Romney voted to convict, of course, because Mitt Romney is an unremediated shithead. I am so very glad that I never, never, ever cast a single vote for that worthless dick splash.
Well, his traitorous gesture only served to identify him as nothing more than a turncoat, and I'm hoping that the next time he stands for election he is ousted.
"Romney's Entire Career Has Been About Punishing Republicans For Voting For Him" and for damn sure Republicans should stop electing him and make him join the party he actually belongs to.

Hackaday goes all warmista. When I first read the post, there were a double handful of comments, mainly skeptical of AGW and nearly unanimous in the "this isn't a hack" camp.
I'm not going to sift through the 140 comments there now to see if they still trend that way.
A Maunder minimum seems more likely, anyway.
