The March of the Forty-Three Scoundrels. . .

 There are those who vote for safety;

There are those who vote for pay.

But the ones who vote for treason,

Vote the soul they sold today.

Deep within the darkest thinking

of the mind of Steven Daines,

Lies that scoundrel, full of mistrust;

Selfish traitor, he remains.

John Watson

Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) sold his soul to whatever remains of the Grand Old Party of Republicans when he voted to acquit Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States, at his impeachment trial on Feb. 13, 2021.  He, and forty-two other spineless Senate Republicans, drug a reason for acquittal from the garbage can of pestilence and gave new life to a washed-up and traitorous man named Trump, with the worst character flaws ever to be supported by a once-prideful political party known as Republican.

Neither prayer nor demonstration can halt the advancement of Trump and his legion of thugs when those forty-three U.S. Senate Republican's "stand back and stand ready."  America could have rid him from the annals of history, but for those thieves.  They could have convicted him and disqualified him from ever holding a federal office.  They had the clear, solid evidence, but they listened to the devil in their ears and voted their uglier conscience.

Sen. Daines considers himself safe for at least the next six years, since he won re-election last November.  But he will only be safe from embarrassed questions if he sneaks into Montana in the dead of night and races out before dawn.  Montanans are heated up over his decision to acquit.  Seven of his Republican Senators saw the truth and brought themselves to vote their conscience. Daines is full of pee and vinegar and, because of his vote, is looking for bigger things for himself in the Party.

Daines evidently didn't look for the evidence - and some say he has no conscience.
