u.s. can come together again after the trial years the walkways in the streets around the u.s. capitol are covered with a thin layer of ice things are still frosty in washington one day after the historical impeachment trial and acquittal of former president double g. trumped. the past week of drama and excitement in the capital right here is finally behind us. the 2nd impeachment and acquittal of donald j. trump now former president donald trump is also behind us is it time to move on democrats managed to get 7 republicans to vote with them to vote for a conviction off donald trump for what happened here or join a 6 but now it's all over and is it time to move on and if so how. i think there's a lot of

trump is already over why because this is ministration need the senate needs the republicans needs if functioning senate to pass laws to actually push policies through the institutions of the united states of america and don't forget joe biden promised he will be the president who unifies the country who helps the country to heal and to bring spec republicans and democrats in a common effort to do good for this country i have to hope that they're going to be working together. i also don't think donald trump is a unique thing that came up 4 years ago i think this is sort of been building up for a while and hopefully the country can once i think it would be nice to have the country finally after all this but i just think president trump is just so vindictive that he's not done he's he's not done with or without donald trump in the picture coming together politically is likely to remain
