa Murkowski, whose brain appears so addled she can't tell the good guys from bad.  She actually said in a speech on the Senate floor that the chamber “should be ashamed by the rank partisanship that has been on display here,.” 

Adding later: “It’s my hope that we’ve finally found bottom here.” She voted to acquit Mr. Trump.

Lady, the only thing to be ashamed of is the moral blindness and cowardice of those like yourself who would don the specious mantle of "rank partisanship" to try to find cover for your own crimes of protecting and enabling a depraved traitor.  How do you even manage to sleep at night after  acquitting this mutt?  Must take a hell of lot of Ambien

Trump, meanwhile, tried to strike back at his moral superior, Romney,  by posting an idiotic video that is as lame as he is  - especially if he now believes he will transcend the black mark on his presidency.  

Which will be there long after his orange offal of a body is eaten by orange (and yellow) maggots.

Trump Jr, the president’s eldest son, quickly tweeted, accusing Romney of being “forever bitter” that he will never be president after losing the 2012 presidential election to Barack Obama, and then calling for him to be expelled from the Republican Senate conference. Such a move is very unlikely.
