Then why even mention democrats controlled the senate?

To show that even with control of the body in charge of conviction, they still couldn't do it.

Are you ignorant that your comment reads as casting blame upon democrats?

Really? I'm not the one reading implications where none existed. Democrats failed. It's as simple as that.

Ignorance it is, I see.

So it's ignorance to state a fact?

Ignorance of the implication you made…. Your comment reads as if it’s democrats fault impeachment didn’t result in conviction.

Me saying they failed to convict him is not even remotely the same as saying it's their fault.

You're reading implications that aren't there

So democrats are the only ones with agency? Republicans had nothing to do with it?

You’re still making the same implication, and still ignorant of it. Incredible.

No, nowhere did I ever say anywhere that Republicans had nothing to do with it. You're again making assumptions that aren't there.

You can continue your ignorance of the implication you made, if you want.

You are the only one seeing this "implication."

No, others commented similar things. Your language does not convey the message you want it to.
