Happening now

The Senate acquitted former President Trump in his historic second impeachment trial, voting that Trump is not guilty of inciting the deadly Capitol riot.
Seven Republicans joined the 50 Democrats to find him guilty, but they fell short of a two-thirds majority needed to convict.
Trump is the only President in US history to ever be impeached twice and the first to have his impeachment tried in the Senate while out of office.

Republicans (mostly) in victorious mood

Here's a glance at what conservative Twitter is saying post-trial.

Donald Trump Jr, the former president's eldest son, was quick to weigh in on all that his father is doing right, with a meme to boot.

Conservative pundit Laura Ingraham accused Democrats of not caring about the law, just "political points".

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, deemed it all a waste of time.

the big fella is probably a bit sad. he might need some anti depressants, maybe Dr Jill could prescribe

being found guilty and jailed would turn him into a jesus , mandela, ghandi type hero.

can his lawyers appeal the verdict?

the big fella doesnt want to just head off and play golf and be with his super hot wife.

he wants to contribute.

biden could make him "secretary of state" perhaps

MSM’s Narrative About the Murderous Capitol Mob Collapsed,
but Don’t Let that Get in the Way of a Good Political Lynching

https://www.infowars.com/posts/msms-narrative-about-the-murderous-capitol-mob-co...

As their dishonest narrative collapses around them, mainstream media outlets and Democrat politicians are trying to hold together their latest bid to destroy Donald Trump, but some of the lies are getting too big to shrug off.

Only President to be impeached twice and lose the popular vote twice.

And the majority of the Senate just voted to convict him.
