Trump acquitted of both impeachment charges by U.S. Senate
The historic impeachment trial of U.S. President Donald Trump has come to an end with a conclusion that was widely predicted.
In a 52 to 48 vote, Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. Senate gained enough votes to acquit Trump of the first impeachment charge against him: abuse of power.
Senators voted 53 to 47 on the second impeachment article, obstruction of Congress.

It's almost as crooked as our Trudeau government. 
Only we have no means to impeach Trudeau, which shows how poorly thought out our system is.

Trudeau is just a garden variety idiot.
Trump is undermining essentially every democratic institution that exists. What he is doing is very dangerous for democracies worldwide. some may give him a pass as a comic book character, others may ignore what he is doing because the economy is good, but make no mistake, what he is doing is dangerous.

And Trudeau is attempting to restrict free speech, control the media, and change the voting rules, as well as interfering in our legal system. This is all just as dangerous, as it can effect the outcome of our elections.

And those to blame are the voters who put him there. They are the reason the country is how it is. Trudeau is just their idiotic puppet.

Are you referring to his government funding FOX News with a billion dollars a year?
Are you referring to his government taking away firearms from its citizens?
Are you referring to his government banning "offensive" speech which is determined by non-judicial tribunals?
Are you referring to his government overriding states powers under the guise of needing to protect us from "climate change"?
Wait, those are all things Trump is not doing but Trudeau is doing in Canada! In fact Trump is fighting against most of those!
Please do explain how Trump is undermining democratic institutions.

If you were joking, that would be a pretty good joke because they don’t have a system to impeach Trump either, which shows how poorly thought out their system is. Lol.
This whole duration of Trump presidency showed how bad the American system is. It’s garbage, really. While ours isn’t perfect, ain’t no way I would exchange it for what they have down south.
The **** show of the Democratic caucus in Iowa is another example of garbage.
I actually find it pretty hard to believe at the moment that the United States is considered to be the example of “democracy” the rest of the world should follow. No, thanks!

Their system is a lot better than our system. They have freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, neither of which we have. Of course the socialists want to take both of those away from America, but they have not managed to yet (and Trump is the one currently blocking them).

It's not just the administration - their entire political system is crooked and corrupt. Neither the Republican or Democrat parties are ethical. In my opinion behavior of the Democrats (Nancy Pelosi in particular) is just as childish as Trump.

You got it backwards. The Democrats are still butt hurt they lost the election. They have tried everything and still failed. If anyone's corrupt its the Democrats who cooked up the whole sham in the first place.

Haha not to mention we STILL don’t know the results of the Iowa Caucus... their fantastic new process was a total flop and of Sanders, Warren and Biden the individual leading is/was considered a long shot, Buttigieg. Sounds like all their polls are serving them as well in this general election as the last one.

The whole crusade against Trump is a long-running sham that has gotten so old nobody cares about it anymore. Will the Demorats finally give it up, or will they fabricate more nonsense and keep trying to the bitter end?

Sham or not, i think you are right that people were getting tired of it. I won't be surprised if this ends up hurting the democratic senators more than the republican senators as they go through re-elections for this very reason.

I don't see being acquitted by his friends in that joke of a process earning him any new votes.

What really surprises me, is that some Canadians are so interested in US politics, while they seem to be less concerned with the fact that we have such a corrupt regime in power in Canada. Canadians should be much more concerned about losing our freedom of speech, having our media controlled, and having our voting system changed to that the regime in power can increase their chance of being reelected. Trudeau interferes in our legal system, convicted murderers get new trials, because of his interference, and now he is attempting to disarm us. He drives us deeper and deeper into debt, while giving away billions to foreign powers, while our veterans and seniors go without. We should be much more concerned about these things that directly effect us, than about the dog and pony show in the USA.

2020 baby!
I’d like a trump here for Canada.
2 terms.
I don’t think even he could turn around what’s already been done and still in the works for Canada in only 1 term.

I very much so agree with you. It would be nice if we were as concerned with our own local policies and laws as we are with those outside of Canada. I honestly think people think that their responsibility ends with casting a vote. It would be nice if we could all put some of our time into local initiatives and keep the political system accountable. It will never be perfect, but i feel like we can take steps in the right direction.

A lot of you “Albertans” are going to need Kleenex come November when #1 All time US president Donald J Trump wins his election in a landslide.
Who knew putting your country first would be such a good thing?
