But Bill Cassidy is not a member of the Louisiana State House. A censure from a body, that he is not even a member of, is a completely hollow gesture

Huh? It’s their state Republican Party executive committee. This is far more appropriate that the shameful, embarrassing spectacle Democrats just put on.

That is completely meaningless political posturing. It does not impact Bill Cassidy's standing in the United States Senate whatsoever.

That isn't true. Senate Democrats voted overwhelmingly in favor of allowing witnesses, and several Senators from the Democratic Party have expressed disappointment and confusion with why they weren't called. I saw interviews with both Tammy Duckworth and Kirsten Gillibrand on MSNBC last night where they expressed disappointment. That far right source (redstate.com) is lying.

A major difference I've seen around here between the right and the left is that the right posts sources and the left just types on their keyboards. You don't like the Redstate source? OK, but i noticed you didn't provide a source of your own. Well here's a left wing source:

The agreement to eschew the consideration of witnesses came after Senate Democrats were caught off-guard by the call for witnesses from the impeachment managers.

Democrats in the Senate said that it shouldn’t be seen as abnormal that they didn’t know there was going to be a push for witnesses. “We don’t coordinate with the managers,” Sen. Ben Cardin said. “So we did not know that they were going to request witnesses or not. And that’s how it should have been.” But it seems Democratic leaders were not too fond of the idea that Trump’s second impeachment trial could go on for days or weeks longer. Now both sides give their closing arguments Saturday and there will be a vote on Trump’s guilt.

I don't believe that for a minute. That is something they will say now... after it's over.

.... and Trump has already left town a loser. Nothing which happened yesterday changes that. The electoral college vote totals from the 2020 Presidential Election will always read:

Joe Biden 306
Donald Trump 232

That's the way it would have ended if Dems hadn't pursued impeachment charges. As it turns out, the last event in Washington, DC was a winning one for Trump

Do any of the lawyers on here know how many of the January 6 rioters, who Trump was charged with inciting to insurrection, have been charged with the crime of insurrection?

No one other than a diehard Trumper can view what came out during the impeachment as a win for Trump.

I don't call "winning" having 7 members of your own party voting in favor of conviction. That was more than what was expected going in to yesterday. That was not a purely partisan exercise at all, and it can not be spun that way. There were more inter-party votes in favor of Trump's conviction than any Senate trial in history. When you also factor in Mitch McConnell's statement... that was hardly a great day for Trumpets.

I'll make it simple for you:

Senate holds impeachment trial
Conviction=defeat for Trump
Acquittal=win for Trump

End of story

Trump is already out of office. So it's not that black and white. The point was to make the best case against Trump as possible and try to get as many Republicans on board as possible for votes to convict. Nobody ever thought they would get 17.... but 7 is a solid showing of bi-partisan support. Trump is damaged, and the Republican Party is split. That's good enough.

It was pretty much what was expected. We knew 6 would vote against him. Perhaps the 7th, a Senator who's not going to run again, was a surprise but that's it

LMFAO so yeah it was pure political theater just for the basis of some long game perceived political advantage. And that was deemed worthy of dragging the country thru this. Democrat Clowns. 🤡

If you are including total attempts at running for President, even those which did not result in garnering the nomination of a major political party... then you would also have to include Donald Trump's failed bid as a Reform Party candidate in 2000, but you probably didn't know about that did you? Technically then... Trump record is just 1-2.
