Trump has been whining that he's a victim since the early 1980s.

Should he have?
I look at it like this, if I worked with someone that did their best to get me fired under false pretenses but it didn't work out for them do I give them a pass and shake their hand as if all is forgiven or do I laugh in their face and spurn them? I'm going with the second option.
She hates his guts, he hates her guts. It is sheer hypocrisy for her to offer her hand, and he was smart not to play that game with her.

Bribery, extortion and obstruction of justice... and violating the emoluments rules.
Funny, not one of those were in the articles of impeachment.

Do you think you know more than the houses lawyers? They listed not one crime.

Having been fired from some jobs during my career, I had a choice how I responded to my former bosses after being told I was fired.

I chose to be polite rather than telling them exactly what I thought about the whole situation.

To me it's being an adult.

And there is no question about Trump being an "adult".

I voted <other>.
I'd ask myself....
WWHLD?
(What would Hannibal Lecter do?)

I decided that he'd smile & shake her hand...creepily.
So I changed my vote to <yes>.

Most people who have done business or come in contact with Trump over the past 40 years hate his guts.

Acquitted = not guilty

What's he doing to her?

You might not understand what "not guilty" means. It in no way means "innocent". It only means that the accusers did not make their case, or and this used to happen in the South quite often, there was a corrupt jury. That Trump is "not guilty" is only a legal fiction. He must be treated the same as an innocent person, but he is far from that.

Trump will do it again..

Trump is guilty.. The Senate is a pack of old cowards.
I keep having to explain this.
It isn't so much about guilt or innocence.
It's about whether the Senate wants (as a branch
of government) to replace the Prez with the VP.
Certainly any crimes committed are a consideration,
but ultimately, it's political. This isn't cowardice in the
sense that they're doing something wrong out of fear.
They're doing what they believe to be best. (Though
there's the question of best for whom...country? Party?)
Twas thus with Clinton, & is the same with Trump.

Clinton's stupid blow job is NOTHING compared to what Trump has done.

This seems to be our McCarthy era.
