After a lengthy argument between House managers and President Donald Trump's counsel, Republicans in the Senate are expected to vote down calls for witnesses in its impeachment trial, starkly contrasting the desire of 75 percent of Americans and dismissing bombshell allegations from potential firsthand witnesses.

Republicans are then expected to vote overwhelmingly to acquit the President.


Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) surprised no one with an announcement in a Medium post that he'd acquit the President, but some were surprised that Rubio didn't claim, as have other Republicans, that Trump's actions were "perfect."

Rubio wrote:

"Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office."

The words seemed to many like a rebuke of Trump, and even an admission that his actions were impeachable.

Rubio said that even assuming arguments from House managers that Trump's actions constituted abuse of power were true, removal of the President would be too divisive:

"I will not vote to remove the President because doing so would inflict extraordinary and potentially irreparable damage to our already divided nation."

The statement, to many, was at odds with itself.







Once Senate Republicans vote down witnesses, they're expected to hold a speedy vote to acquit the President.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
