The 43 (complete list here) will not be remembered fondly.

To quote a friend, “Today tells me that there are 43 Republicans and 57 Americans in the US Senate.”

The precedent set is of concern.
The cowardice of the GOP is palpable.
It’s remarkable that so few Republicans put their country first.
But some did step up and do what was right. Remember, Sen. Mitt Romney was the first, in the first Trump impeachment, to vote to impeach a president of his own party. So the seven also matter.
Unfortunately, they’re the minority within their own party.
How can the Democrats ever work with these obstructionist cowards who answer to one man?
The demands to kill the filibuster might never be louder than they are now.
Beyond the filibuster, folks are looking forward.
Then there was the limerick.

Anger. Rage. Disgust. That is the vibe.
